It's easily the biggest question of the summer, even above "Will more than 3 all-stars stay on the US Olympic Squad?" Does Kobe walk or resign? Does Kobe force Phil out, or is Byron Scott going to NO a sign that Jax is staying? Does Malone stick around or retire? Does the unthinkable happen and Shaq get traded to Orlando, or does he sign an extension? Does he just stay with no promises? Does Fisher resign or does anyone honestly care? Payton? Well, that answer is pretty easy. What's the vote? Evan
A Wish for the Lakers: Shaquille O'Neal goes to the Magic; Bare Bryant goes to jail; Malone permanently dislocates his shoulder when he tries to hurt someone but misses; Phil Jackson finds a fishing hole that speaks Zen; and Gary Payton slinks home to the Sonics.
