You don't have to agree with that, but that's a legit mind-state to have for a fan who's been down since birth like me...wow that's stupid. if a player sucks - he sucks. reguardless of what uniform he's wearing.You can't be in the NBA if you suck, especially not on a franchise like the Lakers...Every player has an area they excel in, and if they're not performing strong at the moment in that area, it doesn't mean they "suck"...Lets take Sasha for example. I think he's playing really shitty at the moment, but to me that doesn't mean he "sucks", cuz I know he's proven that he can shoot, he can hit big shots, he can get under the opponents skin on defense, and that's the stuff he specializes in...I can go on about this all day, but it basically comes down to not TRASHING your own players. Any one who identifies with the Laker organization SHOULD have that mind-state in my opinion, and from what I've seen out of ex-Lakers, former coaches, Laker icons etc., we do...I mean, come on, we AREN'T the Knicks over here, you know what I mean?

But let me ask you this...if we have a group of players who are only good for certain things, why not go out and find 1 player who can do multiple things? Sasha is a great defender + decent shooter and Parker is probably the best in the league at snatching a ball out of someones hand without fouling them. But neither of them show consistantcy. If we can find someone who does both, why not go for it? It's not trashing a player, it's upgrading the team to become a legit championship contender (which at this moment, we are NOT).
Can Kobe get a fuckin call? There's so many times he should be goin to the line for the and 1.
^ where do you stay?
