Not Many Trade Options for our Lakers Mitch says

I disagree i think it's Dwight being unhappy and letting his buddy Rudolph run this story making sure he clarifies he's not looking to be traded so he doesn't get the eventual hate that goes along with it.

But the question is now is when or if it happens does Phil Jackson even want to hear from Jim and Jerry Buss again

Phil is supposed to be the front runner for a management position in Seattle. Phil has always wanted to have a management role, so there is no way he rejects that to coach again...especially for the Buss's.

a big question that remains to be seen is whether or not buss would oust mitch in favor phil coaching and running the team his way. i believe phil would accept the head coach position here if he had say in the FO. but i don't feel comfortable doing that to kupchak.

either way whether he ends up for la or seattle it's great to me. i'm pulling for both teams.

Doing what we did to Jerry West all over again to Mitch? Remember West wasnt a fan of bringing Phil in to begin with. But in all honesty if its gets us more rings I'm all for it.. Isnt that the idea anyway?

Jarrod Rudolph -
You must all make sure that you don't confuse a team's desire to trade for a player with a player's desire to be traded. It's not the same.

In other words, don't confuse bk wanting to trade for Dwight Howard with Dwight actually wanting or requesting to be traded.

On to the next rumor.

what does this say to you?

I believe he's covering for Dwight plain and simply.

If he's giving signs of not returning...

Ibaka,Lamb,P.Jones+ Tor's pick and 2 other 1st round picks for Howard

Our season's over anyways,might as well get a few promising young players and picks in return

Wow. What? :lol:

the article didn't originate from there did you even click the link?

Why not post a link to the article then?

it was in Spanish but here it is http://blogs.canalplus.es/daimiel/

it was translated on Lakersground.net so thats why I linked that one instead of the original source

I got a relevant quote from that article for y'all:

Gasol's professional relationship coach and has been a pulse from the first matches of D'Antoni on the bench, in parentheses liar dinner at Restaurant Petros in Manhattan Beach last December 19.

But Arn Tellem's just doing his job. The trade deadline's coming up, I'm sure he just wants to know what's going on at the very least.

Not if you get a draft pick or two---and Pierce's salary for next year is only partially guaranteed ($5 Mil)
Lakers are WAY over the Luxury tax.

This is the original link. Sorry, in Spanish

http://blogs.canalplus.es/daimiel/

Antoni Daimiel is the best spanish NBA-specialized journalist. A very serious guy. He has a good and long relationship with the Gasol Family. I think It could be a good enough source.

I want Dwight to work out here but we have to change our style of play. Mike is the one that has to go

Now will Jim and Jerry Buss admit their mistake here

Lmao Max Kellerman is on the radio pleading for Phil Jackson. Its also kinda crazy how both Ireland and Mason are admitting that the Mike D. hire was bad and a mistake.
