Kupchak gets . . . praise?

Just a few short weeks ago, Mitch Kupchak was skewered by Lakers fans. Then, he steals Trevor Ariza and suddenly the Lakers are challenging the elite teams in the West. What’s more, players on the Lakers bench, the best in the NBA, were all secured by Kupchak.

From dunce to genius. Go figure.

The Lakers are ready to contend for the title this season and for the next 10 years. What other team in the NBA can say that? Thanks, Mitch Kupchak.

How about we call him Kwame Pipp?

Who would ever imagine that Andrew Bynum’s name would be mentioned in the same sentence with Kobe Bryant in a positive way? Kudos to the Lakers for holding on to him.
