We seemed to have a great starting lineup last season but they just didn't work together like the previous one. I think this is what will happen with the next season.

I think we'll be OK. Main problem last year was that too many people wanted the ball in their hands and Phil likes to 'let them work it out for themselves'. Whereas this year, Rudy T has already come out and said that Kobe is the man and that the offense and the team will be built around him.

Odom and Butler are still young and probably have alot of respect for what Kobe has done and what he can do. Vlade has seen first hand what Kobe can do since he's faced him so many times as a King. Only problem I foresee is GP. I think he's still living in the past somewhat and hasn't realized how much his game has deteriorated over the years.
