That shyt is just upsetting.
fukk these Buss children, in particular Jim, you got Laker GOATs all around you that want to help and you refuse them all. Kobe probably won't even get a spot with the Lakers after his retirement, these kids are committed to ruin their own damn business by trying to make it all about them when everyone has known since Jordan came into the league that's it is all about the stars.
I'm not saying put Magic in a position of power or let him pick the coach or something, but West is a top end talent evaluator, Magic would make for a hell of a recruiter and business partner, Kareem could at least put in some work with us(again, his last stint failed, but it was nice having him around). There are plenty of guys that could help turn this team around a lot quicker than what's projected and they just won't do it.
Free agents aren't going to come running to LA when we got nothing to show for a roster except two rookies(Randle is essentially a rookie and our next pick will be as well, if we even get the pick) and no other selling points except for a soon to be retired Kobe that's eating most of the cap in the upcoming year. The shyt with Phil set us back years, enough is enough and yet they refuse to learn.
