The Power Behind The Power: Kurt & Linda Discussion

I can’t see it happening at all but I’d love to be wrong.

 

Either this Mr. Untouchable is trolling everyone or he's more connected than anyone out there in the media. If they move Ryan up maybe incentive for Jerry? But what about all the other reports about Rob, Kurt and his wife? Does Jerry accept that at his age and with Rob the snake there who's Kobe's best friend? Am now so confused.



LOL maybe Steve Mason busting Jeanie's chops about running the multi billion dollar Lakers like a mom and pop organization got to her. HA. Doubt it.

Sure would help get Kawhi here instead of where Jerry had been setting him up for the Clippers push to sign him.

 

He doesn't know jack s***. Just deletes his tweets when he's wrong. Didn't he claim with certainty PG was coming here? I can find that screenshot somewhere. He's like most unverified "insiders" - talks a lot about obvious stuff and sometimes hits. Laker fans love it because a lot of the time it's positive news regarding our team. But don't be fooled.

There's another one of these guys - I think ScoopB is his name - who is claiming that Durant is 100% coming here. Obviously both cannot be true.

 

Yeah. Matian is the lawyer whose tweets several of us have posted. Pretty plugged in but you can tell the situation is all over the place and no one has real answers right now.

 

I'm of the opinion that the PoB position here isn't as important as some think and indeed Magic was just a front which is how it was supposed to be in his head. I think he thought "Rob does the work, I just flash my pearly whites and make people want to play here". I think PoB will be a position that handles day to day basketball operations while Rob concentrates on acquisitions (players and coaches), trades and the cap. The PoB position is different from team to team. Being in audio production I can only equate it to the producer on an album. They may be heavily involved in the album's sound and material or very little involved with that aspect while the engineer does all the hard work. It's the same and I don't think the Laker PoB position is going to be as involved in basketball personnel as the day-to-days as it is being made out to be. In which case Rambis would be alright and he is knowledgeable about the game anyways. Rob will recruit. I also think people are making way too much out of negative relationships with Pelinka. He has many positive relationships with GMs and players respect him. We have always had a few agent problems (waves hi to David Lee). If he's good @ his job then yes, damn right he pissed off a few agents. One of the all-time top music industry managers and agents is Irving Azoff who has said "If I haven't made any enemies I haven't represented my clients well or done a good job"

 

The right answer is Ryan West with Jerry as a Consultant.

I don't know who has the balls to trade probably your best player (Tobias Harris) midseason and still remain competitive and competent with chemistry on your team. Look how our team was built this year. It looked like we just went after guys who had the best resume vs. who actually wanted to play basketball and compete. Our scouting team has been really good the last few years at finding talent, but our free agent and trade department has been impervious.

Clean house, get the Logo back in to mentor his son, and move on.

 

jeanie is holding onto rob as her stooge shield, who else can she blame now for the franchise failures?

 

if im a high profile exec like Myers, im not taking the job unless i get full power with my own gm/coach

 

hate to break it to u but we are the Knicks minus lebron

 

I want to know what source told Lue not to take the job, I need to send him a thank you card.... maybe a balloon, teddy bear, edible arrangement... something

 

This is what gripes me the most.

After Magic stepped down, David Griffith said there are people lining up for that job. And all signs point to us not even considering anyone else for that position!

And now you have Linda "what is basketball" Rambis being a big voice, and Kurt "no FO experience" Rambis taking the PBO position. ALL of that, on top of Rob "no one will take my phone call" Pelinka as GM.
