Good look Luke, you will need it with that roster that they currently have. The good thing is he won't have to deal with Kobe's farewell tour like B. Scott did.

There is no doubt in my mind they'll end up with Ben Simmons.

Then they'll end up with either Russ, KD and/or Love.

In two years I'm sure the Lakers will be back as a top three seed in the west, if not higher.

Just have to make sure the right Buss is in charge.

How cool would it be if he hired his old man as an assistant.

How do you fire your coach for losing when all your organizational moves were designed towards losing? Byron got a raw deal.

Lost the locker room. Had no ability to connect.

That tends to happen when you lose 60+ games, though. Which they were going to do no matter what.

I feel like he managed the Kobe circus well enough, all things considered. And regardless of their feelings(Russell has proven to be an immature idiot whose opinions shouldn't matter yet), the young guys like Russell, Randle, Clarkson, and Nance developed quite well.
