    Sadly John Black is also fired. The Lakers have now officially become a joke. Vitti, Kobe, Black, Mitch etc. All Lakers for 20+ years. Dammit.

    Of course, we'll give him a chance. What choice do we have?!?

    And yes, if you look level-headedly at Mitch's tenure over the past 2 decades or so, things could be much, MUCH worse moving forward. You wanna look at terribly run front offices, go check out how Isiah & Vlade have run their teams. If Magic is closer to that than Mitch, we're going to be BEGGING for Mitch to come back.

    Does Magic has some nepotism-bound children? There will be a loooot of positions open come summer.

    but mitchiepoo and jimbo left a lasting legacy with Mozgov and Dung, doubt if Magic have the ability to work around that cluster****

    Well I hate to see Mitch go. Thank you for the Pau Gasol trade

    Wow, they're just burnin' the forest to the ground. I really hope Ryan West survives this.

    From Advisor to President of Basketball Operations... I've never come across anyone that had that fast of a promotion in any sport.

    Like clockwork.

    Mouthpiece of s*** (f*** you, Ding) comes with an article in the middle of a critical period. Jennie prepares the crowd.

    Boom.

    Dr. Buss should have adopted.

    Magic and Jeanie not agreeing with Mitch not willing to part with Russel/Ingram? Do they knee jerk and overpay for butler in the next two days?

    Really didn't want to see Mitch go, but the writing was on the wall with that hit piece Jenie released yesterday.

    I really hope this means Ryan West is ready, because he's probably going to be thrown into the fire with a promotion.

    It was clear it's a smokescreen. Stupid-a** Magic couldn't keep his "I want to call the shots" in his pants.

    What does Black have to do with the misery...? Scorched Earth. Are McDonald, Ireland, Lantz safe? Tanter?

    Yeah I don't understand John Black being fired too. I thought he was well liked in the organization...

    Ryan West is not getting fired. He and the two young Buss men are the ones Jeanie wants taking over. Mouthpiece even said so.

    For what it's worth:


    I've heard over and over again how respected Magic is by the basketball community. I hope that's true... I really, really, really hope that's true.

    Super puckers.

    I tend to think this makes us gun shy though with just TWO EFFING DAYS to go before the deadline.

    Why let go of John Black?

    Seems really random. Are we just cleaning house at this point?
