Deep pockets no longer matter in the NBA because of the new CBA. It will be more about vision and the execution of that vision than dollars.
That true, Michael, but vision and execution of a vision has been one of major shortcomings of the Lakers as an organization but not anymore.
Hopefully, we can continue to keep Jeanie and Rob involved but we will now have ownership vision and front office accountability plus the capital to do things we never could consider before like paying excessive luxury taxes. Rest of the NBA won’t like this news.
This is the perfect solution for the Busses and for the Lakers as an organization. The Haters are going to be coming out in force now. LMAO. Suddenly, Lakers rocking and rolling and Celtics floundering.
I consider myself incredibly lucky to have what could be my last decade alive as hopefully my greatest as a Lakers fan. Book it.
The new CBA makes it difficult to be in a position to pay excessive luxury taxes. You give raises to your own players or draft guys that become stars. That is what happened with the Warriors. Too many restrictions now.
Where the deep pockets matter is un all the areas outside of player compensation. Coaching, front office, scouting, player development, training, facilities, etc. It always bugged me how long it took for the Lakers to finally build their own state of the art training facility. That shit won’t fly anymore.
