It's been ingrained in the culture since the Buss family took over ownership. The most recent example, was that extension we gave to Kobe...
I agree, but this policy is like pretty much set in stone in the Laker culture lol.
The problem though is that the Lakers don't trade stars unless they explicitly ask out. Or we let them walk for nothing, e.g., Pau. Ideally we...
I think we are pretty much stuck in purgatory (and can't fully rebuild) until 2026, when we completely own our picks moving forward and there are...

I'm not making any trades that involves giving up future assets just to be a playoff team. The Lakers made their bed and now have to lay in it...
The fact that we extended this guy is really the cherry on top of this miserable season. This is peak failing up.
0-10 here we come...
As we lose more and more games this will be commonplace.
Please win tomorrow. It'll be good for the "bench/send home WB" movement.
