Wow. What an intriguing story. I knew of Sid Hartman but never this much about his involvement with the formation of the Lakers.

Strange...this means that LA would have never received the Lakers if Boston didn't land Bill Russell, so that means they wouldn't have won all those championships.

Interesting dilemma...

Bill Russell/Dave Cowens/Robert Parish/Kendrick Perkins vs. George Mikan/Wilt Chamberlain/Kareem Abdul Jabbar/Vlade Divac/Shaquille O'Neal/Pau Gasol & Andrew Bynum?

Give me the Lakers for 15, Bob.
