While most outsiders (and some inside the organization) expressed their opinions, it should be no surprise that the Mitch Kupchak firing has not inspired any comments from the man who was actually let go. Mitch has always been someone who said only as much as he’s needed to (and sometimes even less than that), preferring to keep his private life private. Further, Kupchak’s reputation as a fiercely loyal executive who stays above the fray by always remaining classy with comments is well earned.
So, in some ways, Kupchak discussing his firing from the Lakers on the latest podcast from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski is a bit of a surprise.
