How is bringing this guy in making them a contender? They arent in the same stratosphere as Miami or even OKC still, sure they might be slightly better than they were last year, but if they trade Gasol away they will be worse, unless something happens and they get someone that plays out of his mind for them, but on a team with Kobe Bryant on it that isnt going to happen.
Unless Nash comes in and instantly bypasses Kobe and goes right to the big men 75% of the time this team wont be any better than they were this past year, which is better than I thought they would be but other teams are much better also so it all evens out I suppose. But you know around game 10 or 11 Kobe will start bringing the ball up and jacking up his stupid circus shots and Lakers will just collapse like they always do. I doubt Nash has the stones to put kobe in his place so it will be just like it has always been.
Instead of trading away all those draft picks they should have tried to work a way to get rid of Kobe in that deal.
