If someone had to go, I think it should be Cuttino Mobley. He is a good player, but he can't stay on our team. We need some diverse players...not identical twins.
this thread provides an easy way to tell where people are from. It seems there are quite a few people here from LA or Bay area.
regarding Lakers, I think Phil Jackon prefer to use well established players. He is probably not the best guy to coach Yao. If Kings can get their hands on Yao (and keep their current key players except Divac), it is almost certain a lock for 3-peat. I do want Rox play well but if things don't go well, it may be hard to keep Yao after three years. Sadly, Rox has so many bad big contracts and it is hard to improve much through trades. BTW, you ought be crazy to vote for Yao and Rox ought be crazy not to do anything to keep him.
