ok. i know there is a lot of what ifs, but what if mitch used up our MLE and signed someone like sprewell or duhon instead of saying, we wont use our MLE on one player, and then goes out and signs mckie and jackson, who didnt play much at all. again, i know there are a lot of what ifs, but i think if mitch was smarter, and signed someone like duhon or spre, it would have made a huge difference in the playoffs against the suns
Man forget about the past... Just look what the lakers gained as a team from their experience in the playoffs. I know Kobe will come back stronger than ever next year. He never lets us down.
not only will kobe come back... pjax will... im sure he's pissed on someone messing up his perfect 1st round record hahaha
The use of the MLE since Kupcake became GM has been a complete waste for the Lakers. - Devean George - Vlade Divac - Aaron McKie Kupcake has been lousy in all areas of GM. Free agent signings, drafts, and trades. He doesn't have any vision on building this team and is banking on landing a superstar player. The two moves the Lakers should have made was ... 1) Sign Earl Watson for the MLE 2) Trade Bynum & George for Ron Artest PG - Watson SG - Kobe SF - Artest PF - Odom C - Kwame This starting 5 makes it to the WCF, and the Lakers probably go in as the 6th seed in the West.
I totally agree. Why did he bring in Aaron Mckie. and Vlade Divac... Man our manager does not know anything about basketball. I wonder what Kobe feels about him. He should become the manager of the lakers.
well, with pjax here, im pretty sure mitch wont be making any stupid mistakes with the MLE. doesnt the coach get a say too?
Yeah, Bulls would have matched for Duhon, and I don't think Spree even wants to play anymore, he probably wouldn't have turned out much better than McKie. Should have signed Watson like Shape said, and then trade Bynum, 2006 1st rounder, and George for Artest. Contenders right there.
