KG+LA

Prepetual Motion, Communism, and the current KG to LA deal. They actually have quite a few things in common. They all have or have had pundits jumping up and down--but most importantly, they are all utopian.

Here's the deal. If KG were to come to LA, we'd likely have to give up Odom, Kwame, Andrew, or any combination of middle of the bench kind of guys. If we did this, we'd be royally screwed if a star went out, because we'd have no middle players. Taking the middle of a bench out is like serving toast and calling it a toasted cheese sandwich. The most important part is gone.

That's not to say the deal couldn't potentially work wonders, but the key word here, and I can't emphasize this enough, is potentially. And I am afraid that the potential for disaster is far greater than the potential for success.
