The only thing that comes close to my pleasure of seeing the Rockets succeed... is watching the Lakers lose... so win win!
We should all thank Commissioner Stern. If it weren't for him, we'd be stuck with the lesser Gasol, maybe Nene...but no Harden and certainly no Howard. Thank you, David Stern.
The Clutch City Severus Snape. He had our best interest in mind and we didn't even know it. We only realized it on Draft Day when he hugged The Dream. Stern was on our side the whole time... the whole time... smh...
Tbh its pretty scary to think about what could have been. Long live "basketball reasons". Basketball reasons man.
when people say stuff like "the lakers dont need/want a player that cant handle the LA spotlight" its their defense mechanism for when their egos are abused.. way to pat themelves on the back for being lakers fans.. what other city could get away with claiming another cities championships like they do..
Yeah, LA has such great fans. Lakers fans show-up at halftime and are there to be seen. The NFL has done everything but beg them PLEASE take a team...and they are too busy improving on Houston smog and traffic.
When they had this guy gift wrapped and delivered to Hollywood, he left when he knew that all that glitters was NOT Purple and Gold. People the Lakers nation should thank... 1. Jim Buss - where do I even begin to start. Hiring of Mike Brown instead of Shaw; Firing Mike Brown, and giving PJackson the finger and then hiring the most overrated coach in recent History in Pringles... 2. Kobe - greatest guard to ever play the game for the Lakers; but could not exist peacefully with dominant big men. Worked well with Pau, bc he was willing to take Kobe's ish 3. Sam Presti - had arguably one of the best Western conference cores, that shouldve won a title with Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, and Harden, instead got hoodwinked by Daryl Morey. That trade will go down as one of the greatest robberies in NBA history(greater than Pau from memphis)... 4. Their prestigious HOF's...maybe it is the arrogance of winning 16...maybe, but it cost them arguably the best big in the game...they let go of Bynum for this guy, and he left them high and dry...bc none of the Lakers bigs really worked with Howard...Nobody was brought in to help improve his game... Thank you Laker fans, Thank you Thunder fans, your trash is our treasure...Go Rockets, go Clutch/fans, go city of Houston...Clutch city is back baby....
Stern "saved" Youston by denying our team based on another teams needs. Most were upset with the precedent rather than the particulars (which sucked donkey balls).
I love seeing the Lakers mad, but I'm guessing you guys would be reacting similarly in their position. I mean, Dwight does seem like a complete tool and I'm guessing most of you would feel the same way if hadn't just signed with your team.
