Lakers vs. Celtics in the past two years through the lens of the front office

I'm so nauseated over the fact that we are about to see the Lakers win another banner but I have to bring this up. Over the last two years which team has done better in the front office?  I'm thinking that the Lakers getting Gasol and Ariza for chump change vs. Garnett for a great player(s) and mutliple picks might have been a better deal. Let's assume it's a forgone conclusion the Lakers win (barf), our big three window is already closing with so many miles on those sneakers whereas Ariza, Gasol, Kobe, and Bynum and still relativley young.  It looks like Ray Allen contract may end up being the most valuable asset we have, sadly.  We need to get players below 28 who can win and gel with Garnett, Perk and Pierce. It still sickens me how the Lakers got Gasol and Ariza for virtually nothing. I'll stop here.
