When is Magic gonna bring a title to the Dodgers? Is he gonna bring back Fred Claire? How about putting Tommy Lasorda back in the dugout?
But yeah, I'd much rather bring back West than Phil |

Instead of focusing on 70 year old guys like Phil and Jerry West, all greatness aside, shouldn't we be looking to the FUTURE instead of in the past? _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Be careful what you wish for. Jimbo goes away and gets replaced by people no more competent but twice as arrogant and machiavellian. |

Personally, I do not see the problem with his comments.
Magic is entitled to his opinion about Kobe and Jim Buss.
All of the people who support Jim or want to criticize Magic for his comments are entitled to their opinion.
I think Magic like a majority of the fans are not happy with the current situation with the Lakers. |

I think that other than some of the time with Phil, most here on LG can only recall people that moved up form within the organization (FO and coaching) to having success.
No idea if the key decision makers inside the organization feel that great things can be accomplished going forward with that type of philosophy or if they need to bring in Outsiders at high levels to shake things up. |

All I want is for the team to win again. I'm sick of being in the lottery every year. If the person responsible for us being a winner is also an ass, so be it. For me, it's not a popularity contest. And you say "no more competant"...we have the 2nd worst record in the league right now, so we're pretty much at rock bottom right now.

If Jim had an ego, he would be feuding with Magic, Stephen A, and all of the other chicken littles who constantly bash him. He has allowed people to vent their frustrations on him with little to no complaints. That is the opposite of an egomaniac. |

It doesn't matter if you played for them or not, If you don't like something their doing in the organization, it's open season to trash them. |

I think if Jimbo goes away, it will bring closure.
Whether it was right or wrong, it does not matter to me.
Jimbo had his chances to hire the right coaches and bring in the right players,
Unfortunately, it did not work.
If Phil fails, at least we will know. We definitely need to bring closure |

This is just embarrassing overall for the Lakers.
Shame on all of them. (though Jim has fired the least amounts of shots...mostly coaches that he's fired). _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Who are you??? I'm a Lakers fan who is tired of Magic continually throwing the organization under the bus in the media. Stop pissing on the Lakers organization and worry about the Dodgers organization. It's not doing anyone any good. |

Sorry, read your post wrong . How can we say it's truth when he doesn't criticize the first obvious about what's going on and that's his buddy coaching ability. He went on radio touting him as the best and obvious coach for the Lakers. Anyone that has eyes and a brain can see that Byron has failed miserably. So what is Magic doing? Is he cherry picking who he wants to blame or is he being HONEST about what he's saying? I know, anytime bad that happens, it's Jim's doing and anything good, it's Jeanie, Mitch, Ryan's doing. If he had love for this organization, he wouldn't hammer them about this stuff. Like I said in previous post history, I don't see any Celtics greats trashing their organization and they've had worse stretches of being bad than the Lakers. Shut up, see what can be done to help and stop badmouthing it every chance you can get when potential FA's are looking for another team. He's doing more harm than good. |

You know Magic isn't ownership anymore. He's not affiliated with the team. He's just another fan, and like any fan, he's entitled to feel what he feels. |

So you're saying that someone that brought us 5 championships and loves the Lakers to death should stop going on radio/TV and giving his opinion about why we suck so much, because it could somehow make us worse off than having the 2nd worse record in the entire league? I mean, we're only better than 1 team in the NBA. We've had 3 consecutive years of Team Tank threads where fans are rooting for losses. How bad should it get before people who have a voice step up and beat the drum? Should we all put our heads in the sand and pretend this isn't happening? |

That's the only appropriate follow-up question that, of course, nobody outside of Don MacLean and silverscreen&roll have the balls to ask: "Does your criticism of Jim include his coaching choice?" | considering Magic was so quick to rip D"Antoni any chance he has in the past, this is a very legit question to ask him. |
Absolutely. But nobody has the naddies to ask. _________________ We back. |

Yeah, that entire decade in the 80's was a complete disaster
C'mon guys, we're better than that. We have a rich history that needs to be praised. There are 28 other NBA teams that would cut off their right arm to have the level of success we've enjoyed, and Magic is a huge part of that. |
