Popovich pops off on Grizzlies' controversial swap

[MajicMan]

You don't think they are tanking this year it like you guys did? It's supposedly a pretty deep draft.

[MajicMan]

Whats your excuse for being at home alone on a friday night.

The zits not go down enough?

What's yours?

[RonMexico]

Maybe not best to burn bridges in Memphis and anger the Lakers, but I think Pop is right on the mark with what he said.

[TwoHandJam]

Who said anything about winning?

You kinda have to win to make money. Or at least not lose all the time.

[T Park]

I'm not at home, I'm at work.


Something adults do so they can support the lazy kids like you to live.

[DazedAndConfused]

But but it's a CONSPIRACY!!! WHAAAA WHAAAAA WHAAAA

[T Park]

You kinda have to win to make money.

I think some teams have proven otherwise.

Are they in that hotbed of NBA fandom known as Memphis? Didn't think so.

you're a dumb , the Spurs didn't even have the worst record that year. That went to Boston who openly tanked that season. DRob, along with Elliott, Chuck Person, and a list of other players missed countless games that season. Troll elsewhere

The sad thing is I probably make more money than you. What do you make in a year?

[T Park]

Yup. 8 or 9 I'd say.

Did someone in the upper deck just say something?

[DazedAndConfused]

So now Pau Gasol is a franchise player? I thought he was a soft Euro-trash pussy? Make up your mind guys.

Right, I didn't know people in the meat packing department had extra time to play on the computer let alone computers in the meat packing department.

[MajicMan]

Clippers are actually one of the teams in the NBA that make money on a consistent basis and they lose all the time.

[slayermin]

And they were willing to take back Gasol's contract? You know he is set to make almost $50M over the next 3 seasons.

Yeah, playing GM really takes some time to analyze all the variables. Seattle is in limbo without a new arena and it's unlikely that they would want to take on the rest of his deal.

And Miami still had Shaq's contract on the books when Gasol was traded so I can understand them not even thinking about taking on more money.

Let me take another crack at this.

You cheated by copying my idea, stating it crudely and without pictures of old men in leather.

Yeah kiddo.

Your Lord of the Rings dolls need cleaning.

Be gone.

I was thinking Randal Graves.

Memphis != Los Angeles. You can't make money in Memphis if you don't win. In Los Angeles, you field the worst team in pro sports and make money.

If the Grizzlies wanted to salary dump Gasol, I find it hard to believe that no team would offer anything more than three late first rounders and a mid second rounder as compensation.

[Fernando TD21]

LOL my leg is broken and I can't do anything but sit at home and watch sports. What's your excuse?

Is your team tanking too, like the Spurs did with David Robinson?

The sad thing is I probably make more money than you. What do you make in a year?

That's a good point. Whoever makes more money is right. Just to show that a person doesn't need to be smart to make a lot of money.

happens all the time just like when Minne was dealing under the table with Joe Smith and the Pats filming other teams except for the fact that these two teams got caught. Spurs en tanked and they landed the number one pick. Why aren't they investigated? Not giving your all is a major sin in sports. Robert Horry plays dirty against the Suns and the Spurs get rewarded. If Pop wants to talk about a basketball committee the committee would have en vetoed the Shaq for Grant, Lamar, and Butler trade and also the Butler for Kwame trade and also the Scola for peanuts trade so he should shut his ugly face. All these recent trades for the Lakers that went down have been in their favor just like his "thank god they tore down the Berlin Wall or broke up the Soviet Union" or some like that comment about when the Lakers traded Shaq. Hypocritical two face whiny Pop should shut his trap. en Bill Belichick of basketball.

Jealous?

Someone is getting mad.

[LA24]

Some of you Laker fans need to chill. Our team hasn't done crap the last 3 years and there's no guarantee we will this win this year either.

Shut up trader. Nobody said anything about winning. This is about the Pau Gasol trade so take your ass kissing elsewhere.

[DazedAndConfused]

What does this thread have to do with the Lakers winning a le?

This is all about crybaby Spur fans making stupid claims of collusion because their FO missed out on the Pau Gasol sweepstakes.
