I think it's quite obvious that I'm not a Miami Heat fan by any means. I will say though, I enjoyed how Lakers fans on this board were flipping their shit over it. Funny how every major decision is "bad for the league" or "is destroying the legitimacy of basketball" unless it benefits the Lakers. Getting shady deals and winning undeserved championships is fine for basketball.

Im a diehard Lakers fan, but i hate super teams. When the whispers had D12 and CP3 going to LA i was NOT, repeat, NOT for it. On the other hand, landing one of those young talents would have been good, because the Lakers are aging, and very soon will have to make a semi-youth movement. So why the fuck wouldnt you do that with an established all-star if you could? Would you have verbally trashed the situation if it was those two going to the Kings? Highly doubt it. You are ridiculously biased, so much to the point where nobody here can really consider you a fan of the sport, league, whatever. |

Anywho, I think I am done discussing this with you. You make the exact same posts about the Lakers every damn year. I get it, you don't like them. |

How am I supposed to be not biased when the one chance my team actually had at a championship was unfairly taken away by biased officiating in favor of the largest market team in the league (The Lakers)? As a direct result of us not winning that championship, the Kings may be leaving my city as soon as next year. Why would I not hold a grudge about that? Of course I'm biased but it's not like I don't have history backing me up. If the Lakers didn't have a history of shady behavior (or at least a history of the NBA favoring them as a franchise because they make money) I wouldn't have anything to work off of.
I don't like the Lakers because they aren't subject to the same rules as every other team in the league. Why would I not hate a team that gets constant unfair advantages over and over again because of the amount of revenue they bring in? It's complete bullshit. All I've ever wanted was for the NBA to just be a fair and balanced display of competitive sport, not a popularity contest that rewards the colors that bring in the most cash. And of course I would want CP3 and Dwight on my team. I would want Pau Gasol on my team too, but it matters how these deals are made. I guarantee that if the Kings were in the situation the Lakers were and offered the same trade for Pau, that there is absolutely no fucking way it would've happened. EVER. Why do you think that is? The Hornets are a team owned by the NBA and were about to trade their best young asset for a slew of older mediocre players to the biggest market team in the league. Why do you think that is? It's complete horseshit. Coming off the heels of the lockout, which partly dealt with how smaller market teams are supposed to stay competitive with the large markets... we have a top 5 NBA player being traded from a small market (owned by the league) to the biggest market for mediocre players that are 30+ years old. What is anybody even doing if they let that happen? |

You're complaining about the 2002 Conference Finals (again) - Get over it
You're complaining about the Lakers wanting CP3 and D12 - It didn't happen, get over it. |

The thing is though, there's no real response to allegations of cheating or shady behavior because it's true. Nobody can really say anything besides things like "QQ" and "U Mad." It's all true and there's adequate documentation. You say I've said the same things before...
Yet nobody yet has come up with an adequate rebuttal. I mean, go ahead. Take a shot at it. Justify getting unfair advantages because of revenue. I'm listening. |

A lot of teams get unfair advantages in the NBA. Do you really think the Knicks drew the top spot in the NBA Draft when they took Patrick Ewing? I think that even the Cavaliers got a little bit of assistance from David Stern in getting the #1 pick this year for what happened to them and LeBron.

How many have won a championship because of it?
And I don't know if I agree about the Cavs this past year but who knows. That just seemed like horrible luck for the Clippers. |

Celtics alone got robbed twice when they were the worst or 2nd worst in recent past. They lost out on Tim Duncan who ended up going to San Antonio and then in the Durrant draft. Usually ends up being a team who needs the potential star power the most wins it rather than a really horrible team who needs it to improve. A lot more smaller market teams have benefited but even then only when the situation is in dire need than normal. |

Wish Dwight would go to Chicago. I need a new team now that the Blazers are rebuilding, and I loved rooting for them in the playoffs.

Worst fears about Jeff Green were confirmed as he needs heart surgery and will be out the entire season. They found an aortic aneurysm in his heart and could be similar to what Reggie Lewis had.

on another note...while the Lakers have made a wtf trade and got shafted by the commish with a simple 'no.', i like the small signings we have made. Under Phil, our rookies never got a chance to develop, but i think with Mike Brown he will play our youngins, and im stoked to see what Ebanks becomes.
Kinda bummed Caracter didnt stick though. |

All BS aside, I really can't wait for the NBA to start.
Lakers aren't the favorites and I'm ok with that. Just really anxious to see how the season plays out. |
