Glad everyone appears to be on the same page
Why? What has he done to deserve an extension?
Management and coaching being aligned is a great step in the right direction after Vogel last year.
So far the Ham hire looks good so let’s hope the regular season ends up good or maybe we make a good trade
Twitter responses are brutal lol.
I was under the assumption he’d be here at least through the end of AD’s contract, so whatever
That came outta nowhere lol
let’s win
Wtf is Jeanie Smoking
“It’s a guard league”
Why is this deserved 😂
Would’ve liked to see this season play out before extending him.
NO NO NO
No way in hell should he have gotten an extension after the Westbrook trade, it’s the absolute worst trade in franchise history.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Friends & family organization! Power of love and friendship will help us through the dark times!
JFC Jeanie is an idiot. At least let him GM for his job this year
Huge L
I feel like anyone with an overly positive/negative reaction to this needs a break from sports. We’re gonna ride out the Lebron/AD thing until 2025ish anyway.
Fuckk.
Why would Jeanie do this lol
Um, why?
Fuck sake.
More nepotism? shocking
Nepotism what is this organization
Ugh looks like the lakers are in for more bad roster moves
Wow, FML. Sell the team
For all the homers coming out today with their ass backward reasons for this being ok (he won us a championship…before demolishing the team btw) you’re gonna have the rudest of all fuckin awakenings when you see what happens over the next four years.
Jeanie said in TWO interviews over the summer that “hard choices would have to be made if the team didn’t improve this season.” What the fuck was she referring to then?! Whether to wear a yellow or purple tie at games?!
Many if not all GM’s dislike Rob and consider him a bottom 5 GM. This is where fleecing and bad deals become a huge problem.
Think of it this way Rob apologists/homers:
Let say you have a restaurant with a new chef. On his first year of the job he hires great ppl around him, they make excellent food, and the restaurant has its best year over he last 10. The year is 2020.
After that one great year of business, he shuffles around his whole staff and stars ordering bad ingredients. Ppl who eat at of restaurant get sick and business completely flops after word gets out that said restaurant has gone downhill since 2020.
Should the restaurant owner now say “Well, 2020 was a success so he’s earned another six years at the job”?
If we had the 2020 championship season, and I’ll give him the next season too, but then he burns the team down since we’re now supposed to just say “2020” for six years?
All jobs have employees who have had success and then went on a downhill spiral. That’s how and when ppl get fired. If this wasn’t the process everyone would just keep their jobs forever if they had a good year or two. Accountability MATTERS.
This is nepotism rearing it’s ugly head again, and a lot of you defending this know that. You’re just in denial.
