Lakers 2.0: The failed reboot of the NBA's crown jewel

Holy hell. ESPN lays waste to Lake Show with Rob and Magic stories. One of my favorites from the article

Pelinka's penchant for "storytelling," multiple Lakers staffers told ESPN, is viewed as disingenuous -- at best.
quote:
One story shared around the organization unfolded in March 2018, when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was addressing the team at the Lakers' practice facility as part of the franchise's "Genius Talks" series.
quote:
"There was one time when Kobe, who I worked with for 18 years, was going back to play in Madison Square Garden, and he had just seen 'The Dark Knight,'" Pelinka said. "Obviously, you guys saw that movie, and he's like, 'Hey, hook me up with dinner with Heath Ledger, because he got so locked into that role. I want to know how he mentally went there.' So, he had dinner with Heath, and he talked about how he locks in for a role.
"And Kobe used some of that in his game against the Knicks."
"The Dark Knight" was released in July 2008, six months after Ledger died. A source with direct knowledge said no such arrangement was made and no dinner ever took place.

Rob Pelinka looks like Rob Lowe with fetal alcohol syndrome.

It feels good to know that some NBA organizations are more incompetent than my employer.

Why would any top free agent even consider signing with the Lakers?

You mean ESPN loves to play up the dysfunction of any major market team???
I’m shocked

Magic 
quote:
In his remarks, Johnson expressed excitement about the task ahead, but he also made clear he didn't accept excuses or mistakes, and that those who weren't on board with the new management and their mission should leave, according to six staffers who were present.
Pointing upstairs, toward his office, Johnson drove home his point. He had a large stack of resumes sitting on his desk -- "a thousand" of them, multiple staffers recall him saying -- and he could replace any of them at any time.

Man, our owner put goats in the GM's office, and the Lakers make us look like a well-run organization.

Holy shite
For starters, I don’t think anybody has needed mind games to beat the Knicks in like 45 years.
Secondly, no wonder the Lakers ran this clown off.

A lot of that article makes LeBron and his people look pretty bad.
