    Ohh Little P is acting like Dwight Howard now. Have fun with that. I'd say wait until Lebron and the boys shove that crap down your throat, but I might not bother wasting time on a dude that got ran out the gym by Joe Ingles.

    We paid a $500,000 tampering fee, Ya I think we wanted you.

    To say he felt hurt or bummed we didn't trade for him is none sense.

    THIS type of crap is why everyone is ripping this dude.

    He’s actually lower than Derozan, etc on my list at this point. Even lower than Dwight. At least he’s not from the area.

    And this is also Mintz screwing with the front office again for anyone still questioning them moving on with that relationship.

    Further proof that documentaries aren’t a good idea when changing teams. Just change teams and focus on your brand.

    Edit: as others have mentioned, now that I think about it, I’d bet his agent planned it like this, and he knew long ago that PG would stay with OKC. Surely the agent didn’t get upset about how Julius was handled now, he had most of the season to get salty. Hopefully he is on Mag and Peli’s s*** list going forward and will do a move that serves him back, just for good measure.

    Precisely why Johnson had to look James in the eye to gauge his sincerity. George? Let's say he probably would have seen through the transparency.

    If I was the Lakers front office, I would blacklist Aaron Mintz and all his clients. Don't expect any deals from us because we know how it will end dealing with Mintz. He will go out of his way to screw us over.

    I had a thought when I first heard that Westbrook and OKC got Nas to perform at the PGtoOKC party..... I wonder if that was just them being trolls towards the Lakers because Lonzo said "Ain't nobody listen to Nas no more" lol.

    I watched part 3. Seems like he is butthurt we didn't do our utmost to trade for him and gut the roster?

    What an embarrassing documentary? If you knew all along, then why not not just stfu and re-up in OKC and enjoy the rain? What's the friggin documentary for?

    We doin just fine with the sunshine and palm trees without this turd.

    That's not how businesses operate. You suck it up and move on. One of the most important things in the corporate world is to make decisions completely free of any emotions.

    But we have to be sceptical based on the track record with this dude.

    I assume the relationship went south because the Lakers didn't behave and neither did his clients.

    We got rid of Russell (Mintz Client) and Magic criticized Russell afterwards pretty heavily.

    We also didn't offer much to trade for George even though I'm sure George and Mintz had asked the Lakers to do so.

    Then we f'd up the Randle situation.

    So it's not just that Mintz is a d***head. It all comes together on both sides. Russell was a tool, George didn't even meet with us and Randle was pretty poor except his contract year.

    I'm sure our offer for PG was much better than Olapido and Sabonis, but that Son of a Pritchard was an a#@$%@# and stood us up.

    Let's not act like the Lakers didn't try to get you PG, the same GM that tried to trade you without telling you was the same one who probably balked at all of the Laker offers just to spite us for "tampering".

    PG just lumped himself up with all the B-Level stars with this move. That's not what LAKERS do, and why I'm giving Lebron so much more respect for coming here, even without another star in line. He's taking on a challenge, sure there might have been better options, he could have stayed home, but chose to do more and in one of the biggest spotlights of them all.

    I think the big issue here is that Mintz guy. The guy is a joke who thinks he is better than he is and I honestly believe he tells his clients that as well.

    I’m surprised he’s not Melo and Dwight’s agent.
