Over the last two offseasons, the Lakers somehow went from a championship-caliber roster with financial flexibility and trade assets to spend to a 33-win team with, if you believe recent reports, no real avenues to improve the team. What’s even crazier is that the people who’ve overseen that disaster haven’t faced any real repercussions.
Shocking as this might be, those same folks are about to make another one, with reports surfacing and being echoed that somehow, the Lakers are prepared to bring Russell Westbrook back for another season.
Yes. The Lakers tore down a potential dynasty but are won’t make any real changes to the quite possibly (maybe inarguably) the least popular Lakers team in franchise history.
