Just thinking about all the good/great players he gave away that are currently enjoying the NBA Playoffs like Deangelo Russell, Brook Lopez, Zubac.

Yeah making way for two max contracts, signing who many consider the best player in the world, while drafting kuzma and hart is so terrible. Do some of you guys even think before you hit that submit button? :crazy:

Not really a BS narrative. He made the Lakers the laughing stock of the league.

If Laker fans are happy with him, thats fine, but everyone else thinks he is a joke.

It's complete bs that's pushed by the same circle jerk of haters night in and night out. This team was fine before the injuries and that's a fact. The way he quit rubbed folks the wrong way, but he in no way made this team the laughing stock of the league, that is realgm propaganda. Considering what he inherited he did a great job. If the hate folks have for the lakers blinds them to the fact that injuries derailed the Lakers season then that's on them.

1) Jerry West has no interest in being a president or he would be a president already.

2) If Jerry friggin West wanted to advice the Lakers, he would be advising the Lakers already.


You have no clue.
