We had a great run, an unbelievable one with Kobe in the past 18 years. Things have to wind down. We have a chance to rebuild in the next 2 years or so. Things will have to get better. Last night was a new rock bottom. Getting embarassed against our hometown...yes, rival.
But I believe competition is good. It'll hopefully motivate the FO to expeditiously but smartly rebuild. |
Exactly. Success is cyclical. And this is just the down side of the cycle. I don't understand why this concept is so foreign to people. |

If the FCC approves the merger...considering the pro-business state of our government these days, it will most likely go thru. |

Well they have big expectations...if theres anything about the Dodgers I've learned is they have let us down when there are big expectations...most of their success in recent years has come under the radar. |

I think the TWC reality stuff on the players can be a distraction to the players and their game, so yeah, in that sense it is a curse. It's also crap entertainment.

Wrong he got 6th man of the year of that first season of kloe and Lamar. I thought it'd mess him up too but it didn't. |

One could also say it started when Jim Buss fired his longtime employees during the lockout. & if Dr. Buss was the good ole Doc everyone claimed he was, why did he stand for that to happen esp. since some of those employees were scouts when Doc Buss bought the team from JKC. |
One can also say that the current scouting department is much better than the old one. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Bad decisions, creating a bad internal culture, limiting yourself of potential moves with the amount given to mamba...
Now here we are, we suck, and I pray...i hope that the organization is, without having to admit, all in on tanking. Thats the first step into rebuilding. Blow it up. Trade who you can and lets begin

Sounds good to me.
We are young team. Only time will tell if they develop into something special. |
