Weekend Dime: Picking the decade's best
Posted using ShareThis
Apparently, Marc Stein can't count either--fortunately, 73.6% of his readers disagreed with him and picked the Lakers as team of the decade. However,it also seems his lack of priorities extends to ranking playoff games as he inconceivably picks a first round game one (!?!) over either of two great CONFERENCE FINAL GAME 7's (one of which went to overtime!!!). Is dude on the Spurs' payroll or something?
And how many more cracks must we endure in regards to the Pau Gasol trade? ANYBODY could have had him--assuming they had a $9 million expiring contract like Kwame's. And little brother's turned out to be a pretty nice player too. Quit your whining. You didn't see the Lakers complain when the Sixers gave Barkley to the Suns or when the Rockets gave Pippen to the Blazers.
And by the way, who stepped up to say, "Hey, the Lakers are REALLY helping out the Heat with that Shaq trade. That doesn't seem fair. I mean, Brian Grant isn't even healthy and he might never even contribute for them. Someone should step up and null that trade!" No one said jack. The Lakers did what you're supposed to do--move on. They ate Grant's contract, turned Butler into Brown into Gasol, and went back to kicking arse. Look, superstar trades are almost ALWAYS one-sided (Garnett, Kareem, Wilt, etc.) Take care of your own business and shut your hole.
And while we're at it--Somebody wake up Hicks.
