I get that. But the Lakers have put their mark on that entire complex. Besides the four huge Lakers statues in the main plaza, the main entrance is on a street officially named Chick Hern Court.

Donald Sterling has been heavily courted by the city of Anaheim to move the Clippers to the Honda Center. And each time he declined. If the Clippers truly want to get out of the Lakers shadow they should take them up on that offer. There they can create an arena experience that is all their own.

Or they could just simply do what they are doing now - which probably has the most economic benefit for team

For years the Jets played in "Giants Stadium" - doesn't mean they didn't put up their own signage and paint their own endzones

It's an easy solution for the Lakers...just tell them to 'disrespect' the Clips back on nights the Lakers are home and cover up those 'annoying' Clipper banners with Laker history.

That simple.

These banners are only hung during clippers games.
No disrespect at all. Nothing for the lakers to cover

Give in 2-3 years and 1/2 the Laker fans will be Clipper, Heat, Brooklyn etc. fans.

Then, the real laker fans can finally get some peace until they return to competitiveness.

Did the Lakers fund the Staples Center themselves? Did they produce the majority of the corporate support for its funding? No? Then they can ****.

As a Laker fan, I don't see a big deal with it. I do wish each team had their own arena, but it is what it is.

Right. I didn't say it right, but I should have been more clear that if the rules were reversed, the Lakers could do the same thing...

Another Lakers fan here. I don't see a problem with it.

My question is if it's an LAL @ LAC game, will the banners be covered up?
