Yeah it’s something you don’t ever sell but if you were to the offer would have to blow you away such as 8-10b. |

Good for her |
I didn't even know they were dating. Seems like an odd couple to me. But maybe Jay will weigh in on roster changes and personnel much like Phil did. |

The NBA is the best soap out there and I'm reminded of the infamous shouting match between then GM Bill Polian and Jay Mohr on Indy radio nearly 20 years ago. |

People want to blame LBJ/AD, but the real culprit is the top of the Lakers food chain. The people she hires to run the front office, ugh. We are getting constantly lapped and fleeced by other front offices. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

The Clippers are getting even less from their superstars if you account the avearge of the 2 stars playing games. At least AD and Bron play half the games at a near MVP level. I'm not saying the Clippers are run well, they are just spending a ton on quality role players.
We just needed to make some moves to keep depth around what we have. Jeanie isn't willing to pay for those moves. We let Caruso walk, we trade with capspace in mind, to stay under the lax tux repeater tax penalties. We trade for Westbrook, giving up KCP and Kuzma, 2 key 2-way guys. We fire our champinship winning head coach to make him the scapegoat, only to see the new "players" coach with a "strong voice" have the team in the identical spot.
I mean no one reasonable here is asking for a title every year from AD/Bron. However we should be a better team than this, and that's on the way we're choosing to operate. We're trying to play a game of where we neither want to invest to win a title nor we want to invest in the future to get a future title team going. We're literally investing the most weight in mediocrity. By keeping AD, we're also wasting away our lone trade asset that could fetch a future of quality. We probably held onto him way too long. And as others have argued, if we are going to keep AD, making the Hield/Turner type of move was a must to keep the team competitive enough to be a playoff lock. |

Great for her. Now please sell the team and enjoy your marriage. Obviously she is not capable of running the team. |

I doubt he has anything to do with the team.
I mean they were together for 5 years without anyone knowing they seem to stay out of each other's professional life. |

Somebody from the Jim Rome show is going to be the spouse of the owner of the Lakers. You can't make this up. |

That's social media. If you are going to use it to try to promote stuff, you have to get in the muck with the rabble. |

More like the other way around.
If she is the owner of the team, and the team is horrible, she deserves the blame. Tweeting back is not helping. |
