    That 2020 team was lightning in a bottle as Rob has found out these last two years

    Yeah, he may be able to get back one decent shooter. This team really needs a couple, but at this point, we’ll take what we can get.

    I'm actually pleasantly surprised with what he has put together on a ridiculous budget.

    He acted foolishly to appease the kang, but has righted the ship. It's too early to truly say this ship is sunk, but it is super clear how poorly Russ is a fit. However, outside of that, if Russ wasn't playing, there's actually a decent chance we could have been 2-1.

    I'm completely ok with giving him some time, and I'm glad he is regularly consulting with Kurt Rambis and his legendary gift for talent evaluation. Rob will be here long after leBrone is gone (My prediction)

    this is my biggest detestment of having a leBone team. Massive roster turnover. I feel no attachment to the team. Anyone we had that was likeable has been shipped out, unsigned, etc. Such a bummer. Hopefully we find that some of the folks we signed end up being a long term fix.

    really don't see this as the play at all. they know the fans will desert, and they know that FA has nothing of value next year.

    Doc Buss was able to pull it off very successfully for two reasons. He had the right instincts, and he surrounded himself with great basketball minds (Logo, Bill Sharman, Chick).

    Jeannie does not seem to have the same instincts and then there is the issue of who she has surrounded herself with.

    The fact that we extended this guy is really the cherry on top of this miserable season. This is peak failing up.
