So, to improve the mood a little bit…
Thrilled to announce I’m joining the staff at
@LakersDailyCom
as their Lakers Insider.
And this doesn’t change anything. Still hosting The Lounge. Still writing on my substack. Just a platform for my exclusive reporting. Let’s get it.

The Lakers could’ve had one of the top rookies from a loaded class, a Mexican who grew up in the area and starred at UCLA… and didn’t even work him out individually. It hurts, man. It HURTS.

The Lakers passed on the opportunity to draft a legit good Mexican player who played at UCLA and grew up in SoCal. They didn’t even work him out.

Darvin Ham said he took Anthony Davis’ comments after G2 that the Lakers “have stretches when we don’t know what we’re doing” as “frustration”, and he’ll “agree to disagree” with AD.
Ham said the Lakers coaching staff prides itself on being organized.

The Russ trade really took the Lakers from title contention to outright implosion. I've already considered it the worst trade in Lakers history but it really might be up there for worst trade of all time, given the stakes. Wild.

Before LeBron, NBA champions were basically all decided by who had the better big man or whose big outplayed the other one. Now it's a wing-dominated sport. Surely just a coincidence.
Bill Simmons argues LeBron didn’t change the game of basketball
“LeBron was the best player in the league for basically a decade and a half and had one of the great careers ever, but you wouldn’t say he changed how basketball is played."

The AD trade gets a lot of attention but at least that netted the Lakers a championship. Clippers traded a zillion picks and SGA and haven't gotten shit from the Paul George, Kawhi Leonard era.

Really think Russell Westbrook stans should've made an all defense team this year. Given their assignment night by night they did some truly elite work.

So the Lakers will probably have to win two road elimination games in a row just for the chance to face the Nuggets in round one.

Russ has had an incredible career and he’s one of the most talented players I have ever seen. On an individual basis, he's accomplished things in his profession few will ever get close to in theirs.

With a win tonight, the Lakers could sit 6 games above .500. That would be their highest mark of the season so far. It’s a critical game for the standings against a team also trudging through the mud.
What I’m saying is they’re gonna be down 9 like 35 seconds into the game.

Pelinka was promoted without earning it, stumbled drunkenly into a championship, tore it down (thus proving it was an accident), made the worst trade in franchise history, hasn't fixed that mistake, and now gets an extension. Unserious organization. Period.
