    The Lakers won the Championship. They beat the odds. They beat the bubble. They gave pride to the memory of the Mamba. They gave us #17. We fans were happy. We celebrated. We yelled. We laughed at the JV squad floundering like they do. We laughed at Doc getting axed. We praised every player (not named Green) for their roles no matter how small. We were happy. But "happy" isn't the way of the Laker fandom. Oh no..... We must....

    COMPLAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So here we have it the official complain thread where you can wax unpoetically about how horrible things are in Lakers land. The season is around the corner and we fans must be ready to hate on our squad like never before. Without further delay I give you.....

    The Lakers free agency started well, but Rob has really let us down the last couple of days while other teams snatch up prime talent.

    does he even know how the salary cap works? SMH

    My only complaint so far is we haven't won a game yet. What are we waiting for?

    Yes, but couldn't we void his contract on a morality clause if his behavior brings the Lakers organization into disrepute?

    Surely stealing 5 million dollars a year consistently from an organization is bad morally?????????

    howard going for a 1-year vet min surprised me.

    i'm sure i'll complain more later, but the offseason has gone quite well, tbh.

    i guess the league saying we have to be lux-responsible for deng makes me whine. but as long as nobody else is let off the hook for their poor 2016 choices, i'm ok with it.

    My inaugural WMC of the 2020-2021 title defense is Kuz. I felt like last year was his make-or-break season and he ended up giving us nothing in the playoffs (despite improving on defense during the seeding games). He's the one person on this roster I don't trust. Tired of waiting for him to put it together. Hopefully he plays well enough to become an "asset."

    I think the entire team was starting to think about pairing AD with a stretch. Gasol will start.

    The guy didn't click socially with people that count, i.e. LeBron and AD. Otherwise, this doesn't happen. He wanted a better contract from LA and Embid was able to sell him on the fact that he didn't get that in LA and that he would get Morey to do him better next year.

    So great to see good ol' Morey still with us, what did he cost the NBA last summer with his impeccably timed Hong Kong battle cry? 2 trillion? Geez, I hope the NBA has no plans to expand to the Middle East while Morey is around.
