Lue apparently wanted a 5 year deal, was offered 3 years/18 mil. Considering how many good years LeBron has left, that seems right. Not so sure Lue will be asked to coach another potential superteam any time soon.

Surprised he passed on that money. Guess we'll see if there are better offers for Lue's services out there.

Lakers also wanted him to take JKidd as an assistant... someone who was interviewing for the same job. Strange ask.

OK, that's weird. Seeing the difference Budenholzer has made in Milwaukee, surprised they're making Kidd a sticking point. Its like they're asking Lue to bring in his replacement from day one. Like the Lakers were interested in marginalizing Lue before he even coached a game. Dont know how much it played in Lue's decision, wouldn't surprise me if being assigned a staff was the deal breaker.

Lakers FO is a** backwards...Looks like the circus moved Madison Square Garden to Staples. Reminds of phil sticking Rambis on Fish and Hornacek's bench.

Lakers News: Fans Planning Protest to Express Displeasure with LA's Front Office
Bleacher Report | May 9 1 0
Los Angeles Lakers fans are planning to hold a protest outside Staples Center to voice their frustration with the team's front office.

According to Redditor C-P-R (warning: post contains profanity), the protest will be held in front of the arena at noon Friday.

There are a number of chants planned for the event:

"Sell the team!"

"Fire Rambis!" (a reference to adviser Kurt Rambis)

"Fire Linda!" (executive director of special projects Linda Rambis)

"Kevin McHale"

"No Jason Kidd!"

"Shadow owner!"

This protest comes after the Lakers extended their franchise-record playoff drought to six years with a 37-45 performance in 2018-19.

Despite signing four-time NBA MVP and three-time champion LeBron James last offseason, Los Angeles has seen no shortage of drama.

The organization was involved in a messy and very public trade-deadline disaster involving New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis. Then the team fell out of contention by going 10-18 following the deadline.

Well at least it's not the knicks this time

Seeing the bush league way Lue was treated by Lakers mgmt/ownership, I doubt that sat well with James. From a distance, seems almost like a shot across the bow to LeBron, that it wont be like Cleveland. Where LeBron had more input. My guess.

The draft might help determine (among other factors) wether or not LeBron is a Laker next season. They land Zion, mgmt might want to stick with the youth, and think more long term. They would have their box office attraction for the next 10-15 years, if they're lucky.

Sheesh, the rap on Kidd is he's a snake, so good luck with that, Vogel- it's only a matter of time until he manoeuvres on Vogel and ends up as the head coach.

It's so obvious from the outside looking in...Phil left us for dead and now he has moved on to finish the job in L A....Vogel has to see this! I guess he's just happy to have a job. It's not like his name was popping up as a candidate for other jobs....What a mess

Figured after the dumpster fire Phil and Rambis left in NY, they would ride off into the sunset. No shame, if they really have that much influence. Really does look like the Knicks (West) Glad Perry was brought in to change the culture.

Will be real PO'd if the Lakers get Zion, under the circumstances. Bulls as well.

Do you do it?
