We need a guy that's not looking to just make the playoffs. This team may need to go through "the process" to weed out the crap. What GM out there will not be satisfied with just trying to make the damn playoffs? I want to fucking compete for a championship already. 20 years and only once has this team advanced past first round. :punch:

We've got a top 7 guy on our roster next year. Doing "the process" makes no sense. The point of that shit is to get a guy like that.

No, it's to get 3 guys in the top 25. We are nowhere near that.

Easiest way to do that is bottom out.... isn't it?

Or win the lottery. How else are we getting these great players to add to Towns? I like Roco, but he's not the guy imo. He's maybe a 4th on championship team.

That is the question! Moving up in the draft for the first time ever..... hmmm... I mean, it's like a 10 % chance they get into the top 4.... I think for sure the top two guys are franchise type players.

Somehow McHale got Cassell and Sprewell in 2003. You need some luck for sure.

Or just hire Pop who will find gems in the last 1st or 2nd.

Anyone see Luke Walton being accused of sexual assault by a sportsnet host? Wonder if that has anything to do with his termination.

Apparently that alleged assault happened before he became Lakers coach.

Is there a time table as to when Glen will hire a new president for the team?
Is he going to wait until after the draft lottery?

Not related really, but Phoenix fired their coach. Absolutely stupid.

I would guess they have someone in place before the draft lottery.

Nice work by Vlade. Total moron. Fired a very good coach that exceeded expectations by a mile, and replaced him with this bum. The Maloofs must be rolling in their graves.

You may be right, but if we were to actually win the lottery our open position would be much more attractive.

No he didn't. Kidd was interviewed by both Pelinka and Rambis.

Yep, he's been with the Lakers since last fall. No chance he's the head coach going forward.

It's possible but an existing GM/POBO isn't going to jump over just because they won. I think they'll interview the four guys they have lined up then make a decision.

Maybe even more ironic is that Kurt Rambis, maybe the worst HC ever, is interviewing candidates to become a HC.
