Probably taking note of an odd choice of a word from Jeanie to describe how Lakers fans are going to be having Russ on this team.
I remember reading that many months ago and had wondered a couple times if it was still a thing with them. Guess so.
the author took issue with this, but it was a relief to me. the lakers aren't about tanking and should never have been. we build through trades and free agency and trade on the brand. we're doing quite well lower in the draft anyway. i hope we never tank again, tbh. the only way we got a star out of tanking was by amassing several years' worth of solid but unspectacular high picks and moving them for a guy who forced his way here because we had signed lebron. even after lebron, i hope the team makes a good faith effort to win at all times, only tanking if say, injuries derail a season or something. i can accept it in those circumstances. but opening the year knowing that you plan to lose a lot is not lakers basketball. get it out.
Agree. Ultimately Jeanie's has been vindicated by the results on the court. Rebuilding through the draft takes a lot of time and I'd rather see us competing out there than tanking. I hope to never have to use sites like tankathon again.
