Mitch Kupchak Trades For Clippers
In an effort to bolster title hopes for LA's basketball team. Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak has made an unprecedented move and traded for the entirety of The Los Angeles Clippers roster. A trade that will send every player currently under contract with The Clippers to The Lakers in exchange for every player on The Lakers sans Kobe Bryant.
Clippers owner Donald Sterling had the following to say "It was a financial move, yes. This move is gonna save me a little more than two and a half million this year. If you go down to the shanty village and ask the average poor who enjoys clapper basketball if they'd trade a deep playoff run from their favorite basketball team for two and a half million dollars; I believe their answer would be the same as mine." When it was later pointed out to Mr. Sterling that he actually would take on an additional 2.6 million dollars in this move, he would not comment, instead he stared blankly at his open hands as he quivered.
Jerry Buss had quite a different disposition regarding the situation. "We wanted to be the best basketball team in LA so we traded for the best basketball team in LA. Simple as that."

Grizzlies To Charge Players Admission To Games
In a league that is as finance conscious as The NBA the latest move by Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera shouldn't come as a surprise. The league now one season removed from a lockout that had owners as some fans would call it, straight bitching, about regularly losing money is enter strange new territory. Grizzlies owner Robert Pera, starting February 13th, will begin charging players admission to Memphis Grizzlies games that the are scheduled to participate in.
The Grizzlies, who have recently shipped out a few people citing financial constraint as the main motivating factor, are steadfast in their decision. This brave new rule has already had unintended consequences. Grizzlies back up Power forward and general nobody, Jon Leuer has already scheduled a "DNP - Financial Reasons".
Robert Pera had the following to say, "Times is hard. These guys are getting courtside seats to these games the same as anyone else, I see nothing wrong with asking them to pay the same as anyone else." Mr. Pera went on to add; "We secretly began these tactics at the beginning of the month, charging our players for use of our practice facilities. We haven't seen Tony Allen in weeks."
