Golden State scored its most lopsided victory of the year on Monday night, a 126-99 rout of the Lakers in front of a sell-out crowd of 20,024 at the Arena in Oakland.
In all fairness, Center Valde Divca and Brain Grant did not contribute much to this season and PF L.Odum is out with a damaged shoulder. In short, the Lakers gave up Shaq, a Center, and the replacements, three bigs, have been hurt: Two centers out and a mid-season injury to their PF.It's a tough season but the Lakers have a lottery pick in a deep draft that lacks a superstar.
They'll be back next year. -LA is a popular place to play and possiby a humbled Kobe will be a better teammate. Maybe Divac and Grant are too old to play next season - Divac has a disk problem and Grant his knees. Maybe Odum or Butler will be traded. Still they have some latitude to retool and come back next season with a better power line-up to help Kobe.
For thier pick, think PF. Maybe him.
