Official MAGINKA Front Office Thread (Ignored coaching staff's pleas to re-sign Brook Lopez and Randle pg. 145)

[monster_montego]

I'm going nuts!! I wasted two weeks of my life perusing the forums every five minutes!!!!!!!

[Inspector Gadget]

You guys are embarrassing the Laker fan base, can you guys relax?

[CantStopJM]

Do you even realize why we had to trade DLO?

Because of what Jim and Mitch did by signing Deng and Mozgov to those albatross contracts.

FOH.

[KindCrippler2000]

75% of our offensive and defensive woes could have been avoided if we just kept Randle and BroLo.

Magic is chilling, eating popcorn just as in his famous GIF not giving two yucks about how this unfolded.

[nickuku]

If Jim Buss could lock up terrible threads I'm all for it.

(bleep) NO!!!! Jimmy put this franchise back 4-5 years with his bs decision making. Those 2 fools couldn't attract flies with honey. If him and Mitch were still here We would have a starting lineup of:

Dlo
Jordan Clarkson
Luol Deng
Julius Randle
Mozgov


That team would win 12 games. We're in a MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better position with Maginka at the helm these past 2 years.

They way they handled the off season and now the trade deadline should have them on the hot seat.

OP confirmed Jim Buss.

That Lebron guy was a pretty good signing.... Buss was responsible for DLO getting traded due to the garbage Mozgov and Deng contracts.

Sorry Jim, your family even realized you were incompetent. He isn't even qualified to be a Lakers custodian.

I hope people can finally see Jeanie buss is the the one that is hurting the franchise; and she didn't make it any better by hiring magic and rob.

[Shaolin's Finest]

So I'll give the front office props for landing Lebron, but everything that has transpired afterwards has been a complete disaster. They have shown everyone that they have no idea how to build a roster. I understand it's only their first full year, so growing pains are to be expected, but then why would you turn down Jerry West who wanted to come on as an advisor? The Lakers hire every former Laker from Byron Scott, to Kurt Rambis, to Luke Walton, yet when the Logo asks to help we decline his services??

Let's not even talk about letting Randle walk for absolutely nothing...

So to start, they waive Thomas Bryant, who is coming along very nicely for Washington, to keep Zubac. Zubac, who has shown flashes this year, gets traded along with their free agent signing Beasley for an inferior player in Muscala, but we made the trade because we need "shooting."

We traded our rookie Svi and a future 2nd round pick for Bullock, because we need "shooting."

All those young assets have been wasted and thrown out the window when they could've simply just used all that cap space last offseason to sign a couple of shooters. Not having enough shooters in 2018 is an issue everybody saw would hurt this team, except Magic and Rob. That is absolutely inexcusable.

We kept the kids, the picks and the cap space flexibility

Summer 2019 here we come

[audioaxes]

if Jim Buss was around he'd still be frantically sucking up all cap space on overpaid players for lame win now moves to keep us in mediocrity indefinitely
