Lauren Lamkin (VP of Marketing & Communications) took a hatchet to the team's marketing department at the beginning of the year, with little clue about what fans actually connect with. Been sad to watch

She's the same person responsible for how Vando's injury issues have been communicated to fans.

LAL wants to embrace it, their leaders just don't understand it well & want to exert control.

They were the last team in the NBA to join TikTok because Tim Harris didn't see or understand its value. He's 63.

He was hella intrigued by NFTs though lol. Thank god someone talked him out of that

I was with the Lakers for 2.5 years before Tim Harris (who runs the Lakers business ops) addressed the marketing department for the first time, between Games 1 & 2 of the 1st Round series vs Memphis in 2023

I call it his "You Must Suffer" speech because he told us that at least half a dozen times 🧵

Agreed. Some people will still probably do this on here tho. Annoying but it is what it is

"He'll be a Soprano when he gets up." Stu Lantz after Anthony got hit right in the Davises by John Collins. Billy Mac calls it quite the "pre-dic-a-ment"

"he started off as a tenor and will now be a soprano" - Stu Lantz after John Collins hits AD in the groin 😭

Curt Miller cracking up right now. He gets to select Paige Bueckers after all, as GM of the Dallas Wings! #WNBA

Via the LA Sparks who are not on this app. Rickea Jackson will represent the Sparks in tomorrow's WNBA Draft Lottery.

I totally get from a vet, intangibles, trade asset management perspective you stick it out with Gabe.

But I do wonder if JJ kicks the tires somewhere else soon. If it’s not Max (probably should be at some point) then maybe Quincy Olivari gets a shot. He’s shown POA chops and more offensive upside.

Lakers say Jaxson Hayes suffered a sprained left ankle during Tuesday's practice.

Hayes will be re-evaluated in about 1-2 weeks, per the team.

My first BlueSky post: must remember that all the pinned stuff is in my feed 😂

Hopefully one that isn't posting weird stuff like a lot of them do
