The Begging part II
In all honesty, it's gotta suck being Mitch right now. Working for Fredo, and being threatened by Vino.
so he quits on the team and pretends to be unhappy![]()
Phil stealing headlines. Kobe has to steal them back.
Actually...I was about to criticize Kobe for this because he is a huge reason why the future seems bleak. However, him calling out Buss and telling Jeanie and Jim to figure this out is the best thing to happen to the Lakers in over 3 years. I think Kobe getting that contract and still being comfortable enough to call out Buss is awesome.
Good for him...
It resulted in our third back-to-back of the century last time he took a fit.
There's no star for him to piggyback this time
Though Gasol couldn't win a single playoff game without Kobe holding his hand.
That's the irony with Kob: always wants every cent, and simultaneously wants the Lakers to bring in all the top flight talent.
Get real. You take 24m out the yearly payroll, there is only so much they can do. Even for a big market team.
The sky is falling in laker land.
And we all saw it a mile away.

Yep. Kirby got 2 les that he was VERY FORTUNATE to get, and don't won't to deal with the fallout from overspending, and get this, DOESN'T WANT HIS OLD TEAMMATES TRADED. If the Lakers kept every guy from those two most recent les, the Lakers would suck for the rest of his career.
Make up your mind, Kirby.
Yes, MVPau's arrival did result in a back-to-back, with MVPau as the alpha.
Let us proceed....
And as I said if Kobe doesn't take a fit there & then we're short a back-to-back & you've got the con with 4.
Those, Ed, are the very best kind to get.
This is incredibly painful to watch. I have never seen a fall of a great franchise like this before. It's ugly. Laker "fans" will have to cling to past even more because the now/future looks horrifically bad.
It's amazing the amount of direspect Kobe has. LA is stupid (not business-wise, but personally) for showing that snake in the grass so much loyalty. He's spurned them and spit in their faces so many times and quit on them so many times, yet they keep paying him and taking it. They are the Lakers. They are the great franchise. They should ship Kobe's spoiled broke down ass out and prove that point again like they have before.
I'm chompin' at the bit.
& the next time the House of Ellis directs you to come for me,,,pack a bigger lunch.
lmvictoriousao!!!
Great points, but with Kirby's popularity, the Lakers FO doesn't care about winning a le. But because Kirby put buts in those expensive seats, they pretend to kowtow. For them it's just about profit, and if they win a few shiny golden baubles for their fans to drool over, so much the better.
