Great organizations have systematic accountability, consistency and don’t scapegoat individuals, especially those whose responsibility is limited.
The Lakers have had 7 coaches in the last 15 years. None have survived more than two seasons.
@CoachKarl22
The Lakers will be more successful going fwd when they acknowledge the only championship they won since Phil left doesn’t count and they’ve been unstable for 15 years.
Karl literally sits on twitter talking about the Lakers all day every day. He's obsessed.
It definitely seems like it's something personal. Maybe thinks Lakers did something unfair to his son. Or all the losing to the Lakers during his coaching career took a mental toll on him.

He’s not wrong on some level. Obviously the 2020 ring counts but the Lakers fell ass backwards into it. They wanted Kwaii. If they would have to Kwaii, he would have got injured like he always does and we would have no ring. In that sense it doesn’t count. It was dumb luck. Lebron joining and bringing AD was dumb luck. It took no vision to ask the GOAT if he would like to join your team.
I get a sense that there are too many powerful people in the Lakers highest positions. Ones that we don’t really hear about. The Buss family owns 60 or so percent of the Lakers. We never hear about the other shareholders. Do we really thing that the big wigs at AEG don’t throw their weight around and just cheerlead from the sidelines?

Remember when we drafted this benchwarmer despite him not deserving to be in the league, then he went and joined the Nuggets and told them our gameplans and strategies? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

AEG doesn’t own any part of the Lakers. But words like “systematic accountability” and “consistency” aren’t used to describe Laker management. The bubble title counts but it will be remembered as the most bastardized season in NBA history. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

Your right. I forgot that Mark Walter and Todd Boehly bought it from the AEG founder in 2021.
We only won a title because of Bron. Jeanie and the Rambis idiots are nowhere near Jerry Buss’ genius.
The AD trade led to the title. Bron was unsuccessful prior to that.
But I digress - GK is absolutely right about accountability and scapegoating individuals. This organization has no idea what it's doing. _________________ Yi Jianlian Fanboy. Respect The Chair.

haha George is an absolute top tier level clown and is pretty much one of the last people to be able say all that imo.. His beef with Melo was pretty pathetic to watch and I still remember a trainer coming out during it and saying how hard Melo worked with him and sure enough Karl was all up in the comments immediately trash talking him and Melo with some super weirdo comments right with the trolls where he belonged.. Then he soon went on to say Melo was flat out overrated and he only wished his game was as efficient as Detlef's. Just a flat out bitter old man Clown.
Him being fired by the Kings afterwards was also a complete Circus and he got in another public beef with Kenyon Martin which carried over from the Nuggets. The guy loved to cause drama, there's a reason so many people called him a drama queen and multiple locker rooms absolutely couldn't stand him especially later in his Career.. Those Nuggets teams he had were EXTREMELY talented and always underperformed in the Playoffs while usually losing there heads and it all started with the Head Coach imo.. He was one of those Coaches that I hoped would always stay there because I was fully confident he'd never get there full potential and we'd just toy with them a bit until they folded.
I never understood all the love he got honestly.. There were def. worse Coaches then him but he was never great at all imo.. Just a bit above average. I think that's one of the Lakers biggest issues is that there are simply just not very many great candidates to choose from anytime we need a new HC.. Plenty of blame should be thrown at the FO and Ownership as well of course but we also have to be somewhat realistic.
I have no doubt there's probably a ton more of clownish behavior by him as well. I mostly all the above from a friend who was a Nuggets fan and stopped liking him pretty early on as the Head Coach.

Funny coming from a coach that's been called a snake by every star player that's ever had him and even those that haven't had him, and lost every single locker room he's had. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

I get that we are allowed to kill our own, and that he is a bit slimy, but he didnt say anything that hasnt been said about our front office here and in regard to championship, 99.99999....% of the people would trade the bubble chip for a traditional one. _________________ Kobe.
