    Hopefully the front office can clearly see who really isn't considering us and move down the list accordingly. Can't miss out on players we can really sign because of being unrealistic with others.

    And I'm inclined to believe Jeanie has been leaning info for years so she doesn't seem like a bad guy when she fires Jim. The first person people think to blame is Jim and I think that's largely by her design. He's made several screw ups but nobody chooses to remember the good things he does.

    I'm not saying Jim is the executive of the year, I'm just tired of the same old stories that I think have come from her all along.

    How much would the Lakers sell for? 1 billion won't be enough right? <goes back to saving> LOL.
    So many billionaires around the world and we're stuck with the Buss kids. Dr. Patrick needs to spend some of his money and take control of this train wreck!

    Seriously 9 o'clock is going to roll around and Mitch and Jim are going to be wondering why they're sitting in their office instead of fielding pitches to FAs. They wanted veterans this summer? They can't even get meetings with teams... What in the world is happening here?

    Hassan flipping Whiteside won't meet with us... he's not Kevin Durant. He's a 27 year old guy with only 1.5 years of real production and he won't meet with us? Ramona Shelburne said we were preparing a huge pitch for him and we can't even get a f***ing meeting??

    Oh my gosh.

    Yep. I hope we shift focus to Bazemore, Deng, Batum, etc.

    Why does it feel like there is secret glee attached behind all these bad news tweets?

    I mean s*** when we can't meet with the biggest freaking meathead in the league... All this cash and nobody to take it. This is an embarrassment.

    I figured whiteside would be a LOCK for at least a meeting. $60million and nobody wants it? Should I call mitch and see if the lakers will pay me to play center?

    I guess when we pass him up for Wayne Ellington this is the result.

    Lakers have to spend 85 million to satisfy CBA salary rules. The new influx of cap room has created horrible timing.

    The only thing that means is paying the difference to the players on our roster. There's no real penalty to the team for not reaching the floor.
