Did anyone doubt that he'd end up in LA after all the dust settled? Luckiest franchise in league history by far.

Luckiest? Please... luck is a lame ass excuse. Reputations are earned and once you've got a reputable one, players will flock to play.

just saw this on rotoworld:

David Lee, the agent for Lakers center Andrew Bynum, said he hasn't heard from the Cavaliers regarding the rumored three-team trade involving Dwight Howard, the Cavs and Lakers.

He went on to say that he was "baffled" by the reports of the possible trade, suggesting that nothing is happening if Bynum's not involved in the discussions. Chris Broussard and Ric Bucher are both reporting that a Dwight-to-Lakers, Bynum-to-Cavs deal is a distinct possibility, but this is also an indication that talks are probably still in their infancy. And on a final note, reporter Jason Lloyd says he got the impression from talking to Lee that Bynum was not interested in signing with Cleveland long term, if a deal were to go down.

If you win a coin toss you are lucky. If you consistently win titles for 50 years that is called excellence. LA has had an owner willing to spend and great GMs bringing in talent. LA is a great city that players want to play in. LA doesn't settle for mediocrity. It's not the Lakers fault that most of the other teams in the league don't have these things. Anyone who wants to contribute their success to luck is a f**king hater simple and plain.

How is having the smarts to draft Bynum and watch him become the second best center in the league only to trade him for the best center in the league luck?
