From the Los Angeles Times:
Miami won its first title last week, but Kupchak said the Lakers would pull the trigger on the O'Neal trade again.
"We would not do anything different today than we did two years ago regarding the Shaquille O'Neal trade," Kupchak said. "I understand you'd probably like to ask that question, but the response is … we would have made the deal today, the same deal we made two years ago."
I think Mitch meant this to be indicative of his steely resolve and stick to his guns attitude. Instead it just shows everyone what a complete and utter doofus he is. He gave away a Hall of Fame center who led (maybe led is a bit too strong... assisted?) Miami to a championship in 2 years in exchange for Lamar Odom and little else, and Kupchak would do NOTHING different?
Hey ass... how about at least saying, "maybe I would have tried a little harder to get that Dwyane Wade guy in the trade too?" The guy averages 34.7 points per game in the finals and actually probably could have been thrown into the trade with a stronger negotiator, but yet, Kupchak simply says hey, I would do everything exactly the same?
Sigh. I hate you Mitch Kupchak.
