Byron Scott Discussion 2015-16 - FIRED!!! (PAGE 172)

If I'm Ollie I would most definitely want a heavy say so in roster decisions.He's an all business type of guy and I'm betting he's been watching this Laker front office in action the past few years creating the dumpster fire we've had to endure. He will create a new Laker culture replacing what has evolved into a clipperesque culture but to do that he must get his type of players, no clowns like Young, no roster spots taken up by the likes of Sacre and Kelly, no no D guys like Williams or dinosaurs like Hibbert. No guys out acting the fool with Young about town...This Laker FO has created this mess, imagine if they would have resigned Bazemore for less than 3 mil instead of keeping Young at 5 mil, and had him mentoring Russell, Randle and Clarkson. Ollie will make sure this kind of roster move never happens on his watch...Yes I'm definitely on the Ollie bandwagon, and reading all these posts about his upside has strengthened my opinion.

 

luke's connection to phil is making me hope they hire either ollie or messina. i would just absolutely hate to see phil come back once again in any capacity with this team. it's time we finally move on from him

ollie is #1 for me. i think out of all the potential coaches he would make the biggest impact when it comes to FA signings

This supports my theory that JEANIE BUSS is the problem. I think she was trying to keep Scott so that we suck again and then she can fire her brother and bring back Phil. I also think the KFT was HER idea to keep the Lakers relevant and distract us from how bad we really were....I mean she is on the business side after all.

 

and that's exactly why i feel that this team won't have any success as long as the buss kids are calling the shots

it'll never happen but selling the team would be the best thing that could happen to the lakers right now

 

Yeah, I have a bad feeling about Jeanie. I have no idea why everyone acts like Jim is the scapegoat holding back Jeanie from saving our franchise when there's no evidence that she has any idea what she's doing yet either.

 

Jeanie has always been the issue to me

 

I truly believe that Jeanie is the problem. Her agenda is to get Phil back to LA....so she was sabotaging her brother in an attempt to make that happen. But Jim and Mitch were too smart for that and I BET YOU if it werren't for stupid KFT and Jeanie's insistence on keeping Scott...he woulda been fired mid-season. I just hope Jim and Mitch make the right coaching hire.

 

As long as babies and puppies are rocking Lakers gear, everything is good...

 

Guess it's settled, all of the Buss kids are problems.

 

Only one kid gets the benefit of the doubt.... Who do you pick?

 

Both them turds are the problem. They operate independently. Like the recent interview where Jeanie says she had no idea Byron was going to be fired and didn't expect it. Like STFU all you are doing is making it look like the FO is a mess and divided. Really helps the FA pitch when that was one of the reasons people were shying away from LA. She's as much to blame as anyone, but she sits back and smiles while her bro takes all the heat. It's so damn obvious she wants Phil here. Kick em both out and let them go back to their high chairs until they can play nice. It's embarrassing having them speak and never be on the same page.

 

The one who drafted Bynum, one of my favorite players ever.

I literally think Jeannie might be a witch because she actually looks hotter now than she did in that picture.

 

This. So much this.

 

I truly believe the Lakers will be irrelevant until the Buss's sell the team. Take the 4 billion and just go away...and take Phil with ya...I've heard many talking heads push for the Lakers to bring Jerry West back as President of basketball operations, which would certainly expedite this total rebuild. When asked about going back to the Lakers he said "I don't think they want me back" ...a telling statement to me, it's not a secret he and Phil hate each other...

 

Pretty much certain if Phil comes back Ryan will take first good offer to get out.
