In the end, if you win by 1 or win by 20 it counts the same. At the end of the season they don’t look at how you won games in November or December, they just remember that you won. For now, I would chalk it up to missing Pau and Artest getting acclimated, although we would have definately lost the last two games without Artest’s meaningful contributions.

I dont expect anything, I think Lebron to the lakers is a pipe dream. However, faced with the option of Lebron walking and getting nothing out of him OR sign and trade, I think the Lakers offer a relatively solid package. Naturally you can never replace a player like LeBron but as smith says in the article, it is a good core that would be going to Cleveland. Anyway, it’s a moot point because I dont think it’s going to happen. But like I said, it’s nice to dream. Separately, how about all these close wins? A bit disconcerting. For now…chalk it up to getting the chemistry right with an out of practice Bynum, a new Artest, and missing Pau. 20 games from now though, if we’re pulling the same thing, i’m going to be more concerned. No?

Now don’t get me wrong, the Pau trade was great. But we didn’t exactly give a bag of peanuts for the guy. Memphis got everything they wanted in the trade. Young talent (Crittenton and Marc Gasol, who may be even better than Pau one day), future assests (two first round picks) and of course the big expiring contract (Kwame). Compare that to the mix bag that the Spurs were able to send for Richard Jefferson (I mean none of the players traded are still on the Bucks roster), in which they did not even have to send any draft picks. Time will tell what the future of LeBron is going to be. You can dream, but I wouldn’t expect anything…

May be unrealistic, but lakers fans can always dream…I once had a dream that the Lakers traded a bag of chips for Pau Gasol [when he was on the grizzlies]…
