What he said is true though, Dumars is a shitty GM. What was the purpose for the personal attack?

It was a joke, I'm a Lions fan too.

But I'll defend Dumars as a GM. He took Detroit out of the mediocrity of the teal years to a championship, back to back finals trips, and 6 trips to the Eastern Conference Finals. There are maybe only 4-5 other active GM's with a better resume than that.

For every bad move he's made, I can counter with 3 good ones.

Why did the Bucks sign Zaza when they already have Sanders, Henson, and Illyasova?

Do they hate their fans and good players or something?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Said no one ever...

Well, except Greivis Vasquez.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Fuck the Hawks for going after Monta after getting Millsap. Millsap (and Korver and DMC) deserves better.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Is this for fucking real? LOL

Udoh as well

Udoh as well

Udoh has always been garbage and you already knew it from the time he was drafted.

Amazing article from Woj:

Rockets give Dwight Howard what Lakers, Kobe wouldn't: unconditional love

No restraints, no mercy, no holding back. Kobe Bryant had climbed into Howard in a way that was startling, sobering, a moment of penetrating and unpleasant truths.

"Kobe talked to Dwight in a way that I don't think anyone one had ever talked to him – not in Orlando, not here, not in his life, I'm betting," one witness in the room told Yahoo! Sports. "He's been coddled, and Kobe wasn't going to coddle him."

Every executive and coach who has ever worked with Howard will tell you: He needs to be the face of the franchise and he needs unconditional love. Those weren't immediately available to him with the Lakers, and they'll be showered upon him in Houston now.

When Howard called Morey on Friday night to tell him he planned to play for the Rockets, he promised nothing but hard work and championship drive. No more free agency, no more drama, no more excuses. Howard chose Houston for himself, and there's no more blaming Kobe Bryant and Mike D'Antoni, Otis Smith and Stan Van Gundy.

 

[victreeb3l]

did howard not get enough love from his parents or some shit? hes like a delicate fucking flower

also i find it funny last year lin was supposed to be the face of the rockets. then a month later it was harden and now howard and lin is like the 3rd string PG or some shit. still get payed tho so i doubt he gives any fucks.

Damn Dwight really wasn't the guy to lead a big market franchise. Guess Houston will give him all the hugs and kisses he wants.

Also lol.

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA
I love that Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard unfollowed each other. High schoolers will tell you, it's not an official break-up until unfollow.

Probably the opposite they probably babied the shit out of him until the point where he can't function if he isnt feeling loved because he always had mommy and daddy telling him he was the best little boy in the entire world.

 

[brianjones]

dwight championship drive ? Lol

 

[The Frankman]

Toronto is having an excellent offseason as well. And then there's those poor, poor Knicks...

Signed Priggy Smalls and Jr., decent draft w/ THJr. and a potential gem in Leslie. I ain't killing the off-season due to one headscratcher.

 

[Officerrob]

That article couldn't make Dwight sound any softer.

 

[Dominican Power]

Dwight Coward is so bitchmade. LOL @ that James Harden slander. Dude is a willing passer and can run the pnr. He'll be much more efficient next year now that he doesn't have to take that many shots.

 

[ridethepiggy]

the only drive dwight has is making sure everyone likes him.

 

[DominoKid]

the only drive dwight has is making sure everyone likes him.

he's not very good at that.

 

[R-User!]

Get Slava Medvedenko on the phone.

Where's Mark Madsen?

 

[HenryHSH]

Jason Kidd has to know that Deron Williams is nowhere near as good as he was, right?

 

[Derwind]

Howard just wants to be loved.

He just needs to remember Bejing Ducks. That future can be arranged.

They really need a scared straight program for these NBA bitchmade players. A program they could cover in the offseason.

Howard is just part of this trend of general bitchassness that's everywhere these days in the media....

 

[TheKaeptain]

Odom Bynum and Fisher should all go back. Be the best tank ever.

Just don't get AMMO or the Lakers will chip again.

 

[Emwitus]

Team bynum! Might as well tank in style!

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Where's Mark Madsen?

He is an assistant coach for the Lakers.

 

[Dominican Power]

Howard has made Pau look immensely better in the eyes of Lakers fans who have taken him for granted.

So Kobe being douche in meeting, yeah we got it.

Maybe dwight will teach lakers fans some humility and appreciation for what they have...... probably not though......

There are maybe only 4-5 other active GM's with a better resume than that.

In no particular order:

RC Buford
Daryl Morey
Mitch Kupchak
Pat Riley
Masai Ujiri
Danny Ainge
Sam Presti
Chris Wallace
Neil Olshey
Larry Bird
Bob Myers
Flip Saunders

 

[Future PhaZe]

The Los Angeles Lakers have reached out to Lamar Odom to gauge the free agent's thoughts on returning.

lol

Fuck it bring back Farmar and Sasha too.

Kobe going to show how much you can obtain with friendship and the will to win.

If they actually manage to pull that, i would be cheering for the Lakers for the first time in my life.

Is this Naruto or some shit now?

 

[linsivvi]

If it's veteran min, why not? They only have 10 players on the roster assuming they bring back Sacre and sign the 2nd round pick. They have no choice but to pick up a few players anyway.

 

[Vic]
