Mark Long Beach Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 As a laker fan: this is humiliating. Mitch Kupchak should be beaten with a rubber hose. Repeatedly. We could have gotten him for a box of stale crackers. Much less given up Caron Butler who can play! Unbelievable. Phil Jackson will hit him upside the head if he even looks like he's getting out of his chair firmly which is bolted as last on the depth chart. Phil will play a rookie more than this discarded lump. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 You shouldn't hate. 381758[/snapback] Why not? Fear Leads to Anger. Anger leads to hate. And as we all know, Hate leads to the Dark Side, which is pretty damned cool if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finknottle Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 The topic on Washington area sports talk radio today has been "Was Kwame the worst pick in Washington sports history?" ha-ha-ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I am saying it right here right now.....just so I can come back and gloat... This was a smart move to get a former number 1 pick in the draft who needs the RIGHT kind of motivation to bring out his freakish talent..... It isn't very often that you can trade a small for a big.......much less one with Kwame's potential.....so when you have the opportunity you do it.... Caron and Kobe play the same spot and since Odom is going to his natural spot... This is a smart insightful move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puhonix Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Last year's headline was Shaq going to Miami... a trade that everyone agrees can never be a positive for the Lakers. And now this summer, they want to make more headlines by trading for... well, Kwame Brown. I almost feel bad for Devean George, he could have been traded away, but Atkins went instead.

I do not know the NBA that well, but do follow the Bullets. If your the Lakers you make this trade if for no other reason than the track record of ex- Washington players when they traded. Lets see, Rasheed Wallace Richard Hamilton Ben Wallace Chris Webber(another big for small-young for old trade) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puhonix Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Agree with this. I do not know the NBA that well, but do follow the Bullets. Im glad you follow the bullets, but if you followed the Wizards at all, you'll realize that none of this backs up the abilities of Kwame Brown. The other players you listed had a solid career in college before going into the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Kwame Brown? Seriously?HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Man, I hate the NBA. 381699[/snapback] Kwame Brown isn't worth two cents.

It's rather amazing that the so called Wizards got anything of value for this sorry ass. 382991[/snapback] That's another problem with the NBA. Why on earth would they purposely name a team "Wizards"? That's horrible! How did that happen? "Alright, we need a name with some street cred. I got it - Wizards! That sounds like a classy name for a group of athletes. OK, now for some colors...Everyone likes teal and yellow right? With big cartoon font? Great!"

John from Riverside Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Yeah, Kobe is known for his ability to motivate people.. 382216[/snapback] Actually....I am not talking about Kobe here....I am talking about Phil Jackson. It really is this simple...... - Shaq COULD NOT STAY.....Shaq is getting older and is no where NEAR the dominant player he has been in years past....he came in last year in the best shape he has been in for the last 3 years.....and STILL wasn't dominating and got hurt again......he is on the downside of his career. I equate this a lot to the Travis Henry situation where Shaqs enormous ego and mouth made it difficult to trade him for much more then the lakers got. - The lakers are over the cap and rebiulding.....in order to get back into contention quick they HAVE to take some risks.....there were simply no big men to trade for what we have as tradebait EXCEPT for a high reward/high risk player like Kwame Brown.....Bynam isn't going to be ready for a while. The lakers are taking a risk......but if it works out they will look like.....well....THE LAKERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
