Truth Bombs
Mitch Kupchak has now officially and publicly acknowledged something that's seemed clear to pretty much anyone paying attention over the last two years: that the Los Angeles Lakers can't, and won't, move forward as a team and organization until after they send legendary superstar Kobe Bryant off into retirement at the end of this season.

I enjoyed reading that article when it came out early last week
can't walk and chew gum at the same time
"Under normal cir stances [in a season like this], at some point, you would probably concentrate on just developing all your young players," Kupchak told ESPN on Tuesday. "But we can't do that right now.
"This [season] is really a justified farewell to perhaps the best player in franchise history. And, God willing, he's going to want to play every game and he's going to want to play a lot of minutes in every game, because that's just the way he is.
"And as long as that continues, which it should, then that's 30-35 minutes that you might give to a young player that you can't. How do you get a feel for your team going forward when you know that your best player is not going to be there next year? So it's really hard to go forward until he's no longer here.
"That's not a bad thing. I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all. It's something that I think is a good thing. In some regards, there's a silver lining. Our younger players can make mistakes and it can kind of go under the radar because Kobe garnishes so much attention. Every game, it's about Kobe. Even when he doesn't play, it's about Kobe. So in a lot of regards, there's a silver lining that our guys can develop under the radar and maybe make a mistake or make two mistakes and it not be a big deal."
has it ever happened that franchise is so proud of its dysfunction like the Lakers been for a while now? it is straight coming out of their lips and management have no qualms pretending otherwise.. And to think that Mitch had a good reputation as a GM few years back
Laker fans on here saying the young guys are developing fine when the GM just admitted they aren't developing at all because Kobe holding them hostage.
it's not surprising, kobe bryant is more important than the lakers.

Justice DPG....Justice
I guess that is funny?
You and I both know you were upset
Why would I be upset?
Kool is salty as . Shook, like he has been all year
The Lakers really have devolved into one of the worst organizations in sports.
Durrr
Ain't nobody stopped him in the last 5 years except himself.
That's just the third 5th talking.
Crawl, mother er, crawl!!!
Why you reading bout baggots tho?
The league's wing players notwithstanding.
Same goes for Greg Oden.
So funny Laker fan can never bring themselves to the table in an honest fashion, to own up to the horrible past few years, and lament their irrlevancy for the next 5+
Instead they logon to a Spurs forum and talk to fans of an annual contender
