    If you don't need LeBron to ring, why so desperate for his services?

    Lakers must be pretty desperate, tbh... lateral move after lateral move... what's the endgame anyways?

    You're reaching CN. This is about business. If he's available, Mitch will go get him like the Logo went and got Shaq (a much bigger star than Bron is right now tbh). Neal with it.

    Riley created the Showtime Lakers. He's a living legend and Mitch has nothing on him.
    Agreed. Kupcake is a dumb . Not very difficult to broker "genius deals" when you're the GM of the franchise that is, by far, the most desirable free agent destination in the league, while being backed by an owner willing to drop 9 in' figures (lol) on payroll. For my money, Kupcake never built a championship team. The 3 peat Lakers were Jerry West's brainchild, and the Gasol trade (done in collusion with Jerry West) that led to two championships was a result of Jerry West bringing Shaq to town all those years ago. If Shaq stays in Orlando, he obviously never becomes a Laker, and never gets traded for Caron Butler, Brian Grant, and Lamar Odom, which was a terrible, terrible deal but the key event that eventually led to the Lakers acquiring Pau Gasol after Mitch one upped his own stupidity and traded Caron Butler for Kwame Brown. Those set of moves should've set the Lakers back a decade. Luckily for Mitch, however, Ol' Zeke From Cabin Creek came to the rescue and gifted Pau Gasol to the Lakers.

    Laker fans will argue Memphis was vindicated since Marc Gasol wound up being a pretty good player. At the time, though, Marc was a huge unknown, and is still nowhere near the player his brother is. Furthermore, if the trade never goes through and Marc Gasol winds up a Laker, he'd be a disaster playing alongside Bynum in the triangle and the Lakers remain 1st/2nd fodder for the foreseeable future. Things did sort of work out for Memphis, but at the end of the day, they didn't receive equal value. Chicago had a better offer in place, but unfortunately for them, Jerry West was never a Bull.

    You don't need a lengthy explanation to justify why Riles is better than Mitch. Mitch engineered trades to help the Lakers win les, but Riles engineered an era of championship basketball.

    Mitch always brings the verbosity out from me. I hate the prick. And Lakers fans also hated him from '05 to late '07 as the re was stumbling over himself to put together a decent basketball team. Then Gasol gets FedEx'ed over from Memphis (pun intended) and Mitch is suddenly the greatest GM in the history of the world. He's a below average GM who would flame out anywhere else other than the Lakers.

    Mitch recovered made a lot of good moves for the Lakers after having a rough start. You are mad at him because Memphis gifted him Gasol, and now because of that he is considered a good GM. I get what you feel. I feel the same way with Danny Ainge being gift-wrapped with Kevin Garnett via a Kevin McHale alley-oop. But the Gasol trade was a culmination of the things he did and thankfully did not do during the summer of 2007. That trade was no accident. It was months' worth of work for the Lakers' front office, after months of trying to find THAT trade that will turn the Lakers into a championship team.

    indeed. He's an East Coast version of Mitch.

    Sometimes trying to buy a championship works out, sometimes it doesn't. The Lakers have had a few bad years of luck with that but that check book of theirs will net them a winner eventually.

    That's because some moneyed franchises don't use their brains. Love them or hate them, but the Lakers use theirs.

    The difference is, the media doesn't suck Ainge's over it to this day and act like he's some genius general manager... frankly, he's just as overrated as Mitch, tbh...

    So one of the reasons to trade him, aside from getting athletic and younger is because Josh Smith is one of Dwight Howard's close friends. WTF? Since when was that a reason to trade for people? I remember when the Bulls traded away Charles Oakley for Bill Cartwright and Oakley was Jordan's close friend.
