Rob Pelinka Discussion: BBall Ops Pres + GM (AKA: Lucky Rob)

possibly. i've wanted us to sign someone with better relationships across the league, but maybe the oddity of pairing with rob means that can't happen.

again, i think he's set up for a boom or bust here in the next few days. if he pulls whatever his grand plan is here, i think he not only keeps his job but is maybe extended. anything short of that, and he's gone.

convenient, too, as the organization can pin the lebron divorce on rob so the bitterness doesn't carry forward to future attempts to lure stars.

i think that's another underrated factor in not being able to hire in the front office: who wants to be part of the team managing the lebron retirement or angry exit? so hard to do.

i think he's angered lebron, and he's angered rui's agent. pretty sure he's made mortal enemies in detroit, too, as they're going to have to max duren to keep him now. ironically, i think this is another case of your greatest strength being your greatest weakness. rob has enemies because he's a bit of a shark, and he's also successful because he's a bit of a shark.

 

But raise your hand if you DIDN'T know that?

Again, CHRIS PAUL w/Kobe and Cap for Dwight.........

Yeah.........they want to stick it to us ALWAYS. C Bags can be good whenever they want and everyone loves it. The Lakers have chances to get good and the league does all it can to crush it.

 

New GM's got this! It'll be different!

Well actually it will be with Mark running the show. Hopefully!
