Say what you want about the Lakers or Kobe but I think a majority of players would like to be in the Laker organization. Garnett would be a great addition but it would come down to if he could work in the system that Coach Phil is putting forth....and other things of course...he seems loyal to Minnesota but that might be fading their best chance to make the NBA finals was a couple of years ago and might not come around again any time soon...

>>Some rumors they may package some of these young guys and trade for a veteran like maybe Garnett in the next off-season. I have mixed feelings about that but they do need a third scorer to emerge<<

I am of the opinion that they need to share the ball and have the open player score it. Take the best shot on the floor, they have plenty of guys who can score it. I hope they get to that point someday.

Theres been a lot of talk about that but honestly, I dont think its worth it. Considering the young talent that we have, Garnett is great but he isnt the "future" of the Lakers if you know what I mean. I praise Jerry's desicion on working in new, young players (with great talent) around Kobe's leadership. As much as I love Garnett, I hope that we dont trade away pieces of the team that are just starting to get a handle on Phil's game plan.

Maurice Evans seems to be turning into a strong, and reliable scorer off the bench. A great relief to the teams top scorer, Bryant, which will prove relieving both as a reserve and starter if Bryant misses games (praying on my knees that wont be the case).

Y'all I just relocated to the Bay Area...people want to talk to me about the Kings and Warriors....BUMP THAT!!! Lakers baby!!

Watched the Suns-Wizards game,
even though the Wizards won
the Suns are a scary - title-contender-type team
no doubt
