Los Angeles Lakers
Kobe Bryant lately turned 31 (Aug. 23), although he's just "ripe for the choosing". His team ended the 2008-09 year in otherworldly fashion.
The Lakers are recently off signing Ron Artest and re-signing Lamar Odom. Andrew Bynum and the Lakers agreed to a lucrative $58 million agreement during the 2008 year and, if he can stay in good condition, can possibly emerge as a "consistent" high impact factor in the paint (both on offense and defense).
And if this were not enough for Kobe, he's additionally got Pau Gasol and one of the best coaches in NBA history.
Orlando Magic
They are well-rounded, notably at the frontcourt position. With the acquisitions of Vince Carter as well as Ryan Anderson (through the Courtney Lee/Rafer Alston/Tony Battie trade), the selection of (Jason) Williams (for point guard depth), Brandon Bass, and Matt Barnes, the contract extension of Marcin Gortat, and the presence of Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis, Jameer Nelson, and Mickael Pietrus, the Magic are looking quite more like the wicked villain they ended up as in the Eastern Conference Championship.
Only this time, they are shooting for a championship. Howard even forced himself and Nelson to sit in on the Lakers' celebrations, in an effort to prevent experiencing a similar type of disappointment.
San Antonio Spurs
They drafted up yet an extra under-the-radar player in this season's draft, passed up by other teams because of an injury he sustained during high school.
I'm talking, of course, about DeJuan Blair. You know, the guy who flipped Hasheem Thabeet, this season's number 2 choice (overall), as if he was a Raggedy Ann doll.
So, with the enhancements of Richard Jefferson and veterans Antonio McDyess and Theo Ratliff, the Spurs are looking even additionally frightening from the perimeter, and less exposed in the paint (when Duncan needs to sit; whether for rest or to avoid possible injury).
Call 'em elderly, call them uninteresting, even Eva Longoria-Parker is a lover of the team. After all, might you essentially be mistaken with a franchise filled entire of battle-tested experienced players?
