Nah dude. We started trading away picks and giving away young talent in 2010. That was the start of our downfall. The only player change from the 09 roster to 2010 was Ariza for Artest.

yeah right
I'm fine with you not knowing what the fukk you're talking bout...I mean he's playing with a fairly possession dominant point guard right now (yeah of course they suck, but it's not because of offensive conflict between nash and kobe), it's not like you get 9ast a game by not controlling the rock...and kobe is having one of his best offensive years of his career...you put Chris Paul on the lakers last year and they have a legitimate shot at beating the thunder...kobe at his age is better served not being the primary ball handler and playermaker on the team...they lost two games that series because of him struggling with it in late game situations
Pau for Love. What year was that 2011? Another fukk up.Mitch not trading Pau this offseason might be the worst decision Mitch has made during his whole tenure with us. Might be worse than trading Butler for Kwame.
Even when he was on the decline, teams were lining up to get him. Trades like Pau for Millsap and Harris, Pau for Smith, but Mitch wanted too much, Pau for Iggy, Pau for Boozer might be a better deal now, Pau for Rondo rumor too during last season before the trade deadline too, but that one was not gonna happen, but Mitch had so many fukking opportunities to trade Pau for an All Star and get younger. Mitch
very badly. Now we can't get anywhere of an even trade and getting an All Star anytime soon.

they were never doing that. That was what LA wanted if y'all took the 2nd pick off our hands.

Damn brehs, is it possible that Bynum carried us to the 3rd seed last year with an even worse roster.
I miss him

Now y'all realize why I stanned him so much while y'all(not you in particular but most of the lwo) took every chance y'all got to take a shot at him. Dude carried us.

Yeah I always had love for Drew, if it wasn't for injuries I would have never wanted the Dwight trade. Get well soon young Drew, hopefully we can take solace in the 76ers causing havoc in the playoffs.
Speaking of Farmar, we couldn't have done a trade or signed him to a possible vet minimum? He in Jordan playing overseas right now, he is still a very good back-up. He was supposed to be our PG that was gonna get next once Fisher would be relegated to the bench, never happened. 
For the short term, getting Artest for Ariza was smart because Artest would be able to guard the big SF's we would face like Pierce, Melo, etc. But, after getting that 1 ring, Artest went straight to hell Long-term wise, Ariza should have been our glue guy for the future. And than we had the Killer B's off the bench with Shannon, Barnes, Blake. We gotta think long-term, but they won't be doing that anytime soon. We had a hell of a run, but the league has caught up to us, players are more athletic, faster, and better than ever. It was bound to happen to us. Just didn't think it would happen so soon.

But Kobe is still dominating the ball even with Nash at the point. Nash is Derek Fisher status right now. Dribble the ball up, get it to Kobe and post up in a corner. Its all good though
It's not even that he's passive to just Kobe. He's passive to everyone. He's force feeding Sacre for fukking sakes. I don't know why he's not trying to be aggressive.

Maybe I'm crazy, but if we could just unload Pau for two or three solid energy/hustle guys I think we can sneak into the playoffs. Kobe, Dwight, Nash with a couple guys that play hard and know their role. Problem is I don't know if we can get that.

I don't even know what to say about this..
Bynum woulda snuffed someone if he was here.

If I had time I would pull up quotes from those who wanted Pau to stay here. How could you guys not see he was done in 2010? Aside from game 7(he shot 6-16 btw), he was pure ass. But to want him to stay in 2012-13 is absolutely absurd.
