    How sweet will it be when this team doesn't win a championship?

    Just like it'll be sweet when a Spurs' team with Kidd doesn't win one.

    Just like it'll be sweet when a Mavericks' team with Mourning doesn't win one.

    Think of it that way.

    Umm, Drewdog, your response is duly noted. Unfortunately, it doesn't make any sense since I did mention it when I posted this thread. Thanks. :rolleyes:

    If Malone and Payton sign with the Lakers, you can just pencil them in as the NBA champs for the next three years.

    And the argument that Malone and Payton won't play nice with Kobe and Shaq? C'mon. These are NBA vets with 35 years of playing experience. They want to win, and they've shown that they will do what it takes.

    It's not like they'd be coming to the Lakers with the idea they'd be the go-to guys. They know what to expect.

    It is just like Barkley when he came to the Rockets after we won in '95. He saw 2 All-Stars (Olajuwon and Drexler) and he wanted to see if that would work. So did Pippen, and it still wouldn't work. But with those two coming to the Lakers?! Man, that's some firepower that the Lakers have been dying for....

    I wonder what will happen to Horry and Fisher....:confused:
