Correct. He sold most of the team and has no control.


I still think he makes basketball decisions for them per the terms of the sale.

That's what he said initially but reports since say he's been squeezed out

I don't get not asking for more? How do the Lakers continue to get away with **** like this?

Luka is the cash cow you drain dry for years and years when the team is no longer good and constantly missing the playoffs, bizarre. You trade him after years of that.
Go Bucks!

I need to be sleep, I’m so confused. This is the worst trade in nba history. Luka must have some serious **** coming down on him and the lakers will wait it out or something. This trade has to be rescinded by the league or something. I just don’t know what’s going on.

Does he have a permanent injury? Is he planning on retiring and moving back to Europe? Does he like to frequent massage parlors? Trying to come up with things that could tank his value that much.

Yeah, I'm seeing that now that I'm googling a bit more.

That makes me look squarely at Kidd.

There is a clarity in the organizational flow chart that was murky in the past. Cuban, despite his claims after selling the majority share of the franchise midseason to the Adelson and Dumont families, no longer has control of basketball operations. Harrison reports to new governor Patrick Dumont, who is kept informed but has shown trust in Harrison to handle roster personnel matters. Dumont rewarded both Harrison and Kidd with multi-year contract extensions during this playoff run.

Did the Lakers actually get better becoming the worst defense imaginable?

Even if you wanted to trade him, surely you'd shop him for 5 minutes and come away with a young gun and 6 firsts.

I would organize a board protest outside Fiserv if the Bucks ever did something like this with Giannis. I'd drive there tonight.

Bad timing but we're blowing past the limit so we'll start anew

Does the league actually need to investigate this? League mandated psych eval for Nico Harrison?
