For the record, he said that it's something he's heard and he has no idea if it's true.
It also seems unlikely given the fact that the Lakers did, indeed, offer Lue a contract. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

No, Bill. Our front office is just stupid and routinely screws up basic things. |

Exactly. Kyrie can tolerate Lue for 3 years but not 5? _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Bill Simmons is connected. He was one of the first to call LeBron to the Lakers when no one else was. |

I don't like Bill Simmons but I can't see why he would spin this story if it didn't have credibility, it must actually pain him to say it because I'm sure he would love to ride the "Lakers are dysfunctional" train as long as he can. He'd only say this if he wanted him breaking this before anyone else on his resume. |

Never thought I'd see the day where maybe I side with Kevin on that one. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

I was just watching videos of hard fouls and for the first time I didn't become annoyed upon seeing the clothesline. I'm going to tell myself it was a triggering event that put Kurt's life on the path to the 6 piece chicken mcnightmare that the Lakers are in today just so I can maintain a healthy chauvinism against Boston. _________________ "All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers."

It is possible that Kyrie let it be know he wanted to come to the Lakers but not if Lue was the coach, and he did so after they had already started negotiations with Lue...so they pulled the offer. I know everyone want to believe that Jeannie and company are dumb and incompetent, but this is what I suspected as soon as I heard about Kyrie. |

Same here.
Lue was inevitable . . . then the Celtics fell behind 3-1 . . . then the Lakers walked away . . .
TBH, I didn't think Kyrie, I was thinking they might want to talk to Brad Stevens. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |
