And it gets worse - because now Lebron is rumored to be gunning for Pelinka to be fired and replaced with someone who will kiss his ass.

Damn really? That's hilarious. Not doubting you because you obviously follow the Lakers much closer than I do and know more about what's going on. Can you provide some kinda link so I can laugh my ass off at LeBalding One? The thing is I can totally see him trying to do something like that.

Not really sure who we could have brought in after we dealt for Levert. Maybe could have called Gragic but doubt he'd have chosen us.

Westbrook was available....

I haven't heard that, but wouldn't be surprised. Same reason why he wanted Lue as coach...

looking at our current situation i SHOULDN'T have a "beef"? ok, let's throw out the fact that i've NEVER liked the self-centered clown and look at it from the perspective of selling our souls for #17. eventually i feel we'll get outta that mess...eventually...

Yeah of course, in 2030

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah of course, in 2030

about the same time Cleveland'll sniff a title in ANY sport. I'll accept that...

Whatever you think will make you sleep at night

If Lebron plays until 2030, can the Lakers really complain?

 

[shopson67]

True, no reason to think Cleveland will sniff a title by then.

 

[Shanemansj13]

If Lebron plays until 2030, can the Lakers really complain?

As long as he is on a lower deal for his next two contracts

 

[Black Adam]

Whatever you think will make you sleep at night

surprisingly, it does...

honestly though, Cleveland winning anything in any sport wouldn't have bothered me at all until certain individuals around here talking like tey were all that and a turkey leg came along...

Hell, i rooted for the Browns to win against Johnny Horseteeth and the Donks. Seemed like Schottenheimer could never get one on him when it mattered, though...

I gotta really bad idea for the Lakers. Fire Pelinka and replace him with Brian Windhorst.

I haven't been watching the games and don't intend to watch any more - the team is a mess. Now on Twitter - Lebron tweeted that Bill Oram lied about what He(LeBron) said, but asked the Lakers to lay off of him(Oram) - Well you can't have it both ways - one of them is lying and I favor calling liars out.

If LeBron plays to 2030 something's wrong with the league...

Curse you AND your input...

If Lebron gives me a million dollars - I promise to be his fan for life no matter what he says or does

Little does anyone else know, but those plugs are performance-enhancing

I got a better idea - Keep Westbrook and trade Lebron - Westbrook would make the Lakers interesting in their new rebuilding mode which is where they are headed

The only place where Westbrook would be interesting to me would be off the Lakers roster. If they can't find a trade partner next year, cut him.

those turnovers though...

But when did this "work for the enemy" come into play? Jerry West first left the Lakers to become the President of the Grizzlies. Jerry Buss was a huge influence in the decision and supported it. So he's allowed to go to work for other franchises just so long as they don't reside in the same state as the Lakers?


This was from when Jerry West left for the Grizzlies:

He departs on friendly terms with team owner Jerry Buss, the two having met as recently as two weeks ago as West considered a return to the game full time after his resignation from the team in August 2000.

“Jerry West is part of our legacy,” Jeanie Buss, a club vice president and the owner’s daughter, said Monday. “We consider him royalty.”


Let's be honest, the Warriors and Clippers have never been on the Lakers radar until this past decade. Both teams were continuously punching bags for the Lakers. Until then I highly doubt you'd ever consider on of those teams as "the enemy".

lol

They aren't just in the Western Conference, they're in same division. The Grizzlies were at least in a different division.

He turned both of those franchises into contenders.

Sorry, but don't go work for the direct competition and then expect to keep your tickets.

Ideally, the Lakers just leave it alone. But since they didn't, they should have called him personally and basically said, "We'll hold them until you are no longer working for a rival.

If I worked for a company and left to go work for a direct competitor, I sure as hell wouldn't expect to keep my perks and benefits from my previous company.
