LA will be hard to beat, but I think it's time someone gave Phil Jackson some
credit. I don't think he has ever done a better job than in last season and this
season. I don't know how much either Kupcheck or Jerry West had to do with the
trade, but his transition will be easy with Jackon as his coach. Second, I feel
that Miami will show better results in the long run with Marion, if he decides
to saty. One or two more bench players and they will be back on top in the East.
Wade is phenomenal. I love watching him play.

Overall F-, retarded deal they just handed away 6 million of capspace
they had. Completely negates the business sense of the Gasol deal as
well
