    Thank Buss! Man when this came across my radio while I was in the car a few hours ago, I literally gave it an mj/Kobe esque fist pump. It felt good too!

    still depends on our chemistry and how artest and the bench performs (shannon and ammo)

    im so releaved that odom finally signed, that line-up of odom-kobe-ron-pau-bynum i think is like a dream for phil and i think hell use it, although i am drunk right now so maybe what im saying makes no sense at all, anyway yeah id love to see that lineup on the floor all at once, nobody could stop us making passes into the post or kickouts to the wing (kobe) because of the hieght advantage we would have! with odom signing in we solidify our roster and all our bnch players are reduced back to thier original role of, well let be honest, passing the ball to kobe and pau, lol.

    I'm sooo glad this is over now. We're definitely going to be the odds on favorite to win the title this year with our core being back in tact and the addition of Ron Artest replacing Ariza. God I can't wait to see this team in action.

    Ron Artest's relationship with Odom apparently made the difference.

    I hope though that Mitch doesn't forget how weak our other bench parts are and make some moves that could improve it, though I doubt any more moves are coming.

    Bench and depth win you games in the regular season. In the postseason, especially if you go deep, it's mostly your top 8.

    Drew/Pau/Ron/Kobe/Fish/LO/Luke/Brown

    Obviously improvements can be made to shore up the roster, but I'm pretty happy with what we have now. Sasha and Jordan can't possibly be as bad as they were last year. I'm hoping that Sasha playing for his national team will give him more confidence coming into the season, and that Jordan will step up due to it being his contract year.

    Yeah, I guess our top 8 is good enough, but Orlando's top 8 looks better though. (But they don't have Kobe.)

    I like Sasha's decision to play for his country too. Hope it might revamp his shooting touch during games.
