Well, lets see, I think 4 or at top 5. Some people don't think Kobe can reach the promise land without shaq type help but i think he has some players that have great promise in the laker organazation right now. Bynum and Jordan Farmar will only get better. As long as Kobe doesn't demand a trade every summer and actually plays for the lakers for his career like he says when he is content, i don't see why my prediction would be that far off. They are having a pretty good season with Kwame being out and the Ariza trade was actually a decent one. Cook added too many big men to the acquation. Magic had 5 rings and of course Jordan had six and i see Kobe's career to be close to as good as there's. Kobe can't match Jordan of course unless Phil brings in another good player that clicks with the team and takes them to new heights. I think for the Lakers to reach that other level they are need of a POINT GUARD. The likes of Jason Kidd or Mike Bibby would put them as Western Conference challengers EVERY year. I don't hink bynum needs to be traded to do this. They need a veteran point guard that can create or score. Derek Fisher and Jordan Farmar are very DECENT nba players but theyneed JK or

With all you said Jason Kidd would make it happen. Bynum is going to be a force in the league for years to come. Odom is a complementary player like Pippen but not nearly as good. We all know that. Odom is good though. Kobe is only 30 years old and like you said the best player since Jordan. Kobe is the best offensive player in the league and i don't see that changing for a long while. Believe it or not but over the years the Spurs and Tim Duncan will get a little older and vunerable. The whole west might except for phoenix but they have beaten them twice this year an have played them good in the playoffs with their sub par teams excluding Kobe. Kobe wasn't riding shaq like a wave in all three titles. Shaq rode his back too! Kobe needs one more superstar or above average talent teamate to make the Lakers a western powerhouse. Kobe can go off and take the whole team on his back. Back to what i was talking about, Jason Kidd without trading Bynum would be wonderful and would set up the West with Nash vs the Veteran Kidd with the best scorer in the league. Kobe just NEEDs one more player. Buss is not as bad as publicized. The Lakers can pull one out in a couple of years or less with t
