Somthing I think a lot lately... do you really think Dr. Buss would have fared a lot better in this competitive era of the NBA? I don't know... he has the privilege to run the wealthiest franchise in the world of professional sports and pay more than its competitors wich at the same time weren't very shrewd or prepared... and he doesn't have to pay dividends to the six kids in the Buss trust while satisfaying AEG, TVs, Sponsors and so on... |
Without question, Dr. Buss had a sharper mind than his kids, and he hired good people. I'm not sure why you think competitors in Dr. Buss' heyday weren't shrewd or prepared, or why you think Dr. Buss wasn't constrained by the salary cap.
However, I do agree that some of the previous Laker advantages no longer exist. |

Rationalization is a personal exercise which is used as a coping mechanization for dealing with conditions otherwise intolerable in the light of the actual facts.
I can't help you there.
If you wanted a reasonable discussion of the issues that assail and handicap the Laker organization today, avoid rationalization. |

Everyone is piling on the Lakers, making Jeannie angry. Now AEG piping in how they are Fed Up.......time to divest from AEG.
Every other day a quote from an "anonymous" rival executive, i.e. Clippers ballboy......
Time to circle the wagons. |

This is some Game of Thrones bull (bleep) until new ownership comes in and burns Jeanie, Rambii, Phil, Pelinka, Klutch and the entire thing down. |

Klutch the only one with a dragon, El Rey
Jeannie owns Kings Landing
Then there are Varys (Rambii), Tyrion (Pelinka) and Jamie (Phil) |

Jeanie = The Mad Queen
Pelinka = Little Finger
The Rambi's = Qyburn
Magic was supposed to be Azor Ahai but he turned out to be Stannis Baratheon |

How are they going to get AEG to leave the ownership group? |

I think that he would because his MO was to hire the best executives and stay out of their way. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |
