they will probably just waive/ametsy Mo otherwise I dont see any reason for picking billups when bledsoe need playing time to develop.

I stand by my statement of gordon will be a flop, an undersized SG who can shoot, he doesnt have good enough handles and smarts to play point.

Well no way in the world is Griffin better than Gasol yet.

More exciting? For sure. Better? Hell no.

Kobe obviously over whoever plays SG..

Bynum, for all his woes, is far better than Jordan. That's not even debatable yet.

But if you could add either Gasol or Griffin to your BB team right now who would you choose? Would take me a microsecond to decide. MAYBE Gasol is better right now, he certainly was at the start of last season but Griffin has been a very hard worker and a quick learner as well as an incredible athlete and a good guy with 100% upside and potential over Gasol who really was unimpressive in the second half of last season even though I would have rated him in the top 5 big men in the entire league at the start.

Bynum is clearly better than Jordan...when he isn't injured, when he isn't suspended, when he isn't ejected, when he isn't in foul trouble, when he isn't in a funk, yes for that 25% of the season he is a top five center, the other 75% of the time I would again rather have the still improving and super-athletic Jordan.

Both are in my opinion debatable. Want to win a game today I would go Gasol and Bynum. Want to win as many of 66 games this season as you can (and 82 for the the next season) then I would take Griffin and Jordan.

was, yes, still, debatable. Anyone seen a photo of how overweight he reported to camp? I heard he didn't cope the first few days

Griffin still needs to develop a mid range jumper and learn how to defend. Not to mention Gasol has crazy offensive post moves.

Griffin will get there eventually. But analysts saying he's top 10 (ESPN) are flat out wrong, placing him ahead of players like Carmelo and Stoudemire.

I think Gasol being lousy in the 2nd half of the season had a lot to do with the heavy load he had over the start of the season, and also the playoff runs and European Championships he played in.

Bynum should have a standout season this time, he's one of the two back to basket centres left in the league. They're a thing of the past now...

LOL have you seen of metta world peace at the american version of "dancing with the stars"? dam he was way overweight..

And Kobe is going thru personal problems of his own, his wife filed for divorce. So I wouldn't be surprised if he will call metta world peace "fat" like he did back then with Shaq.

Gasol is pretty darm good, but atm I'll take Blake anyday of the week cos hes got more drive and goes after every loose ball, plays with a lot more heart and intensity. That means more ticket and merchandise sales. And his stats are not that bad... 20 points 10 rebs for a rookie..

That's true.

Anyway I think the Lakers are still better and certainly more experienced than their neighbours. The Clippers just have an edge in the locker room right now, following their great acquisition AND Lakers loss of Odom.

There is a lot of talking going on but we shall not forget it's just a buzz.

The Lakers are proven champions but they'll definitely need to make a move if they're intended to go for a championship this season.

I would take blake even though he has no defensive capability but even boozer can defend right? he is a really good rebounder as he has proven on the college level but he need to develop a consistent jumper and a go-to post move which is pretty hard to do as even Howard hasn't been able to do so despite many seasons in the league.

At this point, I dont even care if howard goes, just hope we get brooke lopez + a couple of high lottery pick + salary cap relief. Lopez might be a guy even more suited for the magic offense basically designed to boost howard ppg stat. He's got a better touch and find the open man better, he dropped off his rebound last season but rebounding is mostly effort.

but bynum vs Jordan isnt even close, jordan have literally have zero offensive sense while bynum is a 2 end player when fit and could compete for top 5 Nba centers when fit. Jordan is athletic but he need to get better at grabbing rebound or just boxing out his guy. having paul in the team doesnt hurt as he can make guys like okafor and chandler able to score more than 10 per game.

Lopez is one of the worst rebounding centers in the league, it's hilarious.

He's just plain lazy.
