    Given that Memphis essentially handed them last year's title with that Gasol Trade?

    Once again, Phil Jackson shows his true colors as a little whiny bitch when he doesn't get his way. What a fuckhead.

    It is hypocritical. Essentially this is how the Lakers acquired Fisher after the Jazz waived him.

    Doc Rivers made similar comments he liked it when it helped the Celtics, but now he hates it.

    No, just as Andrew Bynum had no room to complain about the officiating during the Dallas game. No franchise in the history of mankind has gotten more gifts from officiating than the Los Angeles Lakers. What a joke.

    At the same time I think the league really needs to address the trade rules. Basically it is a direct circumvention of the cap, which is against league rules. Unfortunately, the league has been letting teams (San Antonio has done this multiple times) for years, and the precedent has been set.

    Not really, but the 30 day rule is really weak, and it's ridiculous that Z is going to (most likely) be back on his team again soon.

    Im pretty sure Phil is talking tongue and cheek. Right after the trade deadline he was asked about all the transactions....and then specifically about the Jamison trade...he blew that trade off and said he only cared about the trades in the Western Conference...

    He says LOTS of things sarcastically that wouldnt transfer to print....If there is a video of this quote I bet you he is cracking a smile through all of it

    He is probably just wanting Greg Popovich to hear his quote! :ghoti:

    Oh did you guys overlook where Greg took back his critical comments about the Pau trade?

    I wonder if Phil still smudges the Laker locker room before each game.

    I hope Paul Allen dumps a yacht load of money on Phil's feet to coach us next year. That way, these quotes will become funny because he's saying them as our coach.

    Marc Gasol turned out pretty good. Cap space also allowed them to get All-Star Zach Randolph for nothing. They also got 2 first round picks in the deal and the cap space they created allowed them to get another from Denver. It was a solid trade for Memphis.

    Trading a player for another player and then having that player waived only to re-sign that player is a completely different situation. And for the folks saying that this is the same as the Derek Fisher situation a couple years back...ridiculous. Fisher played 2 seasons in Golden State and 1 in Utah before he ASKED to be waived so he could be closer to his daughter's doctor. (it cost him $8 million to do so by the way.) It's not even CLOSE to the same situation.

    But I can think of at least one other time this exact scenario has happened. Stacey Augmon anyone?

    In retrospect the Pau trade was pretty damn good for Memphis. Two huge expirings, Marc Gasol (good young starting C), Javaris Crittenton (good prospect at the time, turned out being a bust though), and two first round picks.

    money talks, and bullshit walks. There's no coaches salary cap.

    If you're Phil Jackson, imagine this. You've won 10 titles (maybe 11), and people still give you shit about always going to teams that are pre-prepared. Now is your chance to prove it with a team that doesn't have arguably 1 or 2 of the best players in the league, and if you can make them a winner? You'd basically cement yourself as the best coach in all of sports. Period.

    Do all that AND be paid 20 million? That'd be hard to pass up.
