Comments on: Lakers among teams who made a last-ditch efforts in for KG http://thelakersnation.com/blog/2007/07/31/lakers-among-teams-who-made-a-last-ditch-efforts-in-for-kg/ The #1 Source For Everything Lakers Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:14:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: lakerfan81 http://thelakersnation.com/blog/2007/07/31/lakers-among-teams-who-made-a-last-ditch-efforts-in-for-kg/#comment-10365 lakerfan81 Wed, 01 Aug 2007 14:20:34 +0000 http://getgarnett.com/blog/?p=669#comment-10365 You can not blame Kupchak for not getting Garnett. The lakers simply did not have the pieces to outbid Boston. You can blame him for other things but not for that. The reason they were able to get Allen and Garnett is because they have been a lottery team for a few years and were able to get players like Jefferson, and Green and they had the #5 pcik this year because Pierce was injured half of the season. If kobe had gotten injured and the Lakers only won 30 games and had gotten the # five pick they probably could have gotten Garnett with a package of Brown, Bynum, #5 Sasha filler another 1st round pick or two.

It says it all: the playboy owner who once was lucky enough to have landed a vast pool of talent but squandered away, and the general manager who was the joke of the entire league, who was at the wrong end such a destructive trade it continues to hamper the ability of the team to improve. Don't anyone let this sucker forget the deal that became the ruin of the Lakers: Gave up Shaq for??? Odom? hasn't worked out, his long and large contract continues to weigh down the team which is stuck with him and his hefty salary for another 2 years. Caron Butler? Gone! Brian Grant? Played a few games, didn't contribute, was injured for a while, had another bloated, destructive contract, was waived after the team swallowed the rest of his contract (what was it, 30 million?) Hey, Kupchak, what exactly have you accomplished on this job, other than signing left over, unwanted, no-name players? Oh yeah, Karl Malone and Gary Peyton... But if they ended up here it was because they were looking for a championship, not because you landed them... and we all know how well that turned out. I love the dumb and dumber poster.
