By adding Nash & much more importantly Howard, Lakers went from at best 12-1 (would have been a stupid bet with roster as it was but probably reflected odds of getting Howard at some point I'd say with no roster moves 20-1 or higher) to win the championship to 3-1. They addressed their biggest need in that they stunk last year outside of Kobe.Um, I'm not crowning the Lakers. I was responding to your post that implied winning a championship wasn't worth starting from scratch in three years.
My apologies if that wasn't what you were implying.
Pre Nash 12-1, post Nash 8-1, post Howard 3-1
