An update on Vando is probably the only thing potentially notable thing we might learn.

It's honestly going to disgust me a bit watching them hype up a a core that was thoroughly beaten these last 2 years by the same team.

They can tar and feather Rob all they want. He has made that easy. But what he is doing is protecting the team's business interests and doing what keeps him in good favor with his boss.

Real question about improving should be about Jeanie. For various reasons, people won't do that though, and if the do Rob will quickly jump on that grenade.

Willing to trade their FRPs if it leads to sustainable Lakers excellence.

Why hasn't the Lakers 3rd best player been mentioned once all offseason by JJ or Pelinka? In regards to DLO..

"We will manage"-JJ on not having a traditional center on roster.

Remember that when we are getting killed on the glass and/or AD goes out and it's lay up line.

Somebody finally mentioned DLO! Wow.

JJ-"He is probably guy I talked to the most" "Let's put you in a position to have a career year. His talk, mindset, energy are all in a great place"

If that's true why I haven't I heard him mention DLO once in all his interviews?

I missed the Vando update, something about a bone spur. Any update on timetable?

I'm just reading quotes from the press conference.

One thing that caught my attention was the he apparently said that it'll take 30 games to "evaluate what the team has this season?"

Yikes. I don''t expect moves to happen until closer to the deadline, but there's absolutely NOTHING that needs to be evaluated with this team.

If a move comes up before that time period, jump on it. This team should only be kept together as is because it's the only reasonable option right now.

Nothing needs to be evaluated.

Would have been nice to get a question about Dan Hurley.

So Vando did have procedures done and will be back sooner rather than later. Hope everyone from now on waits for the info to come in before you start slandering players.

One rumor gets posted about possibly not being ready to start the season and some in here were calling for Vandos head.

“He’s lazy!” “He’s pulling a Shaq!” “He doesn’t care about basketball!!” Smh
