My comment on the status of the Lakers
Hack Wilson - real:
lol @ NIK trying to deflect how poorly Pau was treated
it went from "LAKERS ARE GETTING ALDRIDGE AND GASOL" to "ROY HIBBERT IS THE BEST CENTER IN THE WORLD" ;D

sounds like some fanmade media bs...what are the sources? did marc say that himself? any sources close to marc confirm that? because it's definitely something that sounds easy to fabricate...but with no proof behind it, it's all speculation.
and pau got what he deserved btw....he started bein a soft bitch dating back to the 2011 playoffs, when phil jackson had to shove him in the chest because he was mentally drained from shannon brown fucking his wife. played like a d-league scrub in that series and in the following playoffs, as well. management did what they needed.....eventually traded him for cp3 -not mitch's fault the deal was (illegally?) vetoed.
but like i said...if marc really wanted to be in LA and play for a contender, then why not clippers? because his fuckin heart was in memphis, thats why. he was raised there, went to high school there (when pau played for the grizzlies), and aint nobody guna turn down money to leave a contending team in a city u been made ur home from day 1.
Hack Wilson - real:
Clippers didn't have the $$$ to sign a free agent
that's why they NEEDED to bring Deandre back, they couldn't spend money on the open market and therefore begged him to come back and it worked.
those guys got one more year to be a real problem in the west...ALL thanks to Pierce, who will make sure they don't choke away a 3-1 lead again ;D

But it was more than just Pau. Look at Lamar Odom, and Andrew Bynum. Both in trade rumours all the time. No one was safe in L.A., just Kobe. That's not the way to run a franchise if you expect to attract people. They didn't resign Ariza after he played a key part in winning a title. Mitch just didn't treat players good at all. Look at Golden State and how West told them not to traded for Love. West kept players together in the 90's until everyone wanted then gone like Nick Van Exel or they left mid-sized season to go boating like Cedric. But players were not always in the paper because of trade rumors. You ask Kobe if he'd want Pau back, he'd say yes.
As I said, maybe it's Jim, maybe he's the source of dysfunction and Mitch has to work around it. I don't know. But something has to give or this great team might end up like the Knicks.

Bynum was considered untouchable until the moment he was traded, Mitch didn't even trade him for Jason Kidd when Kobe asked him to do it...and when he finally was traded, it proved to be the right decision. Odom, though inconsistent as a player, had a nice run on the lakers that spanned almost a decade. He was traded for Chris Paul, which again, was the right decision, but ended up gettin butthurt over it and requested a trade on his own accord, which u know he now regrets.....even in the 80s, mufuckaz like norm nixon and frank brikowski was gettin traded, in the 90s it was vlade divac and Eddie jones... Laker loyals. But it proved to be the right decision which resulted in more titles.... U cannot get mad at an organization for making u expandable. It's part of the business...u take it in stride and move along. Mitch did absolutely nothing wrong, pau and odom got exactly what they deserved...and frankly, if it wasn't for David sterns dumbass veto, it would also proved to be another genius move by Mitch. Bottom line.
