Sorry you're technically right. Ryan West does do a lot of that work too and does report to Pelinka.
Oh sorry, sure thing. Paul is my colleague, an SVP at AEG. He is in charge of the New Balance partnership with AEG. That's not his actual name. I...
Sure what was unclear?
I was not expecting to hear something as concrete as this so early. But it's just Ryan's opinion.
Paul is a SVP at AEG - name changed to not give anything away.
Was just texted this: "Just heard from Paul. Ryan had a Zoom with Dennis and Mitch this afternoon. Thinks there's a > 50% chance he signs a 4...
What I was told is that all Lue needs is a 4 year deal at 6 million a year or $25/5. It has less to do with money and more to do with respect...
Funnily enough, Magic was very high on Jason Kidd. He had a preference for tough gritty point guards. He never liked Lue. Saw him too much as a...
Apparently Jeanie and Pelinka prefer Vogel, they see him as the next best option. They also really like Kidd, because of Kurt. Kurt was pushing...
Regarding the Mo Wagner pick, Magic thought he would be a more marketable version of Brook Lopez. I can confirm he did overrule the scouting...

Not much, they're a minority owner in comparison to the Buss family trust, which is a complicated affair. They could make a big fuss, but it...
Oh I apologize. I don't mean to steal the name of any long time users! If someone can assist me in changing my name I'm happy to do so. I chose...
Just to preface this, this is all is my personal opinion, and it's a really tough discussion! A lot of you have brought up some very thoughtful...
Definitely agree with you there. It would also completely squash Kurt's rising influence in the org, which has its own benefits. He's out for...
Completely understand. Don't want to show my age but I've been a fan for a very long time. This is the most unsettling time as a Lakers fan that...
To be honest, I don't know. The call may have happened after. I heard about it well after the fact. It also may be Lacob's way of telling the...
Thank you! I'm glad what I'm saying is along the same lines with what you've been hearing! Hope it eases everyone a touch. Also makes me feel...
