On the one hand, you can't add a player of his caliber and not expect to be better. On the other, how hungry will this team be during the regular season and how will he fit in on what they do offensively. Also, what happens when the inevitable injury/meltdown occurs? Obviously, the Lakers are the team to beat. And they are going to show up against the other top teams. But might they mail it in a bit in the "dog days" and just kind of coast until the playoffs get here? We will see.
