The Lakers are WASTING Everybody's Time...

The Los Angeles Lakers went from a Western Conference Finals team in 2023 to a first round exit in 2023 with both losses coming at the hands of the Denver Nuggets. Despite having LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the team is clearly not at the level of other championship contenders like the Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, or Boston Celtics. So, you would expect them to make some trades or a key signing in free agency in order to improve this team. Instead, they've been one of the least active teams in the entire NBA this offseason and seem poised to again take a step back while their main competition is improving. Drafting Dalton Knecht and Bronny James while bringing in JJ Redick as your head coach isn't going to turn this team from a back to back play in team to a title contender. This is just another example of the Lakers wasting the time of their two hall of fame talents and all of their fans. So, let's talk about it.

Made this before the Christian Koloko signing which is cool

Still doesn’t change my opinion though

Nah I’m not hating on LeBron by any means, but I mean let’s call it what it is with him. You have a max contract guy who dominates the ball that can no longer carry your team. LeBron ball worked wonderfully for almost 2 decades and he pieced together one of if not the best careers of all time. At this point though, his stats are there but anybody watching the game sees LeBron is not his usual dominate self and the brand of basketball he has played his entire career only works if he is far and wide the best player on the court. Hes declined on defense, his turnovers have gone up, some of his shot selection is sus at times. Often times to me if seems like he stat pads in garbage time. Again a lot of it is still there and he’s still a top player in the league, but he makes everybody play a catch and shoot role while he blames them for short comings. I think he should hang it up before it gets even more sad

The Lakers are about to get hit with that Jerry West curse

So I think the Lakers screwed themselves last season by giving all the players they signed Player Options. Because of that all those players picked up their options and they had no roster spots available. And then all the players they wanted to sign and trade for chose other teams. Probably those players got more money elsewhere.

My Lakers Will Be Lucky To Make A Top 10 Seed, Forget The Play In. But The Drama Will Be Great.
