Nickster asked in SportsBasketball · 1 decade ago

Laker fans given the choice- would you rather?

Choice 1: Have a guaranteed 8 wins in a row- be in the finals- to face the Celtics with a chance at a 3-peat but the current roster must stay unchanged next season with no Phil Jackson? (No guarantee that we win- but just a chance to take on the Celtics for a 3 peat and a chance to tie them for most championships in the NBA).

Choice 2: Be swept by the Mavericks but have Dwight Howard next year and an "improved bench?"

**This was a question that was asked on 710 ESPN tonight- i actually called in and was on the air-- so thought i'd throw it out to he yahoo community...

    Lakers should lose to Dallas

    I wanted Lakers vs Celtic of course.....but looks like it'd we Dallas vs Bulls or Heat or Celtics

    Ya, I'd go with option one. The chance for a title right now would be worth it. This year has been such a gong show for LA it would be priceless to see them in the finals. This option also implies that the Celtics come back to beat Miami which would be almost as nice as Kobe winning another title. The tough thing is with Dwight in LA, we could move Bynum for a nice outside shooter off the bench and even a decent PG. I love Fish but the guy's not a kid anymore! Tough call. Good question.

    I'm not a Lakers fan, but deffintly option one. You have to do whatever it takes to win titles, and I think if the Lakers met the Celtics again in the finals this yr, Lakers would win.

    As far as the roster next yr, Fisher needs to retire. They need to get rid of artest and Steve Blake, & pick up a fresh point guard, a center and some good bench players
