Honestly bro, at this stage I feel as though they need to sell the team. We have a large enough sample size now to realize that the Buss family cannot successfully run an NBA team.
We are at knicks and suns level of dysfunction. It wouldn't matter if we had top five picks for the next decade, our ownership would find a way to screw it up like the Suns.

I was ok with Monty or Lue (one of only 5 active coaches to win a title). Championship level coaching experience is invaluable . The optics of getting turned down by both of them is really indicting of the front office

None. That's what I been telling ya'll all season.
But again Lue's only success is tied Lebron. That doesn't make him the best coach.

1. He's a championship coach
2. His success is tied to Lebron who we have, no?
That absolutely makes him the best coach for the situation we have.

Laker thread 2 weeks ago:
Why the hell are we looking at Lue? He’s just a puppet! A lebron yes man!
Today:
How do we not sign a guy with championship pedigree like Lue?!!!!!

So you wouldn't be saying Lue is just Lebron's puppet and Lebron is running the franchise?

I can't even front, it's pretty incredible how the narrative around signing Lue changed so quickly. Amongst the fans and media, it went from "the Lakers are just signing LeBron's homeboys" and "this is proof that LeBron runs the franchise" to "how did the Lakers botch this?" and "Lue is a championship coach" etc.

I acknowledged Bron is running the franchise a while ago.

All this is proof Lebron actually doesn’t run the franchise lmaoo.
Lebron is aware of his perception. Bruh is staying out of everything and letting Pelinka/Rambis/Jeanie come off as idiots.

Lebron went to bat for Lue, I don't think he believed he'd turn the job down.

My thing is ONCE you decide to pursue someone, then it’s an embarrassment when they turn you down (if you’re the Lakers). Happened twice.
The way they botched that whole offer and Pop telling Monty not to take the job, pushing Kidd on Lue, all that is an embarrassment

A coup?
Isn’t Jeanie the controlling owner of the team?
Nobody but tmz can make her sell

we're pretty much doing everything we possibly can to screw this up. We can't even do the simple things right and yet this is LeBron's fault somehow
