    Absolutely. Just looking forward to what we can do with this new ownership group. :). I think we both are aligned that we needed a change at the ownership level. It's done.

    When you're at the ownership/executive level, these are the decisions that have to be made, and why or right, Mark is going to get the reward or the blame. We'll see...

    lol why? Even if your city has a dumb nickname it doesn’t mean you HAVE to put it on your jersey.

    Remember this is a woman who fired her Brother Jim. She doesn’t owe Jesse or Joey anything. Part of that deal might have been you gotta fire your brothers. Because we don’t want them around. And we want to have our own scouting department.

    Also seems like Jeanie negotiated this deal sale with mark by herself. While her brothers were left in the dark.

    those two do things together separately from Jeani. Remember the two launched the technology buisness company they were launching a hub for all entrepreneurs to take on projects with their new equity investment firm. I heard nothing about Jeanie in that press release. I’m just saying.

    No, not at all. While I agree it would be good to clean house to a significant extent, I wouldn't personally start with the department which seemed to work the best in the recent years.

    Having said that, I assume there is a LOT we don't know about regarding internal dynamics, politics, power struggles etc., who made which decisions in reality and so on. I expect many such details to come out in the near (or not) future and hopefully we get to know more about the reasoning behind this decision.

    So basically, I am not sure whether I agree with this decision, as I don't know enough to assess it. I'm definitely not in the "Finally they fire everybody and burn this mess to the ground" camp as some here seem to be ;).

    I am more than willing to trust the new ownership group and reserve judgment for the time being. I hope there are many more moves to come and since they decided to start the overhaul. I would like to see more rather sooner than later.

    This is where we will certainly agree - I would love the Rambii to go. That move would be huge in many ways, especially confirming the fact beyond any doubt that Jeanie has no say in such things any more.

    Has it come out yet when the family vote was taken on whether or not to sell the Lakers? It must have somewhere in these breaking behind the scenes articles. Once the sale was announced I just assumed it was after the Luka trade.

    Yeah, pretty sure. If I'm catching a stream since I'm overseas, it's whoever they happen to be broadcasting. I don't see the point of multiple versions of skewed heads. It certainly doesn't make me want to watch it if that's the goal.

    They can hire Thibedoux provably will make Bobby Jackson the interim coach.

    Can we ply in and get Keon Lewis??? I do think we can get Malik Monk he’s not playing only had 14 minutes last game. And has been playing weird. He can be a difference maker for us.

    Lue is a goner. Always felt like that was as much about him and the Clippers one upping us as it was him actually wanting to be there.

    Clippers are back to full forgotten little brother status and I love to see it.

    The tricky part for us is that teams know we are close. It will be interesting to see how much that impacts willingness to make a deal.
