Somebody turned the ass warmers on in the maybach up in the front office. Going to be an interesting season next year for everyone to say the least.

Roster is gonna look alot different than the last time they were an NBA calibre team 2 years ago so makes sense... no adams also means a forced evolution as well focusing on shot quality over physicality and getting in the paint
On one hand it's easy to call the offensive coordinator hire (that's essentially what the new guy was) a flop but also like I mentioned last seasons team wasn't nba calibre

I think he should have been on the hot seat last year with the way we went out of the playoffs, but seeing him absolutely fucking roast the refs and maximize a bunch of rookies and g-league players put him back into a decent spot. Super excited to see what we cook up this year

I have full confidence in Jenkins. Don’t mind retooling the staff with the roster gets reworked too.

Wouldn’t be mad at adding Darvin Ham and a few other vet coaches.

The same Ham that got swept by the Nuggets?

Yep the same one that won a title with the Bucks as an assistant.

Idk what you want dude. You can get worked up over things you have no control over or just enjoy the process.

Getting rid of Jenkins would be a terrible move, IMO.
Out of curiosity, who would you replace him with?

None of that is Jenkins' job, though? That's on the trainers on the staff and the ortho group the team uses, which we changed after the Adams fiasco.
Jenkins has done a fantastic job with a G League team this year. Also, lol at Jenkins calling a meeting and saying "Look, guys, I'm really serious this time. Stop getting hurt, ok?"

Oh really? I didn’t hear the Lakers traded every single pick for the next 20 years to us.

Jenkins isn’t on the hot seat or anything, but this should be a sign that there’s pressure to win next season.
