Popovich is a whiny baby!

Or holding out David Robinson when he was healthy to get a shot at the number one pick...Tim Duncan.....


Translation to Pop's comments "Wah wah wah...I really wanted to win a back to back championship, just once...wah wah wah.

I love Iavaroni's response. "I don't read into anyone else's comments..."

LOL. What exactly is between the lines in Pop's comments?

Iavaroni is all class.

 

I agree with the point of what he said. That trade was unconscionable.

 

Just because no GM and coach dare to say the truth and Pop said it, that doesnt mean he is a whiny baby.

dont you agree this is one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history? and someone in the Grizzlies has the audacity to say they arent dumping contracts...

 

When was the last time a star calibur was traded for a known scrub?

 

Ummm, no, the most lopsided trade would be the Rockets trading Roy Rogers for Scottie Pippen. And yes, he's a whiny baby. Maybe this GM should "dare to say the truth" about how he held David Robinson out so they could get Tim Duncan. This trade is FAR from the most lopsided deal in history. It's idiotic to even make that comment. Popovich is just coming off like a baby because he hates the fact that the Lakers have emerged as a contender in the West. Where was he to complain about the Garnett deal? Or the Shaq to Miami deal? Or even the Shaq to Phoenix deal?

 

Pippen to the Rockets for Roy Rogers. Plus, people conveniently ignore the capspace Memphis saved and the draft picks they gained. How about Barkley being traded to Phoenix for Hornacek, Perry and god knows who else? It happens.

 

Or how about the fact that Gasol is not a star.

Well, he wasn't in Memphis. Somehow the exact same player that pussed around the league the last 7 years is now great.

I am guessing if we would have traded Gasol to Minnesota for Theo Ratliff this trade would not be so harshly judged.

 

I don't see the big deal. He expressed his opinion about a trade.

 

Who was Baron Davis traded for?
Who was Allen Iverson traded for?

 

The New Jersey Nets said the Grizzlies had better offers. Their President, Rod Thorn said this:

"Pau Gasol, [the Grizzlies] were looking for expiring contracts, period. They had seven better offers than [what] they took. They were looking for expiring contracts. We don't have one of those."

 

If it's not the homer for the crap team coming in to try and justify his crap team's crap decision.

This is what happens when you have a dumbass team in a random city with no fans.

 

LoL its idiotic for u to NOT read by post. i said its ONE of the most, not THE most.
the TWolves net a quality big man and the suns got a hall of famer who would be dangerous if motivated. how can i describe Kwame Brown? He is neither a quality big man nor is he motivated.
they are moving Gasol simply to dump contracts, but i think the Rockets alone can make a better offer for a border-line allstar POST PLAYER than the lakers. AND some teams out there are so desperate for a low post player, its very hard for me to imagine no other teams can come up with a better deal than Kwame + picks

 

until the day that we meet again, I will consider popovich an ally. thank you for scola.

 

A 20-10 guy should be able to get you more than two low first round picks.

 

So where was the out rage when Zach Randolph was handed to New York? For less than what we got for Gasol even...

 

Pfffftttt....

If Pops had the chance to get Pau for bags of peanuts, he'd do the trade in a heartbeat also.

The fact is the Spurs don't have the pieces to make a big trade without giving up any of their Big 3, and Pops is just being a hypocritical whiny biatch cause he knows repeating this year is getting to be more and more of a remote chance with the rest of the West getting stronger, not to mention later seasons when the Spurs will get older and older.

 

Is this the same GM whose team is dying on the vine as we speak. Maybe he should have dumped contracts before giving $60 million to Vince Carter and keep a kung fu grip on Jason Kidd just so they can have the pleasure of getting their brains beat out by the Celtics, IF they even make the playoffs.

 

Translated: This guy must be lying because he is associated with a losing team.


Chris Wallace, on the other hand, is a trustworthy winner!
