    Keep the Lakers out of the playoffs!!

    Also, get the Lakers back in the playoffs, we need their money because we can’t afford better teams with low viewership.

    (Small market teams probably)

    I'm not saying I want an advantage because we're the Lakers and we're good for the NBA. I would just like to be treated equally.

    But if I'm being honest, my guess is the main reason viewership is probably down is because all the casual fans that tune in only for the playoffs probably feel its pointless since they think GS is going to steamroll everyone. The casual fan doesn't realize how good Houston and the Bucks are this season.

    I wouldn’t doubt the casual fan might watch a few minutes of James Harden playing “basketball” and then change the channel in disgust, as they had thought they were tuning into an actual professional basketball game, not a soccer game and free throw shooting exhibition. I haven’t watched a second of Rockets/Jazz because the thought is painful.

    Ask for a trade then. I’m sure plenty of teams would make a move for a LeBron that’s not a 1 year rental. Frees up his position for Kawhi

    If he is unhappy, we can always accommodate him. Not a problem.

    He's waiting to see who the coach is we hire and chances are it will be one he will have a previous relationship with; with respect to Free Agency, I'm not very confident right now.

    LeBron, please ask for a trade. It's been painful for me to root for you....we're more than happy to trade you to new york for the #1 pick...

    I'm almost certain that Pelinka will hire Lue in order to save his own azz.

    I assume Klutch is not pleased with the current state of affairs and Jeanie has to do something to appease them. Pelinka isn't dumb. He is a snake and therefore knows what is at stake and the pressure that Jeanie will be faced with from Klutch.

    He will hire Lue and then come up with a verse from the Genesis how Lue was the perfect coach and heaven sent etc...

    Lue isn't a terrible choice though IMO. He is a relatively modern coach, doesn't mess around, has championship pedigree and is a former Laker and knows the organization and the working environment he will be faced with.

    My problem is that how can we hire the coach without having the P of BO? Thats the thing that makes me cringe...either we hire nobody or we hire Rambis and both alternatives are absolutely terrible.
