**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

[tupac003]

I'm not sure. I'd have to look into it.

I'm not saying you, me, and Ska can show up at Staples tomorrow and make Jeanie pass the keys by next weekend.

But if local media is reporting our displeasure, and crowd is booing every night and sales are down, TV ratings down etc, she has to either push everything in to compete again, or sell.

Portland is going thru something similar with Jody Allen. (Her brother died leaving her in charge) this area barely even talks Blazers anymore they're so done with her. She's under pressure. When/will she sell? We'll see.

I know we have no problem voicing our displeasure but I don't think the majority of Lakers fan would actually voice it.

Staples is always sold out and our fans barely boo. The most discourse I remember is that Christmas day game.

But as disconnected as Jeanie is, I don't she would notice if the fans started to boo.

Lakers are a cash cow....

But I hope someday Magic and his group can convince her to sell.

 

[pmatic]

Feel like Jeanie did use the season ticket sales and sponsors to fire Mitch and Jim (to go with the bad teams), but I could be wrong.

 

[grittyman]

We don't.

If that’s how you see it LOL

Online discourse =/= real life

We beat trash teams and lose every game we play vs good teams.

We lost to Dallas without Luka or Kyrie.

We aren't competitive for real and it's sad you think we are. Laker fans should know actual competitive teams vs the pretenders. The fact you don't know the difference is sad and another indictment on Jeanie and Kobe's agent.

Jeanie loves you.

That's the hard part. She keeps Bron goin cuz he's her cash cow.

If people stopped going to Staples she'd feel it. But folks go to see LeBron. (And I understand that, similar to folks goin to see Kobe, or Kareem)

She's eating off that while not actually pushing for a title.

Even the trade we made just saves her money. (Hopefully another trade follows and increases spending if it improves the team, otherwise.....)

You know who else does that… beat bad teams and are under .500 against other teams in the league?

Probably about 2/3 of the teams in the West… there’s one team that’s dominating good teams, another one or two that’s pretty good and every one else is in the same boat.

Try again man.

Uh huh........and, uhhh.....do you believe Phoenix is a contender?

Do you think that Sac is?

Golden State?

Minny?

The Clippers?

Soooooooo, we are the same as those unreal teams, which makes us.........not, real, contenders.....



What are you angling here? C'mon fam.

I never said CONTENDER… I said COMPETITIVE you do know the difference between them right.

Cut it out

Ok, competitive, great, big diff there.

We are "competitive"

With the 7-8-9-10-11 seeds. Yay us, Go Lakers.

We aren't a real contender. Period. And that's unacceptable. You have two elites making ~90 mil and we're "competitive" with the riff raff.

And you're good with that.

You understand it now.

I have my own takes which are realistic. You have your takes which are…. yours lol.

We don’t have to agree. There’s nothing else really to add to this conversation though.

 

[CP1708]

Jeanie love you.

 

[grittyman]

Jeanie love you.

Cool.

No one cares but I think you’ve said that about 5-6x already. Gotta work on some new one liners

 

[CP1708]

I've said it way more than that. And it's true. She is living off people like you carrying her and Pelinka's water.

"Yeah, but is Pat Riley even all that"

But spends his days fighting for Kobe's agent.

She def loves you and your work.

But hey, we're......competitive.

 

[grittyman]

Carrying water = pointing out how terrible some (most) of your takes are

And I’ve said more than a few times that I don’t really care about the ownership, stay or leave the show will go on. Funny if I ask a question or point out how ridiculous the takes are you seem to take it personal… now why is that?

You haven't said anything about my takes. You don't read them correctly anyways.

I said Riley (or insert whatever Pres type that strikes your fancy) and you spend multiple replies (meh, what has Riley really done?)

Which is it's own ridiculous point given how much you back Kobe's agent.

What has PAT RILEY really done anyways?

(Forgetting that I said you can pick any Riley level type you want)

You aren't challenging anything.

I won't even talk about your Presti take.

 

[pmatic]

Ty Lue typically doubles AD, Dunn will be guarding Reaves and Bron has Kawhi/DJJ waiting for him.

Tonight will be tough.

 

[pmatic]

Too many turnovers so far.

 

[grittyman]

NFL games over, just now switching over to hoops.

Mo Bamba sighting lol

 

[pmatic]

Knecht appears to be out of the rotation.

Edit:
Nvm, he just checked in.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Rui is so damn mediocre.

I’d trade him for Timelord in a heartbeat

 

[CP1708]

Too many turnovers so far.

You told me that wasn't a concern.

 

[pmatic]

You told me that wasn't a concern.

Again, they commit the fifth or sixth least turnovers per game.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Ivica Zubac looking like prime Marc Gasol out there, getting anything he wants against the Smurfs, even with AD’s skinny xxx on the floor.

The longer Pelinkydink waits to make a trade for a starting big man, the more the Lakers will be at a disadvantage cause their record is just gonna keep getting worse and worse

This front office no longer knows what it takes to win a championship, wasting Bron and AD’s years in the process.

What a damn shame and embarrassment

Down by 16 against a team with one freaking big man who ain’t even All-Star caliber smh

Unbelievable.
