I think there should be a thread for those of us that have faith the FO is doing and will make the right moves to build us back to the winning Lakers.
The reaction by most here today reminds me of the fans reaction when the Knicks picked Porzingis in the draft.....they hated it at first but loved it later.
I truly believe the Laker's FO are on the right track with the direction they're going.
I BELIEVE!!

Thank you for being positive. I liked the trade and I think it sets up the team well. |

It's funny you bring up the Knicks because this reminds me of when the Knicks cleaned house for Carmelo, even when he said he was going to NY anyways. _________________ Phil Luke |

Bad analogy, Porky is on the trading block because the front office on the Knicks is too inept. Oh and Melo is still pissed. |

Magic and Pelinka are very SMART & successful. They know what they are doing! I have confidence in them. |

It's not like Porzingas. In one instance, you are gaining a huge upside legit triple threat player with question marks.
In our case, we're giving away a young talent with huge upside for.........4 years of 6th seeds then rebuild.
Yay. |

I don't believe in or not believe in this front office. It is way early to see what they turn the Lakers into. But I will be dammed if I am going to act like the vajaja monologues all over the message boards because they make a move in the beginning stages of their tenor. Most people are grown men in here, wouldn't know it.

So far... this move makes Magic look like an outrageously incompetent PoBO.
Having said that... final judgment is withheld until all the moves are done. There is a path to turn this atrocious trade into a necessary move to a bigger, winning plan. I'll wait and see what happens next. _________________ A three headed monster... Jeannie, Pelinka, and Ham... another terrible season.

I tried to tell guys here that the Lakers were not going to go into next season with a bunch of young guys playing no defense and acting like winning 25 games per season makes you a lifer.
Not in LakerLand. DLO found that out today, others will find out shortly. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

Im quietly optimistic that we do have a deal lined up for Paul George
Theres no other way this trade makes sense. I mean Magic is impulsive and dumb. But theres a lot of smart people around him. Right? Right ? |

Really, the trade was about creating contract space a year from now. I don't expect to be around a year from now, and wouldn't be surprised if he's traded before the season ends.
To me, this simply means the FO (1) didn't think that much of Russell and (2) believe the future is really about signing a couple of top free agents.
It's not an unreasonable strategy (though Russell is a high price to pay to shed Moz contract). But a few years from now it could look really smart or really stupid. |

I mean do we have a choice?
How long did Isaiah THomas have in NY before they realized he was completely inept at holding a FO job? |

You can post it on the P&M thread
I'm going to see if we land Paul George before judging them. |
