Also, CAA hates them too for whatever reason, probably some shady thing Rob did in the past. Klutch and CAA basically have all the stars in the league on roster.
What is Rob even good for. He’s not maintaining good relations with the power agencies, every other front office hates him. Who does he even have a good relationship with outside the Lakers front office.

Yup. I said this weeks ago. Rob and Jeanie are actively destroying the Lakers appeal.

The only thing saving the Lakers is the appeal of living in LA.

1) Sell the team.
2) clean house. From top to bottom

I hope fans realize this is a very real thing and not some Klutch/LeBron agenda, with how much the league has grown, stars don’t necessarily need to be in L.A or N.Y to build their brand anymore.

All of this for 2 fken picks.
Fuck them picks man

The running of this organisation and its treatment of LeBron and AD has doomed us for years to come
isit65outsideor
These opinions are so useless. The Lakers will survive unless they are committing mass murder. Players will come to the Lakers if LeBron doesn’t win again.
Lakers survived Kobe achillies, Robert Sacre years, Mozgov and Deng. They will be fine.

1. Be obsessed with getting stars
2. Don’t maximize those stars and hunt for other stars instead

Good news in all of this is we’re going to get a clear cut answer in what the front office wants to do. We either trade our picks along with Westbrook or we punt the season and LeBron asks for a trade either this year or this offseason and AD follows suit

The problem with the Lakers is they seem…LAZY and cheap. Yea the Westbrook trade sucked but you’re the Yankees of the NBA, why are u cheaping out on Caruso and sitting on your hands with TWO stars playing at a high level.

Jeanie was stupid to not offer both picks for Kyrie when there was a window.

Some of you guys need to take a deep breath. So dramatic

How is paying him treating him bad? How is not mortgaging the teams future for a weak team today going to keep elite players from Los Angeles? How and when are these dramatics going to stop?
Please trade them both 🙂

And to think that the Buss children don’t want to sell because of the legacy lol. The great Jerry Buss wouldn’t have let things get this bad.

Not an Irwin fan, but he’s 100% right.
As a a matter of fact, when it comes to giving proper criticism of the FO/Jeanie he’s the best person out there with the Kamenetsky Bros as a close second.
For whatever reason Trevor Lane doesn’t go all in with his criticism, and others who cover the team who are closer to organization itself or our local ESPN affiliate don’t want to lose their jobs (don’t blame em).
While fans who never wanted LeBron here (you know who you are and what your reasoning is and it’s f’n immature and ridiculous) aren’t sweating this out and might even be happy we’re hurting LeBron’s chances of a fifth ring and might even be celebrating the failure, long time fans of this team who care about our future post LeBron know how bad this era will hurt us.
Players/agents are all taking notice of how poorly we’re run, and unless there’s a massive regime change or a sale nobody is going to want to send their clients here.
Tatum is a huge Kobe guy. When his contract is up, do you see his agent advising him to leave his future in the hands of Rob and Jeanie? Does a Middleton or Klay consider leaving their already solidified positions on their current teams to join “the crown jewel of the NBA”?
The answer is no. Jeanie and Jim before her have done irreparable damage to our reputation.

I understand there’s been injuries but having a first round exit and 2 seasons without even making the playoffs (not even making a top 10 seed in the conference) in the 4 years you had LeBron and AD is downright embarrassing. I wouldn’t be surprised if LeBron and/or AD request a trade this offseason, this shit makes me not even wanna watch the Lakers

If you listened to Brons post game interview he Reiterated playing to win chips is where he sees himself playing. This was the message to trade for talent now or he is gone next year.

The brand will be just fine

Klutch took advantage of the Lakers. They did every single thing LeBron asked them to do time and time again, and it all went to shit. And y’all want to act like the Lakers are mistreating that MF? Fuck y’all. Go back to Cleveland. He fucked us over.
To be clear, Rob is incompetent. But that’s exactly why he gave Rich Paul’s and LeBron’s dumb asses the keys to the car.

How does one become an agent ? Or vice president of operations ? I think I’m going for a new career path

Fuck the picks, you go all in on improving the team. You have arguably the greatest player of all time. You are squandering the last great years, you are destroying
everything Dr. Buss built the Lakers on.

Can’t wait for LeBron to leave
kobestillbetter
it is almost like the best success the Lakers has ever had is by drafting players and developing their own talent.
star hunting sucks. star hunting has always led to failure.

Who cares what this Laker hater has to say? We could be the 2nd seed an Anthony Irwin would still be shitting on the team
