    I saw this earlier and didn’t think much of it. Natural questions for any exec to ask when getting on board.

    Seeing that Rambis is involved is worrisome.

    Agreed. I get people wanting to be clear on who they answer to, if their career is tied to Rob, etc but yeah. Not the news I wanted to hear.

    you walk in the room and see Kurt along with Rob and knowing Jeannie is out there doing…something… and yeah. I get having some concerns.

    just...why is kurt there at all? why is he here, generally speaking? if kurt is part of rob, fire both right now, tbh. i always viewed kurt as a jeanie attache.

    i also don't like the continued tradition of allowing the franchise to be used to pump up the value of specific individuals. like, i had no idea who this minny person was until it was published that they turned down the job. incredibly convenient for that person.

    my hope was that walter and his folks would end that kind of b*******, but here we are.

    A blank check for a better job and still not getting your first choice (or one of them). Not the start i wanted to see.


    Gotta punt Rambis into the sun. This is a terrible edit but he doesn't deserve better so it's perfect.

    They seem pretty intelligent beyond the track record
    Article already points to the salary cap as road block in the NBA vs MLB. Spending money where they can get a clear competitive advantage analytics and medical staff

    If I was being very cynical I would say keeping the jeanie, rambi, and the Laker connections is simply a way to make sure players around the league similar to Lebron know that the Lakers will always be a destination for stars and they will treat them right.
