Hello Dwight and Deron

[Hawk]

Lakers are done for a while. Don't really see a future for them.

their core is locked in for a few more years. Plus, they are a huge draw for talent, I wouldn't worry about the Lakers!!

best sweep ever?

[Kevin Greene]

Wow, just saw what Bynum did after finsihing watching golf and seeing B Ball highlights. Cheap shot, no excuse for that. Throw the book at him Stern.

As for the Lakers, 3 straight finals, 2 Championships, can't ask for moe than that.

Be interesting to see how next year lines up. I suspect they'll do what they usually do, ream some other team in a deal and bring in a quality Point Guard.

Nice, poo all over Derek Fisher, the man who has been there for 5 rings.

[Kevin Greene]

Where's the Black Mamba? I thought he was the most clutch? Getting swept and a 30 + blowout in an elimination game is clutch? Now the team is taking shots at the smallest dude on the Mavs? Wow. How tough of you. Bynum is a bitch. Odom is a bitch. Kobe is KING bitch. I cant stand the Lakers and Im enjoying every minute of this demolition. If this were LeBron....

He'd be making plans to leave town.

Nice try at the troll, Derek has earned his spot in Laker history.

Time to move on.

This is more than likely true.... San Antonio is on the decline with aging pieces, Dallas maybe at their peak this season with the age of their players, but should be back strong next year... And you have lots of young teams on the com up.... The west will be up for grabs next year.

The lakers have the pieces to trade to get younger, hungry pieces who can gel together. So I would not count them out in the west.... But winning... there are young teams in the east who are really on the come up with Miami and Chicago...

This is if we even have NBA next year...

[Hawk]

that's a huge if!

being how the NFL is on the verge...I'm thinking there's less interest and financial impact if the NBA season get's screwed/shortened.

[Dpantherman]

wow Bynum is a huge piece of poo for what he did

[Kevin Greene]

Yeah that was a disgrace and not Jerry Buss Laker basketball. I wonder if Bynum now will be trade bait.

[Dpantherman]

Hats off to phil if this is it. Much respect for everything he's done.

The Lakers have a rapidly aging superstar, a soft #2, absolutely no PG, an overall old team, horrible chemistry, & a coach who's likely to retire.

Yup, nothing to worry about. :rolleyes:

Oklahoma City is a piece or two away from being the dominate team in the west, not LA.
