Too bad Jeanie ain’t got the money to get a bob myers. She’s handcuffing the team with her tiny pockets. Kinda crazy to think the LAKERS owner is incapable of doing what clippers can do simply because Balmer can afford to sign anyone he wants. Just sell the team if you want to do what’s right
Rob Pelinka messed up opportunities to keep players like Malik Monk because he missed managing the payroll and you can only sign players to mid level contracts how did you get in this mess in the first place? Yes Rob Pelinka got rid of Russell Westbrook to DLO etc but the only thing Rob Pelinka did was clean up his own mess.
Sounds like Jeannie is turning into mark davis. Time to sell the team to someone who can get these coaches and great players into the building like Dr. Buss used to to do.
I been said it Rob seems like he’s the problem, we all have to understand he’s a agent, not trying to put him in a box but why can’t we just hire an actual GM since we are clearly starting to move in the right direction… all of this is so frustrating as a fan and embarrassing college coaches turning now a 17x champion franchise smh… 6/70 is disgusting btw.
I don't blame Rob at all. This is just another example of outsiders using the Lakers brand to hype themselves up to build value and oopportunities for themselves. It's been like that for some time and it won't change.
That was a good offer. More than that, at least to me smacks of desperation. You can't compare to Balmer. For all his expenditures, he hasn't made good choices. They still have not advanced past a Conference Finals. Results matter. I don't think it was the money. Hurley was still going to stay. He wants that 3 peat. He has succeeded there. Going to the Lakers in a pre period of transition and the pressure of being the HC of the Lakers is not front of heart. JJ Reddick is not the answer. Been down that road with an inexperienced coach. Hire James Borrego, Hire Sam Cassell, Rondo and bring back Phil Handy. If not Borrego, go with Wright and call it a day. Shore up the weaknesses; find a physical big/rebounder to help AD. Another shooter and backup PG. Get Vando healthy and get ready for the season.
The offer should have been 90 for 6 years plus incentive that's 3 more million a year but as soon as I heard his wife didn't want to move I knew he wasn't coming and they should have known that too
wth does this Dan Hurley deserve just as much money as pop spo or lue tf. all nba championship coaches no way in hell people are delusional. the offer was more than fair double his salary at UConn and a big amount for someone that is unproven in the big leagues.
If Hurley knew he wanted to 3peat, he knew he was not coming to the Lakers. The problem with the Lakers, is that they still think it’s a privilege and a honor for them to want you. Those days are long gone. The Laker’s win in the bubble was a legit tittle, but a fluke because their plan was to get Kawi and Lue. When that didn’t work, the did what they had no choice to do was to fill out a roster. They ended up with their 3rd choice for head coach who just happened to be a defensive savvy coach. Non off those great moves was their first choice.
Jeanie should do like Mark Cuban and sell team but stay on the business side, if she doesn’t have the heart to fire her “FRIENDS” or the financial backing to make the necessary moves in todays league.
I'm done with Jeanine buss . She needs to sell the team. It will be worth billions . The franchise is still dysfunctional under her leadership. They are too stuck in the past. There's a possibility LeBron might leave in Free agency.
Lakers what is down will rise up it’s okay that nobody believes in us right now. But you’re never see the Larry O’Brain looking at the ground! Some come on Lakers Nation Black Mama mode!💪🏾💥
Dr. Buss was all about business. He was a closer and knew when to cut bait. We need new ownership to compete in this day and time. These buss kids have no clue . Jenny just surrounds herself with her friends , not professionals. It's ridiculous at this point.
I don’t like the Pelinka hate to me his only major fault was Westbrook and he still managed to turn it around
Lakers are still flexible with their contracts and players
Kawhi was never coming to the lakers with the ridiculous demands he was requesting and he was never healthy so blessing in disquiet with lavine the value isn’t there we’d be locked up in a severe money cap for a player who’s just slightly better then a DLo and would gut the depth
Everyone was sold on ham and yeah it didn’t work but who else was available at the time
Ok so say you still don’t like Rib who the heck do you replace him with you can offer the house to someone but you can’t make certain people say yes just cause “you’re the lakers” I think people forget there’s a lot of laker fans but literally everyone else is against the lakers I personally think he’s not perfect but he has been stable GM for us despite these roller coaster situations personally everything has gotten better with Rob I think people forgot how bad it used to be before him the team needs consistency he was new to the job and there was plenty of moments in which were singing his praises idk I don’t get the hype you can’t have it all I can’t picture a different GM bring just as effective for the lakers

After all these hiring & firing coaches why not do the same w/ the front office change isn't a bad thing
The Hurley hype is very weird…excellent college coach. THATS IT.
Anything Lakers…. we ALWAYS get to hear what Magic thinks. This time around, radio silence. It would be interesting to hear his take.
Lakers lowballed again. 6 for 70M is a trash offer, should have been at minimum 6 for 90M everyone said 15M per season was your baseline
I wouldn't be mad if Lebron and AD left
Jeannie Buzz the female mark davis
5 years ago was the time to reconsider front office personnel. Now is the time to get this thing right
I been said it Rob seems like he’s the problem, we all have to understand he’s a agent, not trying to put him in a box but why can’t we just hire an actual GM since we are clearly starting to move in the right direction… all of this is so frustrating as a fan and embarrassing college coaches turning now a 17x champion franchise smh… 6/70 is disgusting btw.

Nobody wants to coach LeBron

If Hurley knew he wanted to 3peat,
he knew he was not coming to the Lakers. The problem with the Lakers,
is that they still think it’s a privilege and a honor for them to want you.
Those days are long gone.
The Laker’s win in the bubble was a legit tittle, but a fluke because their

3rd choice for head coach who just happened to be a defensive savvy coach. Non off those great moves was their first choice.
Why don't we try Jacque Vaughn?
Didn't want Hurly. Bring on JJ Rondo and Phil.
Some of y'all aren't real Laker fans. I hate some timey ass people. Wanna scooch back when we winning. Stay over there please. We don't want you.
Screw it, trade for Cameron Brink
Jeanie should do like Mark Cuban and sell team but stay on the business side, if she doesn’t have the heart to fire her “FRIENDS” or the financial backing to make the necessary moves in todays league.
Crypo arena should change their name to Walmart. Lakers are too cheap to sign players and coaches long term.
Lakers are cheap this ain't new
I'm done with Jeanine buss . She needs to sell the team. It will be worth billions . The franchise is still dysfunctional under her leadership. They are too stuck in the past. There's a possibility LeBron might leave in Free agency.

jeez….just get Chris Paul, Dwight, Carmelo,Iguidola and Paul Gasol.. dang were back to Finals!!!
Trevor must have said Ballmer so many times just to slight Jeanie Tight Wad and Clueless Pelinka.
