Laker Talk

All morning Brian Windbag and the rest were talking about how Aldridge blasted the Laker meeting for not having analytics and being old and moldy and focused on LA and shit. So the locals pick up and blame Kobe for most everything then everyone else for being stupid and out of touch and needing to get analytics and shit.

Right in the middle news breaks that Aldridge is giving the Lakers the last meeting - a second meeting.

Ooops.

I don't know why anyone cares. Aldridge isn't winning shit in LA

    Lakers won't win again until Kobe hangs it up. Ditto for Little Jimmy Buss.

    Jeannie Buss needs to shake her knockers on camera again for Showtime to return.

    Why is Jimmy Buss the scapegoat? I'm not sure if he even does anything important. Kupcheck makes the decisions on talent.

    in lakerland, if magic rips you, you become a pariah

    he also is blamed for not doing more to make phil jackson come back to LA instead of knicks

    also nba stats nerds will never let him live down the comments he made about how he felt like scouting wasn't very important

    and he's compared to his dad with every move he makes or doesn't make

    Lakers have sucked since Jerry West left to be honest. They got lucky with the Paul Gasol trade.

    Good take RoadDawg55. Chris Paul update. ....Jordan takes less money to get away from him.

    Clippers lol

    At least the Lakers don't have to worry about them

    I always enjoy bad things happening to the Clippers. Fuck Ballmer and Glenn Rivers.

    Good points. So he's an idiot, fair enough. I just don't get why Jeanie and Kupcheck receive very little backlash, but lil' Jimmy does. And some of it is because of Jeanie's media manipulation, which is obviously a strength of hers.

    Hiring D'Antoni was a disaster, but they still weren't winning anything with Phil. They had a broken down Howard and Nash. That team would have been better with Phil, but they would have still gotten stomped by SA, OKC, and probably a couple other teams.

    The scouting comments are FS.

    The cancelled Chris Paul trade played a huge role in the Lakers being in the position they are now. It led to the disastrous Steve Nash trade, which greatly contributed to D'Antoni being hired. It had a real snowball effect.
    Jeanie Buss has proven she sucks too.
