Adam Silver in interview with Chris Haynes (at around 6m52s):



Silver: "We can have a special Lakers timezone. It seems like they have their own channel, it's called ESPN. I've been watching for the last few days. I have it on in my office. It's round the clock."

But for me, I wouldn’t want it any other way. I want people talking about me, good or bad, because if you’re not, you’re not doing something right. I’d rather be talked about bad in L.A. than play in Orlando and not get talked about.”

Of course. Seems like he gets more right than wrong.

Those chumps have always ate off the Lakers. People got whole careers, homes, boats, kids tuition covered just by the Shaq and Kobe feud alone.

It's nice to have a supportive commissioner. As a Laker fan, I'm not used to it.

Yeah I’m suspicious af when anyone outside the Lakers circle talks anything positive about us. I find it safer that way. But it’s good he’s making the effort to recognize a bias in the media.

It’s actually sickening. They cover us more than they have the playoffs. And majority of it is just rehashed rumors.

Silver is just Stern's old lackey. I find it dubious the idea that he's pissed that BSPN is bashing the Lakers. Not too long ago he grumbled that Brawn left the East, read: he left one of the many flyover franchises that needs to be boosted with money from richer teams to join the Lakers. He's just pissed that the Lakers get more coverage than the teams in the Finals and Toronto in the Finals gives him a pants tent. He'd screw us like Stern did if given the chance. He's gotten rave reviews ever since forcing Sterling out, a no-brainer move. I doubt he was encouraging Stern that he needed to go and/or drumming up support by the other owners behind the scenes because it was the right thing to do even before the racist comments were exposed. Sterling was known to be a Trumpish landlord type, an abject weirdo, and a parasitic owner for years. As for "They'll figure it out," what's giving him that notion? The fact that they've done so well for the past 6 years?

I disagree. Anyone who would take a meeting with a Rich Paul about Luke Walton has a shady side. Why would he feel comfortable in talking about that kind of thing with an AGENT?!i do appreciate his honesty when asked point blank about it,... but talking about it with Rich in the first place was wrong.

Did you listen to the interview?
Silver said he was eating with others and Rich happen to be there.
And Rich just mentioned it in passing.
Not a meeting.


Side: Silver seemed to insinuate that one of the people there leaked the info as Silver didn't really think much of the encounter.

Yep. I'm a little impressed how Silver bashed ESPN with a few simple words. I guess
less is more.

Adam is part of the hype machine. Lakers accused with tampering $500,000 fine, while clippers and other teams only get $50,000.
