Jeanie is sounding better in press every interview, front office now seems unified and that is great for the Lakers |

Byron Scott was everything that was everything that was wrong with the Lakers, once he was removed all has been forgiven. |

It wasn't just Byron Scott. It was the lack of direction and vision the team and FO had with him. I'm guessing the impetus for his hire was 95% Kobe and 5% winning a championship. They were trying to close Kobe's chapter but he just rank out of ink.
I think it's fairly clear that Luke will try to establish a culture from the get-go and his tenure will be a more player-centric process. He won't have complete say in who the Lakers sign in FA, but I'm certain they'll go for the players that fit his vision. I'm looking forward to it. |

I guess we have 3-4 more years until the Phil Jackson to LA rumors resurface. Enjoy it while you can. |

Management diffinitiely looks more self-entitled then they did the last couple of years, maybe they realize they need to change there ways if they don't want to be looked upon as a bad family group. |

The Busse's have taken some hard blows for the past coaching decisions and failed attempts at signing the top big free agents. They seem to have realized the only way to make it ok is to work together and stop throwing each other under the bus and finger pointing through the media.... mainly Jeannie. |

I really have no problem with how they are running the Lakers like most in here. At the end of the day, you need players to win. Lakers had Phil and Kobe from 2005-2007 and they won zero rings. They get Pau and suddenly they become great again. The Cavs have a whiney crybaby owner and they just won a ring. Ifthe Lakers win a ring 3 or 5 years from now, will Jeannie and her brother suddenly become great owners. |

Fans only remember & care about "What have you done for me lately" so the FO will surely be viewed in a more positive light if and when the rings come. |

If that's true then technically she is the "head of the snake." |

No doubt! It's time for the FO to put up or shut up.
This summer and the next will be pivotal in determining the direction of this franchise. |

He knows his stuff. I've been impressed with both Joey and Jesse. Along with Ryan West, I think they will do a great job of carrying the organization forward. |

Adding talent is fine, but defining the culture is far more important. Talent wholeheartedly fails when there is none (see Houston and Sacramento). The addition of Luke will turn out to be the best move they've made in some time. I can't see them topping that unless Durant magically comes here. |

Excerpt from LA Times (6/21/16):
Quote: | coaching experience taught Walton to put an “emphasis on the culture,” he said, and plans to keep everyone accountable on the Lakers. |
