Lakers fans are pissed and going to protest the organization outside Staples Center
- Thread starter Vanillalite
- Start date
It's the first time in my life I see the search for a new coach going that bad.
The lack of respect the Lakers organization showed to Ty Tue is shocking ! 3 years contract for a champion coach !!! When Luke Walton - an assistant - got 5 years the first time around ? That's embarrasing and I understand Lakers Nation frustration.
How about the "optics" now Jeannie ?

Dude that started the protest lives in Phoenix and isn't even going.

I mean he literally had and has nothing to do with the immense dysfunction that the organization has right now.
It was just as bad before he got there and it'll be just as bad when he leaves.
Jeanie Buss has no idea what she's doing.

The Lakers hired coach Ty Lue last weekend in all but an official capacity, so much so that Lue celebrated his birthday on Friday with a Lakers themed party. Then on Saturday, Kurt Rambis and his wife (who wields a tremendous amount of power towards Lakers principle owner Jeannie Buss) told her "no, he has no leverage (ignoring that the Cavs still owe him $15M), make him sign these concessions so that we aren't left holding the bag" and Ty Lue understandably was furious that they were offering him a 3 year deal and walked away.
tl;dr The Lakers are dysfunctional and are quickly becoming Knicks West.
Lebron is in the "playing on bad teams" phase of his late career and his fans don't know how to cope because this was supposed to be the era where one great guy was enough to change that
It's not about LeBron. Not sure what the OP is on.
It's because Lakers ownership sucks.
At least wait till summer and the free agencies open up. And if they cant land anyone then, then protest
The Lakers organization, one of the NBA's most decorated franchises, has become a league laughingstock to rival the Knicks over the last several years.
People like to try to blame LeBron for everything because he's the best to ever play.
Americans have the worst priorities.
I think this is an adequate summary.
It doesn't matter. You can't fire an owner. You can't trade an owner. Jeannie Buss, the incompetent trust fund baby, thinks she knows what's good for the franchise and nobody can tell her otherwise. Ask DC football and NY Knick fans what good being publicly disgruntled at an incompetent owner will do. It doesn't matter. The Lakers will not be relevant again (in a good way) until Jeannie Buss dies or sells the team.
The words of someone who hates the Lakers. This organization is clownshoes at the moment.
Kurt Rambis is the worst garbage. He's also a Phil Jackson loyalist with a stick up his ass because he was poised to replace Phil as coach if Phil had returned for a third stint, it was part of Phil's proposed contract. Phil hates LeBron and vice versa, so there's also that.
Yeah thats what I figured! Its been a mess over there for awhile so sounds about right. Magic dipping out the way he did kind of said it all
It's not about excited about Ty Lue, it's about an organization not constantly shooting itself in the face.
Happy to see that people are taking it to the streets for the important issues facing our nation...
Fucks sake.
Fucks sake.
They have the same exact record as the Knicks over the last 6 years. So yeah, you are absolutely right.
Every Knick fan that complains gets banned from MSG by Dolan himself. Makes sense they wouldn't do this.
they're Lakers "fans". don't expect them to have any level of understanding basketball beyond "ball goes in hoop"
Lakers fans that I've talked to weren't excited about Lue as a coach, they're furious with what a clown show the front office has become. When your top two options are Monty Williams and Ty Lue, who I don't think anyone would argue are great options, and you very publicly end up with NEITHER, when you're the Lakers, it's a pretty big indicator of incompetence.
Ty Lue is a good head coach. He ain't Pop or anything but he's a lot better than people give him credit for. The only people that think he's trash or something are the type of people whose NBA knowledge ends when First Take goes off the air.
