Scoff all you want, if I told you in 2014 Kobe's agent would be making all our decisions the next decade you'da told me I was crazy as ****.
And now you're hoping he throws a few more draft picks on the fire......
*Shrugs*
How is that deflecting? You think it's unreal we could give up the #1 pick eight years from now? (Or six, 2030 pick too)
The Jazz didn't think it would cost them MAGIC JOHNSON 3 years later either, but it did.
That's not deflecting. That's mortgaging your future for a prayer of a chance in...
The fact that it's insane to you is insane to me, based on the history of the LA Lakers completely being changed when they added the #1 pick in the 1979 draft.........in 1976. Some guy named Magic Johnson.
Then in 1979 they made another trade for a 1982 1st round pick. Some guy named James...
Did I have a bad feeling during the Phil/Kobe era? Nope.
Did I have a bad feeling when it was time to tank? Helllllllll no, I led the charge. :lol
Did I have a bad feeling we weren't going to land a star player or two to go with the young picks we'd acquired? Nope.
Did I have a bad...
No, I don't.
Only recently. Before that I always knew (and expected) things would work out in our favor.
It's easily seen. I've posted it in here multiple times.
I try. :lol
There's 272 a year + 13 playoff games, right? I get to about 120-125 or so. Not quite half, but not for lack of trying. :lol
The quad screen Youtube TV came with last year was fantastic.
I won't "hate" Mitchell, he's at least good. Depending on cost of course.
But I'm not on board with trading more picks when Bron will be like 48 and getting another pay raise from us that everyone defends. "Ya gotta do it, it's Bron".
Jeanie loves you guys. :lol:
I wanted DeRozan like 6 years ago. Makes perfect sense we might get him around 2027 or so. Get his miles up first. :{
Mitchell would be the best possible piece to add, but Trae/Bronny/JJ should make for a lotta mental gymnastics in here. I'm pumped.
