    True, they have had issues in the past, but whos to say they can't put it behind them? Look at Kobe and Phil, they are getting along great now

    PJax also had issues with Kobe, but grown men can usually work out their problems.

    PJax and West just had different ideas on how the team should be built and direction the franchise should take. I don't think they had any personal issues, but when two stubborn people get together it's hard to find common ground.

    hmmm Lakers the most talented team.

    Overly talented players: Kobe, Odom, Bynum, maybe Radmonovic

    Rockets: Tmac, Battier, Yao, Bonzi, maybe Rafer

    Miami: Wade, Walker, Haslem, Shaq, Williams, Mourning, maybe Posey

    Actually I'm thinking that Dallas has to be the most talented team, they always are: (I thought they were more talented, not as much as past years though in star depth)

    Dirk, Josh Howard, Jason Terry, Stackhouse, Devin Harris, Diop/Dampier, and Michael Finley's contract

    Its hard to determine who has the most talent. Even New York could be near top of the list.

    I'd agree with that.

    i quote from a book titled The Show

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">On the final weekend of the 1999 season, as the Lakers were about to be swept by the Spurs, West was sitting in the nearly empty Great Western Forum when this book's author mentioned Jackson.
    ***** Phil Jackson," West said.
    Thinking that he had been misunderstood, this writer again mentioned Jackson. "***** Phil Jackson," West repeated, emphasizing the words and his disdain</div>

    That's how Jerry West feels about Phil. Unless Jerry West has a change of heart, them two coexisting is as possible as the Clippers replacing the Lakers in LA.

    I think in terms of talent and potential the Knicks are at the top.
