Jermaine O’Neal would be great for the LA Lakers because he is the key for the triangle offense Phil Jackson preaches about, with the addition of Derek Fisher and Kobe in the front court. Odom and O’Neal would be perfect for the posts. O’Neal is an all star caliber player who can demand a double team for most of the season and give Kobe a chance to create successful young players like Jordan Farmar, Andrew Bynum, Jarvis Crittenton, Luke Walton and build them into great role players of the future and they will develop much faster with all star caliber veterans to learn from.
Most people don’t like Kobe Bryant because of his playing style and image. When Kobe doesn’t pass the ball and scores 50 points, it’s considered selfish, but when he scores 20 points and has 8-10 assists people get upset because he isn’t scoring enough. This all has to do with false accusations of alleged rape that happened a few years ago in Colorado. Kobe is the most unstoppable player in the NBA and you can ask any player for the last 4 years, that it is a fact. They will all agree that Kobe Bryant is an A class player and without injury he will be a NBA first team offensive and defensive player for the next seven years of his career. With the addition of Jermaine O’Neal, it will give the Lakers more depth and a well balanced team to compete with. With fisher at one, Kobe at 2, Walton at 3, Odom at 4, and O’Neal at 5, the Lakers will be a 2nd round playoff team that will have the opportunity to compete with the best.

Honestly, landing O'Neal would make Kobe a little more happy but it will not bring him another ring. Saying good bye to Shaq was the worst mistake of his career and he will forever be cursed from winning another championship.

Agreed, it will be a long time for the Lakers to recover and regain prominence after voluntarily letting go one of the best centers of all-time.
