Did yall hear Cari Champion trying to argue for Kobe and the Lakers. Implying they just need one more max player and they'll win the championship in the next 2 years. She's embarassing.:bryan:

Yeah I hate biased sports fans. Shoot them all. I'm a Lebron Stan but when he sucks I'll say he sucks.

shes a die hard Laker fan....not surprised at all
Yep, but you can tell she has no idea what's going on. I know Lakers stans who at the very least uneasy of them winning a 'ship with Mike D as coach. Don't know that host on Fox Sports name (tall blonde chick) but at least she sounds like she understands the various games by the questions she ask. Not saying she's an expert but this chick was doing tennis when they hired her.

Kobe won 5 rings with only one other max player beside him (Shaq then Gasol).

All the Lakers need to be title contenders again is Melo at the max, Gasol at 9-10 million, and a decent 5-6 million dollar player like Kyle Lowry. They have enough cap for that. Plug in a Nick Young at the 3 and a rookie off the bench and that becomes a nice squad.

That's nice but unless you get rid of:

then you're not winning a championship. I know die-hard Lakers fans who can't realistically argue they can. Kobe won 5 rings with the GOAT coach.

And Melo nice from an offensive stand point. But what about the defense?
