Without Longley, the Bulls would be no different, Kerr was like Paxson, which who was like a lesser version of Fischer, they can shoot the 3's, but most of the time, they're just wadling somewhere. Though I agree Jordan wouldn't have won without Rodman, and MAYBE Pippen, what about in 1991, they beat the Lakers 4-1, they had no Rodman, Pippen was just a guy who helped Jordan, though he didn't need it.

The reason why Jordan sucks now is because he's not at his prime anymore. He was away from the game for 3 YEARS, thats more than enough to take a toll on your skills, look at me now. Jordan at his prime can carry(and did) a sorry ass team and turn them into tanks, he wouldn't done that with the Wizards if he didn't retire. That's something Kibe can't do, but Kobe is still learning, he's still young(turning 25).

I expect the Lakers to get a better power forward, since Horry doesn't play that position well. Karl Malone is a most likely. There are even rumors that Horry might move back to Houston, I wouldn't be surprised. And Shaq doesn't seem like Shaq, he doesn't seem to have interet in the game anymore, he got out played by a smaller Duncan. Rick Fox doesn't seem to be doing anything.... they really needed him in the series, but it wouldnt of helped much. Fischer might get traded, Shaw might retire... etc...
