    Ya, they really wrote that horse****. I bet they hired LT to write that so there can be positiveness and stuff.

    New sheriff is in town baby!!!! Now let's get Rob and Jeanie and all her slumber party friends the f*** out and let's build the next Lakers Dynasty.

    what were those? seemed to me like he wanted power without putting in any actual work, and there wasn't much put out there to contradict this claim.

    I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. I think you are. Yes?

    How do you want control of Basketball operations when you sale your team. That’s wanting your cake and eating it to. I’m confused did he want like a Jeanie Buss role?

    I’m so glad we have Nico Cuban gets wind of that trade no way we have Luka. I remember Cuban saying the guy who wanted me gone is there.

    so I knew it must of been Nico.

    So glad we got Luka. Nico this isn’t clowning. He’s a great man. Really he should just get a place in L.A.

    He saved this franchise from a huge rebuild with no draft picks. All due to AD trade.

    The way AD looks he wouldn’t have got on the court and Lebron would’ve demanded a trade.

    Thank you Nico.

    lakers scouting dept has been one of their biggest strengths for years now, and they certainly have an eye for finding talent. guys like zubac, caruso, clarkson, and reaves are a testament to that. even the "misses" like wagner, svi, and bryant are still kicking it around in the league after all these years as role players

    but they were still nepo hires, and this was going to happen eventually. just hoping the rambii are next

    If anybody saw the Dodgers operate the way 7 years or so even if you were just a casual or non-fan, this is kind of expected.

    I like Joey & Jesse, but I think new ownership want their own people.

    All good here & if these changes don't work, they deserve all the criticism the fans have...

    I don’t like this, but I have no idea how much Joey and Jesse did. Was there a couple of guys in the scouting department who actually singled out the targets?
    I was hoping that there would be at least one Buss to stay on and it’s not going to be Jeanie.
    I understand Walter wanting to wipe the slate clean and he has every right to.

    I don’t think she will be here by the time summer rolls around.

    Just another day! What did you all expect, a multi-billionaire to buy the marque team in the league and do nothing?

    @VladeD714 reminds me of our conversations way back when on whether the right Buss kid actually won that stand off between her and Jim.

    Doesnt matter now but that’s quite the quote from Jesse.

    The is the scene in Goodfellas after everybody gets whacked after the Latonsa Heist. Only thing is missing Eric Claptons song.

    Mark Watters putting his imprint on the organization.
