Probably the Timofey Mozgov and Deng contracts that did Mitch in.surprised they let Kupchak go as well, but I guess they are looking for a completely fresh start

Honestly...that's a bit disrespectful what they did to Mitch. At least let him go after the trade deadline. 30 years of service (including 5 championships) and they toss him out like he's fucking Matt Millen.

Yeah, I was kind of hoping they'd keep Mitch, even if in a different role. But end of the day, probably worth it to get rid of Jim.
I could have lived with mitch, but I won't lose any sleep with his departure.I think Trojan might be right, he probably became a Jim buss guy after Jerry passed. And Jeanie was just waiting to come in with some Magic. lol. Of course Mitch is well loved in LA, and he made a shit ton of money and can work anywhere, i dont feel that bad.
2012 the gift that keeps on giving or taking until 2020.Should be a mid-to-late first rounder from Houston depending on where they finish in the regular season, ALR. I hope we get a second rounder at some point this year if we do anymore trading before the end of business tomorrow. BTW here is what we are staring at the next three years. Looks like the Laers finishing in the top three and getting that pick after the drawing is becoming more important for future pick holdings. Maybe that is why in the back of everyone's minds, winning is not that important just yet.
2018 second round draft pick from Denver
Denver's 2018 2nd round pick to L.A. Lakers (via Utah to Chicago) [Denver-Golden State-Utah, 7/10/2013; Atlanta-Chicago-Utah, 2/18/2016; Chicago-L.A. Lakers, 7/7/2016]
2019 second round draft pick from Chicago
Chicago's 2019 2nd round pick to L.A. Lakers [Chicago-L.A. Lakers, 7/7/2016]
2017 first round draft pick to Philadelphia
L.A. Lakers' 1st round pick to Philadelphia (via Phoenix) protected for selections 1-3 in 2017 and unprotected in 2018 [L.A. Lakers-Phoenix, 7/11/2012; Milwaukee-Philadelphia-Phoenix, 2/19/2015]
2019 first round draft pick to Orlando
If the L.A. Lakers convey a 1st round pick to Philadelphia in 2017, then the L.A. Lakers will convey their 2019 1st round pick to Orlando; if the L.A. Lakers do not convey a 1st round pick to Philadelphia in 2017, then the L.A. Lakers will instead convey their 2017 2nd round pick and 2018 2nd round pick to Orlando [L.A. Lakers-Orlando, 8/10/2012]
2019 second round draft pick to Portland or Cleveland
Portland will receive the more favorable of the L.A. Lakers' 2019 2nd round pick (via Indiana to Cleveland) and Minnesota's 2019 2nd round pick (via Cleveland) and Cleveland will receive the less favorable of these two picks [Cleveland-Minnesota, 6/25/2015; Indiana-L.A. Lakers, 7/9/2015; Cleveland-Indiana, 7/23/2015; Cleveland-Portland, 7/27/2015]
Yea. You laid out a depressing analysis. No team should ever be at whim of ping pong balls or tanking for 8 damn years.Even if we secure our top three pick this draft year Tomodach, we lose our second rounders for the next three years with various contributions from those awful trades by Short Buss directing Mitch Kupchak. I suspect that some of this is feeding the urgency of Magic but he'd better get some help or we will be in a shithole for awhile.
