Personally, the best team on paper in my opinion the last 10 years were the '98 Lakers. I don't see the Kings having 4 players making the all-star team next season, Webber, Peja, maybe Bibby but 15 points and 5 assist like he avg. last year won't get it done. The Lakers had Kobe, Shaq, Eddie Jones and NVE, also Elden Campbell who is probably one the top 10-15 big men in the East, Derek Fisher coming off the bench and a decent player like Jon Barry who gets about 10 with the Pistons. They just didn't have a coach, if Phil Jackson coached that team they would probably be on their 5th Championship. I think the Kings are on par with the 2000 Blazers, and we know what happened to them.
