The Day Every Laker hater has dreamed off!!!

As a lifelong Lakers fan, I've seen a few instances now where the Lakers have come undone like this in a big game (2008 vs Celtics, finals game vs Pistons in 2004).

I have no problem with the Lakers being humbled and being beaten by a Mavs team that was clearly more passionate, savvy and prepared to play. The Artest and Odom ejections were unnecessary and lacked class but were at least not committed with the force to injure and happened at mid-court.

But unless Andrew Bynum shows some serious remorse for actions in the 4th quarter, he should be gone. You could trade him for Kwame Brown and a box of donuts for all I care. Seeing him take out another player like that, when he could have just as easily disrupted or blocked the shot, was just sickening. And to make matters worse, he struts off and takes his jersey off Rodman-style. Disgusting, I don't want him back. I don't care if he becomes the 21st century Bill Russell. Trade him to the Eastern Conference. Sportsmanship comes first.
