bmags Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) One thing I'll say, is that just seems to be a really strange core for the lakers. It might take a bit for that group to mesh. I can't decide if you'd see Howard flourish offensively with Nash or go Garnett and relish the opportunity to just focus on defense and defer offensively. But jesus, Howard and Gasol? who can compete with the two best 7 footers in the league...AND the best pure PG offensively... And Kobe. edit: apparently howard is only 6'11.

I find it funny that people argue that today's era is so much better athletically (which makes the defense better) than the past, but Steve Nash is still so good. I think it's saying something that the best offensive PG in the league is some 38 year old white guy. But we're in a golden era for PGs!1!!!1 ZOMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 This superteams trend sucks for the NBA and their fans, pretty soon they'll be 4 or 5 really stacked teams and a bunch of overmatched teams. So much for parity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Nash/Kobe/MWP/Gasol/Howard would be sick! Hopefully they win the next 2 championships then old age hits them and its the Bulls turn to win a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobe, Howard, Gasol and Nash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more than a role player IMO. He's gonna get a ton of open looks and he scares me way more than Chalmers, Battier or Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen will be gone in a year or 2, Nash and maybe even Kobe will be gone in a year or 2, and I dont see OKC being able to keep both Harden and Ibaka.

I won't rely on him to be healthy unless he hires the phoenix medical staff and becomes vegan like nash and dudley. I didn't say Allen isn't good, but he's not premier anymore.
