Glad that worked out for us. Thanks for sharing.
Seems like whoever goes into the role will need to deal with this.

Brandon Williams the new Laker GM?

Vlade should call Buss himself and sow the seeds. I doubt it though, Williams doesnt bring enough Glitz to LA with him

That is one way to look at it; the other way is that it makes them appear to be an even brighter and hotter dumpster fire than previously thought.

It's a phenomenon that has some credibility; I've willed multiple exams into becoming take-home exams.

We could be heading down the same road depending on what happens in the summer with Williams/Joerger. Food for thought
Looks like Vlade put out that particular dumpster fire.

Well it happened sooner then expected. I like that.
The reaction from others (national media etc) i dont control but i am sure a return to the sac dumpster fire franchise story's will emerge given the perceived continuous instability, particularly after what has been established externally as a positive season for us
I'm not so sure, but time will tell. The whole Williams/Joerger drama was a sign of discord. By waiting until the end of the season but then taking swift action, I think Vlade showed patience and firm resolve. It was like the parent who lets the unruly kids know there will be repercussions for their misbehavior at the appropriate time. And...there were.

True, but is that the approach that was taken ? Did Joerger and Williams know there would be repurcussions. It doesnt really matter in any case but it has been interesting to see how Vlade operates and his evolution.
As a fan base we will never know of the conversations between the parties. Vlade could have let them know his thoughts and im sure he did. As a fan base we sensed things were not right and All star break was a turning point.
Publicly Vlade pushed for everyone to focus on the season and attempted to mend bridges to get us to focus on the task at hand. Now with the season over he has acted and acted swiftly.
I wonder if the decision to let Williams go was always going to happen post season (i believe it was) and if Joerger only joined him after it became apparent his vision for the team was different to Vlade's.
One quote during Barnes intro press conference will always stick out to me.
When asked how players would be integrated and how the roster would function with new additions Vlade replied with "we have to figure it out, well Dave has to figure it out" clearly Dave's working of it wasn't adequate and Vlade has moved to regain traction in line with his vision

Seems like after the initial blow up, one person slinked to his corner and the other declared victory. Neither response was particularly dignified and so they both sealed their fates.
Can't like this enough!
Here's to another 7 looong years of futility for them! No NBA team deserves it more!

Please please please Lakers, hire Kurt Rambis or Jason Kidd. Mark Jackson would also be an acceptable option.

Just goes to show, as big a black eye as this Walton thing has been, it could be worse.

I've heard from several places that Magic only put in about an hour a day.

The Lakers are becoming the Clippers and the Clippers are becoming the Lakers. I'd say they're already past the midpoint.
