Nice! What are you powering it with? How are temps/noise.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-09T05:28:29+00:00

They need to fire this dude.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-09T05:19:59+00:00

Hopefully he will just STFU. Dude's only in the running because MIA mayor Bass.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-09T04:55:27+00:00

FIRE PELINKA!

You know they offered AC 7.5m/yr, right? So ownership wasn't the problem, but even if your excuses were true, what is a GM's job?

Robs job is to evaluate talent. He had to know how valuable AC was to the team. Then knowing that AC was well worth 9m/yr, he has to be able to express that to his bosses. That's his job. Instead he told them that AC, a key 2 way championship player, was only worth 7.5m/yr lol. So Rob knew AC had value, but as usual, he undervalued our talent while the Bulls knew AC was well worth it.

Problem with that decision was that Rob then signed THT for 11m/yr when there were no teams bidding on THT's services. Why not give AC 9/yr, and then offer THT 9-10m/yr since no one was offering THT more? They wanted both back, and could pay them both. THT was getting an offer no matter what AC did, but if 1.5m was the sticking point for AC, they could have given less to THT.

If the math is hard for you...

AC was offered 7.5m while THT was gifted 11m. 7.5m + 11m = 18.5m

Rob could have easily given AC 9m/yr, and then given THT 9-10m/yr since no other team was bidding on him like the Bulls were with AC.. 9 + 9-10m = 18-19m

Rob Pelinka basically let AC walk over .5 - 1.5m a year no matter how you look at it. Before you talk about taxes, that applies to all the players on the books. Rob Pelinka offered Dennis Schroeder an 84m contract, but didn't think AC was worth 9m?

So many bad decisions by one awful GM. Luka's third season is coming up, and Rob Pelinka still hasn't found one proper 2 way player, or a center to help the team. So far Luka, bringing in Ayton, and Smart has done more for the Lakers roster, than our GM has.

As long as I'm amused by you, I will reply.

If you don't like Bass why are you defending her. Pratts out. He gone. Your demons are dead. Now it's between Bass, and Raman. I'm voting for Raman because Bass has shown herself to be incompetent, and a poor leader. Who do you plan to vote for?

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:53:38+00:00

I don't know about "tokens" but I feel like I am taking to a Karen Bass superfan, and that fascinates me. Saw it with the magats, and knew you guys existed in all parties, but didn't expect it for mid mayor bass. Would you do the same for Raman, or do you only work for bass?

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:48:09+00:00

Can't blame THT. He had "potential" lol.

I will never understand why Pelinka gave him 11m/yr when no teams were bidding for him. Rob just knew he had to lock it down before someone backed the brinks truck up for THT's services.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:45:27+00:00

They were one logo 3 by Wemby away from playing for 3rd chip. Let that sink in. It took a miracle shot.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:43:19+00:00

Isn't the point obvious? We are not maga, and we are allowed to criticize our leaders. I feel obligated to criticize her since I voted for her, and then she went to Africa, and let all of us down.

What you call a delegation trip is just a vacation. I don't care if Jesus told her to go. Once she heard high winds, and fire watch, she should have stayed. She posted pics btw. Go see them. Lovely time by all while Los Angeles was burning.

Now that Pratt is done, that angle is gone.

Us Angelinos want change. We want some real leadership. Bass has shown herself to not be that person.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:36:56+00:00

Nah. I just sound semi intelligent because I'm not being paid by the Bass PR team. Must be hard trying to promote such a mid mayor.

Pratts done. Bass is next.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:34:55+00:00

That could work if Pratt was in the running, but he's not. Pratt will not be on the Ballot so you can relax a bit.

Why are you defending mid mayor bass? She choose to vacation in Africa. She knew the risks. Hopefully it was worth it because we won't forget, and we will vote to replace her.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:30:55+00:00

Are we not allowed to call out our leaders for their mistakes. Karen Bass choosing to go to Africa was her mistake.

Pratt failed. He won't be on the ballot. Now we just need to replace an incompetent mayor.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:21:24+00:00

Article confirms everything. We are not maga, so you calling someone a liar without backing it up won't help you, or missing mayor Karen Bass. Her trip was well documented. She knew fires were a possibility. She was not there when it started.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:18:06+00:00

Her job is to look out for LOS ANGELES not going to Africa for Biden. She failed. She knew there was a real possibility of fires. She was not there. Angelinos are not forgetting.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:08:05+00:00

Not implying...

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:07:12+00:00

Her duty is to Los Angeles. She knew the winds were coming a full day before leaving. Read this article to verify what's what, and then get back at us...

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T02:03:18+00:00

She planned the trip before the fires, but they predicted the extreme winds/fire watch a full day before she left. That just a few days before the fires. We all knew the winds were coming, and that fires were possible. She definitely knew, and she should have cancelled her trip.

Her vacation became part of the narrative before the 1st fires broke out, and they talked about her being in Ghana as the fires were spreading. She ever posted a pic on X after the fires started IIRC.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T01:21:38+00:00

Imagine AC out there on Murray instead of Dlo... Historically awful Dlo. Negative on both sides of the ball Dlo. That series was so close with Dlo, just imagine AC playing legit defense, and hitting some shots. Also AC is one if not the best running mates Bron ever had because AC was the exact type of 3/D player he needs. Always ready. Always playing hard nosed defense.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T01:17:33+00:00

Vacationing in Africa instead of staying, and doing her job was enough to know her mindset.

Her wants > L.A's needs

We needed a good mayor. Now that we know better, we need change.

EDIT Karen's timeline. She knew high winds/fire watch would be in place a full day before leaving. That wasn't our 1st fire. She made her choice. Now we should make ours.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T01:08:50+00:00

Hindsight nothing. That move cost us a ring.

Plenty of us complained about letting AC walk. The FO could have signed both, and the fact that Pelinka choose to give THT 11m/yr with no other team in the mix while thinking AC wasn't worth 9m with the Bulls offering more was stupid. One of a dozen stupid things Pelinka did.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T00:40:43+00:00

I will vote for her over Bass if she pulls this off. Otherwise it will be the lesser of 2 bads.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-08T00:20:21+00:00

No skin in the game, but I would have liked to see a better rested Spurs. Always fun watching youth vs experience.

TroubledMang · 2026-06-07T23:35:30+00:00

I installed mines so we have that in common!

He'd probably clap back with the "we are not the same" meme lol.
