You guys are smart fans.
You guys just arent taking into account that Jim Buss is not smart.
He's not going to think like people like P or Essential think.
He wants to make money, he wants to fill seats.
He wants to "show" the Laker fan base that hes trying and not being ignorant.
Hes going to make moves with his ego instead of his smarts.
So you making all these great points to us about signing a 30 year old pg is cool and all, but we're discussing a franchise that just gave up 4 draft picks for a 40 year old point guard...
So i doubt that Buss cares that this dude is approaching 30, thats probably as young as 18 to him with how old and broke down our players are these days.
This is why i say theres no point in convincing so many fans to be "smart" and "think big picture."
It doesnt matter what we think.
Jim Buss is gonna do what Jim Buss wants to do, and it wont be a pretty sight.
So if hes going to train wreck this franchise, id rather have Dragic on it than not.
The smart way of going after a younger man like Reggie, who we can all understand now is a better value, is most likely not going to be the route he takes.
So we can sit here and discuss all the "smart" ways of going about this rebuild, but we arent in charge. So who cares if we understand it or not.
If a stupid front office like ours gets us Dragic, its better than anything i expect them to actually do for us at this point.
Even though its completely stupid to give up picks and ruin our top 5 pick chances.
Thats how low my expectations have become with this front office, word to Ska.
