    I find myself feeling like Rob has been hampered by Jeannie's concern for the money bottom-line and Lebron. I think Walter is bringing in people to help re-guide him into their territory, unburdened by what has been. Perhaps all these Walter guys can help us build that culture and a team experience. Lebron's time here needs to end because placating him has not helped us be a better team. Sad but true.

    This idiot traded Gabe for Kennard. Hope he gets fired


    Fun fact: Luke scored more points yesterday than Gabe scored in all 10 playoff games combined

    Full credit to Rob for this one, not sticking with a bad trade just because

    Oh WOW!! So there really was something they saw. Was looking really iffy after he played last year following the cancelled trade and all this year but being withheld from some back to backs. Whew!

    credit to the staff for finding it and reporting it without fear of ruining the boss's plans. credit to the boss for a willingness to undo his own seemingly good work, not getting caught up in that moment, and then enduring the aftermath in which it looked like we made a big mistake. we apparently did not.

    Yeah mentioned it when he missed the play-in game. Seems to be more serious as he missed game 1 too, so far.

    Great call by all involved, abeer laid it out perfectly

    Feel bad for him, seems like a nice kid and a good player. Hope we find someone similar

    Still would be a net positive compared to Dumbo

    Dumbo? If he keeps playing as he has said with the motivation of meaningful games again in the playoffs he's a more skilled player than Mark. Yeah I know it was not totally consistent through the season but it was also blown way out of proportion by typical reactive Laker Fans when he had off games. Can just take him at his word IMO and I hope he exercises his PO to remain a Laker, and in hopes of more money down the road. Does Mark Williams have that mid range touch? I'm thinking probably no way, but honest question. Our more pressing needs are elsewhere while we have Ayton and Hayes. But OK flame suit on for the he's not consistent enough detractors. Was still a HUGE plus bargain this year for us.

    LMAO ... did I write all that and you're talking about .... practice .... we talking about .... errrr ..... Hayes?? :p :giggle:

    You understand that I’m talking about DK, right?

    Given that they were traded for each other…
