Mark Cuban questioned whether Dwight Howard and Steve Nash will fit with the Lakers.

“The Lakers have done this before,” Cuban said. “Remember Gary Payton, Karl Malone and Kobe and Shaq were all together, and it didn’t work.

“It takes great chemistry, like coach (Rick Carlisle) alluded to, it takes guys wanting to be there — I don’t know if all their guys want to be there — it’s going to be interesting.”

Cuban referenced the Mavericks’ championship run in 2011.

“Look, (the Lakers are) going to be a great team, but I remember when we made our run,” Cuban said. “We weren’t supposed to win any series. The Lakers were defending champs when we swept them, and they had everybody back. A lot of teams do a great job winning the summer, but I never get so antsy about what happens over the summer.”

Nash/Howard >>>>> washed up Payton and Malone

Not saying he doesn't have a point about chemistry issues, but using that as an example is stupid

That Payton/Malone Lakers team did make it to the Finals though.

and that team should have won but... we did :D

sure this team has chemistry issues and will for a few weeks but theyll work it out. nash made them so much better, getting dwight and some of the other depth they got made them even better. dwight may hurt them some when he finally gets on the court but im sure theyll be just fine.

Nash is a distributor. Howard and Kobe should be getting a lot of touches. Plus Gary Payton was more of a scoring point guard compared to Steve Nash.
