Laker fans are happy with being non-contenders as long they can keep bitching about getting shit on by Shaq. That's what I don't get - why are Laker fans upset? This is what they all wanted - they all hate Shaq, well he's gone. So be happy w/ your team you asked for it.
Shaq was out of control - he had to go. That doesn't mean we wanted a D-League roster.
i'm pissed that my Favorite , boy hood team is looking like shit because ownership and managment believe in the wrong players.

You're not saying shit....again...1.why did shaq shit on dr.buss?...was shaq right for doing that?2.why did shaq ask for an extension when ...A)It was time for Kobe to get his money...B) a year after he cost us a 4th straight championship by having his toe surgery during "Company time" (shaqs words, not mine) ..shaq was under contract.HE SHOULD OF SHUT THE FUCK UP...3.why didn't shaq take a pay-cut to help HIS TEAM...IT WAS HIS TEAM RIGHT..THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE SAYS ....why didn't he take a pay-cut to keep the guy that helped him get all those rings and MVP's?4.how come he didn't sacrificed his game for kobe and the team like kobe did all those years?5.how come shaq didn't allow kobe to win the scoring tittle & MVP in 02-03?...(shaq started complaining about the offense when it loked like kobe was going to get the MVP & Scoring tittle)Quotei'm pissed that my Favorite , boy hood team is looking like shit because ownership and managment believe in the wrong players. you're a shaq fan..you don't even fallow the lakers any more...all you do is blame everything on kobe....can you breakdown this team and players and tell us their weaknesses and strengths?
1. Quotei'm pissed that my Favorite , boy hood team is looking like shit because ownership and managment believe in the wrong players. 2. a. how do two teams trade away both of their leaders , but one only trades the one player and the other trades 3 CORE players , but the team fairs FAR better with the one "out of shape bad attitude" player. who also helps lead the team to the conference finals (Finals if not for injury) and is a few votes away from the mvp.....while the OTHER team with the three players FAILS to makethe playoffs, ect. ect. ect. ect. in the next seasonb. season two. how does the team with the 'out of shape/bad attitude" player win the NBA championship with a retirement home roster and the other team gets embarrased out of the playoffs. c. season three. how does the team with the 'out of shape/bad attitude/and now very OLD player lead his team BACK into the playoffs after the best player on the team goes down for potentially the whole season. how does that same team go on a winning spree with this 'detramental' player , then starts losing when that other player comes back from injury to 'lead' the team. okay ,then the other team goes on a late season skid once injuries start to wayne and are reduced to a sideshow and once again get embarrassed out of the playoffs with the "CHOSEN ONE" at the helm. 3. Quotei'm pissed that my Favorite , boy hood team are looking like shit because ownership and managment believe in the wrong players. [/b]4. let's go back to that season when shaq demanded to get paid. and kobe threatened to leave. i'm jerry buss. YOU TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR TEAM!!! you manage your team , they don't manage you. and with that said you WIN with shaq , you don't WIN with kobe.5. Quotei'm pissed that my Favorite , boy hood team is looking like shit because ownership and managment believe in the wrong players. [/b][/u]6. so paying shaq would strap us? i say SO WHAT if that means CHAMPIOINSHIP(S)!!!! we are NOT going to win a championship with kobe.....it's not happening! shaq went to Miami and won a championship for them......that's a LAKER trophy right there. how do you let an asset go like that . ---------------> $$$ and you know what pisses me off even more, the heat potentiallly could have won 2 championships . that's TWO LAKER CHAMPIONSHIPS that never will be because Laker Managment couldn't take control of the situation. i think we could have Paid sahq what WE wanted to and kept Kobe in town, if Managment had balls and took control of the organization more. if shaq is so childish you get the fool in check ! you don't trade him and a Championship away! if kobe threatens to leave you make the situation right for him in the LOOOOOOONG RUN not the Short RUn like we did.6 Quotei'm pissed that my Favorite , boy hood team is looking like shit because ownership and managment believe in the wrong players. [/b][/u]
4. why should shaq have to do that!? it was his team, he was still the most dominant player on the floor. he wasn't declining yet. like i said in another post, kobe would have eventually had his shine but he kept nagging for it too soon. that's bull shit. that's like a 21 year old son telling his dad hurry up and die so i can take over the family business. No bitch you get the business gradually when i can't lead it no more.....same with kobe, he should have known his role and shut HIS mouth til it was time. just because kobe was physically able to score fucking 2390482390483408523490859023450-285 points he wasn't then and he still isn't now, mentally able to lead a team. again that's why i'm pissed. dr. buss didn't see the whole picture here.5. lol maybe because they wern't winning games dufis !!! der der der. i know what you're talking about and i know for a fact that the lakers were in a slump right when shaq made those comments. ----> lakers live -james worhty " the big fella is just angry with the way the team barely winning and not winning games right now" and how did they turn that around??? they started pounding the ball into shaq more ....ta da!!!!

YOU manage your players you don't let your players manage you. 2. shaq didn't cost us a championship let's get that straight. the lakers were unable to run any kind of outside offense, we had nobody at the four spot (karl malone was injured) nobody at the three (george was injured and fox was in la la land) and we couldn't get any real production out of gary payton. we were forcing it to kobe and shaq and you can't do that to your superstars. also i have no idea what kind of gameplan we were running either , it looked like the same one we were using against the timberwolves ....so that can't all be blamed on shaq.....and i dont' see the big deal about getting a chronic injury fixed especially when you have three hall of famers in the line up who can take you into the playoffs. now if this was kobe doing this THIS year , i'd see your point but this EXCUSE is invalid especially if you're trying to build up kobe here. but i'd rather have my machine functioning come playoff time than have it limping through it. 3. why didn't kobe take a paycut to play with the player who won him all those championships and acclaim. afterall kobe would never be in a position to win those if he didn't have shaq on his team. he wasn't going to win one in charlotte i'll tell you that damn much. but we're not talking about kobe so i'll leave that one alone. yes shaq could have taken a pay cut, and i blame buss an mitch for not helping him realize that. but shaq knew to get his money while he still could and if he couldn't he'd go win somewhere else....and shit quite frankly that's what he did. again with a player that valuable and the worthy of such $$$ you have to be able to negotiate and enlighten him to do stuff like that, he's not carlos boozer or amare stoudimire, he's a historic player. you got to be smarter than him. PUT me on the lakers' staff and i bet you i could've kept both kobe and shaq and paid them handsomely without strapping the organization.

fuck tha bullshit, it is obvious, that the whole situation with shaq and kobe was kobe being selfish and wanting to be the highlight.... the lakers chose him becuase he is younger...
