Go Lakers! They disposed of Minnesota in the first round, which makes 25 consecutive series victories for Phil, and 7 consecutive first-round exits for the Wolves. Bring on San Antonio.
As much as I can't stand him, I think that Karl Malone would be an excellent addition to the Lakers next year. They really lack a presence at the power forward spot. Samaki Walker never really panned out, and Horry is really a tall small forward playing out of position.
As long as Malone can accept being option #3, then I think he'd be a great fit for the Lakers. He couldn't wear his familiar #32, however, so maybe he'd bust out #12 in honor of his buddy Stockton. I don't want to get ahead of myself, since everything is just rumors right now...but wouldn't it be great if he broke the all-time scoring record in the purple and gold? Wilt scored his final points as a Laker, as did Kareem. Is the Mailman next on the list?
