Yeah i said it. Why do i say it? Here are my reasons and i don't care if you agree or don't.
1. We don't even have a full season! We barely got a season so you would think they want to make sure they get all the money from fans as they possibly could. NOPE! They rather keep prices too fucking high for tickets (no where near the court). Then do trades like we have a full season still! Seriously?!
2. Trades in a shitty less than half a season is bullshit! Let the players fucking play with their team! If someone really wanted to be traded then do a trade per their request but don't sit up here and keep the same trade deadlines! And stop putting people on the trade table that don't need to be there! You can't fucking "rebuild" a team this season. Wait till its over, its going to be fucking over in 2 minutes anyways! These guys are playing long and hard and you want to start pushing them to a new team where they will barely know their teammates before the shit season is over?! Seriously?!
3. Fuck Mitch Kupcheck! Yeah i said it! He is playing fast and loose with his players trying to make a dollar anyway he can. Who is paying for this? Laker fans. First Odom, now Fisher. We got a whole fucking bench of players who aren't doing shit for us and you want to trade starters and vets? Seriously?! It doesn't matter that i'm Fisher's number one fan. The man was here 1) to get the best medical care for his daughter, and 2) so he could retire as a Laker because that's what he wanted to do and EVERYONE KNEW THIS!!! FUCK, he is the got damn President of the Player's Association! You couldn't give him the rest of this shitty season and probably of his career with the team he loves?! SERIOUSLY?! Waste of fucking time and money! The man has to fucking pick up his family and move to Houston and get ready to play with a team he doesn't even know, let alone who doesn't even DESERVE HIM! People are wondering what's wrong with Odom, why isn't he playing good? WTF DO YOU THINK IS WRONG WITH HIM?! He got put on the table and didn't even know he was an option...stabbed in the back. THEN you decide last minute to take him off the table because of the HUGE uproar over it and guess what...seconds later you fucking trade him to a team that doesn't deserve him! And you fucking wonder WHY he isn't playing very well? You wonder why his heart isn't in it? Hmmm i wonder?! No amount of money fixes being stabbed in the back by someone who you thought had your back. And don't even get me started on what they did to Brian Shaw!
4. Fuck David Stern! He has proven time and time again to be all about money at any cost. Maybe he owes some mafia people i don't know. Maybe he lost some bets in Vegas? Maybe he is just a douche? Him and some of the owners are definitely douches. It's all about the money to them and they will do whatever it takes and screw over whoever they want to get that dollar. I mean look at the Miami deal...case and point. I am tired of giving my hard earned money to the NBA. I am tired of supporting a system that keeps screwing it's fans over. I'm tired of supporting a system that doesn't give a fuck about it's players and treats them like pawns. Let the guys fucking play! Let the fans fucking cheer for their team without blowing a car payment! The madness this has become is just mind blowing!
Don't get it twisted, i'm still a Lakers fan...loosely at the moment...but i'm done watching them this season. I still love pro basketball but I'm done with it this season. They have done nothing to earn my money, viewership, nor respect.
Those of you who are like "well they have to rebuild" bla bla bla about the Fisher trade, think of it like this: Say Kobe or Jordan (back in his day) were like 20 games away from retiring at the end of the season and they traded them to a loser team so he didn't have a huge chance of retiring with the team he loved, with the fans he loved, with the city he loved and did so much for on that team. How would you feel then? Especially after all the lockout drama. Could you really be ok with it and not want to say "Fuck this!"??? That's how i feel and i'm sorry but no one can change my mind about it.
