Both Mitch and Jim Buss are overrated.

I am guessing you saw it coming. Please point to your post before this season started that says you saw this coming.

This was unpredictable. NO ONE saw it coming.

Look at my post history over the years. I've always said these things.

And no I didn't expect us to be this bad. No one did.

Congratulations your pessimism was finally right?

They weren't smart decisions by the Lakers front office and I ways always vocal about it. I never understood how no one else saw it that way.

Why did the Suns fall off? They sold their draft picks and traded away their youth for old non-athletic players. We were doing the same things they did. We top it all off by hiring the same coach they had.

I get it, it's just funny to me because if you harp on every single thing the FO does as bad eventually you will be right at some point because every single team goes through a down time. It's not like by complaining for years and years and years even when we're good and winning titles makes you smart when we do start sucking, it was bound to happen no matter what the FO did.

we could have won 4 to 5 years straight if management didnt get cheap after winning the ring in 2009

People forget we owned Arizas bird right and we could have landed him and MWP

Nash's weakness in defense is a well known issue. No complain here please.

Nobody wins 4 or 5 years straight, it just doesn't happen. Teams get too tired after 3, that seems to be the limit, it's just not realistic. Also, management didn't get cheap, we won again in 2010 with what they put together, moves are made that don't always work out, doesn't make them cheap.

This thread actually sucks harder than the lakers. That says a lot. How are you allowed to do this time and time again?

That his boss wanted him

I'm actually going to agree, a thread the other day about Nash 'sucking' was locked, and this topic is going nowhere. Mainly though, Mitch didn't CHOOSE Nash over Sessions, Sessions left to start elsewhere, probably to get away from Mike Brown.
