Re: George Karl "I was so angry about the trade...."
It is kind of ridiculous that the Lakers add a new top-20 player like every season, and don't ever have to give up anything close to fair value. Remember when they got Pau Gasol for free when he was perhaps top 10?
And now they just added a top 5 one and gave up a top........ 30 player? Maybe? And oh yeah got a top 5 PG too, ho-hum.

its easy when top 5 players will not accept trades to 28 of the other teams. the lakers dont have to bid against anyone else. just gotta make the salary numbers work and they can keep doing this ever year.

well, for Kwame and the rights to Marc Gasol (even though it wasn't apparent how good he was at the time)
Lakers = Yankees...both will always be the star quarterback of a HS that will win every popularity contest and get all the girls
