jeanie buss was just on 710espn for about an hour and she commented that phil has told her that he thinks this current roster under MDA is going to do very well, that the players will fit MDA's system and expects great things out of farmar under MDA.

Not sure why really, but when we hear from Phil through Jeanie, it always makes me think of him as an old man... Like a grandpa figure commenting about his grand kids.
When he comments directly, I don't get that feeling.

It's kind of sad because he seems so disconnected now.

They have to secure a playoff spot no matter what. Anything else is a failure.

Looks like Jeanie is making her annual radio tour to sell season tickets and marketing stuff more than anything else. No team ever depended on Jordan Farmar to be be great since he left UCLA.

Knowing Phil he s probably just trolling MDA waiting for the job to become vacant.

She also said she has a personal hope that Kobe makes it to 20 years in a Laker uniform... You guys think its possible? She stated how its never gonna be done again going forward because of the new CBA and how players will be jumping from team to team because of it.

I think maybe in the next CBA agreement the owners may ask for a franchise tag similar to the one in football. For instance Paul George will obviously stay in Indiana this initial big money contract (also because he's restricted) but after this one its gonna be fair game who nabs him by the cap space available for each team and what other free agents would be available at the time and my want to team up. Thought that was interesting.

More of both because of the amount of cap space (about $40 million) we will have after the season. Melo and maybe Lebron. Definately think Melo is on his way to play with his big brother Kobe.

Phil wants to run the front office. Jeanie is talking more now because she trying to push Jim to the side so Phil can come in and run the front office and fix things.
