As the Lakers plan for the off season, Mitch Kupchak has already come out and said that he wants everyone back by virtue of this comment, "If we did nothing," Kupchak said, "and brought back the players that are our existing free agents, just by virtue of this team aging one more year and getting Trevor (Ariza) and Andrew back, I think we're right back in the hunt." Although that might be true, many Laker fans are looking for Mitch to make a big splash and bring in a Ron Artest or maybe Tayshaun Prince to add the grit many think the Lakers need. The soft tag has been a put on this team unfairly, and although I doubt the Lakers do anything, it is some thing where everyone has a suggestion. If the Lakers are so soft how did they eliminate the gritty Utah Jazz? What about the Spurs; how did they fall to the soft Lakers? Bottom line is this, had the referees called game two correctly, the series probably would have gone seven games, and the Lakers would not have laid an egg two games in a row.
