It's no coincidence - it's like a bad fraternity. Hopefully Mayo and Gasol make it good.vanjuliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00704968587867972713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-23627726416325596002008-08-20T13:54:00.000-05:002008-08-20T13:54:00.000-05:00Would you believe that Karl Monroe was a very unde...Would you believe that Karl Monroe was a very under-rated member of the Lakers on that team.

West was definately more in tune with team chemistry than biology. Wallace seems more interested in the biology (talent) of the player and will let the team's chemistry work itself out.Chip Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633190293643815540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-82891946107360680632008-08-20T09:09:00.000-05:002008-08-20T09:09:00.000-05:00So the pendulum swings . . .I think Jerry West cat...So the pendulum swings . . .<BR/><BR/>I think Jerry West catches too much heat, especially since he was the GM for the franchise's most successful period in history, Vancouver included.<BR/><BR/>Jerry's concept was focused on building chemistry by getting a group of guys together and playing as a team for several years. The talent on those teams wasn't that high, but they made up for it in cohesion and flat out hard work and hustle.<BR/><BR/>I think Wallace is on the same track with this group. I actually hope they don't do too much turnover for the next two years, so that cohesion can build. The exception, of course, being if we can trade for or sign a bona fide veteran star -- or at minimum, a playoff veteran role player with leadership skills and a lot of heart.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, I think we should stand pat and see what we have. If this franchise needs anything now, it's stability.Lee Eric Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601275953230146900noreply@blogger.com
