    Kobe can keep shooting and get 50, and Lakers will still lose

    If I'm the Lakers I'm looking at trading Bynum for another young exciting player. Someone will bite...

    Sorry but dude looks like fools gold. If you can't perform in this game, a elimination game then you likely aren't a franchise player.

    I guess what I'm wondering about now is how does this effect the Dwight sweepstakes. One of the things I'm wondering is was the proposed Lowry/Scola for Pau deal part of a manuever by the Lakers to get Dwight there, appease Orlando by giving them multiple players for Dwight, perhaps Bynum and Scola, while getting a PG to play with him and Kobe (Lowry).

    Wonder how Orlando feels about Bynum and Gasol after this series?

    Glad lakers are gone. You know Kobe's going to be b****ing about his teammates when he doesn't know how utilize them. Trade rumors left and right this offseason.

    I agree with that. Too slow getting into his moves. No explosion. Has to rely strictly on out-lengthening defenders. And doesn't make good decisions in traffic with the basketball.

    Call me crazy but pau is better than Bynum. Bynum ain't ready for this.

    Bynum isn't there yet, partially because this Lakers' group is tired of each other and poor coaching. Once the Lakers commit to making him the primary option and Kobe accepts that, he will blow up to about 22/15. His immaturity and the fact I dislike him aside, I've always felt he was destined to be a dominant C. Besides fumbling a couple of passes, Collison is playing like Superman on both ends tonight.

    Lakers were doomed from the start and never had a realistic chance to contend this year the moment they hired Mike Brown.

    If you took the names, faces and ages off the players and watched this series, OKC would seem like the seasoned veterans and the Lakers the unproven youngsters.

    This Lakers era is closed. Offseason speculation will be fun.

    tehGlide, WCFs will start Sunday since OKC won tonight.
