    Jim is trash. I wouldn't call Mitch trash because he did some very good things for the Lakers but Jim intentionally tried to ruin the Lakers because he wanted to sell his stake and run off with the millions. Jeannie wouldn't let him because she wanted the Buss family to hold the majority stake of the Lakers. Jim is an absolute scum! Jeannie should have kicked him to the curb for Rob since the beginning.

    Yeah. OX was hiding down in Temecula when a few of us were holding the line for Rob during the Vasashi Wars.

    If Kobe had Rob as his GM instead of agent he'd have a few more rings.

    Likely true but Mitch got us CP3 and Dwight before we knew Dwight was a douche. Unfortunately Comic Sans and that a** wipe in Dallas whined enough to make the midget of Park Ave veto the deal and Kobe's chances of winning 6 and 7 went down the tube.

    Only thing that I didn't like about Rob were his soliloquies. However he got the Lakers out of the Mosgov and Deng deals pretty quickly. Those were feats unimaginable.

    I don’t think it happens, but good on them for trying, and good job working around it

    Could put us in the buyout market as well. Never know who shows up there. Morris was a huge pickup this last year.

    So if the league took the 5 million off, what would Rob do anyways?

    I don't think there is a whole lot he can do. We still are limited to minimum contracts. It's far more important for next year.

    Yeah! I was going to say exactly that but thought no I’ve been venting a lot about that period with him lately. “We” were in the trenches and OX was AWOL. :giggle: :clap:

    Hard to believe we actually gotten better than last year. Crazy given we are the champions to begin with. Rob has a done a remarkable job. He's got that mamba mentality of never being content, keep pushing to get better.

    Bron must be thinking 'Damn, how many rings would I have if Rob was GM most of my career?' LOL

    We have open roster spots, and Rob hasn't done jack for about 24 hours.

    Shades of Mitch....

    If Lebron just had AD for a decade, no doubt he would have won at least 7. AD is legit not only in basketball but the ego department. They are ying and yang. Modern day Shaq and Kobe. Both are 1s. Only difference is they really get along which in the end adds more to the team.

    This is a fair point. Not taking anything away from MJ, but MJ had prime Pippin for all the years of his own prime. If LeBron had prime AD in his own prime years they would have had to shut down the league.
