    I think Jerry is getting too much credit for all of these moves (and for the Warriors dynasty). Even Jerry himself would admit to this.

    The Tenants do not have garbage front office personel, Lawrence Frank and Michael Winger are considered to be some of the best front office personnel out there. Ballmer has invested his financial clout into building one of the best FO's in the NBA.

    This 100%. Jerry isn't even the GM and he gets all the credit. I'd hate to work with him.

    West ex-Laker player/GM, franchise icon... Convenient salvo for Laker haters/trolls in existence to throw in our faces.

    I'd love to be the one to discredit the Clipper front office by throwing this at them.

    its amazing how much jocking the world is doing for J West. Guy is great. We know this too well but please stop with all this overreaction. If we slamming the Lakers FO saying it was Lebron/Klutch/AD etc etc that made all our moves then say the same that Kawhi and a wtf in OKC made this happen. If OKC owner says no like they would of to stop the Lakers then Kawhi ain't a Clipper and neither is Paulina.

    Clippers got a team. They got some serious talent for sure. Give their FO some credit. Also give Kawhi credit for making the big deal happen. Remember KD denied it before Paul wanted a new pimp after Westbrook hurt his feelings. Oh yea, lets not forget the insiders from OKC working with the Clippers but eh collusion isn't a thing outside of the real LA team.

    Agreed. I also think now is a good time to point that Michael Winger was an assistant GM to Sam Presti for years. A shock, a great move, but the dots are certainly connected.

    I’ll pose a question - do you think Jerry West knows the difference between iMessage and a text message? Because that’s where this deal was brokered.

    I think anyone is entitled to feel however they want, considering everything is pretty much conjecture, at this point.

    So, however you think it went down... Got your own targets.

    Plus, let people vent. If it isn't personal... Who cares?

    If this happened (losing 6 times in the NBA finals) this decade, he'd be mocked by social media so badly...

    Pretty much feel the same way. Sad to say. He is the player who got me into being a fan of the Lakers. Now I just look at him and shake my head.
