NBA Power Rankings: Will The Real Cleveland Cavaliers Please Stand Up

Even though, statistically, the Lakers are better when Kobe Bryant is not playing, the team will still have a better chance to lose with him out over the long haul. Now, they can even finally begin to officially blow up their team – maybe trade Jeremy Lin and/or Jordan Hill for picks in this year’s draft or future compensation. Maybe even a project player?
If you thought that watching the Lakers was cringe-worthy this season, just wait until Kobe officially exits stage left for the rest of the year.
