Obviously the trade would have been made...geez!

Kobe and Kemp would have been good together back in Kemps younger days. No telling how many hotel clerks they could have mowed through on any given road trip.

I dont think signing Garnett would be the issue. Tricking McHale into taking some of the Lakers bums for him may be tricky though. Then again....maybe not.


Red Auerbach must be rolling around in his grave as bad as personel men his former players have become

McHale and Ainge are brutal, Larry is just bad.

Seems like in many cases, great players don't make great coaches, general managers etc.

The classic example ....................................ISIAH!!!

[The Bid]

Isiah should just be happy in retirement. He was a great basketball player, hes one if not the worst front office men in the history of the NBA, infact probably the worst.

Certainly near the top...what was the guy's name who picked Sam Bowie instead of MJ?

If he mangled his own personal finances as bad as he did the CBA or the salary cap he is a long ways from retirement.

Bill Russell was absolutely awful also as a coach.

The Lakers just need to wait. They would not win the West with KG, no way, no how. They would have to have a very good PG to go along with KG to get anywhere.

I guess Riley has been the most successful player/coach. I wont count Phil because imo he was not a good player. Riley was.

Laimbeer has made a heck of a good woman's coach as has Michael Cooper.
