| This guy is really plucking my nerves. I was a huge fan of his but, his decision making and shot selection are terrible! And if I see him jump and make a pass again I'm gonna jump though the tv and choke him! |

| This is Pau Gasol all over again when fans were making threads and comments just about after every single game. |

| He's struggling but there's no reason to trade him unless you are bringing back a quality talent. His shot isn't falling, he's pressing. It happens. If he was your second leading scorer off the bench the inconsistently wouldn't matter nearly as much as it does right now due to the injuries. |

That would require Mitch to work during the season. That's asking for too much.

Imagine you had a rough couple days at your regular job and you were fired because you weren't consistent, in that week, with your otherwise sold production in the past couple years at this job. That's basically what you're saying.

being traded is not equivalent to being fired. he's still gonna be paid 50 million over the course of 4 years. we've paid him and are asking him not to play like an ass |

You've never heard a bad rendition of 'chopsticks' played pizzicato on detuned violin strings... |
That doesn't sound pleasant

I'm not really trying to compare "being traded" to "being fired," rather I'm criticizing the sentiment of letting a good employee go after a week of subpar performance.

Says someone with Gasol in their name. Try again.
In November 2007, Ariza was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Brian Cook and Maurice Evans.
On February 1, 2008, Gasol was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers along with a 2010 second round draft pick for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie, the rights to Marc Gasol (Pau's younger brother), and 2008 and 2010 first round draft picks
On February 7, 2009, Brown was traded, along with Adam Morrison, to the Los Angeles Lakers for Vladimir Radmanović.
December 2011, The Lakers and Hornets agreed to a trade netting CP3 for Gasol and Odom only to be robbed by Big Daddy Stern.
Yeah, Mitch sure is a lock to do nothing given the right opportunities. |

CP3 trade was in the offseason.
So what you're saying is that the last time Mitch worked during the season was in 2009, almost 7 years ago? |

except this outlier week is a product of habits he's exhibited the past 2 years. if he's still not getting it 42 games into the season, it's time to reevaluate. I was criticizing his play at the start of the season too, but I knew it was dampened by our success and his hot shooting to start. |

| Don't know if I am ready to trade him yet unless if it's obviously someone good but I will say my expectations on what he is going to be have dropped. He just plays really selfish and makes dumb plays. He is extremely inconsistent and when he is bad he is REALLY bad. |

you're proving my point here. Sessions was what... 2011, 2012? It's almost 2017. Like I said, trading anyone or for anyone would require our GM to actually do something during the season.
