Official Whine, Moan, Complain Thread 19/20-CLOSED "WE CHAMPS!"

I was looking for an appropriate section to post in, but the most obvious selection we have entitled “The Dumpster” doesn’t allow new topics.

 

I knew that interviewing Kidd wasn’t some courtesy.

 

Pining for good 'ole days ... Jimmie and Mitch.

 

poor Kurt, he's not even being paid,

 

really scared where we headed towards right now...feels like Fo/Jeanie is washing their bentleys with dirty pond water and 10yr rag cloth

 

Without our injuries I give us a punchers chance against any of these playoff teams. Had we also signed a few shooters on one year deals rather than rondo, Beasley, and lance we’d have been a dangerous team.

 

perfect with your PS recommendation.

 

seriously had I seen this picture from 2yrs ago I would've had no clue how much "power" that lady in the middle really had, I would've thought just some random person thats a friend of Jeanie or Rob

 

Tread carefully in anything pertaining to Linda. You go after Jeanie's bestie and things go from mad to worse.

I got sauces...

 

Lol

 

Let me preface this with my wmc is the hypocrisy of this site (cause certain folks don't understand why I make pro-Laker Laker arguments in this particular thread).

So let me get this straight, making fun of George's manhood for "skirting" us is frowned upon here, while it's completely fine to make misogynistic references about the women in our FO. Got it.

Btw Linda was a Dr. Buss hire...which really doesn't fall into line with the Chaz nepotism narrative, does it?

All I ask is that if certain things are allowed here while other things aren't...keep it consistent.

 

Thanks vash. All about Linda and the better informed you will be.

Warning .... very Hallmark Channel(ly) in its coverage of the Linda and Kurt love story.



Actually never mind. It's horribly long and horribly written. My god!

but .... Hef's Playboy empire is in her background. All starting to make sense .....




“Not a lot of people realize that Linda Zafrani (and later Rambis) was actually a part of the Lakers before Kurt ever wore the purple and gold,” said Jeanie Buss, executive vice president of business operations and daughter of Buss. “Linda and I worked together building the tennis and volleyball programming at the Forum and that is how she met Kurt. When Kurt left in the late 1980s for Charlotte, the organization lost two valuable pieces - both Kurt and Linda. Thankfully, we were able to bring them back in the mid-90s.”

“I started in sales,” said Linda of her first job with the team. “I got my foot in the door the first year Dr. Buss owned the team. Timing is everything.”

She worked for another Los Angeles icon before working for Buss and the Lakers, Playboy and Hugh Hefner.

“I worked at the Playboy Clubs in Chicago and I worked in Miami and I worked at Century City and I managed the club in Century City for some time. I was one of their first female managers. That was how I got to know Dr. Buss.”

In her first year on the job and Buss’s first year of ownership, the Lakers drafted Earvin “Magic” Johnson and went on to win the NBA championship over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Two years later, Rambis entered the picture when he signed as a free agent with the Lakers."



Does not mean she is not smart and Doc picked her and entrusted Jeanie to her. Doc probably not a dummy here if acknowledged to be super bright and shrewd everywhere else.
