RIP Good Doc

End of one, if not, the best eras in Laker history. My condolences go out to the Buss family.

Are we going to do anything special for him before or at the Celtics game Wednesday?

I'm not too sure this will fix the chemistry issues or provide a spark.

Other than Kobe, Pau and Metta, I doubt any of them had a relationship with him.

Unlikely,,, just another reason this season is

Feels like there is nobody left that truly understands Laker tradition now other than Kobe and Mitch and both are likely gone soon...
