*Official* 2007-2008 LA Lakers "the year we missed out on KG" thread

[yellowdoyle]

Odom could be an All Star fo sho.

Lakers are a decent team, I think they will get in the mid 40 as far as wins go.

Kobe still wants out though. He thinks that management sucks and they lied to him and he feels like he has been mistreated. Not even so much he wants to go to a much better team, but he just wants to be done with Mitch and the whole gang.

To the poster talking about Walton, yes yes yes. He is absolutely key. We can't trade him. If you watch the games you will realize this. Basketball doesn't have the statistical purity of baseball, Walton definitely is key to this team.

I don't think you realize what happens when he is not in the game. What you get is 4 statues who can't shoot, pass, or dribble and Kobe. It's awful to watch. Fisher makes things a little better because he understands the offense, but nobody can create a shot.

He creates shots for his teammates all the time. What are you talking about? Drawing the defense and kicking it out or to a diving cutter is creating a shot. He is pretty bad at creating good shots for himself though.

Ahh, my mistake. Because I took create a shot to mean = create a shot for yourself. (whcih he cant do off the dribble) passing wise, yes, he is good at that.

Walton is a glue/character guy...but he's not that big a deal. His $5-6M a year deal is pretty generous relative to his contributions imo.

Kobe, Odom and Bynum are the only Lakers who really matter at this point.
