The Los Angeles Lakers are an utter mess right now, and the fans are making their voices heard outside of Staples Center on Friday.
A group of Lakers fans are protesting the organization. The fans can be heard saying “No more Rambis” and “No Jason Kidd.”
Kurt Rambis has reportedly been given more power within the Lakers organization and Jason Kidd has been linked to the head coaching vacancy. The fans of the Purple and Gold are clearly not pleased with either of them:

Unless you've been living under a rock recently, you know that the Lakers are a joke at the moment. General manager Rob Pelinka is leading the coaching search, one which many thought was going to come to an end this week with the hiring of LeBron James' former coach, Tyronn Lue.
However, the Lakers reportedly offered Lue a three-year deal when he was looking for a five-year deal. Lue told LA he was no longer interested in the job.
The Lakers haven't made the playoffs since 2013. They have the best player in the game in James and could waste the final years of his prime if they don't get their act together. Owner Jeanie Buss and the rest of her staff need to do something to appease the fans soon, because this is not a good look at all.
