Kobe would likely guard Westbrook since he wouldn't be carrying the offense.

Nobody; you funnel him towards the middle and dare him to try 25 tear-drop floaters/gm after Howard picks him up at 13 feet.
The teams that will be able to beat the Lakers are teams that are set up to defeat zone-defenses. The Spurs, for example, would scare the hell out of me. The Thunder could, but Westbrook would have to become a smarter offensive player. He could use his speed to break down the Laker's perimeter and force the bigs to crash on him, then look for a kick to Harden or Durant. The problem then becomes the length of Gasol and Artest; they could still contest most shots simply by taking a couple of strides. If the Lakers get Howard, they'll be a very solid defensive team, just not a great group of man-defenders. Even without Howard, Bynum is no slouch defensively when properly motivated. He put on an absolute shot-blocking clinic in one of those playoff games last year. He can do it if he wants, he just doesn't want to that often.

They still can't keep up with OKC.
Oh and they also have that big vagina from Spain on their team. |

Althought Gasol with Nash could be dope we've seen what Nash did with those bums on the Suns imagine what he could do with Bryant, Howard, and Gasol.
Lakers won. |

I'd be concerned that age will catch up with Nash.
It seems to suddenly just hit guys on the back ends of their careers.

Nash is good for one maybe two more years. Makes sense though as the Lakers are always in "win now" mode.

Nash can't make Pau any less soft on the boards.

No, he can't, but he can make him a much more effective offensive player. If Howard goes there, Pau is going to have a much easier time.
Laker fans have forgotten what great PG play looks like with Phil's triangle.
