Lakers Eliminated!

Not that it was any surprise, I just can't get over it. And now they are lottery bound. If I had to blame anyone for this, I'd blame Mitch Kupchak. I thought he was suppose to be this up-and-coming general manager, student of Jerry West's but he has made some bad calls. First off he shouldn't have gotten rid of Shaq (even though Shaq was being a butt about his contract extension). But if you are going to trade him, get something in return. I tried to look at the upside of the trade, Lamar Odom, Brian Grant, and Caron Butler but in the end it still a lopsided trade. Should have, at the very least, gotten some expiring contracts to free up the salary cap. Secondly, you sign Vlade Divac to a two year contract?!?! He was a good center and all but he's getting old and too injure-prone at his stage.

I can't stand watching the Lakers. The Clippers are now better then them in the standings! Luckily I have my kids to keep me occupied so I don't have to dwell on such a dismal season. Hopefully the Lakers can get a good lottery pick.
