Does JJ or Borrega even take the job?

Borrega probably taking the Cavs job, JJ probably feels scorned over the LA situation and might just go to podcasting and wait for a better situation

Jeanie is a blonde nepo baby bimbo who listens to 10 different people because she doesn’t know anything

She hired the GM who will be on his 4th coach.. she’s 10000% a problem
I don’t know what being a nepo baby has to do with anything. Building a hedge fund or oil company does not ensure that you understand basketball. And also, I don’t know why the capital owner necessarily should know a lot about the business, you hire people for that. It’s like the funds that own Boeing might not know how to built aircrafts, but they understand how to appoint the correct people, that in turn appoint the correct people.

The question is how involved she is in the day to day business. You have owners that are like the GM and the opposite. And anywhere in between.

Whereas the owner just appoints presidents, GM and some other high level people.

Nah, Bron came because he thought the Show stimulus would push him to GOAT status and also set him up for his pursuits outside of basketball
She didn’t get Lebron or AD to come there. Bron did it for legacy/outside business reasons and he was the one who brought in AD
:mjlol:

Lebron wanted to be a Laker because of the brand West, Magic, Kareem, Shaq and Kobe built. Not a damn thing to do with Jeanie. And Lebron in turn got AD to demand a trade to the Lakers. The Lakers been a shyt show ever since Jerry Buss died. The only success they had was in 2020. The one year where both Bron and AD were arguably top 3 players. Pelinka been fukking up ever since. He was only hired to be the gm because he was Kobe's agent by the way.
Nah we cannot do this.. We can't say both, "she didn't do shyt and it's all her fault cause she's dumb." And lets realize the last few years have been ring, WCF and playoffs.. Lebron could want any body he can think of. If he felt she was a fukking idiot who couldn't boil water, he wouldn't have gone there. If he felt all these trades and players he wanted wasn't going to get done, cause she's a dumbass and Rob is too, he wouldn't be there. If he felt everything was their fault, and he was the one doing all the work, he wouldn't be there

I'm not saying she was the leader, or Rob. I'm saying you don't get to act like they aren't responsible for the ONLY success the Lakers have had since Kobe won a ring. They made those trades, signed those players, hired the coach and it got them a ring. TWO years ago. Not 15. They've done better than a shytload of owners in this league who's teams have gone absolutely nowhere and ain't going nowhere soon.

:dead: @ blaming Lebron. Once again proving why Hurley made the right decision. Laker fans were the main ones calling for Darvin Ham's head because he was "messing with the rotations", but then want to act like they have nothing to do with the firing of their coaches. This has been going on since that failed Kobe/Dwight Howard tandem and Kobe having Mike Brown fired after 9 games. This Laker trend of firing coaches after two seasons or less has been going on since Phil Jackson left the team for the second time last decade. Why are you trying to act like this something that only started when Lebron joined the Lakers? :jbhmm::stopitslime::mjlol:

It’s been stated a bunch that Bron and AD wanted Derozan and Dame first. Derozan was actually attainable and he thought it was a done deal until it wasnt

The lakers brass wanted Russ just as much as anyone. The prospect of a big 3 with merch, jerseys, ticket sales, etc. was a huge reason. Selling a 3rd star like Russ. Bron and AD deserve blame for Russ no doubt, but in the end the FO are the reason they made that trade


The Russ era might have looked different if AD was not hurt for most of those 2 years.
