How does Rob Pelinka still have a job? @Post Ironic

He managed to piss off Kobe in the process. How does he still have a job?

I must have angered the wrong gods. That's the only thing I can think of

Ric Bucher is now reporting that Kobe contacted him this morning and told him that he wants nothing to do with the Lakers right now.


I can't believe this. This is horrible. Pelinka needs to be fired NOW.

Keep this up, and the chances of us meeting up in Philly decrease by the minute.

Haha im just messing with you. Pelinka really does need to go. The real problem here is Jeanie tho, she’s the one who appointed him and even if she fires him, who the hell knows what the replacement will look like?

Teams are better when the owners don’t get as involved imo.

I wonder if you guys can get Ujiri. That dude knows his shit. Too bad Hinkie got banned.

It’s probably for the best that Kobe isn’t involved.

Thats litterally what they need. WAY TOO MANY who went completely broke after their careers.


This was not a superstar (tho clear exciting talent), and didnt have long career, but gives you a heads up on the kind of life they can come from and what a stark change it is to have all that money (and fame), you can lose it all before you know it, its a nice read: https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/what-the-hell-happened-to-darius-miles

I'm well aware of all the broke former NBA stars, which I guess is to be expected when so many come from poor backgrounds and no financial management education, but these are just plain marketing opportunism. The theoretical day Leonard goes broke you won't see these guys anywhere.

Man, the chaos around this organization right now is just too much.

Apparently Jeannie Buss just like a tweet linking a story where Magic says if he could start over he would have replaced Luke Walton and Rob Pelinka right away.

Magic needs to stop tweetin and Jeanie needs to sell the team. At least the off-season will be that much more interesting on top of all the free agents.

Apparently the Rockets are having a fire sale. Everyone available.

We’ll give you TJ McConnell for Harden.

Of course! Because I’m the GM!

It’s apparently everyone but Harden.

I can't see anyone taking on Chris Paul's contract unless Houston is willing to take on some bad contracts back. His decline was in full swing this year.

I think that Clint Capela is probably the most attractive piece, considering he is a premier rim protector.

I could see Paul being attractive to a bad team looking to put butts in the seat. But yeah, bar some miraculous recovery, he’s on his way out though his assist numbers were still pretty good.

Agreed. Capella and Gordon are our big gets. I’m interested to see what Morey does. Apparently he’s dead set on retooling into a championship contender.

I want me some PJ Tucker, Eric Gordon or Gerald Green. Timberwolves have hired their VP as our GM so hopefully the connection is fruitful in finding decent deals.

 

[KB824]

Kuzma and the 4th pick for Capella.

Let's make it happen @Enron

Duuude. I’d do that. But I’d prefer Ingram.

Nope.

Not happening.

If this Lakers front office were smart

Ok, I digress.


They should seriously inquire about Capela.
