I think the new Lakers are better then the team last year. Yes we will strugle againts teams with big centers. But we have a better scheme to fit Kobe and Odom, and Payton. We will be running again. Look, Shaq comes in out of shape and is useless the first half of the season anyways. But this team is better. Especially if we get Malone back to share with Grant at F/C. I still think we need a big man. Not a scorer but just a big body like the Bulls had for Jordan. After Shaq and Kobe we had nobody and the Pistons took advantage of that. The singled Shaq and let him get his. The only other guy that could do anything was Kobe so they would triple team him cuz everyone else on the team sucked cuz Shaq takes up so much money. Well now thats all different..

Of course, this assumes that Bryant won't be in prison next season. There is, after all, still the small matter of his criminal trial in Colorado, which begins Aug. 27. Until Bryant walks out of court a free man, Lakers fans can't declare this latest saga over just yet.
