    @Wino also to be clear, if you click the little face icon on the tool bar, above the box you type your post it, you have a ton of Lakers gif's made exclusively for LB to choose from.

    Let's be real, Robs a can and a terrible choice as Lakers GM. Essentially he is hated around the league, doesn't know much about teh salary cap which led to him botching the Davis trade and ended up with us having to scramble to dump salary on the wizards to open a (near) max slot. Lakers FO optics are poor at best. LeBron did us a huge favor just showing his face after the Vogel hire.

    A competent GM wouldn't have had all these problems. That weight doesnt' fall on him alone though, Jenie is as much to blame as anyone else just like that r******* 2 year $50 million dollar contract they gave to Kobe....

    I only worry about his “snake” reputation. He can indeed schmooz, but that doesn’t mean sincerity, it means he’s a good liar :D. On the other hand Masai seems well liked, respected, and genuinely to be a good guy. I’m just getting my worries out now though, I’m not actually that concerned, although there was always a little fear in the back of my mind that Magic torching us/Rob on First Take might hurt us in some way down the line.

    This part actually isn’t true, and everyone who reported it was essentially had to scramble to backtrack on reporting it. The Lakers knew the cap situation all along as they employ the a former Pacers as Spurs cap guy.

    That "r*******" contract they gave Kobe is one of the reasons LeBron, AD & guys like Kawhi trust the Lakers Organization over Teams like Boston & the Clippers who crap on their Vets.

    I thought Kawhi only wanted Magic and Jeanie in the meeting. If so Rob isn’t even there, how’s he supposed to screw it up?

    I'm still pretty unclear on how this will actually play out.. Any updates on when & who will be in the actual meeting(s).?

    I don’t have any inside information. I was just going off a tweet I saw on ESPN, that said Kawhi wanted to meet with
    Jeanie and Magic.

    Wrong...that r******* contract hamstrung the organization for years. If Kobe loved the Lakers like he said he could have taken a team friendly deal similar to guys like Nowitski and Duncan who spent their entire careers with one organization. Smart players that want to win don't just look at whos on a team, they take everything into consideration. Seeing them throw money down the drain for a washed up player (who let's be real nobody in the league wanted to play with) at the back end of his career was a terrible decision and players in their prime recognize details like this.

    Hell we couldn't even get guys to meet with us as FAs lmfao...

    The Clippers have to be out, right? There’s no star left to join him there. Only Jimmy Butler hasn’t been reported to officially pick a team yet.

    Carter has been one of the only media people consistently stating we've been in it from the start.
