Silent Love

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. 
Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players.
This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost…

Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters

Despite Anthony's unsightly attitude in requesting a trade and his arrogant "two no-goes" stance, the Lakers did not make it difficult for him.


Currently, there is only one team that both has a need for a trade and fits this bill.


The Lakers made direct contact with the Supersonics.


Last year, the Supersonics signed two big men in free agency, but ended up missing the playoffs with a tenth place finish in the Western Conference. Irving's rookie scale contract had ended, and after four seasons of toil in the NBA, this thinker began to voice his discontent.


To assuage his emotions, the Supersonics needed to make a trade.


Greg Monroe's performance last season with the Clippers was not up to par, and his contract was clearly an overpay, making it a good time to trade him away.
