L.A. Lakers
I expect a motivated Kobe Bryant. Personally, I know you realize how close you are to the end of your career. With the talk of retirement looming, I expect Kobe to turn it on with him knowing he only has two or three seasons remaining. I expect them to be the best rebounding team in the NBA as well. With Steve Nash getting in the lane and dishing to Dwight Howard, that will really open things up for Pau Gasol as well. But just like I said with the Miami Heat last year, I just haven’t seen a team put it all together in one year. I think they’re going to need more than one year to win a championship.
