I initially liked Rambis and hopefully he was just doing what he was told to do and tanked the last two years. I loved the Showtime Lakers—hopefully he will move towards that if he’s still around. The lack of communication, however, does not make this a likely outcome.

it will be because of Moor and Taylor. I think Kahn wants to fire him but is being hamstrung by ownership. Maybe it’s financial, maybe they don’t fully trust Kahn, I don’t know. What I do know is that a) they suck at providing leadership in an NBA capacity as ownership; and b) all of the players Kahn has either signed, traded for, or drafted would fit very well in a running transition offense featuring lots of pnr’s and backdoor cuts to the basket. And this is precisely what Rambis has consistently and dare I say intentionally ignored. There is a huge disconnect going on at Target Center between Kahn, ownership, and Rambis. Maybe it’s not right how Kahn is handling Rambis’ situation, but then again maybe we only got Kahn because no one else (Dennis Lindsay et al) was willing to work for a clearly bottom 5 NBA ownership group.

I’m sorry – I’ve got myself riled up about this, but it’s true! We complain so much about Kahn, McHale, the Joe Smith fiasco. Outside of Flip and KG Glen Taylor’s ownership has produced 20-25 win teams and a carousel of head coaches, underwhelming draft picks, and far too frequently (until Kahn) shitty free agent signings for too much money. Whatever success this team has will be inspite of a deck stacked against them from the very top. Until this ownership group acts decisively with purpose, and with real leadership and personal accountability I am afraid that 30 win seasons will be our playoffs for the near and intermediate future.

they better hope that they don’t have any daughter’s getting married anytime soon. Just think of all the printing options that they will be priced out of due to retribution. ;)
