Considering what we know now about Dwight I don't think him and CP3 would have worked out.
But yeah that trade Mitch pulled off was brilliant, if not for the league conspiring against us shyt would have gone through.

Chris Broussard and Dr. Peter Vankmen.
at the ridiculous bow tie and the cheap mismatched suit combo.
broke even how?I'd say Mitch broke even in terms of his career as GM cuz I can remember full well what it was like when he would never do shyt and we shytted on him something serious. But, the Ariza move, the Gasol trade, the S Breezy move, were all very good moves and moves we would of never expected from Mitch prior so the good thing is Mitch can keep growing on the job but its obvious he still got bonehead ways about him. Makes you wonder how different shyt would of ended up had Dr. Buss of sold Logo a piece, we might of kept Shaq, may not of had Phil for as long, but considering that Magic sold his shares it makes you wonder if the wrong Laker was given a share to after all.
I thought Peter Vankmen wasChris Broussard and Dr. Peter Vankmen.

Probably because after every move we might have disliked at that time, a roster was built that went to three straight NBA Finals and won back to back championships?broke even how?

His moves in the 07-08 season were great, but it quickly went down hill from there. We had one of the youngest teams in 09. 2 years later we were one of the oldest.I'd say Mitch broke even in terms of his career as GM cuz I can remember full well what it was like when he would never do shyt and we shytted on him something serious.

Another thing I forgot to add. The FO fukked up the Dwight situation. By February it was clear that Dwight wasn't going to re-sign with us. They should have traded him to New Jersey for draft picks. The deal Boston got for KG and Pierce should have been ours.Lets take a look at some of the moves Mitch made over the years
He let the team around Shaq and Kobe get old. The Lakers lacked youth and athleticism, but he thought Kobe and Shaq were good enough to win rings on their own. He then made the same mistake years later with the Kobe and Pau teams. Even the years we won championships we always had one of the worst benches in the entire league.
Signed Devean George to a 4 year contract. What made this deal worse was he used the MLE to sign him instead of using his Bird rights.
Traded Shaq to Miami for Odom, Caron and Brian Grant. - Awful trade. We could have gotten a lot more for Shaq at the time.
Traded Gary Payton, Rick Fox and a first round draft pick for Chucky Atkins, Jumaine Jones and Mihm. (That draft pick turned into Rajon Rondo.)
Traded Caron Butler for Kwame Brown. Then extended him to a 25mil/3yrs.
Signed Vladimir Radmanvic to a 30 mil/5 yr deal
Re-signed Luke Walton to a 30 mil/6 yr deal
Signed old washed up players like Mckie, Divac, Rider etc etc etc to contracts instead of signing younger players.
Traded our 2009 first round pick to the Knicks for a second round pick.
Signed a 30 year old Ron Artest to a 36 mil/ 5yr deal
Traded Sasha Vujacic and a first round pick for Joe Smith and 2 second round picks
Traded Lamar Odom and a second round pick for a top 20 protected first round pick. (Lamar was coming off the best year of his career. They could have gotten a lot more for him)
Refused to trade Pau after the Chris Paul deal was nixed. Turned down Scola, Kevin Martin, first round picks and Dragic for Pau.
Traded 4 draft picks for a 38 year old Steve Nash then signed him to a 28mil/ 3yr deal
Hired Mike Dantoni, Rudy T and Mike Brown.
How can we forget how he fukked up the 2003 draft? The Laker scouts had Barbosa and Josh Howard ranked higher than Luke Walton and Brian Cook, but Mitch went against what they said and still drafted Cook and Walton, because he thought they would fit the triangle better.
This fool wanted to draft a fat undersized power forward in Sean May 10th when Monta Ellis, Brandon Bass, Bynum, Granger and David Lee were still on the board.

So is the plan really to sign Melo, IDK it seems like this may be the case. Can we get Melo and Love with the new CBA? IDK about this.
Was thinking the same thing. Those two would have to take a paycut and that's without factoring in the payroll for the rest of the team unless Lakers going over the cap (those w/ Bird rights).
Dr. Buss was always willing to spend
No we can't. We only have one max slot left.
That Laker Reporter is useless. He doesn't know what he is talking about.
Yo you niccas seen the shot this BUM ass dude Pau Gasol just took at Kobe's extension?? 
Since when did Pau get
