Thank god someone cleared up the Kobe being MJ statement.

MJ made people better around him. The only person Kobe is concerned about, is Kobe. He'll get his 25 shots a game. At any cost. And whine like a little baby at any cost as well. It doesn't change the fact he's the most exciting scorer, maybe ever, to play in the NBA. Guys got more talent that MJ ever had. Maybe one day he'll grow up and be the leader he needs to be. Then you can compare him to MJ.

Odom the next Pippen? Quite possibly. This guy is good.

The bench is much more depleated. No Fish. You haven't signed Malone yet. And unless you have Vlade, you've got an overpaid, overrated center. The entire Midwest with the exception of Utah will probably run the Lakers of the table. They can't compete with Sacramento now, and the Suns made some decent offseason moves. Lakers are probably the 8th or 9th team in the west. Still, respectable by all means. They'll be fine. Not to mention, Vince Carter and Jason Kidd are still out there. Jerry Buss isn't going to be sitting still with those 2 names still out there, and an aging Gary Payton making 5.5 million next year.
