Lakers are 2 to 1 odds in Vegas to win it all again WITH OR WITHOUT ODOM! I don't see how you can put them any lower than a 2 seed, much less putting them the 4 seed. Gasol + Kobe are the main cogs for their success, Odom is an important third piece that puts them over every other team in the NBA talentwise. But even without Odom, they're still one of the most talented teams and still are contenders.

I think Artest ruining the Lakers chemistry is something we can all HOPE for, but can't guarentee.
