This is how sad my life is. The Lakers waive Vlade Divac and I get excited!

I watched Vlade play in his “prime” about six years ago. He walked up and down the court the whole game and never broke a sweat. I was disgusted by his lack of effort, and began counting the days until the Lakers dumped him.

Sadly that day did not come soon enough, but somehow they got the Sacramento Kings to take the oaf. Then he boomeranged back to the Lakers - and Shaq left. Ouch.

Maybe now the Lakers will finally wake up and realize they need to build around a genuine big man. They mad Shaq mad, so he’s out, but they’ve got to start looking at who’s up and coming once the Diesel retires. Until now, I’m just happy Vlade’s gone.

Bill Walton once called him the #2 center in the league. If that was true, I could easily crack the top ten. And on a good day I’m 5′7.”
