I was looking at NBA attendance numbers for this season (http://www.espn.com/nba/attendance) and some stuff got me thinking. Brooklyn is dead last in attendance, and the Clippers are in the bottom 10.

Lakers and Knicks, on the other hand, are in the Top 10.

I think media and twitter/message board fans overrate all this "solid FO, great core" narratives about these guys. They can't even draw crowds at their own cities. Star players don't see Nets/Clippers at the same level of Knicks/Lakers in terms of exposure and media, I'm 100% sure of that. At least not on the level most of the internet seems to put them.

That said, I still expect this to be a major factor in FA this year once again. It is, in the end, basically the reason we got LeBron and why he didn't go to Philly or the Clippers.

The only guy I could see not caring to this at all is Kawhi, but he's still got a lot of people around him pushing for the big lights. I don't think New Balance signed him to be the company star so he can stay in Canada or be a B-List star in L.A with the Clippers. They'll push hard for Lakers IMO.

Why do I have a growing fear that Jeanie goes insular again despite it not working?


Because she’s demonstrated that she’s literally incapable of doing things any other way.



Let's not pretend that Luke Walton wasn't a coach in high demand after helping coach the 74-win Warriors for the majority of that season. It was a no-brainer hire considering that and his Lakers experience.

We'll see how he does in Sacramento, but I feel like they'll be competitive under him.


Yeah. I was for Luke so I have to agree with this assessment.

It's just that her job search for the POBO/GM/coach has extended to individuals who had Laker ties. That's the concerning part. I think the talent pool from that insular grouping has dried up considerably.

I agree. The Clippers definitely over achieved this season, similar to the 08'-09' Rockets. But they are not an exciting destination for FA's and aren't 1 guy away from making a real impact. We are.

Pelinka would have to make up with Mintz. Not happening.

We would have to throw him the max and hope that Brooklyn is too busy chasing KD and they miss their window. If they match the offer then we did right by DLO.


Do you think it would be worth it for the Lakers to attempt this? Our options are looking remarkably slimmer than what many on this forum think..


He's not worth max money.

Counterpount: he's 23 and could outplay a 25% max contract with continued improvement.

They keep guessing the same sh*t year after year, so one year they are bound to be correct.

If they aren't they can just wait out the negative comments or delete and make a new account.

Miss Cleo says Jimmy Butler is going to be a Laker, dontcha kno?

Right. People assume "max" money is the same thing.

There are several tiers, and he would be on the lowest tier and improving every year.

We are likely going to throw 32m/year to a 29 or 30 year old Kemba/Jimmy. Think about that for a minute.

And I'm fine with the Lakers doing that since they only realistically have a 2-year window with Lebron, anyway.

This is an impossible scenario. Bad blood aside, dude has been quoted saying going to Brooklyn saved his career and he wouldn't have made it in L.A. There's no way he's leaving the Nets this offseason.

Agreed. I think he might even give BKN a discount to stay there.

Yeah. But unless we get KL/KD, we are really whittling it down from the grandeur to good. I wish both those guys were 27 to give a few more prime years, b/c the end result could be a spectacularly old and expensive top heavy team.

I don't know why people still insist on Noel. He has been in the league for 6 years and didn't get any better. He's just a defensive mind back-up C who can defend well the perimeter, but is bullied on the post. And absolutely no offensive game.

I agree....most saw Luke before this season as a flawed but good young coach....the kind of flaws that could be eliminated with experience. Luke will be coaching in the playoffs within the next 2 years.

If it meant losing our cap space, then I'd rather punt to 2020 instead of giving our max amount to Russell. I view Russell like I view Kemba, he's fine, a good All-Star level talent, but not someone I'd want the Lakers to commit to for 4 years.

because being a defensive minded Center that can defend on the perimeter is very valuable in the NBA....

The difference is due to age, Kemba/Jimmy are depreciating assets while their salaries go from something like 32/34.5/37/40.

DLO is not even in his prime and would likely improve as an asset each year.

Because she’s demonstrated that she’s literally incapable of doing things any other way.

The only people she has hired are Magic and Pelinka, so it’s not that big of a sample size.


And Rambis. The pattern is there, only without exceptions.

Only attendance has nothing to do with exposure and media attention. The fact that two of the worst run teams in the league (Lakers and Knicks) have the higher attendance says a lot about their fans, not the organizations. They remain near the bottom in performance because the stars avoid them. Exposure and media attention only being available in the big cities is a 1980’s concept, so Jeanie most likely believes it.

I don't think that's enough for the Wiz to trade him.

Assuming Wall can even come back next year (doubtful), does that really get the Wiz anywhere?

It’s not just that. Linda Rambis is her closest confidant advising her on b-ball decisions. LINDA FREAKING RAMBIS, whose entire credentials are being married to Kurt Rambis, whose credentials include being nothing but a train wreck as a coach and front office person.

Jeanie has gone on record saying only four people can run the Lakers: Magic, Phil, Kobe and Jerry West. Ironically, she’s refused to bring in the one person out of those four that has the credentials to be successful reportedly because he publicly questioned her romantic relationship with Phil.

This tells you all you need to know about her obsessive insular worldview when it comes to running the franchise.

Leaving the Lakers was the best thing to happen to D'lo. He's grown into a good player, but he's never coming back here. That ship has sailed.

I'm hoping we can sign a top free agent and trade the lotto pick and one or two of our young guys for a third star. I'm pessimistic.

I also think the Pelicans will straight up refuse to trade Davis here no matter what we offer. They just don't want to do business with us.
