They lost in 2008, in part because of the Spaniard. But no, they don't win back to back in 2009 and 2010 without his efforts. Still, when it came time to ditch him it was time. There came a point where there was just too much flop. Yeah Jerry was angry that Dr. Buss went behind his back and struck a deal and threatened to quit if he went through with the deal, but from what I remember the Mavs' owner wanted out of it as well. Should also note that BScott was in the Worthy/Tarpley/Aguirre deal as well. Dr. Buss was losing his marbles.
Worthy is my all time fave. Even at the end of his run, which..ok, swapping him for early 90's Barkley would've been a solid move at that point. Still, the Worthy fan in me would've rejected all logic
had the quickest first step in the game arguably all time loved when he'd catch the ball in the post then turn around to face the defender they had literally no chance
Got my dates fucked up. I was referring to the last championships. Doc might have been on skank overload at that point of his life.
Man, the Bulls could've offered Jordan for Worthy in '92 and I would've been like " uuuuh, can't we figure out how to get this done without Big Game James? " Smh
It really wasn't until I left LA that I realized how special both were. I took it for granted that the local announcers were as good or better than the national guys. It never occurred to me that local guys normally suck.
always loved when an away crowd would start in with the beat la shit chick would sarcastically say "oh these fans are coming up with a very original chant"...
So Jimmy Butler has requested a trade, preferred teams are Knicks, Nets or Clippers Looking to hook up with Kyrie next season Well there's one team in the west I'm not worried about, but at least they signed Deng
Did you remain a Lakers fan when LeBoner joined the roster? for me that is a larger pill to swallow than Durant joining the team. Nowadays with the GG acquisition of the Dodgers I prefer to consider the Yankees perspective... buy ALL of the great players and Win. Win now. Win next year. Set up a culture of winning by purchasing the best talent possible. Every time they are available. Let the other small market teams worry about salary caps. So I guess I'll cheer for LeBoner so long as we play for a Ring. Same with Durant. Highly paid pro's must produce results. At once.
I didn't hate LeBron. I have little respect for Kevin "if you can't beat 'em join 'em" Durant despite his talent. Thin skinned bitch.
Mychal changing his tune on Klay/Lakers? But he could be working the leverage angle so GSW doesn't think they're just getting Klay back for any old price. Golden State Warriors shooting guard Thompson has been linked with a stunning move to the Lakers. And despite insisting he wants to be a Warriror for life, his father has said he should move closer to home - in LA. Mychal Thompson, who won two NBA championships with the Lakers in his five seasons in LA, reckons his side would be fine with taking a back seat to James, who moved from Cleveland in the biggest trade deal this summer. “You are talking about guys for whom pecking order becomes really important,” Mychal told ESPN. “The perception of how people are going to look at you is important for these guys. “If Klay came to L.A., which he should, then he knows he is going to slot in behind LeBron. “But it is fine because he has done it before , it is not a big deal.”
So Towns wants Butler gone or else he wants out too Smh Both of these guys are trying to get out of Minnesota Lol, going to be really interesting..their owner said everybody's available, not just Butler. Towns would probably enjoy going to hometown NYC, maybe prefers Brooklyn so he can play with BFF Dangelo, but I wonder if Brooklyn would swap Dangelo and Butler somehow, bringing Dangelo back west to Minny? Phoenix still sniffing around as well for Towns TWolves can go so many different ways, but they can't stand pat
