You forgot about Artest as well. That would be a fun thing to watch the Fakers self-destruct.
Melo to the Lakers?

As Jazz fans, we can only hope so.
Watching Melo and his pathetic defense arguing with Kobe for the ball and ruining Gasol's rhythm would be sweet. Get Bynum outta there! Dealing with Gasol down low is a lot more favorable to most teams than dealing with Bynum and Gasol.

I think getting Melo would definitely help them this year. That would suck for the rest of the NBA. As long as Phil J is coaching you can bet that he would try the hardest to make it work.
I think where it would start to hurt them and help others a little bit is after Phil Jackson retires. If Kobe's game starts dropping then I dont think Melo and Gasol are going to exactly dominate. They are good players but while Gasol is getting older too, Melo is not nearly the closer or the smart player that KObe is. And with an inferior coach and without Bynum to protect the basket they could be a defensive liability as well. They might still be pretty good but they wont be an automatic title contender.

I think it'd be better if the NBA only had 6 teams, like when the league started. We could just put all the good players on the biggest teams. Miami is off to a good start, Boston's been doing it for a while, and this trade could help too. We could put Dwight Howard in Chicago, Deron in Dallas, and Chris Paul in New York, and then we'll be set. That would make the league a lot more popular.
