Not even fair if the Lakers keep their core guys. I might as well not even watch the NBA next year then.

Sasha plays with so much heart, him and D'antoni are perfect for each other.
They both whine and !$+@!.

To be realistic, I wouldn't put TOO much faith in the Lakers repeating...
1) Bynum has shown that he isn't the great hype that the Lakers thought he was going to be. He's good, and he still has TONS of time to improve, but heis NOT ready.
2) Yeah it looks like Artest is going to the Lakers, Ariza gone, and LO probably back. Yes, this is an upgrade, but is it so significant that it makes them alock to win next year? I don't think so...
3) The Cavaliers got Shaq for a dude who just broke his leg, and a role player they never used. They got off pretty damn cheap. Now, I think it's safe tosay the Cavs will get Ariza. That's an upgrade of two players better than what they had. Add that to Big Z, Delonte/Mo, and Joe Smith. If AV comes back, Ilike the Cavs easy out of the East. Who knows about him though.
4) The wild-card in all of this are the Denver Nuggets. Chauncey Billups scares me with his commitment to winning. If they keep their core together (and thecore being Chauncey, Nene, Kenyon, Melo, and Birdman), I don't think it's going to be a cake-walk for them at ALL. The Lakers had to fight their tailsoff to beat the Nuggets in games 1 and 3. They're a scary team.
5) There's another wild-card, the San Antonio Spurs. They got a 20-point dude for a bag of chips. Bowen will probably be back. If they sign a good freeagent, they're an elite team again, just like that.
Yeah signing Artest is great, and it's an improvement, but there are other teams that are making better improvements, IMO.
