Fisher to Lakers; Francis to Rockets

I know they can get no value for him, but he has to go. The last 3 years they've been a 7 seed two times and missed the playoffs the other year. Seattle and Portland are both going to be battling around the 8-10 seed in the near future. The Lakers will once again be a 6-8 seed next year with Kobe. They may as well deal him now because there going to accomplish nothing in the near future anyway and West begans to strengthen even more. They have Bynum and it's time to build something around him because he's the future. Plus, Im sick and tired of Kobe's mouth. He killed a dynasty, shoots 30 times a game, and wants to be traded anyway. He's to selfish to ever be on a winning team now that he's considered the best player in the league. Before Shaq was able to keep Kobe in line, but now Kobe is destroying the franchise.

He had a part in it as well.

I just don't buy the argument that Kobe singlehandedly convinced the Lakers to run Shaq out of town right after winning all those titles. It just doesn't make sense. I don't even really like Kobe that much, but I think he's a convenient scapegoat.

Just look at next year. You have Dallas, San Antonio, and Phoenix, then
4-Rockets
5-Utah

so that leaves Denver, Golden State, the Clippers, Blazers, New Orleans, and Seattle all in there battling with the Lakers. The Lakers can't decide whether to rebuild or win now and looking at the other western conference teams I think they should be thinking of the future.

Trust me if you were a Lakers fan then you would hate him. I'm sick and tired of listening to him cry all of the time. He complains that he needs help, but all I've heard the previous 3 years was how he was going to help the Lakers continue to win. The Lakers need to ship him off now if they care anything about winning for the next 10 years.

the Lakers will contend this year, they just need a veteran guy like Fisher to come in, cause they have had young point guards the last few years and no real leadership. Kobe is an excellent player, Odom is good, Bynum and Brown have upside potential but none of those guys are able to lead effectively by example and i think Derek Fisher will bring that element to the Lakers

Brown has no potential at all. He's TERRIBLE. I understand what you're saying, but there a long long long way away from competing at the Spurs level.
