The whole, ‘If we wouldn’t have traded Jumaine Jones ... Pau Gasol never would’ve been a Laker’ talk leads nowhere.

I’m just thrilled to no longer have to worry about things like Chaz the bartender convincing Jimmy to trade away AD for Carlos Boozer.

Linda and Jeannie couldn’t be done soon enough.

Congrats on reaping the rewards for some hard and intelligent effort, Rob! One can not argue with the results. A+.

No risk but monetarily for the ownership. Gives him confidence in his process and to make gut decisions in high risk high reward trade scenarios if needed, helps him avoid becoming protectionist minded. Overall I think this is good for the vitality of the organization. Substantial progress is made quickly and rewarded quickly and substantially.

All it takes is not being a dicc

Mediocre. If AD doesn't sign long term here, I hope his is the shortest tenure in POBO history.

Well, we got to. No surprise there. Unfortunately, everyone here is judged by 1 thing. The Only Thing.
