76ers killed the Lakers

[KP]

I think they've work better than Petrie and the Maloofs..at least for a few years.

At what paying off the refs?

That is not nice. The Kings have never even attempted to pay off the refs...bad example.

Well, whatever they base their moves on it's not working.

Totality, brother. Totality.

Jerry Buss and Mitch Kupchak don't make moves based on Kobe Bryant's desires. That's Hollywood slant.

As noted by other posters, the only thing that MADE any sense out of the disaster moves Mitch has made was Kobe's desires. If that is not how the Lakers make decisions what are they doing using a Ouija board?

The Phil decision was made in February during contract negotations. The Shaq decision was made when both sides couldn't come to an agreement on dollar figures for his extension. Kobe Kruger, meanwhile, was busily an inch from signing with the Clippers long after Shaq and Phil were gone.

Nothing makes "sense" in blaming Kobe for Shaq demanding to be traded at the first impasse in contract negotiations. ("I ain't gonna take no paycut." -- Shaq). Nothing makes "sense" in blaming Kobe for the departure of Jackson as the Lakers try to reacquire him this offseason (and realistically already have tried). Furthermore, nothing makes "sense" in blaming Kobe for the departure of Jackson when Jackson has said that Kobe wasn't the reason for his departure.

Media slant.

We can talk til we're blue in the face, Gargamel, people already have their minds made up. I've been saying the same things since last summer....

So Ouija board it is... I honestly can not wait to see what Mitch does with a lotto pick... I think he can find the next Mark Price if he tries hard and the spirts will talk to him.
