Warhead36 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Can't worry about the name right now anyway. Its set in stone for 2023. Focus on what you can fix now and they can worry about the name and rebranding and all that next off season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Kindof blew off the new stadium question as well. Just talking about the "here and now." Clearly they want a new stadium. But they want to create a better environment NOW, and that's the focus. I like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not processing this in my brain. Ironically, Magic Johnson was drafted by the Lakers less than a month after Jack Kent Cooke sold the team.

spjunkies Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) The guy just paid 6.05 billion for the team, he knows the name is an issue but he's simply not going to crap on his brand right now lol.

I think Wright and Rivera have run a pretty clean ship for the last few years, and he even acknowledged that in an answer saying something like "we are led to believe a lot of that has already happened." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 So, lost in all of the "interesting" stuff about the name, the stadium, his experiences, community outreach, fan experience, etc. etc. etc. might be his #1 point: Just win baby. Ron must have been sitting up there going, "damn, my 14 year plan might need to happen faster." I think he and the other owners said the words "win", "winning" or "championship" at least 30 times. The message could not have been clearer, and probably didn't even need to be said, but it was: Ron and this group have to win early and often or they will "fight bravely and die quickly" to borrow a phrase from "The Mask of Zorro." 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
