On Frank

Aloha,

Last nights game was more fun than just about anything else that happened in this disaster of a season. Austin hit triple double numbers that only 3 other rookies in league history have achieved and Malik didn’t help our chances of keeping him with 41. I thought it was in poor taste how the beat writers focused more on Franks firing than their career nights. At least the kids gave him a smile on the way out.

Frank really got jobbed. The Lakers decided to change the style of play on him and gave him a roster that did not play to his strengths. They should have never given him extension in the first place if they were going to change directions on him. At least he will get an additional few mil for his trouble. Give this guy defenders and an average offense and he can win. Give him a collection of has beens and he will fail. Who could have really done much better?

Frankly this organization is a mess and one wonders if an experienced NBA coach will want to step into this cow pie. Ty Lue probably gives a little prayer of thanks every night that he didn’t end up on the Lakers.

Building a big 3 is nearly impossible or more teams would do it. The Warriors built theirs through the draft and cashed in big when the salary cap exploded and they landed KD. You can have 3 great players but if you don’t have any depth left it doesn’t matter. Just look at the Nuggets, they were hit just as hard the Lakers with injuries, yet they had enough left to land the 6th seed. And the Griz went 20 and 2 WITHOUT Ja. The truth is even if Russ had been everything they hoped for this team didn’t have enough depth to win a championship. Frank was a casualty of this folly.

Now the entire organization is in shambles and even if the most optimistic of trade proposals happen, we won’t be a true contender next year, it could actually could be years. Frank is gone, yet Rob, Kurt and Jeanie and all those responsible for this mess will still be there.
