With the aquiring of Pao Gasol, the Los Angeles Lakers look to me to be a serious contender now in the Western Conference. Though they may see some immediate success with the addition of Gasol, I think the true potential of the Lakers will be reached once Andrew Bynum returns. With Bynum, the Lakers will have two of the best big men in the conference as well as the best player in the NBA…chant with me now…KOBE! KOBE!
The Lakers are currently 2.5 games behind the Phoenix Suns for the lead in the Pacific Division and are 5th overall in the Western Conference. They have won 2 in a row and I would not be surprised to see them climb up to the third or fourth spot on the conference before the season ends.
Gasol will make his first appearance with the Lakers tomorrow night against the New Jersey Nets. Lakers fans should be pretty excited!
