I don't think DLO is traded if Jerry is consulting the Lakers.

Impossible to say but I agree and I think there were a few other things Magic did that I don't think Jerry would have... kept DLO, brought back Randle, and I don't think he drafts Lonzo. |

| Such a shame, considering Jerry West asked to come back and consult the Lakers, and Jeannie stuck to an old, foolish grudge and said no. |

Clippers are one of most surprising teams in the NBA. Tip your cap. Lakers are the new clippers with banners in the rafter
Just a comical situation

The Lakers have done the opposite of what the Clippers have been doing, and more what the Knicks have been known for. |
I called it when we brought on Magic that we would turn into the Knicks, I wish it was only a joke. Too similar to Isaiah Thomas situation. |

| The paperclips are a one hit wonder. Even if they get Kawhi, they are not sniffing anything beyond the second round. Yeah we've taken our lumps but we'll be back on top in no time. |

I wouldn't be surprised if Jeanie knew that going with Magic/Pelinka would be leaving her mark on the franchise and she would be a genius if it all worked out. If she hired Jerry West, he would be a known quantity and probably get the credit. |

| It's a very bad look if the Clippers get Kawhi who is the second most coveted free agent this off-season. Both teams are in LA but he chooses the supposedly inferior one? When the Lakers have LeBron and a FO, contrary to the anti-Lakers media narrative, that commands a supreme level of respect from players? |

If that is true, that is a stupid reason.
You missed playoff now 6 years in a row. You need help. |

Ah, Lakers exceptionalism. Cowboy fans have been saying something similar for about 20 years now. Yes, we have advantages, but it is becoming apparent that those advantages are not worth what some of us think they are. |

That kind of petty nonsense is exactly why the Lakers will continue to fail. |

There probably would be some differences. |
Houston has more three point attempts per game than any other team in the league. They are about average in percentage made, but they do have a high volume of attempts. |

| We traded away what Magic himself believed had allstar potential in a salary dump at the chance to sign a vet all star. The clips traded away an all star at the hope of clearing space for a vet all star. Time to bring out the torches? |

Most would say the clippers got great return for Tobias Harris. They also fleeced the Lakers on another trade.
If the clippers don’t get Kawhi or another Max FA, yes they will get criticized.
The clippers, however, have not been as negligent and irresponsible as this Lakers FO in dumping/wasting young players and assets. |

This I feel is the elephant in the room, and what I would disagree with. There is a calculated risk in these moves, so the possibility of failure is already considered. It doesn't make sense to me to place additional criticism on the move after having the benefit of knowing the outcome. Sure, getting Billy King'd is inexcusable, but business of basketball is a game of making moves on a spectrum of risk and reward. There are never guarantee's with anything. |

Just the perfect surface appraisal the Maginka regime has come to count on. How about a quote from The 4 Agreements while we're at it.
Hey, if you noticed, Houston had 3 point shooters last year and still lost. So we don't need 3 point shooters! Just toughness! |

The Clippers have made the playoffs something like six of the past seven years while we've missed the playoffs six years in a row. If the Clippers are a one-hit wonder, the Lakers haven't had one in a long time. |

Have you seen what Zubac has been doing on a consistent basis.
Muscala has been worthless.
They are not doing the exact thing.
West basically got Zubac for nothing. What a terrible trade. |

The Clippers added a young 3 point sniper, we added a big that was on 3 teams within a couple of days. Plus the whole playoff thing.

Didnt think about it like this but it's very true. Unless big changes happen Lakers are going to be like the Cowboys where they live off the name and past accomplishments. |

Lakers
Draft picks that became Magic, Worthy and Kobe. Sign Shaq in free agency. Trade for Pau.
Cowboys
Herschel Walker trade. |

| The vision of both franchise's seem to be the same. The execution of that vision has been much worse by Magic and the Lakers compared to West's Clippers. This summer is make or break for Maginka. |
