I could not of said that better myself! |
I can say it better:
Hell no, I don't want that piece of trash (bleep) on my team. |
Co-signed!

The guy is a competitor and far better than any Forward on our roster.....
That being said....I completely agree:

Bynum/McRob
Hill/LO
Pierce/KB
KB/MWP
Sessions/Blake
I think MWP and LO coming off the bench together would be awesome.

 I would have co-signed. But after I heard that interview, I want to give the guy a chance. So far, he tried to get Chris Paul and get the Lakers under the cap at the same time. Wasn't his fault that Stern is hellbent on competing with the WWE. His only moronic and idiotic move is the hiring of Mike Brown. Jim, what the hell were you thinking?! Over Adleman?!!! |
Exactly. Ever since "The Veto", Which happened the night of my Birthday coincidentally, I've retired my "Jim Buss Is A Moron" sig. He's earned a 5-Year Grace Period from me because that's how long Dan Gilbert and David Stern set us back. |
i would agree naturally... but a part of me says jerry buss had alot to do with the cp3 deal and jimmy buss had alot to do with the mike brown hiring.... |
Given that Jerry Buss has been ill, it's highly unlikely he had anything to do with that vetoed trade other than approve it. |
why would jerry buss veto the trade. all im saying is who thought of this trade. Jerry, Jim or Mitch |
Are you for real?
Let me rephrase:
I said it's highly unlikely that Jerry Buss had anything to do with putting together the NOW vetoed trade for Chris Paul. His involvement likely extended to agreeing to it once it was presented to him. He has been ill so expecting that he was involved with any of the brainstorming or negotiations involved in that trade is not very realistic. That trade was all Mitch and Jim, with Jerry giving his thumbs up on the approval. |

What about Sessions and Bynum for KG and Rondo...
KG
Pau
Artest
Kobe
Rondo
Hmmm??? I'd still look for a small forward who can shoot since there will be even less spacing with Rondo who doesn't shoot threes. |

problem with this is, it kills any chance of getting d-will (much younger than pierce obviously) for pau in a three team trade. lets explore that option first and foremost, before looking at other ventures. |

I was saying Bynum for Rondo + KG, but I guess Sessions would allow Boston to have a backup PG too. But I think the Celts don't want to lose KG/Allen for nothing this summer. Although they could use the salary cap space, but since when have free agents really flocked to Boston?

my bad i read your original post a little to quickly... i thought it said "trade veto" instead of "vetoed trade".
but ya i agree with what you are saying however they may have made a big mistake on mike brown |

These made up trade rumors are disgusting
Obviously if they are trading Gasol it would be to get younger or for a guard.
The crappy thing about the NBA is anyone can make up something like Gasol for Rondo. And when it never happens, no one is punished or remembers who reported it.
A blind man could to tell u Boston would never trade a 26 year old PG. Not even 4 years ago. |

Lakers Rumors: Pau Gasol to be traded for Paul Pierce?
The trade rumors surrounding Pau Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers have started to surface in the City of Angels with a good possibility of the Spanish forward having played his last game with the Lakers.
With play Gasol failing to prove to the Lakers’ front office that he is worth holding onto for the last two years of his contract at $19 million a season, GM Mitch Kupchak is pursuing different options on the trade market for the Lakers’ star forward.

An intriguing trade option that has just surfaced for the Lakers is acquiring veteran forward Paul Pierce from the Boston Celtics. With the Big 3 in Boston on the verge of being dismantled after this season, Pierce may become trade bait for GM Danny Ainge with the team seemingly wanting to build around All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo.
According to Ric Bucher of ESPN the Magazine, Pierce for Gasol trade is a possibility: |
Putting aside the fact that I absolutely loathe Paul Pierce, trading for him makes absolutely no sense. If Barnes isn't coming back or we amnesty World Peace, I would much rather develop Ebanks. If we trade Gasol, either Deron Williams needs to come back in exchange or some solid role players off the bench do. Pierce would be a waste.

Nothing makes me cringe more than the thought of sacrificing half our frontcourt for a geriatric wing player entering his twilight years. And a true dbag to boot.

Here's why I think it may make sense:
As with Kobe, Pierce's contract ends after 2 seasons. The Lakers trade Gasol, thus opening the paint up for Bynum. We get another All-Star perimeter player, who can score with our without Kobe on the court. Also, with Pierce on board, Kevin Garnett would probably be willing to take the mini MLE to sign with the Lakers.
A trade like this would work: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=c2k6cce
Sign Jordan Hill. Maybe sign Jason Kidd for the Vet. Min.
We wouldn't be getting any younger, but if the FO is going to build around Bynum, then it's going to have to wait until Kobe retires anyway. |

The logic is fine, but my joints hurt from contemplating all these old joints joining our team...
