    Sounds like revisionist drivel to me trying to parry blame away from his insidious a**

    still disingenuous after all these years...

    yeah, i'm sure you told mitch that you were going to re-work the deal with the same principals, except houston was going to up the ante, and then mitch was like...nah.

    just total bs.

    (Bleep) Stern and everything he represents. Even that insult doesn't come close to what a piece of s*** he is. (bleep) him.

    f*** Stern.

    There was something to veto. Gilbert, Cuban and Co. had the time to:

    1. find out about it
    2. think about
    3. write a bunch of whining letters

    So... f*** you, Stern. f*** you, your dog and your parrot.

    Whatever. I sleep well at night knowing I will watch 10 more purple and gold banners get raised at Staples before 1 gets raised at the Smoothie King Center. And I'll see Rondae Hollis-Jefferson hoist the Larry O'Brien before I see it in Chris Paul's hands.

    Living well is the best revenge.

    Stern shows up at Dr. Buss funeral, gets coldly stared down by The Logo and told our late, great Laker patriarch was an honorable man in the biz UNLIKE others...

    It's not all Sterns fault..Paul had the power to say I'm only going to the Lakers, but he didn't cause he thought he could win a ring with the clippers. Obviously as long as he's on the Clippers he's not winning anything. If Paul was smart he'd run to the Spurs and truly try create an actual legacy for himself.

    I hope i'll live long enough to see us raise another trophy... i also hope Jeanie mentions "basketball reasons" in the speech. I will bomb her twitter to make sure she does take a jab at Stern, Cuban and Gilbert. She's clever and i bet she'll come up with something :D

    I call bull****. You speak out now that Mitch is fired? Please, Stern is the same old rat-faced little weasel, I'd be glad if he never spoke on the matter again unless it was an apology and the truth.

    Stern is just flat out telling a lie, but I will say this.

    Had we just waited a few days after that new CBA had been signed or at least a week and then made the agreement I think it would have softened the blow, quick response from the other owners who were like "WTF, is this? We just signed this new CBA to limit super teams and now this trade happens". I'm not blaming Mitch or Jim for this as they saw an opportunity and went for it instantly, no hesitation.

    Instead all this is a big footnote in our history of success. what could have been......

    Not even that. Just don't do it when literally every GM/Owner are housed in one hotel.
