Did you not read the article

And James, who was consulted on the deals, signed off.

Go ahead. His boy Rich Paul is all over this article too

quote:

Paul was also letting it be known through back-channel conversations, including those with reporters, that he wasn't on board with Walton. Paul criticized how Walton allotted minutes to players and his inconsistent lineups, which were partly the result of injuries and suspensions. Members of the Lakers' coaching staff became aware of those conversations and wondered whether Johnson's heated meeting with Walton was influenced by Paul.

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



All of your heads are going to explode when they get a top free agent.

Jesse Buss is the Michael Corleone of the Buss family. He needs to wrestle control away from Jeanie "Fredo" Buss to save the family I mean organization.

The Lakers need an owner who doesn't want control. That article is about the issues with a bunch of people who want control, but no one strong enough to assert that control in a coherent direction.

So they have 4 or 5 competing factions. Magic's exit cuts down on factions at least, although Pelinka needs to step up his game in response.

That’s it?

Lebron signed off on a team that didn’t have enough shooting?

Weren’t they just trying to be ok while getting contracts that would allow them to make serious moves later down the road/after this season?

Plus the young guys on the team are SUPPOSED to be good shooters. And healthy, the Lakers are a perfectly good basketball team and maybe even a tough 2nd round team.

You really nailed Lebron there

Last couple?

He got rid of an entire basketball team and the new one went to the finals.

Did you read the rest of the article, or just the parts quoted here? Paul is a LeBron proxy, he's basically responsible for anything that Paul does because all Paul is is a LeBron mouthpiece.

That last cavs team sucked. They wouldn’t have beaten probably any of the west playoff teams. They got took to 7 by the stinking pacers. And then Boston who was playing rookies and role players gave them all they wanted in Ecf. Of course GOAT swept them after that.

They absolutely sucked.

It took the GOAT getting rid of an entire team and then carrying the new one for them to make the finals. That’s how bad that team was.

LeGm did one hell of a job.

I’m not rescuing anyone.

I’m asking you if that’s it and if so, calling you ridiculous.
