Yup and it’s frustrating watching them be clueless offseason after offseason. They’ll let Bron walk, sign scraps to replace him and watch Luka succumb under too much workload & AR struggle in the playoffs on a contract that’s about to immobilize them.

I swear if you look at all the benefits that come from being the Lakers and the luck we got with the Luka trade, you realize we actually got one of the worst front offices in the league.

Yeah. Losing LeBron for nothing makes this summer almost impossible to be a net positive when the reality is they’ve set it up to need to be a major net positive. This summer has been circled on their calendar since before the Luka trade. They just want to pay LeBron as little as necessary for him to stay.

Seriously people hating on Bronny just tells me they don’t watch the games. He’s young and improved each year. He’s never gonna be an all star I don’t think but he’s had his development stunted by the heart thing and I think he’s a positive on the court. Needs to improve his ball handling and shooting but there’s not many back end of the second round guys you can’t say that about.

I understand the places aren’t physically that far apart but even then, the man cares about his legacy and image to a T, and I don’t think this is necessarily a great look, and what even are the odds in the rare off chance they manage to win a ring that he would be the FMVP to add to “legacy points” against MJ
