The 2023-2024 NBA Season

You are expressing anger at George Karl.

When he did what was best for his team instead of what was best for the Lakers.

Pretty narrow view.

To a certain kind of Laker fan, it's the only way to see it

You and @tlance miss the context or are you both just ignoring it?

The trade was proposed prior to Bynum's knees falling off and Odom going full Kardashian (never go full Kardashian).

Considering what happened to Bynum's knees and the issues Odom had after he was traded...yeah, it would have been disastrous for the Nugs and it proves the old adage that sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make, to be true.

But at the time it was discussed...there was nothing wrong with it. At that time it basically would have been trading an All-Star and a near All-Star for an All-Star and a near All-Star.

Antman points scored has been taken off the board because he has been saying he is shooting left handed the whole game.

 

[tlance]

And as I said, you, me and everyone else only know it worked out better for the Nuggets because of hindsight. At the time, that was a fair deal and Karl shut it down not because it was bad deal or wanting the best for his team, but more a fuck you to Carmelo Anthony.

And?

He was right.

Only thing that matters.

Pretty silly for you to be salty about it.

Gotta ignore the facts.

SMH.

Yes they'd be in good shape if he was defended in real games the way he is here

Lillards inability to defend fits right in here too

You've not bothered arguing whether the deal was better than what the Knicks gave them

I don't think there was a boatload of picks from the Lakers actually.

But it also makes way more sense to deal him to the East.

Depends on how you view the Knicks deal. It's not like either team did much after the trade. But msg and lance are trying to act like the deal with the Lakers was somehow heavily weighted towards the Lakers when it clearly wasn't.

Also, Karl wasn't "right"...he was a petty bitch who got lucky because of what became of Bynum and Odom's careers after the fact.

Really, the deal with the Knicks is hindsight as well because that wasn't the reason for Karl not wanting to make the deal with the Lakers.

Agree on it making more sense to send him East...but again, that apparently wasn't why Karl squashed the deal.

Pretty good All Star Game, the East won 104-89









Wait, there's another half? Oh dear.
