Please let's discuss free agency rationally. The Lakers are going to make the right moves. They usually always do.
*Stop blaming Jim Buss' hat and jeans if we don't get a freeagent
*Kobe's contract has never prevented FA signing.
* Magic cannot get a FA to sign here.
* Jeannie doesn't know basketball operations, stop asking her to replace jim. Jim knows what he's doing.
*Jim has been here and contributed to our last 3 finals runs.
* We are in a rebuilding phase. It took Dr Buss 12 years to get us another title.
* It's only been 4
* Woj doesn't have any sources. He's making isht up.

Rationally speaking they do not always make the right moves. No one does

It's the internet age. Rationality is no longer.
When online, one must be irrational and point fingers at ridiculous things like hats. |

Please stop complaining about the free agent signings or lack thereof that have taken place over the past few seasons, while in the same breath chastise the FO for reaching for the stars. Of all the Front Offices in the league, we have one of the good ones.

Act as if the Lakers don't follow your personal NB2k15 off season plan, they failed the off season.

| When was the last time Lakers signed a big time free agent? Shaq? Something's not adding up here. |

This!! This is the one that annoys me the most.
Sometimes I feel like I'm dealing with kids who have no true understanding of 'the real world'. I just wanna scream: "It isn't fair!! It doesn't always work the way U want it to!! S _at_ it happens! Stop trowing a temper tantrum and figure out how to realistically improve your situation."
Ooh, that rant made me feel better.  |

This.
Also love it when some of y'all write down lineups like Lakers are actually going to sign x player/s automatically because Purple and Gold lol. Then world crumbles when x player/s decide not to.
Just wait it out, whatever happens in FA happens. |

Just got to wait and see...
Sometimes the guys you dont sign are a blessing.
See Melo last year.
The Lakers are doing what they can to get players here, they cant make anyone sign with them.
They can offer what they have to offer, in the end its up to the player to want to be a Laker or not. |

| Also, ever since the Jack Haley incident, the news reports have been consistently inaccurate and flip-flopping until the very last minute. Most of our moves lately have not been well predicted in advance. |

| Yea I agree... I don't see us signing anyone impact-worthy this summer but Kobe will hopefully be forced out next year and then we will start to look more attractive to FA's. This season is all about player development and securing the bottom three pick |

Go root for the Clippers.
Suggesting or hoping that your favorite team 'force out' a Top 10 all time player is insane. |

To be honest, all the talk either way on Aldridge is hear say right now, Monroe is still out there as is DeAndre.
People can't really be mad about Butler as he was restricted to begin with, and asking Love to leave a contender for a rebuilding team while also taking a shorter deal so leaving money on the table is hard to expect too.
Word that best describes what our fans need right now is just patience.
