    You deserve to be a star or superstar when you produce in the playoffs and consistently and better be alone and not relying on others that makes you a superstar....

    you can shake your head all you want

    When you play well during stretches.....this is just a good start

    I guess Lebron isn't a superstar...

    But, I thought we were talking about "What IS" not what WAS? Sure, Lebron did that 5 years ago, but in last years finals, he had the worst playoff series of his career. According to y'all, he's on the decline too. Poor lebron :(

    Last year was a career year. Theres more evidence to support him getting better than declining.

    Regardless, we would be much better with him and Nene than we are now.

    Lebron is more talented than Gasol ever will be....
    He had his lows and he is younger than Gasol. Gasol's chances to ever get back to very good again is lower....I just don't think he will put great numbers on the Rockets

    He will be good for the Lakers. Case closed....Can you please cheer for our actual team?!

    If we just judge a player by his last playoff performance, then Morey's best deal in history would've been the Trevor Ariza signing. Dude was a beast in the Lakers title run.

    I think we just had bad luck in the last decade.
    When we had the best Center and top 10 swing man we didn't have Ariza, Robert Horry.... good rebounders and clutch players

    Shane was good, Scola was good but not enough

    Yes, I felt we were luck to have that trade off, and am glad we do not have him. He is soft to play as the first option in any NBA team.

    Nene / Gasol / Parsons / Lee / Lowry

    Mismatches in the post, good defense everywhere, good rebounding- top 4 seed in the West

    No doubt...... but who are the other 3 teams?
    You can't count out Clippers, Spurs and Dallas entirely
