He's having a huge birthday party with the owner of the bunny ranch. They were gonna give out a ticket to the party on the radio. I would do just about anything to be at that party!

Yeah, I guess he's good friends with the owner of the bunny ranch. He goes there all the time. So the owner of the bunny ranch listens to the Don Geronimo show, and always does contests with them to bring up a winning listener to get his brains f**ked out. He text the producer during the show the other day saying how they were having this party and they should find a winner to send up there.

That's great.

Maybe, but I still find it entertaining. Lakers will be a factor. I just feel for the smaller markets though. As for Orlando, they were just dumb and they have themselves to fault. Mitch did another great job this offseason.

You know what's funny...despite having a payroll of $100M right now, assuming Howard re-signs, the Lakers will have about $25M in cap space in '14, with a 28 year old Howard being the guy they can build around. They coud have up to $31M in cap space, if they choose to waive Nash that offseason.
It's funny that with all of the complaining about the unfair advantages that the Lakers hold due to being in a big market, they're the only big market team that's consistently successful. Setting themselves up like this is one of the reasons why.

Is it Mitch though? I liken him to Brian cashman and gets to pull off these lopsided trades because the team he manages is able to work above every other team in the league. It's like trading in madden. It's all ez mode

Exactly. And the funniest thing is, we'd have to pay the same thing if we kept Bynum since the nba has maximum contracts, yet no one would being sh**** about an unfair advantage if that had happened.
Originally posted by Pillbusta:To cut out all "complaining", there needs to be a hard cap where everyone is forced to play by the same rules. Point, Blank, Period!! Mitch has obviously done a superb job as usual, but there is no denying that some teams can and have been way over the tax year in and year out in order to put more talent on the court than other teams can.
I am sure that the Lakers will spend that money and then some in order to do the same thing over and over again until there is a cap. Not only the Lakers but any other team that can afford to and can justify reasoning in doing so. Their right, but for the other teams that can't afford to...oh well.
It has been some time since the Lakers were under the cap as well as Knicks, Mavs, Celtics and Magic (Otis Smith). The mavs and magic are under now but I don't see a reason for NYC and LA teams to worry about the 3 for 1 penalty if they got a winning team.
There should be a hard cap and I think that happens in the next CBA. I know LA and NYC gets the ratings but would not a league where every team every market has a shot unless you have poor management be an entity that fans would be further engrossed in every zip code? Every NFL fan has hope and optimism at the start of the year in most instances. They tune in and support because they don't feel like the deck is unfairly stacked against them.
