Don't get me wrong, I've been a Laker fan for a long time and am as much as fan as almost anyone, but looking at our team and the fact that the West has been stacking up, especially if a couple of the trade rumors go through, gonna be tough in the West.
Kobe will do his thing.
Odom will be more comfortable and perform like he did in the playoffs, well, the good part.
It all depends on what direction the Lakers take this summer. If they trade Odom for basically two rookies and cap space, they could take a step back while the young guys work hard to learn the system.
Banks will help defensively and he will produce on the offensive end of the floor. Kwame Brown may have found his niche, playing center for the Lakers. I can see him averaging 14 ppg, 9-10 rbg, and a few block shots. If Brian Cook could be more consistent, he can contribute double digit scoring with his shooting ability.
If Odom goes, it obviously needs to be for a big-time player like him, or else 29 defenders will surround kobe all game long while everyone else misses their open shots
they'll probably be around .500 (41 wins), maybe a few more wins. but they key is odom, we know kobe can score but he needs to give odom more touches. kobe will probably avg around 30ppg, but odom's #'s should be around 20/8/5 for them to be a good team.

Sure buddy, whatever helps you go through the day..
Odom just isn't as good as some people think.
He can't average 20 ppg in the NBA. First of all, he's not agressive. Second of all, he's inconsistant. He's a good player but nothing special. I wouldn't mind to see him traded.
How will Lakers do next season?
