Bill Plaschke has highlighted the problem with the once- storied Lakers franchise. The problem is at the very top. Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka. Way too much emphasis and importance tied to LeFraud and AD. All one has to do is watch this year's playoffs and watch the elite teams. The Celtics, The Wolves, OKC, The Knicks. The Lakers are not even close to those teams. They give LeFraud the keys to the Hollywood Castle and let him build his bloated castle, while ignoring team dynamics. This team will continue to go nowhere as long as Lebron James is on this team. The Lakers have just another also-run team, a la Atlanta, Sacramento, Brooklyn, etc. Just watch The Celtics, The Wolves, and especially The Knicks. Jeanie Buss took over during the 2013-14 season and has let this team fall into the abyss. This team is living off it's historic eminence. This is confirmed on its current Forbes market value. Jeanie is sitting on a Gold Mine, and this has clouded her decisions and mindset. Nepotism hirings of the front office. I have boycotted a team I have watched and rooted for 60+ years, because Jeanie allows one player to hold the team hostage, all in the name of his personal legacy. Unlike Jeanie Buss, Pat Riley had the gonads not to agree to LeStat's gropings and fire Spoelstra. Riley stuck to his beliefs and put King James in his place.
SINCE ITS NOT GONNA BE THE 100% SURE THING NEXT LEVEL COACH MARK JACKSON (nba ostracized?) AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF 100% SURE THING FIRED AFTER 2 YEARS JJ REDICK____IF WE'RE GONNA CONSIDER JJ.... I WOULD GIVE A "SLEEPER PICK" A CHANCE....REGGIE MILLER OR RONDO.
A passing of the torch is clearly happening in the NBA playoffs. All the old guard is gone...LBJ, Curry, Durant... So what does the media push for the Lakers? Let's extend and max out one of the over the hill has beens. So frustrating for a 5 decade Laker fan. 😭
This and other Lebron Media keeps blaming the Coach and other Players. Now they are saying Rob needs to go. The Two that need to GO Lebron James First and then Jeanie needs to turn over Control to Joey and Jesse.
