Lakers: Lol - Steve Nash: "I Will Miss Metta But I Won't Miss Dwight."

[Clipper Nation]

Now that daddeh's not around to clean up his mess, Jimbo will be exposed as the west-coast Dolan, tbh....

I'd say you've had more than "fortune", but on that I digress. Without Bynum I don't know what the success or failures of L.A would be. And even the worst of the worst are right at least on one occasion. But he showed his true colors with his recent string of mistakes, which he will never live down. And in this new age of the cap, unless they go Prokhorov, his mistakes may have a longer lasting effect than we all think. He must have the redemption, and his window is small. One man is not responsible for the culmination of many variables, although he can be the starting point. And unfortunately, he never has been, and will never be that starting point. I will never turn my back on him either. Open arms, open arms.

The new CBA is a haymaker. He's done well though. We only have Nash after this season. If Kobe can't come back they'll trade Nash and we'll be free & clear with a draft choice next Summer.

Where our killing ground was and where we missed was when we did not defend '10. Jackson was shivering his timbers with cancer. The 2nd year in we made a monumental mistake of loitering Paul and Howard. It cost us Odom and any chance of getting back to it. That was Kupchak. He had two bites at the apple. He tried to trade Odom and then when it was banned, he let Odom get his goat and ran him off. That's a humongous mistake on Kupchak there, SA. Just because Media didn't string him up his Buster Browns makes nary difference. I know when I see a Atomic Blast and that was one. We've been drifting in the winds ever since. We lost our compass there (sniffing after players who were not worthy of us, nor the players we were jettisoning to accommodate them.) I said then it was insane to pursue two losers at the expense of the club we had painstakingly built and had only failed the one season ('11). It was reckless and inexplicable. In many ways it is what Cuban did after he went to all the trouble to build his team in his image.

The Begging

All I see is butt hurt laker fans talking about Dwight like he was a nobody.

I see nothing wrong with what he wanted, amnesty Kobe to start the retool process to make a run. Lakers blind devotion to Kobe wil be the end of you guys. I hope you guys stay laker fans while Kobe eats all your cap.

Oh and btw if laker fans thought he was so sorry, why buy his jersey?

You clown. That's like Elden Campbell asking to amnesty Magic. Enjoy your squad full of roll players.

[Buddy Mignon]

The league is still our pussy to play in. Kobe comes back healthy and we're in the playoffs and we go from there. Regardless of what happens with Kobe... we have a clean slate in a year. We reload and start the chase all over again. Last I checked... Jim Buss has two les under his belt. Swung off a deal to land CP3, Nash and Howard. Looks like it's still business as usual for us.

Hey bozo, Kobe is hurt and will not live up to 30 million, why would you not do what's best for the team.

Tbh I feel bad for Pau, nga had to take lot of the heat when things weren't going right.

Harden is better than any laker guard right now.

I really hope Kobe comes back as soon as possible so he can will the lakers into the 9th spot.

its funny now how houston fans prop dwight howard as the best big thing that happened in houston when just a years ago they were killing him with those yao/dwight comparisons


lakers fans kept it real. dwight wasn't suc a big deal when he was traded to LA last year and despite of the billboards, real laker fans were ok with dwight leaving.


i'd like to see how this harden-howard relationship goes in 2 yrs. dwight is in a rude awakening if he thinks he's having a fresh start in houston with another ball dominant guard like jimmy harden

That's because Yao killed Dwight when they played. Doesn't mean having the best center in the NBA now should make rockets fans upset. I understand why Laker fans are upset tho. They got a taste of the goodness and are salty now. Enjoy the end of the Kobe era.

People have no mercy beating the dead dog. DH is gone and he scorned the LA city so bad en route to joining Houston, so it doesn't matter whatever you say about him. The lower you look down upon this shameless asshole the higher Laker fans will think of you.

He's also going to Miss the playoffs.

[Bill_Brasky]

Nobody has ever done more of a complete 180 around here than what Laker fans are doing with Howard. Those threads from last summer are some of the best gold I've read yet.

[Bill_Brasky]

I made peace with the injury on contact. We've had an incredible run of injury free years. Now since the late '80's have we had a hit like this. That's a quarter century of fortune. To lament this would be wrong. Sure I don't welcome it, but, I've been blessed and I recognize that fact.

People like to malign Jim Buss because Media has hung him from the Tree of Woe and people will follow Media for reasons I'll never understand. They ignore the fact that it was he who had to fight tooth and nail to draft Bynum. It was he who had to fight tooth, nail and Kobe to reject the trading of Bynum. Without Jim Buss we're at 14 and 3 and Kobe is eating Daddy's ass in perpetuity.

People act like 1 or 2 rings when you have 14 is of little import and can be bandied about on a message board like so many Skittles and cans of Iced Tea. I ain't one of those people and you shouldn't be either because you've been taught the importance of 1 ring that you had and then you hadn't.

I will never turn my back on Jim Buss. Ever.

Jim Buss is an irresponsible cokehead ty owner who didn't hire Phil back because he has a weird thing where he creepily doesn't like the dude his sister's ing, kind of like the guy on Scarface( ing creepiest character flaw ever, this dude like literally wanted to have sex with his own sister it seemed like, made me so in glad to see him get shot to in the end).

You're inconsolable, Brasky.

You'll improve, but, you'll never get over it.
