Well then he and the GM that signed Kobe to this contract have something in common then.
But at least Kupchak has some sort of winning resume. Willing to bet the GM that said it hasn't won jack squat.
Now if the comment came from R.C Buford, Pat Riley or Donnie Nelson.....you know front office personnel that has actually won something then well the comment holds some serious weight. But guys that smart aren't going to comment on the Lakers business just out of shear respect for one another.
But GM's who pop off about that stuff only do it to make it seem like they know what they're doing, but what the hell does your team have to show for it ? And I know who those GM's are....so let's not front on that.
Yeah Kobe's deal hurt them this summer, but looking at it and being real about it the chances of them getting what everyone valued was slim and none. His deal is done when really the best FA class is available. So what the hell are we arguing ? And secondly who says the Lakers even will contemplate trading him ? This just shows that the bogus GM who made this comment is just talking out the side of his a**.
