The Lakers now with this move are older on paper then they were with that botched Malone, Payton and Co. experiment.
That experiment only failed because Malone spent a big part of the season injured--for the first time in his career. Even when he came back, he was at 60 percent, at best. Big Ben Wallace was able to out-body him, and that made all the difference. Lakers shoulda won the title that year. They opened the season like 20-2 or something--with the Big Four each averaging in the 20s. That was an All-Star team.
They could have played some teams 4 on 5.
