The people who are (bleep) and moaning about Jeanie in this thread are oblivious to the fact that the only part of the team which has functioned properly since the death of Dr Buss is the business side - jeanie's purview. They signed the most lucrative tv deal in NBA history. Despite their record, ticket prices remain at the top of the league. Sponsorships continue to rake in big bucks. And, Jeanie was smart enough to know that she needed a basketball expert she could trust - enter Magic.
Nows look at the basketball side - a complete failure in every respect. Worst record in laker history.
And you all are complaining who won? please. |

Los Angeles, our @RamsNFL are showing us they're trying to win by trading 6 picks for the No. 1 pick! I love it!

If Brandon Knight were to come out, I would take him number 1 in the draft.

 The Brooklyn Nets probably have the most talent and could possibly win the NBA Championship. 
If anyone else on these forums made these comments they would be laughed at and would be told they were not fit to run the Lakers. |
Magic is very complimentary by nature and just picking up his buddy Byron. Magic says things that are flavors of the month. Brandon Knight #1 isn't so crazy at the time. Go back and take a look at the 2011 draft. Kyrie was #1, look who's #2, #3, #4, etc. Klay was #11 and Kawhi was #15. So most GM's didn't know the future. You can laugh at these things in HINDSIGHT. Just like you can laugh at Jerry West for saying in 1994, "Glen Robinson was the best player in basketball." Reporter asked, "In college ball?" West responded, "In basketball, period." |
.
You can try and defend some of his comments but to think the nets trade was good for New Jersey is insane! If a random poster posted this to you, I think you would be wondering how much this guy understand how to build teams. |

He might be "self made" but he only got there because hes 6'9 and the best passer of all-time. Put him in a 5'3 135 lbs body and he never does anything worth wild.
He also tweeted some very stupid things and most of them were about moves he would make. Ever since he has arrived it has been a pr nightmare.
The only thing I like so far is Rob joining the team. So I'm going to give the new FO sometime to figure things out but make a huge mistake and Id give them the axe.
And to Laker4life Yeah Jim needed to go |
Love the undertones here. Well done.
LMAO @ your "ever since he has arrived = pr nightmare" comment, where have you been for the past 3 years? So wrong  |

And the "business" aspect is also why you gave $48 million to Kobe. Nobody, including Jeannie, had the cajones to NOT extend Kobe.

West was lucky, there is no exact science to this. I like where we were heading with all the top picks, and I thought Mitch/Jim deserved more time than half a season post Kobe. We're only 6 yrs separated from the last title. West and Buss had a longer drought between 88-2000. |

Jesus.. I don't like want Jeannie did probably more than anybody in this forum, but it's done. Support the team or jump ship. Give Magic a chance instead of judging him already like you can see the future. And if you are a mystic seer, and it does look that bleak to you, nobody is forcing you to stay a Laker fan. |

It's ludicrous to compare the business side to the basketball side. The basketball side of the NBA deliberately punishes successful teams (causing the need for rebuilds), while the business side is a free market for the most part. The business side in LA plays with a stacked deck. |

If Brandon Knight were to come out, I would take him number 1 in the draft.

The Brooklyn Nets probably have the most talent and could possibly win the NBA Championship.
If anyone else on these forums made these comments they would be laughed at and would be told they were not fit to run the Lakers. |

Nows look at the basketball side - a complete failure in every respect. Worst record in laker history.
And you all are complaining who won? please. |
And the "business" aspect is also why you gave $48 million to Kobe. Nobody, including Jeannie, had the cajones to NOT extend Kobe. We've been replenishing more top flight rookies because we hit rock bottom. The other way to do it is to be middle of the road with no top flight rookies, which I've been through in the 90's. I was very critical of West for hanging on to everybody until they either retired or walk, and we may be on a 29 yr drought had Shaq resigned with Orlando. West was lucky, there is no exact science to this. I like where we were heading with all the top picks, and I thought Mitch/Jim deserved more time than half a season post Kobe. We're only 6 yrs separated from the last title. West and Buss had a longer drought between 88-2000. |
Mitch/Jim didnt deserve anything they should of been fired the day they signed Mozgov |
And they were. So what's your problem? I guess Magic? Give him a chance. |
I'll give him a chance, but just like when they signed B.Scott I gave him chance but I was thrilled either. |

I know in my heart that Byron Scott will be back coaching in the NBA soon because he's a great coach!

It's ludicrous to compare the business side to the basketball side. The basketball side of the NBA deliberately punishes successful teams (causing the need for rebuilds), while the business side is a free market for the most part. The business side in LA plays with a stacked deck. |
Amazing
- When it's Jeanine's success: "Stacked deck!" (can't possibly be her)
- When it's Jim failure: "It's not him" (big bad NBA making Jim act the idiotic way he did)
Forget the fact that good teams like San Antonio haven't had to rebuild because of good FO management. |

yea keep tossing out nonsensical strawman arguments 
anecdotal exceptions like the Spurs do not disprove the general rule. just because something like that is possible does not mean it is probable |
