@msgkings322 wanted more food posts so here will be my snack in a few.

@bksballer89 is Mad Dog Russo.

Nah.

He and @Shanemansj13 are the news breakers.

That moron that’s always typing in caps is Mad Dog.

@trojanfan12 is Shannon Sharp, with a looser fitting suit, minus the marbles in his mouth.

Trying to decide if Wiggy or myself is Skippy Brainless.

LOL.

Mad Dog Russo makes more sense than G n G, @Mecca.....

 

[trojanfan12]

I don’t know that it’s really that.

Its fun to clown that weasel, Pelinka.

But, sometimes I get the impression that he’s not a complete imbecile.

Think about it….

He constructed a deal to get the Lakers the very thing that you needed.

Shothing.

But, he was undermined by your assistant GM, Lebron.

If he’s guilty of something, it’s being neutered.

Lakers are a rehabilitation for underachieving Klutch clients.

The power dynamics within the Lakers organization is totally out of whack.

Yeah, that's why I don't put all of the blame on the F.O.

If they had gone with Pelinka's trade, it's unlikely that the Lakers are getting anywhere near the criticism they've been getting.

I don't know if, as a relatively new GM, he just didn't have the confidence to tell Lebron and Klutch no, if Lebron, AD and Westbrook convinced him they could make it work, or some combination of both. But it was clearly an even bigger mistake than many of us thought at the time.

Who is perk

Dude….

Thats hard because most people here don’t post like English is their second language.

So, GOATum, Dorian or the Ouzo guy.

Clusterfuck 101.

At worst, I think most expected us to be at least a 6 seed.....not in the play-in.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yep.

So, even if you never make the playoffs again with Davis on the roster, it was worth it.

I always see people on Twitter trying to downplay the bubble chip.

That shit counts just as much as the Spurs win during the lockout Season.

Nobody puts a asterisk on Duncan’s rings.

As for a deal for next year, absolutely.

I said the same thing the other day.

The Clippers knew they were going nowhere fast when they traded for RoCo and Powell.

It was a deal made for this season.

I’ll take four asterisks for a Sixers championship.

Wiggy is Ryan Hollins

That could depend on trading for James in the summer.

Oh my.....

I mean, Magic came right out and said it was Lebron and Co.

He has no reason to protect Pelinka.

What Rob does from here on out will define if he has a future as a team executive.

Because, he has obviously been given the green light to do what’s best for the organization, even if Lebron is pouting.

I still think not doing the Indy deal was a mistake.

But, maybe he knows something we don’t about what will be available down the line.

Yuk. I don’t know that he fits.

Caught me slipping. LOL.

Dude, I was in here capping about being disappointed if the Clippers won a chip with Lebron.

Even I knew that was bullshit while I was typing it…lol

Lot of teams could be sellers.....
