^^Calm down, every NBA fan knew it was over at 3-0 regardless.
I'm still wondering whether I should follow the playoffs anymore.
I'm going to play Lakers GM. My credentials? 5 years worth of NBA Live experience. My first appointment: Brian Shaw as head coach.
This team doesn't need to be blown up as a lot of people are saying (Magic Johnson I'm looking at you). My expertise in guessing makes me believe Bryant has
at least one full year of
top performance left in him, so the Lakers need to act fast. They'll need to figure out whether they'll make a move for a future SG or wait for the draft when Bryant calls it quits. Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol should not be traded for anyone. Bynum shows he hates losing (ask JJ Barea) and Gasol was below average through the playoff. Clearly there were off court issue on Gasol's mind through the playoffs but that only makes him human.
In conclusion, get Trevor Ariza back as the team sorely lacks a 3-pt shooter. Everyone else can be put on the tade block in order to get a quality PG that can run this team. I pity the fool that picks up Luke Walton's contract in a trade.
Its gonna be a long off-season, not forgetting the lockout.
First of all, you don't smoke peyote. That's one thing you don't do...
Phil Jackson, you f!@#$%g rock!
