Jack, I love your analysis. They seem so evenly matched. I look for KOBE to have a huge series and make the difference. It wouldn't shock me to see LA win, though. I'm not sure how they get him.
Salary cap is a problem.
Maybe Mason, House, and draft picks would do it. Could be true. The latest is that Ming will not be in this year's draft. He's got all the tools, but hasn't played NBA caliber hoops yet. He may sign on as a backup to a good center on a good team where he'll play limited minutes.
