i'm in the minority but i'm glad we didn't resign him
I think both Boogie and Sac needed to part ways and I'm a huge Boogie fan. I think that the environment just was not good for either the player or the organization. I'm still wondering what Sac wanted from LAL aside from Ingram to get him I would have loved to have Boogie in purple and gold.
AD23 and Boogie together arguably the two best bigs in the league this should be interesting to see how that works out.

off the court he is a great guy just on the court and in the locker room he is toxic. no one liked playing with him.
we already suck. now we will suck some more and hopefully rebuild with guys that want to play together.

Yup. Good move.

Rooting for it.

Well the rumor is that they will be trying to hire Rob Pelinka to be the GM

Everyone knew. This had to happen.
Heard magic interviewed today...no goofy laughing answers, all straightforward no bs determined forward moving energy. And when asked on tanking.....no fucking way.
Nothing about Luke though

yup, I know. Yet another really important game for both teams. I'm kinda a no excuse guy, but I'm getting really effin tired of playing without Bradley. It's been well over fucking 20 games with just about 25 left
What's the "6th"?

good to hear. Funny... my kiddo texted me this am that it's 'getting harder and harder to hate the lakers'. Just watched JB speaking on just how hard the decision was and how that contributed to its delay. The class is back in LA. Fires out. Love her. Now get good to get hated again.

I had totally forgotten until I read it today that at one time the Kings had Hassan Whiteside, Isaiah Thomas and DeMarcus Cousins.
Having those three right now would've easily made them a playoff team and now they have nothing but garbage to show for it.
The past few seasons when the Warriors weren't playing I actually liked watching the Kings (Grant Napear is an underrated announcer IMO) just to see how long it would take for DeMarcus to have a meltdown during the game. They aren't going to be as fun to watch now that he is gone.

grant is good but his partner jerry sucks. everyone loves him though for some reason. just because he is old i guess.
did you enjoy watching the garbage kings beat you guys a couple weeks ago?

Well I'm sure she didn't want to make her brother step down like that especially when Dr Buss wanted it to be a family operation across the board. Just sucks that Mitch and John Black were caught in the collateral damage. I can't think of why John would need to be axed but maybe there are other elements at work. I do know that Magic will at least get meetings with FAs.
They also just traded Sweet Lou for a 1st round pick even though it will be a late first round pick its still an asset and this frees up more time for the kids to play without Luke feeling obligated to Lou who has played great this season and I'm glad he is going to a playoff team.

Umm Bob Myers was previously an agent and that worked out pretty well so I will let it play out before I judge

Looks like they're keeping Ryan West who I guess Jim and Mitch didn't really rely on too much, now Magic just needs to pull the ultimate coup and get the Logo to come home.

Naw Jerry isn't coming...I too feel bad for John black..He was calateral damage...Poor Jeanie...Tough decisions to have to make...I am proud of her and bummed for her at the same time...She proved to having bigger balls than Jim...And she fired all involved personally...Shelbourn on the radio said the thing resonateing around the league is respect to Jeanie for handling her business like a champ
Forward we go...Hope John and Mitch land on their feet

I agree on Mitch and John, we all know my disdain for Jimmy but like you said still shitty for a sister to have to fire a brother like that. Logo has hinted that if he was asked he would consider being an advisor but I know its a pipe dream.
Sad to see Sweet Lou go but a 1st and he gets to go to a contender and the kids will get more playing time so it should work out for all parties involved.

Dr. Buss is beaming.
Vlade....
Mitch will be fine. He's essentially been drawing a check watching some of the biggest boneheaded moves the literal asshat could manage

Vlade got fleeced for Boogie. Hield is likely going to turn into a top 20-ish player if he continues to work but you don't give up Boogie for so little.
