The point being that the Clippers are competitive WITHOUT their star players. The front office has done a good job listening to them, making their own decisions on players, retaining bird rights, and making the "layups" that a front office needs to in order to be competitive.

The Lakers have failed miserably on all those fronts as a front office.

It's about putting your star players in a position to succeed. And they haven't done that. Clippers have.
That shyt don’t mean shyt to me without a rang.
All I care about is rangs which we got 2 yrs ago. And I would do it in a heartbeat again

Why isn't Ty Lue the coach? Why isn't Caruso/DeRozan a laker if he has such control (fuk the $$)? Why didn't the Lakers resign Dudley at the end of the bench locker room guy if he has such control?



And these are only the blatantly obvious ones that we know about

Saying that he doesn't have major influence in the lakers FO and being Ty Lue's dad or being able to convice teams to take Westbrook for Derozan are different things :dahell:

I also believe the coach signs the assistant coach.

He has influence, like every star player.. but the idea he has MAJOR influence doesn't seem to pan out based on the example I stated. If he did, then those decisions would have been made and they would have traded those 1st round picks already.

The "major" decision that he was involved with was Russ..... And even then the Lakers actually wanted Russ and you're a fool if you think they didn't. Lakers front office are obsessed with a 3rd star idea (kawhi, Russ, Beal, Kyrie,etc)

I don’t think the owners give a fukk they seem broke. Every time I watch a lakers game it sounds like a home game on the road so I can’t see them caring if they are still getting money.

So you think if Lebron was the GM or even owner he could trade DeRozan for Russ :mjgrin:
For Westbrook and what 2027-2030 first rounders?


You really think The Lakers wouldn't do it if they could?

Also why do you think Ty Lue would wanna go into that situation when he was was gonna get the clippers? You are acting like these cats don't have their own decisions, like it's Lakers that can do whatever they want but they are not doing it :dahell:

LeBron wanted DeRozan first, but most importantly the front office is the one who decides on the compensation.

I can say hey I want "x" but if the other team wants too much in return for "x" then it's on the front office to say no deal.. that's their job

As if that would have went over well with Lebron :mjlol:
