ITS NOT rebuilding its stupidity. WHO TRADES SHAQUILLE ONEAL FOR BRIAN GRANT, CARON BUTLER, and LAMAR ODOM. Who doesnt give an extension to probably the best NBA coach of all time, which every other big market team wants to sign. What team signs Rudy T to a 5 year 30 million dollar deal when he was worth half that on the market?PHIL isnt going to come back because kobe drove him out. How are the two of them going to get along when Kobe drove him out and phil called kobe uncoachable in his book. The only way hes coming back to the lakers is if they offer him 12 to 15 million a year to coach which probably wont happen. Kobe is never going to win another ring. SHaq will win a few more. I think jerry does care what we think. Last year most of his revenue came from the fans. About 67 million of it. If he doesnt care and fans dont show up he is screwed. If they kept shaq and traded kobe they woulf have gotten a couple more rings and a couple more future superstars in return.
