What do you think of the way the Lakers are developing?

They just served the Jazz a plate of humiliation and have beat elite teams. They also have really good talent and a great coach. Now the final test is to see if they can beat the Celtics December 30. LAKERS 4 LIFE!

It's really amazing honestly. To see the team we saw last year basically almost get swept by the Suns and limp into the playoffs to being an elite team with the addition of D-Fish. D-Fish has really helped the Lakers out. It gives Kobe and Phil another veteran to trust at the end of the game. Rather it being Kobe not able to take the final shot and someone else needing to make a play, or making clutch free throws to seal the game. Bynum has obviously made a leap and a great improvement in his game along with Jordan Farmar. The Lakers are one of the deepest teams in the L which is sort of funny to say, but is true. If by Bynum continues to get better and learns to finish those offensive rebounds he seems to miss at times, and those great post moves, don't be surprised if the Lakers win a title before 2010 gets here.

Looks like Kobe will be winning an MVP trophy in his career.
kobes probably really happy they didnt trade bynum for kidd. IMO, bynum is the real reason why LA is this good, not kobe. bynum has made a monumental leap from last year to this year. last year he never had a jumper, now he does and its a good one. he is asserting himself and being more dominant, blocking shots and rebounding. as long as he continues to work hard and train with kareem, he will be something special and LA will continue to succeed.
Kobe would be hating this, the lakers are playing good but he isn't averaging 35 points a game, that is bad news for a ballhog!
The Lakers are in the middle of a rebuilding stage. This season, Los Angeles has shown improvement, and promising athletes in Andrew Bynum and Jordan Farmar. I also believe the recent trade for Trevor Ariza was good. The Lakers also have a good coach and supporting staff in Tex Winter and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Unfortunately, this Los Angeles franchise has not created a team identity, doing whatever it takes to pull a victory. The team chemistry seems to be good, although I'm sure the Kobe trade rumors have been negative to the team focus. In the next few seasons, the Lakers must develop a consistent plan that is mutual to every man on the roster.

I know Phil Jackson bases his coaching on certain principles such as trust, bench involvement, and teamwork. With time working against this franchise, Los Angeles is pressured to develop as a team at a demanding pace.
Let's keep in mind the main reason the Lakers are decent is because of Bynum. Bynum did the exact same thing last year and fell apart during the second half of the season. Don't think this year will be any different.
they can win a few games, but in a playoff series

they will get slaughter, like last year

sorry kobe better luck next year
They all look like a real team this year.
No matter how lakers developing but still they will not pass to 2nd round playoff IF they can get into playoff.
