The Lakers got Kwame, Bynum, Odom for Shaq. If Kwame and Bynum can ever live up to their potential, the Lakers may have the last laugh on Miami. If there is one thing I learn centers don't get more mobile past the age of 30, especially tubby ones with bad feet and bad backs. Miami is in win right now, we wish this season could start right now mode. Every second that ticks in a closing of that window.

they didn't really get bynum for shaq. they got grant, odom, and butler which became kwame - so they got kwame, grant, and odom for shaq. but i agree, if bynum and kwame live up to their potential then the lakers are an amazing team. two 7 footers with complementary games along with one of the best players in kobe and a tall, unselfish 3 in odom. if vujanic even becomes decent as a point guard they will be oversized at every position.

They did get Bynum from Shaq because he would never been on that board when the Lakers pick if Shaq was still on that team. That's why I include him in there too.

yes, they got bynum because they didn't have shaq but not FOR shaq. it isn't like they got the 10th pick from orlando.

Shaq is worth evry penny. He is still the best player on the Heat. He still has at least a few dominant years left in him. (Unless he gets taken down by injury.)

oohah

I just gotta give some props to this BIG MAN! He took less money next year and deferred his money to 5 years so he can get some help. Man, I guess he is learning from Pat's mistakes.
