Well I dont suscribe to ESPN insider i was just comin up with my own theories. T-Mac want out of Orlando and Shaq wants outta LA i dont see why a trade couldnt happen. T-Mac and their #1 pick for Shaq. I don't see why it couldnt happen.

Explain to me why the Lakers would want McGrady if they already have Kobe??? Can you imagine have two shooting guards wanting to shoot 30 times a night each? The Lakers will need a big man, not another Kobe.

Did Jackson leave because of the baby fight between O'neil and Bryant?

Well here is my theory on the TMAC deal it looks like he is going to houston any way but he would be the swing man instead of being the 2 guard like he was in Toronto with Vince Carter. Next year there are some good free agent big men with the cream of the crop being Yao Ming, the Lakers have resources that not many teams do they are like the Yankees just they have to deal with the salary cap and the way to do that is big big signing bonuses.

Jackson left because the Lakers never offered him a contract extension. The Lakers are looking to do whatever is necessary to make Kobe happy. Rumor has it TMac and Shaq are both gonna end up in Dallas.

According to Sportscenter this morning T-Mac is practically a Rocket. The trade is probably goin to happen after the draft.

The Lakers aren't falling apart just yet ham. They still have Shaq and Payton. Also, Kobe will be back. Shaq could get dealt. But if it's to Dallas, they've said they want Nowitzki and he'd be huge with the Lakers. So don't say they've feel apart yet.

If kobe goes to jail they'll be in trouble, and by losing shaq they ARE falling apart. He was the only player who had a good finals and the Pistons still absolutely demolished them. Take Shaq away and the lakers are like a plane without any mechanical instruments, broken rudder, punctured fuel tank, and a wing with 50 bullet holes in it.....I think you get my point.
