Thanks @vasashi17 ! Great insight! And makes sense why I've heard rumblings about that deal structure.
@vasashi17 The 5 year deal is his current preference. I have heard the 3+1 and also a 2+1 (not sure why but maybe you can elaborate) are being...
Just to quell any concerns, Anthony Davis has communicated to Lakers management that he intends to resign with the Lakers, barring any drastic...
Wow really some insightful discussion in this topic about Pelinka, Kidd, and more! Perhaps I should recommend a few of you on here to take on a...
I learned some new information the other day. While part of the front office's refusal to hire Lue for a 5 year deal was due to some politicking...
@LTLakerFan They definitely help with this. AEG doesn't do endorsement themselves, but they can link players with companies looking to jumpstart...
@therealdeal I sure hope so! From what I understand they're very talented individuals who deserve leadership opportunities!
@therealdeal I don't know how lasting Magic's impression was. Last I heard about Ryan West and the Buss Brothers was around the time Magic was...

@ElginTheGreat I think from the end of the meeting we can conclude a lot of AEG's concern came from their perceived threat of the Clippers....
@nluna75 You bring up a lot of valid concerns. Personally, I feel this meeting was dominated by a lot of temporarily flared tempers, which will...
@therealdeal I'll give the Lakers the benefit of the doubt for now, because as Jeanie said in the meeting, she wasn't focusing on long term plans...
@abeer3 @RonStu Sorry this reads like a poorly written fiction piece! I'm trying to tell you the story exactly how I was told, which was more in a...
@MambaMentality It was independent, but now AEG's in a bit of a bind because the Clippers signed Kawhi. If he stayed in Toronto, they would most...
@OX1947 @Miggggy It's not that black and white. One or more members of the Buss family cannot just dump all their shares to avoid placing others...

Wow guys lots of questions and great points brought up! I'll try to address some of these if I can...
