lol Jefferson for Bowen\Thomas's corpse and Oberto lol
it wasn't lopsided, they traded crap for crap.
EVEN?
That really surprises you? That's like saying even McCain didn't vote for Obama. Of ing course he's gonna about it. He had the most to lose. And he's been ing about it since the second it happened.
LMAO hindsight is 20/20. I'm not a newbie. I know what the Spurs section of this messageboard was like after the Spurs traded for RJ. And, I remember Pop's comments saying if he couldn't win with this squad, he should be fired. It's easy to rewrite sentiments well after the fact.
LOL lakerfan starting this thread.
LOL lakerfan crying about crying.

And the Spurs fans with any intelligence are still excited.
Uh, Jammie, just remember who's your landlord in that room you call home down the way.
how is that ing dumbass? he is answering a question from the reporter
He wants veto power on trades.
tee, hee.
More like a basement.
Poor homeless people...
It's an obvious statement..pretty much the only people that don't believe it's collusion are Laker fans and fans that don't want to believe that their favorite league has like this going on behind the scenes..
the NBA is entertainment, like TV and movies..this was a smart move on their part, and that's what happens when the golden rapist starts crying and asking out..
the sad part is that the media is too in love with the Lakers to ever question this move, and most of the people involved in the NBA wouldn't dare risk a major fine or upsetting Stern..
Gotta keep the LA vs Boston thing going. They tried hard to knock out Orlando, but not quite last year.
if the Mavs got a gift "gasol like" trade I wouldn't feel bad about it at all.
therefore even if it was collusion, i cant complain... we're still beatin them in the WCF regardless.
It is not only collusion, it is plain cheating. This particular team's championships unfortunately will all carry a big * in the history books.
Years from now ppl will remember them as the "cheatin lakers" , "remember the cheatin lakers? they used to have a rapist at SG"
I personally would be ashamed to be called a Lakerfan these days.
Popovich Bares His True Sarcastic Soul
SportingNews
We always hear that Gregg Popovich and the Spurs are closet comedians. That’s certainly borne out by their HEB ads, but there’s no truth in advertising. If you want to find the real Spurs humor, you have to look a little closer to the team’s personality as we know it: dry, deadpan and just this side of snide.
Usually, the team keeps its funnies to itself. But when you catch them making funny out in the open, it’s always big news. Case in point: what happened when Lakers Blog brought up the Gasol trade with Pop. His whip-smart response: "You mean the one where I fainted?"
Going further, he got a little jab in at anyone, most likely Lakers fans, trying to claim they didn’t fleece the Grizzlies. Because then everyone who likes another team would insist the league is rigged and second-guess last year’s le … anyway, it gets ugly fast. Pop, for his part, doesn’t mind adding a little fuel to the fire:
Andy [Kamenetzky] then asked him if the development of Pau’s lil’ bro in Memphis makes the deal perhaps a little less lopsided. Marc has, after all, become a very good NBA player down in Memphis, and is still very early in his career. Maybe, just maybe, it was a more equitable swap than he originally thought? "Please," he said with a sarcastic eye roll. "Please."
From his perspective, it doesn’t really matter how good Marc becomes, since he’s concerned about winning les, not the rebuilding effort in Memphis. Thus anything that creates a dominant team in LA will seem disproportional.
In the same way that Duncan’s gradually shedding the "boring and blank" label and is getting recognized as a profoundly skilled player who operates with breathless efficiency, Popovich is on the verge of becoming a real cult hero.
Maybe it has something to do with the Spurs so undeniably cons uting some kind of dynasty. And, with that, Duncan belonging way up there with the greats and Pop warranting consideration in the "best coaches" category. All both need is a little bit more re-branding. The intensely private Timmy will likely wait a while, but I can tell Popovich is just chomping at the bit to write a book that shows the real Spurs. If you hear me, Coach, I’ll be waiting by the phone.
The Mavs pounding your pootie 4-1 trumps our shame.
tee, hee.
Hey, 228, did you clear #67 with Kori afore lodging?
at least we didn't cheat
You are one stupid muther er.
thats exactly what the Grizzlies wanted...nothing.
Marc Gasol is not nothing.
yah cuz tanking a season is much more honarable.
