NBA Trade Deadline GM Conversations We'd Like to Hear

The Los Angeles Lakers are four games below .500 and still a hunk of games behind a playoff spot, so naturally people are going to continue to talk about what they can do to make their team better.

Fans seem to want different things. Some want Mike D'Antoni fired, some are ready to cut ties with Pau Gasol; it runs the gamut of everything besides Kobe Bryant getting shipped out of Los Angeles.

You've got to imagine that things get tense in the Lakers front office this time of year, especially this year.

Los Angeles Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak: Hey Jim, how's everything going today? How about that 4-3 road trip, eh? The team's starting to come around.

Jim Buss, Lakers Owner's Baby Boy: Dammit Mitch, why aren't we winning? We traded for the best center in the league and Steve Nash.

Kupchak: Well I suppose they're still learning to play together, plus those injuries.

Buss: Oh yea, have you traded Pau Gasol yet? Go do that really quick. Get Kevin Love or Michael Jordan or Bill Russell.

Kupchak: Jim, Kevin's injured, Michael Jordan owns the Charlotte Bobcats and Bill Russell is 79. Besides, Gasol is hurt himself, didn't you see? We can't get much out of an injured player.

Buss: Jordan owns the Bobcats? When did that happen? Wasn't he doing something with the Bullets or something? Ah, whatever. Besides, I'm too busy, I've got to go fire this D'Antoni character. Do you think you can get Phil Jackson on the horn? He won a few championships for us.

Kupchak: Jim, seriously, don't fire Mike. And Phil Jackson won five championships for us, but I don't think he's coming back. Just go play checkers with your dad and calm down.

Buss: Whatever Mitch, just go trade for a championship team, will ya?
