    Kind of. His numbers are not great this year. I'm wanting the next Goodwin not that last KCP if that makes sense. Young, energetic, cheap, with legit ability to play D.

    yeah, i agree. i just think that's a long-term planning/offseason option moreso than a trade deadline option. but if the latter is possible, yes, of course.

    Anyone have an update on how Jack Nicholson is doing?It’s good to see his son court side, but I do miss Jack.

    I think Jack is doing quite well for an 88 year old. He is walking with a cane and slowing down a bit, but overall he seems to be in good shape. Last year, his friend Danny DeVito was asked about him and said, “I just saw Jack a couple weeks ago, it was his birthday about a month ago, and he’s great,” according to People magazine.

    Grant/Thybulle for Rui/Maxi/Gabe/Knect works. That makes a tough Lakers rotation

    Damn Portland really makes sense as a trade partner but they just don't trade with the Lakers.

    I’m gonna rant. Get your helmet on get ready. Abeer Slick this is directly at you. Get your opinions and please leave them.

    Jeanie Buss needs to be gone from the Lakers as an owner completely. No management nothing. No 5 years mark takes over now.

    this why I said. She needs to be gone. What’s the point??? They sold the team. She’s not Jerry. And she’s doing things that Jerry would never do.

    this article by Baxter Holmes is scathing. Basically confirms all what we all said about Caruso and the money. Not wanting to pay the luxury tax.

    im disgusted. We’ve got good things going with this team. And now we have to read that Lebron was basically forced on her. She didn’t want to sign him or resign him. We knew Westbrook was his fault. But you’re the owner. The buck stops with you. You didn’t have to do it. So is Klutch running the team or not Jeanie???

    You cost us AD and Lebrons prime years winning championships here.

    the Bronny stuff is petty as f***. So we’re doing make a wish draft now??? And Bronny was a gift for Lebron and he should be thankful???? This is an NBA team. Why embarrass the kid like that? Who’s in our locker room. Now Lebrons is pissed.

    No Lebron didn’t come here because of you. He came here because it’s the Lakers and L.A. and he wanted to be in L.A. same reason Shaq came here.

    enough is enough this is the same woman who ran Jerry West out of town and didn’t want him or allow him to come back. s*** who knows maybe Shai would be a Laker if Jerry West was here. But I digress. You mess up the brand with a hit piece like this.

    so so glad Mark Watters bought this team. But why are you still here running it. You sound like a spoiled little girl. Why didn’t we get the credit for LeBron????? Who gives a f*** he came!!!! Now I see why they say you ran Jerry out of town and wouldn’t allow him back.

    The s*** with your brothers we don’t need to hear it. It seems petty as f***ed. Personally I think it was done f***ed up.

    But she’s gotta go.!!!!!!! Like now.

    especially with Austin resigning. Players need to know that the new ownership is here front and center.

    she’s done a lot for the organization but this s*** takes the cake. The LeBron s***. Now we know why he didn’t get the new contract we know why he was pissed but basketball wise it made sense not to sign him again. But the way it was handled was ridiculous. He did win a championship for this franchise. All the Luka LeBron stuff I get where it comes from now.

    Damn Linda and Kurt got a piece of the team in the sale??? Nice.

    She wanted to trade Lebron to the clippers. That’s Laughable. And we kept Bronnie over Goodwin cause that was a basketball move.

    nice article Jeanie.

    I’ll never get why teams keep hiring Doc Rivers. Also, just ask for the trade already
