    The Lakers in 07-08 and presently

    You got to admit Paul Gasol is a great player no doubt, but Do you guys think The Lakers still could have went to the Finals without him?

    In the 2007-2008 Season I Remember Lakers still having one of the best records out West. Now before Pau Gasol came into the picture, The Lakers still were proving to the leauge that they were in pursuit of a championship. Kobe also complained that year about the team not being so great, but he still carried the load before Pau Gasol was traded. I defiantly think they would have had at least went to the Western Conference Fianls that year, without Pau Gasol.Don't know if they would have gone any further, of course.

    No way they make the Finals either year without Pau. That was one of the best trades in history.

      They wouldn't have made it past the Spurs without Gasol and Bynum, imo. Remember Ariza was also hurt during most of the playoffs, so Lakers would have been short handed.

          Forgot about that. In that case, we wouldn't have got past the 2nd round.

            If Bynum was healthy, yes. If he wasn't, no.

              No chance at all. They wouldn't have got past the second round and probably the first round given thier record would have been different and they would have had to play somebody instead of the Nuggets. They only two teams I could possibly see them beating last year without Gasol is the Nuggets and the Mavs.

                Gasol is the Lakers' key player. No Gasol = no chances at all.

                          This year they would have had one of Jamison, Baron, or Brand since they would have had money instead of Pau. With a healthy one of that bunch, they're easily title contenders.

                            no way.
                            EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                              YES, with a healthy Bynum. and by yes, i mean... maybe.

                              Remember, before Bynum went down, the Lakers had the best record in the league (or just the west, 2nd to Boston right). So I say they still make the finals WITH a healthy bynum.
