    The only people still involved with the team in that gif are Jeanie the owner and Ireland. It seems so long ago, yet it was less than 5 years ago.

    I will never forgive Mitch for that dumb Mosgov and Deng signing. There's 0% chance he didn't do it intentionally to sabotage the Lakers. We could have gotten a much better return for D'Lo and we are still paying for that dumb Deng contract... Unbelievable.

    Those signings were indeed unforgivable. I was just saying to a friend thank goodness the Jimbo and Mitch reign are over. That was the worst I've ever seen as a lifelong Laker fan. Just pathetic. Good on Jeannie to give them the boot.

    the fact that we've overcome them to win a championship so quickly and turn things around, well, it's Lakeresque

    Well, he's back next week. That's great news, and even in limited minutes he can help us win a few games we wouldn't otherwise be able to win. But that's not even the main thing... it's mostly about him getting in game shape now and being ready for the playoffs. There's plenty of time to get there. Thumbs up!!

    my fingers are crossed. his injuries reminded me of what they were saying about kd before he tore his achilles (kobe, too, iirc). makes you wonder if it's an inevitability at this point. i do think that the long time off is probably the best we can hope for in terms of protecting against that particular catastrophe, though, so i guess you just go for it now.

    You are understandably gun shy, but I think he is going to be fine.

    As much as I want to believe it's something different, I have basically prepared myself as though him tearing his achilles is an inevitability. I even have thought about AD in terms of "How will his game be effected by an achilles tear?" as if it's already happened. :(

    Granted, I feel like the two of us are the resident pessimists around these parts.

    yes on all counts. i've also wondered how effective he might be after (still pretty effective, btw--particularly if he'll move to full time center).

    again, though, hopeful that we did some things that change that path, and he just moves past it. he's been one of my favorite players since his college days and is fun to watch on both ends.

    Mike Truddell’s take in AD. BTW, has anyone ever listened to the Lakers Film Room podcast? Mike Truddell whether knowingly or unknowingly comes off as arrogant and dismissive to every comment Darius and Pete make.
