ESPN: LAL will not replace Magic, Pelinka will report directly to ownership

[myersia]

No Lue, no Magic, no Williams, no contact with people still in playoffs for POB, what exactly have missed out on? Oram is the only one throwing a fit because he is trying to get banned so he can cover the Blazers and live in Oregon.

I ain't worried bout nuthin.

So happy someone feels the same way. Thank you Ty. But I would say a statement would be nice from FO.

The problem with this point of view is that you’re totally ignoring the process by which the team finds themselves in this situation. If the process is off, any success you have is just going to be based on luck.

Im happy Magic is gone, but he’s not gone cause Jeanie decided he wasn’t right for the job, he’s gone cause he inexplicably re-signed without warning anyone.

I didn’t know whether Lue was right for the job or not, but the Lakers sure did and offered the job, only reason he’s not the coach is cause they cheaped out. It’s not cause they have a brain trust that didn’t think he should be hired.

In hindsight it’s the same criticism that was valid against Jim/Mitch. They didn’t save their cap space summer after summer cause they were smart with who to offer a contract to, it’s cause no one they offered it to would accept. We saw how that process eventually led to disaster with Mozgov and Deng.

Exactly the difference though is we have a good young core who we can only hope gets better and we still have one of the greatest to ever play for now. I think we will be fine. I really do. This is unfortunate but yes I do not have any evidence to suggest for certain we will be okay but we have more to play with this time around via trades and cap space. Still think Kyrie will consider us

Sounds like your focus is more on seeing an error and fixing that one error without any thought to what caused the error and how future errors can be avoided.

This.

Process > results. Every time. All the time.

Incidentally it’s also why I didn’t like the D’Lo trade, even if you could argue it worked out in our favor.

As far as I am concerned only pure dumb luck will right this ship as long as these same people are in charge of making decisions. It can happen.

One day Kawhi just wakes up and says hey Uncle you're right. Lets go be a Laker. Or Danny Ainge develops cerebral malaria and fires Brad Stevens who also wakes up and says hey man lets go coach the Lakers. So what if their owner is clueless and their GM/President is a total weirdo snake. Then we can say what a master stroke it was to "walk away" from Lue.

I understand our situation. But I want to hear from our front office and not bogus media who love the sexy story that is the destruction of the lakers.

How? The luck arrived last offseason when Lebron chose the Lakers. If anything, the FO has shown great judgement by not offering anything longer to a coaching puppet to match for Lebron's time here. Every success we have will be from Lebron. Winning, recruiting players, all of it.

Magic quit because he wants the credit behind the Lakers turnaround. However, he ain't on the court no more.

Can't they just hire him for 4 and then dump him after 3 if LeBron leaves, keep him if he stays. They are paying Deng and that actually counts against the cap.

Aw what the hell. SHAQ.

From Woj:

Vogel's emerging candidacy speaks to the significant influence of Lakers adviser Kurt Rambis and former coach Phil Jackson, whose opinions weigh heavily with owner Jeanie Buss. Vogel was the runner-up to Jeff Hornacek when Jackson hired a New York Knicks replacement for Derek Fisher in the summer of 2016.

Just what we needed to add to our FO. Some of the flair of the Knicks successful FO.

Doesn't matter to me anymore... Just deliver the championship contender you promised us 2 years ago or sell the team...
And preferably do it with a minimum of public dysfunction and embarrassment to your fans.

[LAKESHOW]

Jeanie, we just Fn wanna win! Get the damn job done!

That's impossible

[MAMBAEMD]

There are just just too many cooks in the kitchen and none of them know how to cook.
I mean Jeanie, Pelinka, the Rambi, even Phil is metaling in from afar .
It was probably worse when Magic was there.
It’s dysfunctional but it’s fixable.
Ironically the best thing we got going for us from an FA recruitment standpoint may be LBJ.
