You guys are crazy. Payton isn't the player he once was and no one knows that better than Gary Payton. He just wants to make it back to "The Finals" and Shaq can get him there. This team is nothing like the '04 Lakers. That team was two superstars who hated eachother and two old guys who played in short stints. This is a deep team with veterans and a thist for a championship.
