    ^ to be fair I'm a lifelong Laker fan and I grew up 2 hours from Boston.

    I think your anxiety is making a lot of you snow flaky sensitive to everything. All Woj said was if the Lakers are drafting next Thursday, that means the AD trade fell through. Which is correct. What's the big deal?

    Agreed. I don't buy the bias.

    I don’t get resorting to insulting does anything for you. It just makes you sound so immature.

    It’s way too early to joke about this, but at the same time it’s not when it comes to Boston, so, yeah






    Mannix is so sad.

    Yah, but not everything has to have meaning. It's just fun. And fun is good.

    I’m also pretty sure Woj is speaking for Griffin right now, he basically confirmed as much with his article yesterday, while the report we heard right after it about AD narrowing his choices to the Lakers and Knicks was clearly Rich Paul. Woj always seems to be working for the teams we are going up against in these negotiations as he has no sources with us.

    I also think statistically/analytically, he was the worst player last season. Yes, even worse than Mike Muscala.

    Woj, that you? So desperate for Laker sauces he's coming here now for Mr. Rambis's special sauce. I mean how generic a handle...shoulda seen that coming.

    Seriously tho bro, props for putting up with that nonsense during your childhood. Woulda been hard being a Laker fan in that climate.

    And as for the bias, here's Woj describing I his own words the difference between pres and GM and their responsibilities when the Jazz elevated from within:



    Here's Woj speaking on Magic as the Prez:



    No bias huh?

    I respect Woj's bombs...but couldnt care less about his bum takes.

    I think your best point is the front office mess. That does hinder the future, even if the young guys end up being really good. I don't think any of them will be top 5, but i do think 2 of them can be top 10-15 and one top 20. Is that better than 1 top 5? IDK, i tend to think it is. I just hope with all the leverage the lakers have, they keep ONE young guy.

    Remember these Woj classics?





    He definitely accepts being the voicebox for other teams that are conducting business with/against the Lakers.

    He publishes that a president is big picture and a GM is "day-to-day" but bashes Magic as the president for not being day-to-day. Da f***? That's a double standard.

    Like I said, I respect his bombs, but not his bum takes.

    Y'all can see what you want...it's pretty obvious to me.

    This isn't about what he says as true or false. It's about his willingness to go above and beyond at minimizing our leverage. He's thistry as the rest of the league is on seeing a Laker tax levied.

    What's his take now? Rush into an AD trade and use your cap to do it, cause no free agents are coming. So once again he wants to put us on a clock. So Woj says Griff would like a deal sooner, yet Griff himself says this...

    Agreed on everything you're saying regarding Woj. I'm sick and tired of him hating on us...that's why it'll be so damn sweet if we get AD and don't give up the farm to get him....Woj will HATE breaking that news but I kinda hope it's Shams that breaks it (although he's ALSO a low key hater on the Lakers)

    Here's his latest take:



    He also says Griff wants a deal before the draft, but here's Griff:



    So Woj has it where LA needs to make a godfather type deal to the Pels asap to get AD and use up our cap if need be cause no marquee free agents are coming. He knows probably through his buddy, Bobby Marks, that the best way for us to use our cap would be to trade for AD later (however we can verbally agree on a trade now and make it official later).

    Then go back to the trade deadline where he says Boston will offer Tatum. But today he reports that Boston is most likely out of the AD sweepstakes. As if AD's pops didn't broadcast that to all of us in Feb. For insiders, they definitely lean on the wrong sauces.

    Then go back to last summer when he said the Lakers have to trade the farm for Kawhi to have Bron commit in free agency. Then this happens:



    Then it looks like the Lakers/Bron would rather wait for Kawhi in free agency and won't sell the entire team for him...so the narrative becomes that Kawhi doesn't want to play with Bron even tho Woj was pushing so hard for the Lakers to pair the two pre-free agency.

    And y'all act like dude has no bias/agenda.

    Btw Haynes is dope and plugged into Klutch so I hope he breaks the #LAD trade first.

    If AD comes, Kawhi coming the Lakers increases.

    AD, Kawhi and Lebron definitely win the title next year barring any major injuries to them.

    Rondo
    Leonard
    James
    Kuzma
    Davis

    Game. Set. Match.

    Sorry, habit. I meant to put AD where McGee was.
