Okay so aside from the Championships from over a decade ago, they're pathetic without LeBron like I said. Ty for proving my point. He salvaged that drowning franchise for a temporary period of time, but now they're drowning again lmao.

Lakers haven't been able to draft and develop for shit. Look at who they've drafted over the last several decades. While some teams swing and miss on picks, they at least hit on some. The Lakers? Can't draft and develop a franchise piece to save their life.

Aside from Kobe (who they technically traded for), who have the Lakers drafted that has been a steady impact All-Star for them over the last three decades? There are none, and the ones they did draft were garbage with them but went on to succeed elsewhere with real development (Ingram, Ball, etc). They've had to put trades together to get impact players because they can't draft them.


If it wasn't for the fact that they play in a desirable city, that franchise would be so fucked lol.



Just doing the lords work

I didn’t realize the NBA was a sport with 1 market, the draft, like your acting.

Yes FA matters, yes Trades matter, and damn right we’ve historically sold off draft picks and young talent to compete. I’m not quite sure how your tiny brain equivocates that as losing when your team hasn’t won shit in 30 years. Gathering talent doesn’t ONLY come from the draft and rarely do teams draft championship winning rosters.

The Sixers drafted players after tanking.
The Lakers drafted players and traded them all for talent after a major injury and end of career to someone whom brought them 5 titles.

Keep writing paragraphs all the while knowing your team made it further PRE PROCESS that they have since, even with all that talent.

Playoff wins matter, maybe you’d know if the Sixers had any.

I’m just so god damn proud of you

😮

RIP in Peace DM 🕯🕯🕯

Hes got a point here. Who has the Lakers drafted that has had any significant value in the past 2 decades?

Kobe Shaq lebron Ron attest gasol AD all fas or trades?

There is no point the Draft is not the only way to build a team and the lakers have been in win now mode many years and traded away draft assets or young players.

The warriors and Spurs be the only teams in the last 25 years to win off home grown talent pre KD.

Being a shitty team, not winning, then spouting about your draft picks when you’ve been stock piling picks isn’t something I’d brag about.

Not true? Pistons? Mavs? First d wade w? Bucks?

Pistons-
Wait till you hear about who drafted or started the career of Billups, Wallace, and Hamilton LOL.

Mavs- Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, and Jason Terry as well as others were stars and all stats for other teams, not drafted by Mavs.

First D Wade - SHAQ…. They won the year he joined the damn team lol. Walker was drafted by Celtics. J Will drafted by Kings. Shall I go on?

Bucks - Middleton was drafted by Pistons. J Rue Holliday whom was drafted by the Sixers they wouldn’t have won anything.

I actually think you helped prove my point, thanks!

doesnt dm still think embad is better than shaq? ROFL

Okay so you have no argument again my point that the Lakers can't draft and develop players for shit, and a free agent signings like LeBron is their only saving grace because the city itself is desirable due to the money that can be made out there (aka Mr. Hollywood). Lakers are drowning once again. Old, washed up bunch of scrubs that struggle to stay at .500 at best. Once LeBron is gone they're going to be so fucked once again back to being a lottery team as usual.

And rarely do teams draft championship winning rosters? lmfao what????? Bucks last year, Warriors in 2018 & 2017, Cavs in 2016, Warriors in 2015, Spurs in 2014, Mavs in 2011, the Spurs dynasty in the early 2000's, etc. Literally building through the draft is the ideal way to build a contender, then you use free agency to build off of that.




Funny statement.

Over the past 4 seasons, the Sixers have 19 playoff wins. That's more playoff wins than the Lakers have over the past 9 years (18).

Next time just stick to bragging about your *bubble championship and don't bring up playoff wins
