“This process is going to take a while.”
Ok, what other coach are they waiting on besides Nori?

I think they're waiting for the Ty Lue situation to be resolved.

Whoever's next, I already hate it for them.
Because it's definitely Boobird season.

Nothing will change until Lebron is gone
It’s always the same thing. Praise Lebron and what he’s doing at his age, give him more money……but no championship and blame the coach/roster
The roster sucks because we are paying too much to 2 players. And one of them is just too old to win a chip and carry a team. We saw how many times he lost Aaron Gordon, how he is slow getting back on D, how he doesn’t get calls…..his time is passing
As great as he is, he’s done winning chips

I get how safe that thinking is.
It's not a given, though.
For example, if I were told by someone from the future "In the next 3 years, 1 if these 2 players wins a ring but you must accurately name who it is or you die right now: Lonzo Ball or Bron," I'd say Bron.

I'm team tear it down but also will acknowledge it's not realistic especially seeing as well seeing as we just went through a rebuild. IF Bron would choose to want to leave it would be easier to sell that to the fan base, but they are beholden to him for a myriad of reasons.

I've been saying to tear it down but just also understanding that it's not going to happen and realistically is out of their hands to do so.
The ONLY way it would make sense is if Bron left.

It's pretty damn simple.
We all know a rebuild needs to happen, but some of us seem to understand it's not gonna happen until Bron leaves.
Not gonna whine every single day about things I can't control...
Doesn't mean we "BlInDlY sUpPoRt" either....

Like the last 8 months about Timeouts and hands in pockets, or do those not count?
(That's a fair question, nobody yell at me, that's a legit fair comparison.......)

I had the unpopular opinion that we should blow it up after the PHX second round loss a couple years ago.
AD’s value is high right now since he played so many games this season. We can get picks and young talent.
And trade Lebron to a contender so he can chase Kobe and Mike number of rings…..get more draft picks
It won’t happen, I know

You are correct. He is not one of them.
90% of the thread was, and they weren't called out for complaining about things they can not control.

As of right now I don’t really have a preference that I think the team should go… you never know what can happen over the course of 82 games and the playoffs, not sure how many people had Indy in the conference finals for example but I know that I didn’t. But a couple of key injuries to some teams that were ranked ahead of them and here we are. Could that same fortune happen to the Lakers next season? Who knows… but definitely not if they blow things up and start the rebuild.
Maybe if someone could put together some hypothetical realistic AD trades, I’d feel a certain way about whether or not it’s the right move.

Anything can happen.
I'm not stupid enough to believe we would be the odds on favorite to win a title. But it's not impossible to think it could happen.
Blowing it up early doesn't increase the chance of a championship sooner either.
If the franchise is so unserious as one poster continues to whine about...why would that poster trust that same franchise to get a rebuild right?

Ok well that's who you quoted.
That's who you were responding to.
Absolute thinking has got to be tough.90% of the thread was, and they weren't called out for complaining about things they can not control.

I mean it is what it is, but if those 2 had their exact same stats but our record were better instead of us barely making the play-in, each one of them goes up a team.
