Rushmore of all-time greats that have played in purple and gold, so many that it’s hard to count. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are the latest duo to lead the Lakers to a title, and they are the favorites to repeat and give the Lakers championship number 18 in the summer.However, when we discuss great Lakers teams, there are two superteams in recent years that would have gone straight to the top if they actually panned out, and that’s always fun to talk about.No, not Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, and Dwight Howard, although that sure seemed like a fun Lakers team on paper.Who are these two Lakers super teams that almost, but didn’t, happen?1. Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Dwight HowardThe third name on this list could really be a number of players, but Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom probably would’ve been shipped out, and who can forget how dominant Bynum was before his knee injuries?This trade would’ve given the Lakers arguably the best backcourt in the history of the NBA if it weren’t for David Stern blocking it, a move that to this day has been discussed and will be remembered forever.Paul was in his prime, and Kobe would’ve loved to have a pass-first player like CP3, and the Lakers would’ve ran away with at least two or three championships, but all hope was lost after it was blocked.Today marks 5 years since the NBA blocked the trade that would have sent CP3 to the Lakers what could have been… pic.twitter.com/MBCGqe9mJ0The Lakers traded for Dwight Howard later on, and the trio of Howard, Bryant, and Paul, assuming they still made that trade, would’ve been the best trio in NBA history, probably even until this day.They would’ve run through the Western Conference, Paul and Howard would have had their first NBA title, and Bryant would almost undoubtedly finish his career with at least seven rings.The trio was set to average 61 points a game, and with the depth, that team had nobody was going to stand a chance. Still, Stern blocked the trade, and a few years later Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and LeBron James teamed up in Miami. After that, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Steph Curry gathered with the Golden State Warriors, and the NBA has seen superteams galore since that day.
