Yeah, I feel really badly for the Lakers Daddy.![]()
Not so fast mi amigo
Josh Kroenke owns the LA Rams so we all know what that means.![]()

They were fine with Bruce Brown, KCP and Gordon in the lineup.
Their main priority should be finding a point of attack defender.
Then a second option that's consistent and healthy. Murray is the definition of unreliable.
-250 points. Joker for Wemby doesn't work on the trade machine son.![]()
Are you going to trade Luka for him? Who or what draft picks do you have to trade for him?
Hopefully this wasn't the Nuggets trying to get a head start on going after Taylor Jenkins while the Spurs stand around with their s in their hands waiting to see what Pop decides.
Jeanie ain’t giving up White boy Reeves so you can dead that lmao
Hachimura and 2 firsts
What a dumpster fire of a franchise. Let’stake Jokic off their hands. Just need to get him to publicly announce that he wants out
This is an idiotic NBA trend that needs to stop immediately.
Sheeiiit! Luka haven't signed an extension yet. Not even Austin safe if Joker is obtainable.![]()
O'RLY

A combo of Austin Reaves Vando Rui and Gabe Vincent will git er done (+ picks, etc.).
Before you farmers doubt the possibility, Kwame for MVPau and the Luka trade comes to mind.

Works for me![]()
I thought this was Centel at first![]()
Karl Malone
Post Malone
Joker might be gone
Lakers in 5!![]()
and just like that we have a bunch of coaching candidates. I'd pick Jenkins over Malone, but would be fine with either. Let's hope Pop stops holding the franchise hostage.
Forget Jenkins, go get this guy
I guess punting your season right before the playoffs is a thing now. Weird.
I'm guessing the Nuggets consulted Jokic before doing this, right? They wouldn't have been stupid enough to do it without running it by Jokic first, would they? Jokic has had a historic season and It seems like you're torpedoing your season just before the playoffs. I'd love to know his opinion on this move this close to the playoffs.
And yeah, firing a coach right before the playoffs is absolutely stupid. Is the league paying the Grizzlies and Nuggets to do this. It seems to give the Lakers and Warriors direct advantages coming up to the playoffs. If you were going to do this, it needed to be done at least 2 months before the playoffs to give the team and a new coach time to adjust.

Yeah this only makes sense if Jokic wanted him gone. Yeah, they've been dog on D all season but they haven't really been healthy all year either to be able to establish a rotation where, among other things, Russ could conceivably run an offense the eight minutes Jokic will be off the floor in the playoffs.
Now I'm thinking the lineup against the Spurs was dictated from above to show how crappy the rest of the roster is; the result is the justification for cleaning house.
Still though -- it probably won't get better in two weeks with a new coach.
NBA teams have to be the most poorly ran organizations in sports.
The Nuggets weren’t going anywhere. It made no difference - now, tomorrow, next month. Didn’t matter.
I follow the Nuggets and I heard Joker say a few months ago paraphrasing - “there is no on/off switch. There is no switch for a team. You are what you are”
That was red flag to me he didn’t believe in the roster.
This isn’t happening with Jokić giving it a yes. It was done with him in mind. Bob Meyers is out there - that’s a good hire. Then let him choose his coach with Jokers input.
MPJ and Murray should be out the door next but their contracts are horrid.
