Also: scouts can say draft whoever but ultimately it's the GM who makes that final call. The gm's name is attached to the draft, not any scout
Mitch believed in Ingram too much & it cost him his job lol. That's crazy. he literally got fired cuz he cared too much about the long term success of the lakers than his own job. A true soldier. He was down for the cause. [emoji]128591[/emoji][emoji]127997[/emoji]
Mitch always gunna be a Laker legend.

While I had my gripes with Kupchak lately, I think it's ******** to oust him two days before the trade deadline in the middle of the season. A hard working employee of the organization for 30 years.

We all know the bad coaching hires
Letting Pau and Dwight walk for nothing while Ainge stockpiled picks for Pierce and KG
Kobes contract
Passing on IT and Lowry
drafting Dlo
Many mistakes
Let's see what Magic does
Mike Brown over Brian Shaw was the right hire, Shaw was a terrible Head Coach, and they tried to move away from an outdated system (The triangle)... Mike D'Antoni was the next best name up, Phil wasn't serious about coaching (Had Nash, had Dwight, and it backfired because of injuries). Byron was done to appease Magic Johnson, and all the people who constantly talk about the Laker way. Luke was finally the right hire.
Pau's market dried up quick as hell after the CP3 trade... They did trade him, for Chris Paul, and got screwed out of it. After that they couldn't get any value for a guy who was still playing near All Star level because he was making so much money. In 2011-12-13, he was making 33% of a teams cap space. That's entirely the reason they couldn't get a framework for him that made sense.
Dwight is an entirely different test case... Was the first I'm leaving more money to go elsewhere. And he left a big market.
Kobe's contract was engineered by the one who calls the shots
Lowry wasn't coming here...
IT2 is an actual mistake.
Drafting Russell instead of Okafor was a pretty damn good call.. One that I would have gotten wrong.

Waxing poetic like he didn't just sign Mosgov and Deng to terrible deals. This was cumulative effect.
Told y'all this was coming.

Agreed, timing was bad. But let's remember none of us know what was discussed behind the scenes.

They could've just put out a presser saying Mitch and Jim were re-assigned to new roles. But to just fire them.
AND JOHN BLACK TOO.

If we hire an agent to be GM it's gonna be like Dave Stewart and the DBacks. Don't trust Jeanie or magic to make a solid hire

Why? The deadline was up. If Magic has people he wants in place get them in as soon as possible.
