Silly thread.
BULLSHIT, Pau led a much worse team to 27 wins last year.. This is a much more talented team than last years.. I don't believe its kobe's fault though... Byron Scott has not shown he is even as good as MIKE D ANTONI... And therefor The Lakers are in this situation.. How can a team with kobe , lin, boozer, young , and hill be this BAD... This team is talented enough to win 30-40 games. Scott sucks big time...

You can't put Varejao's 8 ppg and 8 rebs over either.
Can't even put Varejao over Shaq, who was still playing 23 minutes and giving you 12 ppg, 7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks on 57% TS.
Or Zydrunas for that matter, who was getting 13 and 8 and was a go-to post player..
Again, a very deep team.. Delonte might have also been better than Varejao (athletic two-way player with a 3-point shot, 12 ppg).
I would 100% legitimately take Varejao over any non LeBron player on those teams.
BTW these "extremely deep" teams with LeBron on the bench:
08-09:
On: +15.0
Off: -6.2
09-10:
On: +11.5
Off: -5.3

It's true, those teams weren't that deep but the starters played really well together and were much more productive than the bench. It wasn't just Lebron though.

In the East yes, but in this year's West .... man that's a tall order. Not sure if any player in NBA history could do it with this group.
Though I think Jeremy Lin isn't as bad as he's showing right now.
If Nick Young and Lin could increase their scoring into the 15 ppg range and Jordan improves their perimeter D considerably ... maybe. Still very tough.

Re: Would prime MJ get this Laker team into the post-season?
As GM? No.
In his prime form? '88 to '93 ... umm yea.
But honestly so could 2003, 2006 to 2008 Kobe.
