re: Shelburne: Lakers forgot about creating max space in AD trade

But you can’t tell me you aren’t extremely worried that the FO issues don’t spill over onto the court.

there is a level of worry. i also think the likelihood is much more likely that a pairing of lebron and AD will be very successful regardless of the front office situation

I just don’t know how Lakers fans can be so dismissive, Burt their head in the sand, and continue to just shout, “We’ll get someone, we always have!” “We’ll just replace that guy if it doesn’t work out!” “Everyone wants to play in LA!”

and i have no fricking idea how people can act like the lakers wont be a major free agent destination with AD on the roster and max cap space. i also dont get how people can continue to expect the lakers will have a man in charge who will literally forgot to iron out the deal execution date of a trade. i dont have much faith that the lakers will ever have a true, high level front office because i have no faith in jeanie creating one. but i also think what the lakers have right now is literally the bottom of the barrel and that any change will be an improvement and i also think that given the stature of the franchise, and given the fact that we will have max cap space once lebrons current runs out, i dont think we really needs a competent front office when they already have a star to sell to free agents and have the space to make the move

i absolutely think this run will end up in less championships than it should. i just dont think that means the lakers will be a disaster and will start losing lottery picks to NOLA
