These two are talked about a lot. who's done a better job rebuilding the Lakers Jim was part of drafting our new young core Deangelo Russell Brandon Ingram Randle Clarkson Zubac and Nance. and Jim hired Luke. And Jeanies first big move was firing Jim Mitch and trading Deangelo Russell and Drafting Lonzo Ball. and Hiring Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka. What do you think of the job she's done how do you feel about her Plan?


What do you want to see from her? I just thought it would be good to revisit this question with all of the Crazy Moves that have been going on with our team. Thanks all of you Laker fans it would be great to hear your opinions on this. Do you like her plan of going back to the chasing Super Stars?

Theres a reason free agents want to come here. It's Magic, Jeanie and Rob. That is huge!

Deng and Mozgav are bad
Russell over Proz was ug
Not going w/ Phil
The Nash and Howard trades
I don't think Jerry thought he was giving his son a rebuild - but a championship team w interchangeable role player pieces

I liked the Lou for a first pick. Ball and the Lakers seem to be made for each other. Hope it works out. Verdict still out for the current management, but it feels right so far.

Props and thanks for the other draft picks, particularly the lower picks like Clarkson and Zubac.

I really doubt Jeanie has anything to do with Free Agents coming here.

Luke Mitch Dantoni just got coach of the year. maybe they were right with were the game was going hiring Dantoni.

Nash worst NBA trade ever.

I would say Russell over Booker. but Russell was still a top five rated guard and still put up 15 and 5 kobe was 17 points year two. so trading Russell to me made no sense.

Mozgoff and Deng were dumb. they had to spend the money on somebody nobody was signing here.

And Lonzo Ball was obviously an easy and great pick.

If they don't get a superstar then it's the same management. But mitch did draft the cornerstone for our new young core lakers Deangelo Russell Brandon Ingram Julius Randle. Ivicia Zuba Larry Nance and Jordan Clarkson. and he did sign Lou Williams which I thought was a great draft pick. hiring Luke Walton before Houston was genius and great.


Brandon Ingram will be a superstar I think drafting him was great.

Her job responsibilities are no different now than before. Only difference now is that she won't be able to hide behind her brother's decisions.

Agree, but my point was that she has only been in that position too short of a time to be judging her yet.
