Can Kobe and Shaq RE-NEW their vows for another Championship?




Two days to the trading deadline.
One more big body needed for the Los Angeles Lakers to clinch this thing, according to Los Angeles Times columnst Bill Plaschke.
Why not Shaq?
Why not bring back a guy who is no longer disliked by Phil Jackson, no longer a threat to Kobe Bryant, and no longer an embarrassment to himself?
The Phoenix Suns are open to trading everyone with a pulse. The Lakers are looking to close the deal on a championship. As recently as a month ago, everyone was dying to get rid of Lamar Odom and . . .
OK, OK, I get it. This is not a deal you make now.
I wouldn't trade Odom now that he's finally looked in a mirror. I wouldn't bring the Big Combustion into the steadiest room in the league.
No Shaq now.
But don't say no Shaq never.
There's
a funny thing about the possibility of the Lakers one day allowing one of the most polarizing, powerful presences in franchise history to end his career here.
Not everyone on the Lakers is dismissing it.
