Kobe is the cancer of the team and perhaps the biggest reason the Lakers lost the championship (outside the fact that Detriot straight balled them). Kobe was trying WAY to hard to be the franchise and he was shooting the biggest garbage shots in such terrifying volume it's no wonder LA lost. Shaq should've gotten a touch everytime down. Basically what happened was Shaq would get 5-6 touches in about a 4-5 minute span, he'd drop about 8 points in that said window, but then for the next 5-8 minutes he wouldn't get one look.
LA is not going to be a contender next year, I'll put the farm on that. Unless they make some more deals over the course of the off season, when at the same time teams like Sac, Dallas, Pheonix, Minnesota (please dump Kandi and Wally!) and Denver are making some big moves, LA is fucked. I predict LA maybe being a 5-6 spot at best in the West and taking a first round exit. You have 0 size, and to much has been or zero talent players to do anything.
