I think the problem with that is the FO that cedes the responsibility more than Lebron. Lots of players I’m sure have takes that don’t get indulged!
It may not be popular here, but Pelinka’s accomplishments are basically tied to “works for the Lakers” and when he had to use his own discretion it’s nearly always a disaster
Which ones? I think their window closed when they let KCP and Caruso go to clear room for Westbrook.
Yeah that’s the crossing the rubicon moment
Doing the Lord’s work!
Get it all out now before Scottie Pippen gets a subscription.
Being the Lakers GM may have been tough in (the first chunk of) Jerry West’s day since there wasn’t unrestricted free-agency until 1988. But after that, it’s been pretty cushy. You’re at least starting on 2nd base, if not 3rd.
I mean, they got the best players of 3 different eras (Kareem, Shaq, Lebron) to sign as free agents!
Kareem was traded.
Don’t ruin my narrative!
tbf he did request a trade (according to wikipedia, either to LA or the knicks, though he might’ve preferred the knicks). getting guys to request trades to your city is pretty similar to signing them in FA on this specific point, i guess
What he said! It totally knew this!
BREAKING: Boutros requests trade to Wisconsin message boards
How could Duke not figure out how to use Lively more last year?
I mean there is literally only 1 thing he can do
His usage this year is 12, he is among the least “used” players at his minutes level in the league
So it’s not as if he is used now. He catches 2/3 lobs a game
Man Phoenix is in total disarray right now
Time for the Suns to blow it up and trade Booker to Detroit
Turns out not “running offense” is a problem against good defenses
So trying to run your team like its nba2k2024 doesn’t really work out??? Congrats Ishbia
Idk what the Magic ate at halftime but, I want it
Too bad Ishbia seems like such a nice guy.
