@DwightHoward

Howard #NBARank-ing ahead of Kobe should put to rest any doubt over "whose team it is" in LA. (Still Jerry Buss, I think).

@paugasol

A season of running P&R sets with @stevenash will make @paugasol climb higher than #15 on next year's #NBARank

@SteveNash

For his flaws (age, defense), still not sure there's a better pure-shooting PG in the league than Steve Nash. #nbarank

@nbaonespn if Antawn Jamison helps the Lakers not have the worst bench in the league his ranking will be one half this number in a year!

@SteveBlake5

Who would have ever thought that Steve Blake, who some will argue is too high at 239, would be ranked above T-Mac #nbarank @nbaonespn

#NBARank @nbaonespn Devin Ebanks started for the Lakers opening day last year, now he'll be lucky to even see the court.

Remember, there's someone out there who thinks Earl Clark (351) and Chris Duhon (358) are the keys to the Dwight trade for the Lakers.

@nbaonespn: #NBArank 358: Chris Duhon...I thought I clicked on the page for recently retired NBA players when I saw his name on the list.
