Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 2858624, member: 2458"] I don’t know about that. We won two straight in 2009/2010. Fell short with strong contenders the next two years, and tried retooling by bringing in Nash and Howard. Going into that year, many thought the Lakers would win it all. It flopped, Nash was suddenly completely washed, the chemistry wasn’t there, Gasol was misused, and Kobe tore his Achilles while being run into the ground trying to make the playoffs. Then Howard left. At that point, tanking while Kobe continued to put butts in seats was about all we could do. It sucked for a few years, but getting all those high drafted players helped make us attractive enough to bring in LeBron. [/QUOTE]
