It seems as if they want a full rebuild. Trading Damian is the last piece of that puzzle.

It's been written about in a few books that I read over the years...I think one of Pearlman's covered it but don't worry I got ya lil buddy

Friday, the offense went up on the rack to find the cause of the sputtering attack, reducing it to an 83-point, 22-turnover, 34.9%-shooting Edsel. The flashlight went on Coach Del Harris, because Magic Johnson put it there.
Johnson had been blunt in his assessment of the 87-83 Game 1 loss to the Houston Rockets, noting that the Lakers seemed lost with the ball but more specifically that his game was messed up because Harris couldn’t decide where to play him. Maybe Harris was trying to take advantage of his versatility, but either way, the series was 2 1/2 hours old and the team leader was frustrated.
It goes on a little bit more in the article and I'm sure you can find other resources if you want to look into yourself.
To recap....a star player who hadn't played in 5 years was frustrated for playing like crap and blamed the 60 year old guy with white hair.
I have literally never heard of a player blaming someone else for their mistakes. Crazy.
Had a better 60 year old been sitting on the bench, Magic would have played much better.

I was watching the Magic piece on Apple TV+ and don't recall Elden Campbell ever displaying this level of swag:

My dad hated Elden so much back in the day for being lazy.

Elden had a nice game. Good post player with jump hooks over both shoulders, solid midrange shooter and excellent defender. Small hands though would always lose the ball trying to dunk with one hand
Peeler, Campbell, lynch, ceballos, divac, nick and Eddie…..those were some fun years

Me: Magic was unhappy with Del Harris' coaching, and that's one of the reason's he re-retired.
You: If anything Magic should be unhappy with himself because none of that coaching stuff matters.
Okay got it case closed.

League changed so much in 25 years. IIRC, the Lakers would sometimes start Elden and Shaq together.

Same with my dad. I dunno if lazy is the appropriate word but still...
Elden had a lot of unfulfilled potential.
I remember going to the Forum and seeing him drop 34 on MJ's Bulls and my dad was still upset with him

When I think of Elden. I recall a game vs the Knicks when Shaq was out. He dropped 42 or something but missed a game winning layup. Lost in OT

So is CP saying that coaching doesn't matter?
Honestly don't even remember what this is about and I don't wanna go back 40 pages
