Lakers president Magic Johnson’s decisions last summer mostly backfired. (LeBron James signing with the Lakers was LeBron’s, not Johnson’s, decision.)

The Lakers let Julius Randle and Brook Lopez walk in free agency then signed Rajon Rondo, Lance Stephenson and Michael Beasley.

Randle is having a solid season for the Pelicans. Lopez is thriving with the Bucks.

Rondo, Stephenson and Beasley have collectively underwhelmed. The Lakers will almost certainly miss the playoffs.

The consequence in Los Angeles: Lakers coach Luke Walton will probably get fired after the season.

But maybe Walton tried to get himself a better roster.

Bill Oram of The Athletic:


Johnson ignored the pleas of the coaching staff that he retain Brook Lopez and Julius Randle.

Let’s assume this happened. Did the coaching staff have any unheeded roster advice that doesn’t look as good in hindsight? That probably won’t leak to the public. This is selective and self-serving.

NBA coaches generally must earn roster input. Walton hadn’t. The Lakers were bad last season with Walton coaching Lopez and Randle.

Though Randle seemingly made expected progress given his age, Lopez was really unlocked by Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer. That might not have happened with Walton in Los Angeles.

Nobody deserves more blame for the Lakers’ failures than Johnson, who assembled an ill-fitting roster abound LeBron. Johnson must do better this summer.

But listening more to Walton isn’t the simple answer.

Welp that sums it up. Laker fans want to believe they had no chance, that is simply wrong. Magic is an idiot

Cavs wiping the floor with the craptors...

 

[DJ]

I don't know.

But Toronto isn't thinking about next year. They are going for it right now. That became apparent as soon as they dealt for Kawhi and Green.

As for Casey, I don't know. He is a solid coach. But he had his chances and never got them over the hump. They needed a new voice, IMO.

I forget who said it, but 1 HOF coach said he thought an NBA coach had a 3-5 year window with the same core where he is actually adding value. After awhile, players start to tune out because they grow tired of hearing the same message.

Yeah, Casey wasn't taking them any further.

You missed the season opener and games on December 1st and 21st?

LETS GO RAPTORS

you gotta learn you just dont fuck with Colin Sexton

28 points zero turnovers.

4/7 from 3

there have been some pretty decent rookies that have been Cavs--- but colin sexton is shooting almost 40% from 3 and broke the Cavs record for 3's for a rookie.

pretty nice.

A big criticism of the kid was his 3 pt shot coming into the NBA- and he has worked his ass off and is shooting pretty damn great from 3.


Colin Sexton > Lonzo Ball

 

[WiggyRuss]

You missed the season opener and games on December 1st and 21st?

Sexton > Ball

 

[WiggyRuss]

I think there is also a fairly decent chance Sexton becomes a Johnny Flynn level bust.

[GNG]

Cavs/Knicks both need a point

Lol

You mean they both need a team...

 

[Bolts]
