Yes but Johnson was a placeholder of no influence whatsoever then. Who knows if it could be different this time around now that he will be on the...
...Johnson won't be a prop in place or a title holder of no substance but he'll have a healthy input in personnel decisions. I'd be surprised if...
Russell shoots flatfooted most of the time though he does have a nice arc on his shot. Agree with the turnovers where he gets careless out there....
Jeanie's Revenge...for not being consulted or told on the coaching hire that ended up with D'Antoni?
Huertas has the good hair...but it should be Calderon.
That's what his old man did. Dr. Buss had West and Riley who were really good talent evaluators. I'm not sure if Johnson has the same ability but...
...or Ingram needs to tweak his shooting mechanics a bit. Nothing drastic of course. There were seasons when the Lakers employed shooting coaches...
@therealdeal @RandleROFY - We have had a cluster of games this season where the young core built large leads then lost it as the game wore on....
Clippers missing Paul...Warriors without Green, Pachulia. Golden State still wins handily.
Agree with you and Weez... The article was on point on basic generalities. We are terrible as a whole defensively. Randle is clueless and Williams...
^Damn... Same number of points as a dead man, one more rebound and assist than a dead man. If he had two less turnovers, he had a triple single game.
Of course it does since those two were brought on for those roles. Again, Walton's comments were about a go-to vet to make plays (a score or a...
Why do they have to ask Deng what to do? Isn't that what the coaching staff is there for? Why can't they figure it out themselves? How do you know...
...key is the degree of acceptance these "millennial" youngsters will heed Johnson's advice and how much leeway he has without over-stepping on...
Nah...I don't think Johnson will be involved in the final personnel decisions. He'd assess the strengths and weaknesses of each player we acquire...
Of course, but you can't expect your mentor to make plays for you right? I'm sure they know he is not the go to guy now and never was in his...
Yes, his production has been underwhelming. There is no superstar or go-to player that Deng can hide behind to chip in. He had Butler in Chicago...
That is just rampant foolish speculation. Why would Kupchak be fired? Idiotic since we hired an "advisor"? Like a CEO being laid off because a...
Johnson is tagged as an "advisor"... His opinions will not be the be all end all to everything Laker related decision making personnel and...
:) No...just no.
