Phil showing Mitch and Jim how it's done.
**** prestige, **** legacy, **** the "Laker way."
That's the ******* New York Knicks, the Mecca of the basketball universe, blatantly going into full tank mode realizing they have no chance. Phil is being paid to do a job and he's doing it. He gives no damns about how Knick fans feel, he's doing the dirty work that needs to be done.
Jim and Jeanie care way too much about pampering die hard Laker fans in LA who are crying "we don't tank! It's not who we are!"
They should care more about stacking those picks and giving Randle a **** ton of talent to work with as he progresses as a basketball player.
Once again, Jim being an idiot is showcased by the fact that his ego would not allow himself to give Phil the power New York gave him. If he was here he'd be working that same magic for us, and you know he'd have Kobe on board too. He'd keep it real with him and tell him if he wants even the slimmest chance of winning in his final year they NEED to get that top 5 pick.
He'd understand Phil.
Unfortunately neither Kobe or any other person with basketball knowledge respects the way Jim and Jeanie are going about all of this.
Complete bafoons.
Like Ska said, as long as they are in charge of this organization there is no more "Lakers mystique." Those glory days are done. ******* idiots.
And yes, I have changed. No I still don't watch games and root for my team to lose. However, the management needs to set up this roster to have no chance. The players
And coaches are fighting for livelihood, they cannot be blamed.
Management however, can. They suck.
