Lakers have probably a few year window for a Championship. The up and rising Hornets will definitely challenge the Lakers in the future. Plus, Lakers will need to fork over a lot of money to resign/extend Bynum.

Their window is much more than a few years. Kobe is still only 28, Gasol is 27, Bynum is 20. There will be no issue extending Bynum, I guarantee it. Dr Buss has always been willing to pay for superstars, especially young ones. Lakers, Blazers, and Hornets will be the teams to deal with in the West for a good period of time.

Well, yeah, no shit. Except Kobe, Gasol, Odom each are making like 15 mil/year, and Bynum will probably also command a maximum contract as well. That's a lot of money right there. I mean, I suppose you could try retain that same productive bench while shelling out 60 mil/year for 4 players, but then you're treading into Yankees territory, and paying that much, you'd better win a championship.

No way will they be paying Gasol, Kobe, Bynum and Odom big contracts a the same time. I seriously doubt Odom is here past this season, my guess is he goes out in the offseason before the draft. But even even if they don't trade him, his deal expires after next season, and Bynum's extension wouldn't kick in until the season after.

I guess I take back what I said about the salary cap thing, but Odom will be pretty hard to trade.

Not when you consider he has a very large expiring contract next season.

Huh, well fuck me I thought Odom had 2 more years.

Is this before or after Kobe starts acting like a self centered egotistical douche bag again and his whole team hates him....again?

lol

the rockets are horrible. They'll beat nobody.

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

Rockets have been playing well lately, but I agree they are out in the 1st round again.

I hope they keep Jefferson over Carter. I get so pissed when Carter when does these great offensive shows and then plays NO defense whatsover :| Lazy SOB

they don't make the playoffs

 

[LordSnailz]

That's a big trade by the mavs ... although I think Mavs will actually come out on top with this deal. People are underestimating kidd, he's one of those players elevates the game of his teammates, that's something you can't judge till they few they have a few games in and have the chemistry going.

 

[Shlong]

The Rockets were injury riddled but at full strength and a healthy Tmac / Yao, I can see them getting past the first round. Scola has been playing better as of late.

Wow, a self centered egotistical NBA player, whodda thunk it?

Also, if the entire team hated Kobe, would they have come out and played the way they have this season even before the Gasol trade?

I think the only player ever to hate Kobe was Shaq, another self centered egotistical jerk. Look at the way Shaq is pissing on the Heat after leaving there, just like he did LA.

Phoenix - Probably Suns in 6 or 7 but who knows how the Suns look with Shaq.
NO - Rockets in 6 or 7
Lakers - Lakers in 6 or 7
San Antonio - Rockets have played them well this season.

Rockets are hot right now winning 9 of their last 10 games, they could climb up higher in the seedings.

I hate to break it to you, but everyone in the West is red hot right now.

Not as hot as the Rockets. The Rockets have shown what kind of team they have when they're healthy (11-1 over 12 games). The 2nd half of the season is a much easier schedule as well.

 

[Nitemare]

talk about selling the farm.....

this is worse than Ditka trading every draft pick to draft that pothead from Texas

 

[Marinski]

looks good for the mavs

 

[Alistar7]

Bummed the Cavs couldn't swing him somehow, but seeing what it took I can understand their unwillingness. We're gonna bring back World B. Free to pair up with LeBron.

Come on. Are you being serious right now?

Suns could beat the Rockets in 6 at the MOST
Spurs could beat rockets in 5
Lakers could beat rockets in 6

The rockets are a good team, dont get me wrong. But I would put them at 6th or 7th best in the western conference at the HIGHEST.

You're on crack if you think the Rockets will take down any of those teams, even NO. But that'd require you to get into the playoffs, and that more than likely won't happen given the teams that are in the SW division.
