Jared Dudley on the Clippers-Lakers rivalry: “It’s huge. It’s a good rivalry. It’s a little fun. It’s not like a serious rivalry. It’s not like they they have any banners hanging up. Trust me, I would know, I played for them.”

Dude you're the one calling the Lakers the West Coast Knicks because they went through a rebuild. They won 5 chips in a decade didn't get anything for Kobe and instead let him retire a Laker and so they had to rebuild from the ground up.

Clippers got Blake in '09 and ended up with a 25 year old CP3 so no shit you guys were going to be better than a rebuilding team last decade that is my point. You are comparing two teams on two different timelines. So, stop tooting your guys own horns because you guys were better than a rebuilding team that is my point.

Also your best era of Clippers basketball was still built under Donald Sterling so ownership and front office don't mean shit. Cavs has some of the worse ownership in the league and they still landed Lebron James. You guys got the first pick who carried your asses and then you flipped him into the assets to get Kawhi and Paul George. Smart moves not going to criticize that but stop acting like your franchise is gods gift to the nba and the Lakers are run by a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off.
