    Yeah, more than likely.

    The obvious solution is to parlay Nash into a decent supporting cast. They don't need him, but there are 20 teams that do (and have useful players the Lakers would like). Of the big 4, he's also the only one making under $9m/year, so it's not hard to come up with matching salaries.

    Problem is that he can't be traded until July 1.

    When this team inevitably disappoints, I think he's the one who gets shipped out to try to diversify the team. Maybe there's a limit to how "super" you can make a superteam.

    The team I saw last night was not a team that could win 65 games.

    Please don't hold it against him. He's had a hard week.

    Yes, the Lakers will make the playoffs. However, if they go 1 and done, then Howard will not re-sign with them.

    Im still confidant in my prediction they will make the finals. I thought it would be a rough ten games before they started to click. Ill raise that up to a rough first twenty but after that there going to be really really good.

    But here's the thing: that team LOST in the Finals. Lakers are expecting a championship. Yes, the Heatles won in Year 2 but they are much younger than the Lakers.

    Yeah and you thought the Heatles would win 75 in their first year. Learn the game, then post.
    What decision? He was traded. He can sign with any team he wants next year. Including us.

    Who cares? If four HOFers don't win it all, it's a failure.
