The Blue Board

I'll take that and raise you Chris Mihm as the starting center.

Inconsistent. Dwight could put up 30 a game if he wanted

No you are a hating faggot who doesn't watch basketball and makes judgements that have nothing to do with reality. Go watch sportscenter and tell me about how the reffing was bad again.

Injury issues, inconsistency and the fact that I just think that the Lakers are infatuated with Dwight and Dwight wants to play with the Lakers. I know that they don't want to get rid of Bynum but I think if they had the chance to get Dwight, they should and will trade Bynum. He's a beast and all but he's no Dwight Howard. I also think they could get a stud PG and some depth by doing it.

Stop interjecting facts man.Kobe should have made it the playoffs with a bunch of castoffs.I mean not one allstar on his team.Big Z was and has been a freaking allstar.These dudes are retarded.Larry Hughes was better than any other Laker besides Kobe.Dude just said a combo of Butler and Odom was better than a combo of Big Z and Hughes at that time.Straight retarded logic.

That's LBJ's he took to the ship.

Great for LeBron.You can get off your knees now because he's still a pussy.Great player just way to sensitive imo.You guys seem to share that trait though.

I remember it all now. Shaq was traded to Miami (which is the year they won the title) for Caron and Odom. We had 2 rookies in rotation Sasha and Cook. Atkins was the pg and Mihm was the center. We actually made it to the playoffs the next year with Kwame and Smush.

I get that the back injury is something to be worried about but he had only missed about an average of a game a season before this. His back had also been hurt all year long and he was playing with the pain so I don't think it's something that's going to nag him for years to come once the surgery and rehab are over.

I'm not a Lakers fan, actually not even close, so I'm just guessing here. I do know that Dwight wants to be a Laker in his heart of hearts and the Lakers certainly want him as well. If I were a Lakers fan, I would much rather have Dwight than Bynum but that's just me. Your certainly going to have to address the PG issue sooner than later and you dont need both Howard and Bynum. Maybe they could both co-exist and you could address the PG issue by dealing Gasol.

Yes. Butler was a two time all-star, same amount as Big Z. Again do you watch SC just?

Ilgauskas was also an all-star before he had all sorts of foot trouble.

Watch some basketball and get some facts dumb ass.

You're seriously stupid.In the years we are talking about,were Odom and Butler allstars?Was Big Z?The answer is hell NO and YES.Butler didn't become and allstar until wayyyyyyyyy after he got traded away from LA douche.

No Big Z wasn't an all-star when LBJ led them to the finals. You were wrong, its okay.

The Lakers also got wiped three years in a row. Not just didn't make the playoffs.
