| Kobe and Lamar's records are actually equal this season. Both 24-21 now. Kobe's w/o Lamar will get worse though. Nothing against Kobe, it's just a really bad time for Lamar, and now Mihm to get injured. |

By the term "stingy" I mean that in a talent for talent deal and not payroll (sorry to confuse anybody up). Management does not want to give up anybody significant to get something back of significance as well. They're just not willing to give in order to get something back.

Actually, instead of them being unwilling to trade talent for talent, it is money that makes them hesitant about making trades. They don't want to compromise salary flexibility. I can see their point, face it, West has had the Lakers in salary cap hell ever since he signed Shaq (with Stern's help, of course). Not that I am complaining about the results, but wouldn't it be nice to actually be able to go get a player you really want.

Indy beat Detroit tonight. No clue why people always dismiss Indy. They're a well coached team. |
