    I guess Dwight Howard called out Pelinka today for ruining a "Lakers Dynasty". He thinks Rob tinkered with a Finals winner. Specifically swapping out Dwight & JaVale McGee, for Marc Gasol and Montrezl Harrell. Dwight believes the LA frontline got worse.

    the bubble Lakers were loaded... what was Pelinka thinking ?? Why hasn't he been fired ?? Is LAL just saving Rob for the "Rebuild after LeBron" era ?? Maybe he's really good at draft picks?

    should LAL take the "Dame offer" from Miami for Anthony Davis?? Herro, Duncan, & draft capital for an MVP candidate sounds perfectly fair.

    I truly believe you should not be able to talk shit about teams that are better than yours. Just my opinion.

    Portland is not on national TV every week. They can lose with ambiguity. When the bad basketball is over, a new draft pick resolves into a brighter future.

    The Lakers are on national TV every week. They traded future picks to build this squad. NBA fans show up by the millions to test drive the Lakers Bugatti, and get handed the keys to a Daewoo.

    I was taught to be able to back up shit talking at all times. Can't talk shit about teams better than us....so I guess that will work.Those are the only ones as bad as we will be.

    Most duck fans think they're undefeated if the refs didn't cheat...

    Magic Johnson & owner Jeanie recently hopped on podcasts. They want Laker fans to give JJ Redick "patience". They insist Coach Redick should be given a learning curve.

    Laker fans aren't buying it. That's a fanbase that goes after the head coach. Imagine the Blazer weirdos who were upset with Stotts coaching, amplified by 10 million weirdos.

    Johnson and Jeanie want the Two-Timeline approach, LBJ doesn't. The fans don't either. Not until LBJ retires, then the fans will bitch about how stupid is was...

    Just like everyone will be bitching if we don't tank as hard as possible right now and then never have enough talent to actually compete with this group.

    someone tried to snitch on Jarred Vanderbilt's foot injury. The trendy tweeter claims Vando declined a procedure back in February, he's still having issues, and Jarred will need injury rehab during training camp.
