FACT! 1. He was overrated coming into this team and his role was expanded...now that we know what he can do he is STILL NOT doing what he should/can be doing on this team... 2. He is supposed to be Kobe's #2 Man and he is...BUT NOT ENOUGH...he needs to be putting up 18-20ppg...this guy should be more aggressive, but has done nothing, but underachieve like he did in his Clipper days 3. I don't want him back....xP Fact or Fiction??? Bynum will be averaging 15ppg and 9rbg and 1bpg by the 07-08 Season

KG had to wait until his 3rd year to get 15 and 9 in which he got 18 PPG and 9.6 RPG. KG also is one of the best players ever to play the game. Lets see the 07-08 will be Bynums 3rd season. I don't think Bynum is as good this year as KG was in his rookie year so I think it will take Bynum about 4-5 years to get those numbers if he doesn't turn out to be a bust. Fact/Fiction Kobe breaks Wilts 100 point game record.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Fact/Fiction Kobe breaks Wilts 100 point game record.</div> This is a hard one- there is no question he has the ability to but I'm not sure what the circumstances would be where he would be needed to, or allowed to score that much. I think he will break his career high of 81 however and get into the 90's, and if he can do that then I guess why wouldn't he score 100?

Since no one will ask a question I'll ask one, Fact or Fiction: The Lakers "07 Plan" will bring in at least one superstar to pair with Kobe?
Fact I think the Lakers will try and bring in KG, whenever that is..But I think Chris Bosh or Rashard Lewis would be a good fit next to Kobe... Fact or Fiction: The Lakers will win atleast one more championship before Kobe retires?
Fact Kobe on Quite Frankly said, he will stop at nothing until he gets another championship. Fact or Fiction: Will Devean George be resigned at the end of this season?
Maybe. Lol. does that count? It all depends on how much he wants, he's been having a pretty solid year and has a TON of playoff experience as well as Finals experience. He know's what it takes to win- that could drive his price up, something LA might not be able to afford. Perhaps we can trade McKie away for a pick, and then re-sign George. Fact or fiction: If the Lakers make the playoffs, will Kobe get MVP?

Fiction: The way they are playing NO! But, they can beat the Clipps. Fact or Fiction: Garnett will weasle his way to LA?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bobcats:</div><div class="quote_post">Fiction. F/F: Laker fans will continue to dream about KG and Kobe being paired together.</div> Ask a question, don't break the chain!
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Laker_fan:</div><div class="quote_post">Ask a question</div> I did.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">F/F: Laker fans will continue to dream about KG and Kobe being paired together</div>. Yes of course. I actually hope KG is traded this summer, just to end all the damn rumors around him. F/F - The Lakers will re-sign Devean George?
Fiction. They should've traded his and Slava's expiring contracts. They could've gotten a young player and or a pick. F/F: LA will win at least 2 games in the playoffs (If they make the playoffs).
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Bobcats:</div><div class="quote_post">I did.</div> My bad, I didn't realise the "F/F" sign and thought you made a statement about the Lakers dreaming about Garnett. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting AB17:</div><div class="quote_post">Lamar Odom and or Smush will stay consistent the rest of the season.</div> Fiction, even Kobe can't stay consistant for 15 games, asking Lamar and Smush to do this is crazy. I think as long as Lamar keeps his recent agressive attitude, he can continue playing well for longer periods of games. I think he's averaging something like 18/9/7 shooting 60+% since he took up his aggressive attitude. Smush can't stay consistant. Expect every other game to be either average or poor by Smush. F/F: The Lakers will make the playoffs. Understand this means winning around 65% of our remaining games.
Great to see the thread coming alive Fact: I see Kobe coming out and exploding for the last 15 or so games to bring them into the playoffs. Fact or Fiction: Andrew Bynum will be the Lakers future?
