Best in the West

Re: Best in the West

When Ariza, Bynum and Mihm return they are the deepest without a doubt in my mind.

They are the deepest in terms of size, but I still like Dallas' depth of talent. They've got Terry and Stackhouse coming off of the bench. That's some serious quality when it comes to depth. Especially compared to life time roleplayers like Ariza and Mihm.

I hope that the Lakers are the best team in the West, but I have to see how they play defense, and we have to see whether or not Bynum actually returns. It's his knee, and he's young, so I wouldn't be surprised if they shut him down for the season, or brought him along very very slowly.

Spurs, until they get beat in the playoffs they will remain the best.

Re: Best in the West

I thought I posted this earlier, but I guess I did not.

Thought this is a good place to post this since the thread is about the west.

I read this over at ESPN, I'll paste it here.



"The Lakers seems to have always been blessed by the basketball gods.

SOME EXAMPLES:

1. Signs disgruntled Jabbar from Bucks -- sets stage for next 20+ years.
2. With coin toss, they get #1 pick and get Magic.
3. Winning Championships, then get #1 pick and get Worthy.
4. Signs disgruntled Shaq in his prime/signs Kobe out of h.s.
5. Roster is fully loaded -- just waiting for direction. Phil Jackson comes on board = three peat.
6. Rumors of Kobe/Bynum/Odom trades. None happens but gets Pau without giving up any key roster spots.

Great organizations make their "blessings".

1. Had the players/pieces to make the trade for Kareem.
2. Had the smarts to pick Magic. Many wanted them to pick Sidney Moncrief.
3. Traded aging Gail Goodrich to Jazz for #1 pick 4 years into the future (turns out to be Worthy)
4. Trades Vlade Divac (established NBA Center) for High School Player
5. Willing to pay big money for Phil.
6. Smart to stick with Bynum even though Kobe wanted a 35 yr old point guard and pouted when he didn't get it."


I thought it was interesting.

Re: Best in the West

Lakers destroying the Timb's right now (as if they wouldn't).



Gasol is a god send for this Lake show squad.

Re: Best in the West

Spurs are the best in the west imo

but Dallas certainly is loaded
PG - Kidd, Terry
SG - Terry, E.Jones, Stack
SF - Jo.Howard, Stack, George
PF - Dirk, Bass, M.Allen
C - Dampier, M. Allen, Dirk, Bass

thats a lineup

Spurs are one thing, and it is not best, oldest comes to mind.

Watch what the lake show does this second half vs, your "uber lineup" Lets compare em' as you will.

It ought to be fun!

Re: Best in the West

BTW Lake show got 36 votes to date, your squad? 2, Kidd was there before, too little too late.
