AD just got traded to the most dysfunctional organization in basketball.

The Lakers players just got traded from the most dysfunctional organization in basketball to an organization with a new top to bottom, more or less.

You act like I can’t call the Lakers a shitty operation because the Pels had also been a shitty operation previously. Why?

I just think its funny to see a fan of one organization who just underwent the single defining characteristic of a dumpster fire, calling another organization a dumpster fire. Idk what else to say

If you're a dumpster fire, wouldn't be easier to identify a dumpster fire?

They’re not mutually exclusive concepts.

And the Pels have new leadership. The point is that it’s very important that they use this opportunity to establish a foundation within the organization and show the players coming in from LA that the fricking mess they’re departing is not the norm across the league. The pitfalls of the previous leadership are irrelevant right now. They have a clean slate.

Believe me, we are the experts now. We have a man in charge who didnt think to negotiate a potentially franchise defining piece of filing and paperwork

That's a pretty big miscue.

Reminds me of the Klay FT situation after the injury the other day. Wasn't until after he was way into the tunnel that someone alerted them that he should take those FTs first, just in case.

Now obviously that was a much much smaller scale, and that was also in the heat of the moment. Idk how the hell a GM did not know that. Probably learned at the same time we did on espn.

I am convinced they are going to find some way to agree to prolong it. Both teams gain cap space by it, and pelinka legit may get fired if its not corrected

Who’s to say that woj lied about Tatum and Ainge isn’t just trying to save face?

Didn’t you hear? Kyle Kuzma is Paul George and certain fans are convinced keeping him was some massive win.

so either woj was just straight up lying or ainge gassed him up for months about Tatum and he believed it?

either way, that's a bad look.
