    World Peace and Bynum. Paus was 4

    I started working up a good Zach Lowesque reply to prove you wrong, but you don't actually believe that.

    As a #5. Not as a #1 which was your point originally.

    I win

    To win titles, you need a lot of great players surrounding you. Pau was clearly a huge factor on the success of those Lakers teams.

    It will be very interesting to see where the NBA consolidates over the next 1-2 weeks. I can see a world where some of the teams we've looked at being highly successful in the past 5-10 years are on the outside looking in.

    It would not shock me to see the Lakers in a very good place within a week.

    I never said he was a #1 on a title team. I said he didn't win as a #1 (in Memphis) but did win (twice) as a #2 (in LA).

    You looose.

    There is no way for the Spurs to give Aldridge the max unless they can find someone to take Splitter. They also can't re-sign Green if they get Aldridge. They could also get rid of Diaw, but I honestly think that would be a bad move. Aldridge is a much better player, but Diaw is a perfect Spurs player.

    The problem with pairing Aldridge and Duncan is that they will eventually run into a team that goes small (Golden State) and they won't be able to guard an undersized 4 on the perimeter. I don't think it's an ideal pairing.

    The Spurs real problem last year was Tony Parker. Two years ago he was a top 10-15 player in the NBA. He sucked last year in the playoffs. If the decline was temporary and related to injuries, they will be back and can win a title. If the decline is permanent, it's all over.

    He wasn't a #2. Aldridge will never win a title. Ever. As a 1 2 3 4 or 5.

    I clearly won. It's over. Pop the cork

    Disagree about the Lakers. They will get someone and be better, but still not close to being able to beat Golden State or OKC (if Durant is healthy).
