LA beat writer:The Lakers run a multi-billion-dollar company like a mom-and-pop restaurant

people are just figuring this out? this was always the assumption of how things were under jim and jeanie

Doesn’t really matter when you can still bring in superstars and have other come in to team up.

Despicable organization, them.

90% of sports teams are run like mom and pop restaurants.

Some are just run like very successful mom and pop restaurants.

Buss Jr hired his hockey buddy to be their talent scout

So a few things:

1. Anthony Irwin is not a Lakers beat writer. He’s a blogger and has generally been negative in regards to the Lakers for years.

2. The lack of a shooting coach and assistant coaching staff were all Luke Walton hires/decisions. He doesn’t have the full support of Magic and Pelinka, and his coaching staff was the source of the contentious meeting between Luke and Magic early this season. It would have appeared erratic to fire him or any staff members before this season, and wouldn’t be productive to do so mid-season. Expect changes to come after this season.

3. To have a meltdown with the best player in the world injured, your second leading scorer now injured, your starting center injured for a portion of this time, and your back up point guard injured is foolish. This team was built to support lebron, struggles without him are to be expected.


So long story short; TLDR: Everyone Relax

There's a lot of small business owners and mom and pop's that work their arse off to make a living. They need to come up with another analogy.
