[...] Επιβράβευση για την ανάδειξη του Ισπανού σε έναν από τους καλύτερους ψηλούς στο ΝΒΑ, ήταν να τον χαρίσουν στους Lakers το 2008 για ένα καρβέλι ψωμί και κουπόνια για το super market. Επιτυγχάνοντας έτσι την πιο άδικη και αμφιλεγόμενη ανταλλαγή στην ιστορία, αφού όπως ακούγεται στην πιάτσα, “σπρώχτηκε” από “ψηλά” για να γίνει η εμπορική αναβίωση της τιτανομαχίας Lakers-Celtics. Σε αυτό δε νομίζω να διαφωνούσε ούτε ο Greg Popovich. [...]

Spurs are on the right track. I think they are cooking up one more move to get rid of 2 bench players for Raja bell with the help of his buddy Larry Brown.
With Bell playing with the Spurs, Kobe needs to come with an execuse to skip that series because we all know he wouldn’t want to play. Also, Phil, might wanna check into the hospital for a check up.

Line up with Ginobili, Jefferson, Duncan, Dice, Parker, there will be too much fire power, saviness, creativity and speed for the lakers to handle. This is absolutely match up nightmare for the Lakers.

“What they did in Spurs trade for Richard Jefferson is beyond comprehension,???” said Poopovich. There should be a trade committee that can scratch all trades that make no sense. I just wish I had been on a trade committee that oversees NBA trades. I’d like to elect myself to that committee. I would have voted no to the Spurs trade.???

(At least LA offered more talent all the Spurs offered were scrubs (role players) for Jefferson).

Maybe the “competion committe” should void the Spurs trade for Richard Jefferson. At least the Lakers aren’t complaining but then again Poopovich is classless and riding Duncan’s coat tails. It’s all luck (1% chance of winning lottery) and no talent. Poppovich only complains if it doesn’t work in his favor by his own ridiculous comment the competition committee should void the Richard. At least Kwame Brown can play unlike like Bruce “Assault Me” Bowen or Kurt “Over the Hill” “Might as Well Retire” Thomas.

– “Milwaukee Bucks traded Richard Jefferson to the San Antonio Spurs for Bruce Bowen and Kurt Thomas on Tuesday.”

In response to what Rey said, the tradeabonafidenflsuperstarforafreakin’4throundpick GM philosophy still blows my mind. Now, with Randy Moss there might have been questions about motivation…but Darrell Jackson? Jevan Walker the year before? I have to be missing something here…
