Couldn't even tell ya', Brent, since I barely know jack about those 3 clowns we're getting in return...

I'm sure Payton will come back to life just a little, but Fox very well may wind up retiring before he gets there. That's been the word on the street for the past couple months out here anyway...
It is rather odd that we decided we have no need for a decent point guard on our team, after ditching both of ours. My guess, Kobe's basically gonna run the point, since he prefers to have the ball in his hands as much as possible anyway.

Indeed, it is a totally different team now. All the mainstays from the Championships are now gone - Shaq, Fox, Fisher, Horry... Deavon George is really the only one who's left now, aside from Kobe. I highly doubt Malone's resigns with us at this point. He wants the Championship, and we're not exactly top contenders for that anymore, in most people's eyes. Gonna be pretty bizarre watching this group on the floor next year.
Really bizarre actually...
But my sleeper pick for Most Improved player next season is gonna be Luke Walton. That guy's awesome. So it's gonna be the Kobe and Luke show...
