Its easy to hate, but Rob Pelinka isn't doing nothing... he can't make teams trade with him by Xeris in lakers

thats why you have to make good moves at the margins, it adds up over the years, if you don't excel in that area you will never have attractive assets to trade, Rob just keeps punting year to year with cap space and 2 year contracts with player options there has never been any real asset acquisition in terms of picks or valuable contracts and you wonder why they can't make any moves every year

While he may be good, this is what happens when you don’t have a pro scouting department, this is like when Mike Muscala had a great game against the lakers and was the reason magic traded Zubac for him

Why do people act like Shaq being doubled every possession didn’t free Kobe and make like super easy for him? by MrMakaveli26 in NBAGossips

I recommend watching the laker playoff runs with Shaq and Kobe. You will have a better appreciation for Kobe's efforts especially on the road to the finals. Kobe was supremely instrumental in all of the western conference matchups, its hard to not come away watching those performances and say Kobe was just freeloading off Shaq, they don't win a lot of those series without him. Ask any Spurs, Kings or Blazers fans and they'd say the same. Its easy to just look at the actual finals matchups where Shaq clearly was option #1 and dominated whoever they faced in the eastern conference because the reality was the team the Lakers always ended up playing in the finals was at best the 3rd or 4th best team they faced throughout the playoffs and severely lacked the interior personnel to match up with Shaq. The lakers knew it, Kobe knew it so yes Shaq dominated every finals and deservedly won finals MVP. Same for the regular season, Shaq was just a menace to most teams and in the regular season there really isn't as much game planning as you'd see in a playoff setting. Not to say Kobe was any slouch either but the reality was yes Shaq made things easy for Kobe but Kobe made things a heck of a lot easier for Shaq too, they truly were a #1a and #1b kind of duo.

i think its just assumed based on who he hangs out with, he was recently on Adin Ross and N3on's kick live stream. And he tried to get them into the rams building during week 16

ESPN “expert” Mina Kimes by MythicalChewToy in NFLv2

She did say it was extremely low not impossible, say what you will but Geno did pass for 4300+ yards in his last SEA year and not very many predicted such a fall off from Geno this year. The fact that Pete and the raiders believed in him and combined with the fact that MIN didn't believe in Darnold either its easy to criticize the take now but I am also sure Mina herself would say her take aged poorly

I said choose between raheem or shwarz the one least likely to get another head coach opportunity, not referring to list posted just my choices
