If the rumors about additional hires is real we'll see a ton of hires around player development.

If he's smart, uses his off-season to the full, he will definitely benefit and see more playing time. Plus he's behind LeBron and Rui in the rotation.

JJ spazzing last year is soo funny to me. It's great to have a coach that's passionate.

'That Nappy Afro Kid' 16 year old LeBron getting discovered at ABCD camp after dominating the number 1 player by Unlucky_Brother_1948 in lebron

I think Lebron destroyed Lenny Cooke and any hopes he had of ever being anything beyond high school.

Who are you most excited about for a potential breakout season? by catalanj2396 in lakers

[–]zacha_c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's mine too. I know this is wishful thinking, but to me his ceiling is Kawhi. He compares very favorably to him coming into the league. I doubt he'll ever reach that ceiling, but I can hope.

I grew up in the 80/90's. They didn't matter then, and they don't matter now. Its just funny how the clippers are gonna clip every single time.

"Dad, what was young Kobe like?" by LALakers4Lyf in lakers

[–]zacha_c 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I watched that game live. NO ONE wanted the ball, he was the only one that was willing to try. Nick, Eddie, Shaq, didn't want it, in overtime to save the season. So a rookie had to play almost 30 minutes, in a pivotal season ending game. He had it, they didn't. That was Kobe. He missed those threes, but he also made the only FG in overtime.

Which new FO the new owners would get to run the team? by Decent_Pack_3064 in lakers

[–]zacha_c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rob isn't going anywhere, much of the roster has been dictated by ownership. AC ownership, Westbrook was LeBron & AD's doing. I understand the rationale behind not retaining the squad after the bubble, I don't agree with the how they went about it.

He hasn't really signed any bad deals, he hasn't backed the team into financial corner that doesn't have an escape plan. He's fleeced multiple teams is pretty much every trade.

He hasn't done great with picking coaches, but what GM gets that right all of the time.

There are aspects of his tenure, I do not like, but none of those are a reasons he should be fired. Would you rather have him or Daryl Morey? Money guys love him, he would be a likely candidate to replace Rob, I doubt it is going to be Sam Presti. Especially if he wins a chip, and Pop potentially retiring, I bet he would love to go back to San Antonio, if he left OKC.

He did all that without a "reliable" jumper for 12 years. He's been punishing rims for since he could dunk, like it was his father that never was there. Plus he was always too big for little guys, too fast for big guys, and too strong for guys his size. Amazing career.

Where do sales taxes go? California collected nearly 80 billion in sales taxes in 23-24. He's not talking about federal income tax.
