West absolutely called the shots with State. He's the reason they drafted Klay, didn't trade Klay for Kevin Love, and he's the one who sealed the deal with Durbeta.
It's the same thing here. He's technically an advisor, but we all know what the deal is. That being said, the rest of the front office is full of competent people now, and they're all getting to learn from one of the greatest executives in sports history.
I agree he is a sounding board but you are exagerrating his recent contriobutions.
Memphis was his last job calling shots. and grizz were good, not great.
I absolutely wanted him back with Lakers in that role, but apparently we were happy with just his son.
Tobi and Bobi!
It's like someone thought, "Their nicknames rhyme...package them together. They can't be separated."
Jerry west so smooth. Dude is a silent dealer unlike magic who ing goes on talk shows saying we’re getting a superstar. This is why other teams actually listen to or wanna talk to West. It’s not even about teams hating the lakers. If we had west I guarantee more teams would actually consider dealing but since magic runs his mouth so img much they tell us to go ourselves.
West also wouldn’t listen to a loudmouth dad telling West to take his son 2nd overall
Also clippers are in amazing position for 2 max if they deal Gallo or even an AD trade. I personally believe kawahi is going as I called it months ago. Solid young players along with role players who know their roles is a perfect setup for stars to come. Plus La weather without the pressure.
west about to make me switch LMAO!!!! HUGE JK
oh definitely he would have took Tatum or Mitch. West knows hisWest also wouldn’t listen to a loudmouth dad telling West to take his son 2nd overall
West also wouldn't have drafted a parade of busts with all those lottery picks, so the Lakers would have had desirable trade assets that other teams actually wanted.
Anyone who saw Magic's tweets or the he used to say on ESPN knew he was going to be a terrible GM, but this is legendarily awful.
False. Not a true portrait killing magic is fine but painting West as the savior for ish he didn't do is the same false narrative that Rangers struggled with when Nolan Ryan was part of their executive team.
Again not saying West wasn't involved. And isn't a asset he absolutely is. Just stop the hyperbole.
My favorite Magic as an announcer quote was after the 2011 finals
”Magic, what did Dirk prove this year?”
”He proved that he’s a champion.”
By winning a championship he proved that he’s a champion. Brilliant take Magic!
To be fair, I read that Jennie Buss(
How does Jeannie Buss get a pass while her brother is viewed as a pariah? They haven't gotten any better since he stepped down

At least Jerry Buss wasn't around to watch his kids fail at running the family business..he also missed the historically bad last years of Kobe..died at the right time

Damn, sad but worried that's true ...Jeannie Buss is the Ivanka Trump of basketball
Not really, he just fell on their lap
Never bought into it being a retirement move. He was a global icon in Cleveland, there’s no benefit to be had in playing for a poorly ran franchise like the Lakers.
The fact that he and Rich Paul are pulling hard to get AD, is all you the indication you need that he wants another le before he hangs itnup.
Nope there isn’t. The big market theory has been debunked. 90’s basketball logic theory
Sit this one out.
It’s all about appearance imo. Regardless of the fact she hasn’t accomplished anything, she presents herself as a professional businesswoman who knows what she’s doing. Phil’s positive reputation has also definitely rubbed off on her.How does Jeannie Buss get a pass while her brother is viewed as a pariah? They haven't gotten any better since he stepped down
Meanwhile Jim Buss suffers from a bad case of resting Down Syndrome face and has the demeanor of a goofy rich kid who’s never had to be serious about anything. The bag long hair and the unkept facial hair only makes it worse.
Would anyone actually look at this guy and think he’ll ever be the brains behind a championship team?
He was right on that point; not much else.
