Nah, he just answered a question that it was special, people were great, and he missed it, blah blah blah, but he's happy in LA. Classic case of a partial quote changing the actual context. |

Common sense should tell you that when you're listening to someone who doesn't speak English as their first language, they usually won't be too skillful at articulation. Their choice of words are limited. Listening is about trying to understand what someone is at least trying to say. It's more about that than being overly technical about their choice of words and how they said it. Mozgov was on one of the three best teams in the league for two years. Of course there's a part of him that misses it there. That doesn't mean he despises playing for the Lakers and spends his nights daydreaming, wishing he was back in CLE. Smh. You're getting emotional and trying to rally some angry, pitchforked mob over nothing. Get over yourself.

Yup, I miss having a real center. 
The quote that annoyed me the most wasn't Moz's. It was this one: "He may have wanted to stay, but when the Lakers came calling with a four-year, $64 million offer that nobody else was going to match, well, what did you expect him to do?"
