Don't panic Lakers fans, your team has been through this before

Are the pitchforks back in the shed yet?

Is Mitch Kupchak allowed back in public?

Does Jim Buss still have his job?

Are the Lakers still in the NBA, or have they been relegated to the second-division D-League?

Sheesh, calm down people.

Seriously, you would have thought Lakers Nation has never been through a rebuilding phase the way everyone freaked out over the first 48 hours of free agency.

And even after Kupchak and Buss rebounded with a strong Plan B that undoubtedly leaves them a better team now than the one that finished last season, the number of heads exploding around town is astonishing even for an overreacting public with short- and long-term memory issues.
