that The Athletic article, that had reporting from NUMEROUS sources that are all legit trustworthy sources had to be an influence.

it is absolutely damning. some of the stuff in there just blew my mind that it could happen.


So many franchises have extremely smart, extremely motivated and driven people working for them--- people that are damn near geniuses that work 20 hours a day.

Magic and Pelinka and Jeanie Buss were playing checkers in a league that is playing chess.

According to a report by Adrian Wojnaroski: Rich Paul, formerly of Klutch Sports, will be named the new General Manager of the Los Angeles Lakers. He will be announced at a press conference tomorrow. :eek:

It doesnt matter.

Players matter

If they get Anthony Davis (seem like almost a lock) and Kawhi Leonard (??), this is all just chatter.

Magic Johnson + Mitch Kupchak + Jerry Buss + Jerry West combined would have zero bearing on those decisions.

They will come because of Lebron or not come because of Lebron.

The Lakers GM would be the last thing AD/Kawhi care about.
Anthony Davis? Kawhi Leonard?

:pound:

Detroit about to win so we should be officially eliminated in 2 minutes

And.....done. Shouldn't have had to rely on other teams to get us into the playoffs. This failure is on Spo. There were so many games that we had huge leads only to blow them in the 2nd half.

I really didn't understand the hype around Pelinka. He was a former agent, which doesn't exactly bring anything to his current position.

19-22 at home, 2-15 against top 5 in the east, several losses to bottom feeders, and Dragic missing more than half of the season all played a major factor in them missing the playoffs

And of course now that we're officially eliminated, we're whipping the shit out of the Sixers.

Hoping they don't play wade tomorrow. If we were going to miss the playoffs then it is only right he plays his last ever game in Miami

My point being, this was an extremely disappointing season.
