    These past five years haven't exactly been full of rest and relaxation for Los Angeles Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak. At this time back in 2004 Kupchak was taking a lot of heat for the Shaquille O'Neal trade that sent the Lakers back to the lottery for the first time in ten years. Patience was preached but no other franchise in sports is more accustomed to competing for a championship than the Lakers.

    It's a cool article saying some nice things about Mitch.

    Mitch probably took the biggest, epic crap of his life after Lakers won the title.

    Mitch sure did have a lot of pressure on him. He followed the Logo as the GM of the Lakers, and started off his tenure by trading Shaq. He got a lot of heat from Laker fans for a long time, but sure did put together one hell of a team. It looks like the core of this team will be together for several years now, so he can focus on the smaller fish and the future drafts.

    Good work Mitch.

    THat pretty much sums up Mitch's GM career. I hope it stays in the genius plateau.
