Orlando's management was manhandled during this entire ordeal, and they walked away with a worse deal than they were offered from other teams. Pathetic really. On the other hand, I'm glad Howard & all his drama has left Orlando.

Can't wait to see how well the new Lakers can mesh together next season, on paper they look like a serious thread to the Heat.

With the additions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, the Lakers are going to be a serious contende next year if they can mesh together well

I think with Nash, Kobe and Gasol seemingly more mature players in the league, they will mesh quite well. The odd ball will be Howard and will be interesting to see how he makes the transition especially in LA.

I hope you guys are right. Kobe only has 1 or 2 more good years in him and then the lakers will be crap until we can find another superstar.

Kobe has 0 good years left in him; have you seen that ball hog flail in the Olympics! And I'm a Lakers fan!

He has sucked during the olympics but he even addmitted that he has been sitting back and watching and he needs to get more assertive. He scored 20pts in 1 quarter last night though.

Remember he averged 28pts per game last year, and for most of the year was the highest scorer. He still has more in the tank then most of the league.

I think it will be between OKC/Heat and Lakers next year..

Go heat:D

Don't you mean OKC/Lakers and Heat? :confused:
