p.s. those who are ready to hand the title to the Lakers are wrong to do so... Sure they have a heckova chance but, not a sure thing... they'd have an old team... and injuries would certainly be a big if... in addition to which, there's only one ball... Kidd on the Spurs would be scary... again, it's going to be the WILD WILD WEST!!
I have to agree with you there, although they are stacked with talent (and even more so if Malone joins them) it is only on paper. Team chemistry is a huge factor in how far a team will go - Kobe has a big head, Shaqs is even bigger - add in Payton and Malone and the team could explode, but they could also be amazing. I guess we will find out in the fall.
