This article by Bill Plaschke is revealing in that it clearly demonstrates just how blind and stupid Jeanie Buss really is. She doesn't get it that running an NBA franchise with your friends is a death nail to that very business as so many people have already stated. And not quip about how she destroyed Jerry West with utter bullshit. Not a word.

The only real issue I have is with Kurt Rambis. The assumption is that he's still around because Linda is essentially family. If true, that's a big problem. Lakers need a real team president, not someone with Kurt's track record. Once that happens, then change can be made at GM if necessary and on down.

There is an old saying in psychology: Continually doing the same things and expecting different outcomes (results) is the classical definition of insanity. Jeanie Buss is not only proving that she is as dumb or dumber than her brothers, she also definitively proving she has completely lost her mind.

The NBA gospel by LaVar Ball. Apparently Zach Lavine will be a Laker in the future. If he is right, that would not be a bad signing.

This Brockington kid would be a good selection and lend support to the notion of buying a second rounder. Good addition if the Lakers move in that direction. If the Lakers bring in Lavine this summer and finally get rid of Westbrook, those three moves would really good for this franchise which is still a mess.

I suppose these might work since Phil wants to trade James and keep Westbrook.

And let's say we flip RW to Indiana for Brog and Hield.

G-Brogdon
G-Trent
F-James
F-OG
C-Howard

Bench

Reaves
Hield
Achiuwa
Melo
Johnson
Gabriel

Add some vets to fill out the roster

I love playing Fantasy GM.

Don't know if Howard is coming back. I see a lot of pundits indicating the Lakers will have to find a back-up to take his place. Howard only signed a 1-year deal.

Have a good feeling about Monk re-signing.

The most we can offer him is like 6.2 million but next summer we can offer him 11 mill per season. Kid cam shoot and score and also handle the ball as a backup PG.

Don't know the value of this one either. Don't the Lakers already have enough head cases?

I'd do that one in a heartbeat. Simmons' defense in a Dray role is a big plus. Hell, I'd do it for the players the Nets are getting.

She used to be a genius until the Rambi moved in. Now she is an idiot.

She wa sa genius because Lebron wanted to make space jam 2 and Anthony Davis refused to play for any other team

Yeah, Simmons would be good with James and AD.

That’s far more likely than getting that for Simmons
