Mitch Kupchak...

If Pau Gasol didn't fall into his lap he'd be vilified in Lakerland.

They wanted him fired for YEARS before the Gasol scam happened

Kobe basically said before the 2007-2008 season he was demanding a trade because Kupchak couldn't carry Jerry West's jockstrap. Sure enough, the student's career was saved because of a trade the teacher arranged

Yep.

He was a pariah in Los Angeles until the teacher bailed out his dumb ass. This is the guy who thought trading Caron Butler for Kwame Brown was a good move.

Signing Steve Nash was probably the worst decision of his career.

Nash has been in collect-a-paycheck mode since '08, is 40 years old and can't stay healthy, is one of the worst defenders in the league, and Mitch, whose team has notorious trouble stopping quick PGs, thought it wise to trade 4 draft picks for him and give him a 3 year, 27 million dollar contract.

What?
