Might need to revisit my 1-9 prediction. That Jazz game I penciled in as a win might turn out to be a toughie.

I'm sure we'll win some games eventually, but it's going to take a miracle for the team that's been on the floor the last 3 games to break 1-9...

The question for me has become, how bad does it have to get before the FO decides they have no choice but to clean house and start over?

O-3 had Vogel in the hot seat last season... And was the beginning of the end for Walton...

How do you clean house with 3 of the highest paid players in the NBA who can't win a game together? Who takes them and gives us more than comparable magic beans?

Also the idea that Westbrook is most of the problem here isn't watching the division 2 bench we have. I'm not seeing any "coaching" either. Just Bron-ball.

Game 7 - Lakers vs Pelicans - Loss
Game 8 - Lakers vs Jazz - Win
Game 9 - Cavs vs Lakers - Loss
Game 10 - Lakers vs Kings = Win


Okay then, 2-8 it is. I guess I was overly optimistic.

I think you’re spot on. I think it was a mistake to extend Lebron. At the time I said I had no faith in management’s ability to build a cohesive team around an aging Lebron. AD is simply not our guy. Another injury riddled season and we’d be looking at pennies on the dollar in any trade. Now everyone knows we’re desperate. I expect fully expect we’ll send out our two picks in trades. We’ll likely get destroyed in any trade going forward. People crap all over Jim with good reasons. However, I’m not sure Jeanie is any better.

It's hard not go get a chuckle, when thinking back to the "hype" with Moz and Deng. Boy, those were dark times. Not that this is great (or even good)...but its better than that preseason.



And you all think that Westbrook was the worst contract - At least Westbrook plays :)


47 million, and all you got to defend him with is "at least he plays"? <--------- Worst contract.


When comparing him to Deng YES! :) :crazy:

Harsh. I seem to remember Deng wanting to play, but we pretty much told him to take a seat. All brutal contracts. The last 10 years have not been great for Laker fans. I'm usually a big Jeanie defender.....but perhaps the franchise needs new voices, new eyes, new minds. It's hard to argue with the statement that the Lakers are obsessed with the past (just look at their shows).
