David Stern said that Kupchak panicked during negotiations

but I agree the league should never be running a franchise.

Can anyone tell me why the Lakers aren't better? Why isn't Lebron there?

Kobe's greed sunk the franchise, just like I knew it would. So delicious.

The nash and Howard trades hurt more than Kobe's contract

Jerry West left

RC Vikings

Hard to be good when you give big money to an older Luol Deng and Mosgov

I have a hard time believing the Lakers don't have money.

They have money

They have plenty of money from their local TV deal alone. According to Forbes

Point being, Sam Hinkie was locking up Rob Covington's at 1 million a year

gave Kobe a sympathy/loyalty contract at the end; paid him far more than he was

Don't forget about the league blocking Chris Paul from joining the Lakers.

No kidding... that was ridiculous. But they still let Durant go to GSW.

Gambled and traded all their assets for Steve Nash and Dwight

6/15/17 11:29am

What assets did they have? Just picks?

The Lakers didn't lose too much in the Howard trade

donnerstag

6/15/17 12:14pm

The draft picks, trade exception, and expiring contract were the big ones

6/15/17 1:15pm

Stern with his huge overreach in the CP3 deal

spugeddy24

6/15/17 12:14pm

true. but I read that they made another deal but the lakers GM killed it

Deleted

6/15/17 12:18pm

Doesn't mean it's true. Pure Speculation

spugeddy24

6/15/17 12:35pm

They were never going to allow CP3 to go to the Lakers

6/15/17 1:05pm
