fukk Stephen A for the most part, but he spits hot fiya when it comes to that coke fiend jim buss. I wish more reporters ethered that piece of shyt the way
do.
we're still talking about jim buss. even though jim buss flipped bad knees drew for dwight howard, and then flipped aging odom and gasol for cp3. but its jim's fault the nba broke up his deal. i mean stern did for...basketball reasons.
that ish set us back a good 5+years.
jim buss had the cohones to draft bynum to begin with. everyone wanted gerald green. a hyper athletic SG/SF that could backup kobe and learn from kobe and possibly become the next kobe. nawww jim kept with the tradition. get a great big. there were no super greats in the nba. so build you one from scratch. That guy bynum was turning into an unstoppable monster even after both knees injuries. if it wasnt for those injuries. the lakers would've never been this bad right now. and they would be building around a monster center. even in the new nba with 3 point chucking bigs. wouldnt matter. he unlike most bigs nowadays. would destroy people like draymond in the paint to the point of fouling them out.
the same jim buss didnt just fold the tent and go home after the nba did something they have never done before with that nixed cp3 deal. jim buss flipped peanuts for nash. who was just g balling the season prior. nash bumps his knee and the entire lakers is history. kobe blows out his achilles trying to drag the lakers into the playoffs.
but some how all this is jim's fault. l o l.
he bottomed the team out and was forced to do so because of that nixed trade. we would've never had an old man nash. we would've flipped gasol before he got to old to get anything for.
why could we not get anything for gasol? because the entire nba knew we wanted to trade him after the deal didnt go thru. its poker folks. the nba made the lakers show their entire hand to every single owner.
but its all jim's fault.
i have yet to hear one single person on the radio or off, explain why Jim is terrible? I have never once heard anyone refute any of the above points made.
oh by the way, Jim buss was one of the voices in the room sine the tail end of the 90's. the guy has 10+ years of experience. He was apart of putting the last 2 championships together. but nawwww, jim is a dumb coke head. he may be or have been a coke head. but he has his father's vision for players.
oh, you're mad at him for the coaching hires. who else should they have hired? do not say phil who didnt want to coach but wanted to take jim's job. what has phil showed you that says he's a great gm? not a da... thing. coaching and gm is two completely different things.
so who were the lakers supposed to get as coach? mike brown - coach of the year, coached a superstar in bron
who else had a better resume at the time? Pop aint going anywhere. so who else? pat riles is to old and is in miami. who else????/ exactly.
MDA (thats what DOC buss wanted. he wanted an up and down team like the lakers of old. he said this when they let phil go the first time post shaq rings.
thats on jim's pops for making that request.
she's your typical dumbass female when it comes to sports, except she was born into a blessed position
