In all seriousness, this all thanks to AD right?

Without AD asking for the trade and forcing the organization to take a long hard look at itself, none of this happens. Honestly, had Klutch not been such asshats about forcing their way to LA, I think AD is still well liked. He could easily come out and say "this is what I wanted all along. Sometimes you have to threaten something to force action that never happens otherwise. I wanted the best for the city and I'm glad we're moving in the right direction" and all is forgiven.

It really just goes to show how terribly Klutch has painted AD into a corner. He could have so easily still been super well liked throughout all this but put his career into hands that don't have his best interest at heart.

I feel like the way this entire scenario has unfolded (including winning the lotto) was the league sending a message behind the scenes that the inmates would not be permitted to run the asylum, and that there are a lot of teams outside of LA and NY.

Indirectly, yes.

Directly, no.

Gayle deserves all the credit in the world. Look at the reverse outcome. Jeanie Buss was also embarrassed in January and her reaction was to consolidate and strengthen her power.

Also, your second point flies in the face of the first one. If Klutch and AD aren’t so abrasive about this, this never happens. We should also thank Rich Paul and Lebron while we’re at it if we’re going this route. This thing needed to get turned up to 11 for all of this crap to happen. A quietly polite story doesn’t generate this response imo.

I don't get the connection between your first paragraph and 2nd

Basically, in your first you acknowledge how bad the organization used to be and how great it is now. And then in the second, paint Klutch as this villain with no logic

They wanted to get him out of here BECAUSE the organization was crap. Which you guys all now realize after seeing what it could be with an owner who actually focuses on it.

Nothing Klutch did was wrong IMO if their goal is to get their client away from a crappy franchise while he is in their prime. And it was a crappy franchise.

I don't get how people don't see this clearly yet. They know all the pieces but don't connect them properly. I am guessing it is because emotion is involved
