The last decade the only team that's been relevant is the Lakers. I'm not concerned about the Lakers offseason moves, you're in for several years of mediocrity until Kobe retires and frees up that cap space...and you get rid of Bynum.

Sound jelly to me. Lakers recently won 2 straight, Galaxy won cup last year, Kings about to win it all. No other place has that much local success right now.

Not really. I'm a bit jealous of the Spurs success. I don't really look at big market teams that win as anything special. When you just get stars going to your team because of the market that doesn't take any discipline.

I respect teams that build through the draft and are smart. I loved New Orleans when they were good with CP3. I like how Dallas won it. I despise what New York did and I love that it has been a disaster.

Kobe - draft
Bynum - draft
Griffin - draft
Pau - trade
CP3 - trade

Nah, not really. I mean the city itself is one of the greatest cities in the world. I love it, but the people and sports fans here are fake as hell. I mean its posers and douchebags everywhere. Others that live here can vouch for that, and people only care about the teams when they are winning. Otherwise they couldn't give a damn. Its amazing how entitled people feel around here.

Just this year alone, its amazing how many Kings and Clipper "fans" have suddenly appeared.

The city is awesome, and the Staples Center is a awesome arena. I've been to many games and the atmosphere is always great, but its just the people. About 99.9% of people that you see wearing Angels, Dodgers or Laker caps are just wearing it for style. You see snapbacks from all types of teams and leagues, but they don't know a damn thing about them because they're just following a stupid trend. Everyone of them thinking they looks unique, hip and different.

But hey, you can't have it all. There are tools and douchebags in every city. L.A as a whole is pretty laid back, and I love it. And I can assure you no one gives a damn about soccer here. Beckham or no Beckham.

I'll give you Bynum and Griffin. Kobe draft? He basically forced the Hornets to trade him. There is a reason teams passed on him.

Bynum was actually a pretty good pick. Clippers got lucky with Griffin but can't hate there. Cp3 forced his way out to the Clipps. The Pau trade was a ridiculous at the time and LA got the better deal.

2 championships is more than Marc Gasol.
