So there is pretty much nobody except Mitch from the PJax days now? Other than the Buss family? |

Someone posted this the other day so I knew Judy was gone, but I assumed it was on her own accord. That's surprising to me that they would let her go. I wonder what happened there... Anywhoo, wishing Dr.(?) Seto the best... |

Welcome back to LA, Jen Swanson.
Bulls hired her while Rose was working on his rehab and since he's now in NY, they let her go. Sorry to see Judy go, but glad to have Jen. |

As long as the Buss family's around, Tanter's staying as long as he wants. When he took a step towards retirement by no longer doing Dfender games, it was his call. It was great to have him do games where only a handful of people would show up at the Toyota Sports Center on weeknights, but it wasn't going to last forever. Of course, the season I decide to get season tickets is when he retired from Dfender games. |

I don't think she worked on anyone other than Kobe, so it is logical that she is no longer employed by the team. By her twitter message it seems she made the decision to move on.
Lets continue the youth movement. |

Honestly. I wouldn't mind that. I know I'll get backlash for that but. Tanner and stu are so outdated imo. Even Billy mac. I'd love to hear some fresh voices. I'd even take Ireland play by play over cheesy ass Billy mac. Move trudell into Ireland's spot on the radio broadcast. Ireland and mychal Thompson would be nice for tv Or even worthy and ireland so that mychal can keep his radio show chemistry going with trudell. Take worthy off pre/post game hes old n boring anyway. He says the same stuff all the time. I'd like to see Jamie and horry as the main tv personalities. AC green gotta go too lol. Horry jamison and fisher would be nice for pre post game show.
As for tanner. Replace him with skrillex. |

Are most of the people who were working under Vitti going to get replaced? Did we replace Vitti? |

This will be Lawrence Tanter's 35th season as the Lakers' PA announcer, even though he'll be 69 this December , it's his call on whenever he wants to retire. His replacement on the Dfenders is Jason Barquero, he's a good guy who does a decent job, but this is one call-up to the big club that probably won't happen if Tanter hangs 'em up in a few years. The Lakers will probably have some handpicked candidates llined up rather than go through an open call audition. |

Yes Vitti retired. Vitti's assistant Marco Nunez is the new head trainer, Nina from the Dfenders got the call up to be Nunez's assistant. Nina's been awesome, glad that she got the promotion. |

Sad to see her go, I'll always remember her laughing with Chris Kaman in that game where the lakers didn't have enough players and Kaman pretended to sleep on the bench, lol. |

Judy Seto worked almost exclusively with Kobe, so that's not big news she's leaving. |

Seto has a very succesful practice she was basically hired to get Kobe ready for every game, most likely the guy who took Vitti's job made the call on bringing her back or not, and since she was there so long probably better to start fresh |

I'd remove every single "personality," radio or otherwise, currently associated with the Lakers -- bar Tanter and Thompson (just let him go out on his terms. Besides, "modern" stadium announcers are pure hack). The Franchise that Chick Hearn Voiced deserves better than FRESH SNOW |
