Lakers fans should have completely lost faith in the future of that franchise under Jimmy Buss the very ing second they gave Kobe a 50m dollar 2 year deal.
From a business perspective, it makes perfect sense, but how many sports fans give a about good business decisions when their team is suffering? If the decision secures the future of the franchise, that's one thing, but Jimmy's basically threw away the future for the present, to milk the Kobe fans for every penny they have. He probably saw all the Mexican and Pinoy Kobe love and thought "I can work with this".
It was at that moment, that fatal pen stroke, that sealed the fate of Laker nation for at least 6 more years.
I'll let you in on another secret you probably are too stupid to get: Okafor was intentionally ignored to avoid pulling spotlight from Kobe in his final fat contract season. Why have a ROY candidate outshine your cash cow? We know that's not how Lakers fans work, and that's not how Jimmy Buss spends.
So now you have Russell and Randle, Roy "1 rebound per series" Hibbert and a group of scrubs around Kobe. Guess what that does? It creates an illusion that losses are growing pains and that wins are Kobe's greatness. It insulates Kobe and attempts to soften the hit he's taken to his legacy over the past few years.
One more little tidbit for you: They didn't want LMA either. Oh Mitch probably did. Kobe and Jim didn't. Maybe in a couple years when Kobe retires, but while he's playing he has to be the focus on offense, always, every trip, 44 minutes a game, even when they are being blown out.

What a rambling..incoherent...piece of ..you can do better fat belly boy..ok
All that bs and the Lakers are still the better franchise and have accomplished more in terms of capturing the zeitgeist. Enjoy the spurs, outside this board no one really cares. Sorry bro.
Why did you pity post in this thread, Med?
Things are looking very bad right now and if Jim Buss doesn't off we're ed for decades to come like the Raiders. It's my biggest fear for us and has been since the 90's about our transition without Dr. Buss.
But I really believe this team will either turn things around in 5-6 years or be sold to someone who can. Laker fans are not going to sit around and be too happy if something special doesnt happen in the next half decade or so. Jim Buss is the best thing to happen to Laker haters since the HIV virus.
They will take it up the ass or find a new team to bandwagon on. Jim strikes me as a guy who doesn't give a what people think of him. He won't sell the team because the Lakers gives him and the Buss family their iden y and purpose. The only way Jimbo sells the team is if he gets caught up in a Sterling type of situation.
That's a crock of . He went to great measures to keep his divorce quiet. He gagged his ex wife and paid the judge to meet with him in private.

Nice post.
Besides the incompetence of current Buss owners, all the accolades to Jerry Buss for the multi scams he ran, and yet wasn't it he that, from his assisted living bed gave orders to not rehire Phil J and instead bring on Diantoni?
They've always been a fraud organization, but for whatever reason the scams ended with Jerrys passing.
Frosted tips
Keep dreaming, nurse:
Buss, who shares the majority ownership of the Lakers with his five siblings, said the Lakers' franchise is not on the market.
"There is no point to sell, because it's a family business," he said. "We have Jesse [Buss] who runs the scouting and does an incredible job. Joey [Buss], who is the business side and runs the D-Fenders and does a great job. They're the future of the Lakers.
"We're not going to sell, that's all there is to it."
