fuck kobe, the lakers wouldn't be a contender in the playoffs with shaq. Even though i hate shaq i have to give some respect to him.
What are you smoking? The Lakers go nowhere without either of those 2. I mean they might squeak into the playoffs, but they would get swept pretty easily. As for Shaq alone? Him playing only like 50-60 games during the season wouldn't help much. This year, they would've been a 25 win team without Kobe. Shaq missed like 20 games and really wasn't even healthy until the last month or so.
Steve, I actually like our role players, Fox, Horry, Fisher. I think Fox is a dick because there needs to be an enforcer on the team. He's our Bill Laimbeer or Charles Oakley. If Shaq tried being an enforcer, they would call him a bully, so Fox plays the role (too bad he got beat up by Christie in the preseason). Honestly, none of those guys would start on any other team. But I still like them, becuase they know their roles. Go camp out at the 3 point line and let Kobe drive and dish and shaq post up in the paint.
We'll see how far your Celtic pride gets you in the playoffs. You guys will never win a championship as long as you have Antoine Walker on that team.
