I think the Lakers would have ended up being significantly better than last year's team... until the organization showed it was willing to trade all the young guys for AD, at which point they all stopped caring about the team.
Watching the Raptors game tonight, I'm still not a fan of the Gasol trade. Gasol's been fine with the starters, and crap with the bench. Serge has always been great as starting C, crap with the bench. JV was the sort of center who could come in and clean up garbage around the basket and get you a bunch of points regardless of whether plays were being run for him or who he was on the court with. The bench really lacks that steady scoring and rebounding. FVV out doesn't help either, but to me this was still a totally unnecessary trade that hasn't improved this roster.
