Hey Laker you might call yourself a true Lakers fan? I just don’t understand how you could choose Kobe over Shaq! Don’t get me wrong Kobe is an awesome player, but come on now without Shaq they are a sub 500 club. The Lakers have proven that they can win without Kobe. Look at my previous post for MY recipe for a 2005 Lakers championship.
I understand why Shaq is asking to be traded, he is pissed and rightly fully so. Management lied to him, he when out and recruited Payton and Malone and now Mitch Kupchak says that Kobe is there first priority. I hope not, but no one knows if Kobe will even be in the NBA next season.
What I do know is, what ever team picks up Shaq will be instant contenders, dam we can't afford to loose Shaq.
