The Lakers Stole Another One
I can understand why some people hate the Lakers. Yes they are brag-a-docious, but they seemingly rip people off in trades year after year. If the Lakers traded Luke Walton and Jason Kapono for Ramon Sessions straight up, that still would be unfair to the Cavs. But not only did they do that, they also got Christian Eyenga. (Not a real big gain, but still.) This deal is ridiculous.
Now, I realize Sessions isn't going to be the savior that Chris Paul was supposed to be, but he is definitely starter-quality that they Lakers sorely needed. Luke Walton has played in nine games this year, averaging about 1 point and 1 rebound a game. Kapono isn't much better. And did I mentioned the Lakers SAVED money making this trade?
The Pau Gasol trade was considered robbery at the time, but in actuality Marc Gasol turned into a damn fine Center, and that trade wasn't so lopsided after all. Could this happen here? Hell no! If that was robbery, I don't know what you would call this. Think about it trade in terms of money, and here's how that conversation would have went down:
Lakers: Hey I'll give you 25 cents, you give me 20 bucks OK?
Cavaliers: SWEET! Let's make sure and get in writing!
Lakers thinking to themselves: Fucking dumbasses no wonder LeBron left.
Keep in mind I am a Laker fan, and I laughed when I heard this trade had actually happened. I'm excited no doubt, but the Cavs must be morons.
