It will be a game of chicken with the Clippers then because even if they don't want him back which I think they probably do, he is under contract for next year. So the Clippers are going to try to get something for giving him up. And I don't think the Lakers will waste the little draft capital they got on that.

I'm banking on a plot twist. Because the nba will not allow player coaches anymore, I predict Lakers hiring Brony as coach after some team tries to cockblock them from using their 55th pick on him. Brony acts as figurehead coach while practicing with the team and making 8-10 million per more for the Lebron family.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Coaches are simply scapegoats for poor performing executives and bad owners. The past few seasons has been a failure from the very top for the Lakers and I except it to continue as long as incompetent people are making decisions.

Thats not true. Last year (after tradedeadline) and this year they played pretty well. Losing against the Nuggets is not something to be ashamed of. I believe against any other team, the Lakers could have won the Series.

They actually had a good offseason. Its not managments fault, when several players are getting injured.

Hilarious that laker fans wanted him to use more timeouts but they had 0 timeouts left in the last 3 minutes of the game.

They sure could have used one of those timeouts at the very end to advance the ball after the Murray shot...

TBF a young team making mistakes, frequent TOs are good teaching moments. You shouldn't feel the need to spam timeouts when you have a 39 year old Lebron and a 32 year old Davis, you should be able to trust them to work **** out.

It's wild that Jerry Buss had seven children and not one of them is capable of running an NBA team, that starts on third base just because of its location and history.
