Original Picture From NBA.com |
- He is Lakers Star Player Kobe Bean Bryant.
- Lakers' season already ended as they got knock out at playoff stage by the Dallas Mavericks
- They lost the best of 7 in ugly fashion 4 - 0
- When you lose a series of 7 with 0 win, that is call a sweep.
- And when it's a sweep, a broom is involve.
- Thus, Got Broom? - YES they have one.
So after this humiliating lost, many article spawn online and even from Lakers Legend - Magic Johnson. Should Lakers go into rebuild? Who should they trade off? Who should they keep? And when this kinda article comes on, there are bound to have articles which compares the current player and pointing finger on who are those who should leave. I just felt that the team was a little distracted as a whole. Odom having his own TV show, Artest was trying to sell his ring(talking about ring, did Morrison collected his ring yet?), Bryant has too much injuries from fingers all the way to ankle and god knows what the rest are doing.
Bynum was playing at a very good level through out the season, the killer Bs (Brown, Barnes, Blake) done their part as well which is why they are known as the killer bees but that was during the regular season. The bees and Gasol seems to just lost it once they hit the post season.
I still think that they need to give them certain credit and not just wipe the team out simply because of a sweep. I know that a sweep is disgraceful and I do not like it either. I think doing immediate movement is not a choice but then again it wouldn't be any bad to have any movement isn't it? In any case what if we really need some movement ?
Let's look at the team now.
- Bynum , Gasol , Odom
- Artest, Barnes,
- Brown, Blake, Fisher, Bryant
- Walton, Smith, Caracter , Johnson, Ratliff
I have not much information on the reserve guys as I do not have any access to their training or games. As for the starter and main bench it might be good to move some guys around.
For the big, I might let Bynum go and keep Gasol and Odom. Gasol might performed badly for the post season but I think he just need a little rest and do not forget that he is the "right hand man" of Bryant which made the back to back happened. And Bynum's health is still debatable from time to time.
Although I am never a fan of Artest, I might keep him around for now as the Lakers need his D around (still).
The guys at the back court need to shake things up a lil frankly. No doubt fisher provide good locker room asst and able to make some big shots from time to time but these days, boys at the PG like Rondo, Rose, CP3, D.William are just a little too physical for him. Brown might be a good to keep player but I would rather see him as well playing more minutes.
It will be good news if the Lakers can get either Howard or CP3 and it will be sick if we are getting both. I think it's important to bring in at least another franchise player so when Bryant is calling it a day we will still have a good player sticking around.
So many "what if" and I just hope that we all these what ifs can be cleared up. Can't wait for next season already.
Mr.Smith, Playoffs seems a lil pointless now.
