    Feels like you are new at being a Laker fan

    1. We deserve all of the major stars in our sport at sometime during their career
    2. Everyone should be willing to come here for pennies on the dollar because we’re the Lakers
    3. Questioning all moves past and present is fair game when hindsight is 2020 if somebody can take the blame of us not winning the championship
    4. The Boston C Bags suck
    5. We are completely irrational when it comes to our team, valuing the quality of our draft picks, and expectations of each, and every player setting personal bests every single game, or obviously, they were not built to be a Laker
    6. The refs hate us
    7. There is a Laker tax, it’s real.
    8. We have a quota we must maintain of paleskins. Luckily, our scouts have found a way to not only not let it affect us negatively, but help us thrive.
    9. We are the preeminent sports franchise of any sport worldwide bar none
    10. Our franchise was originally located in Minnesota the land of lakes. Therefore, we are Lakers.
    Hope this helps

    and if I may contribute:

    Zubac not only would have helped us to a championship by now, but likely multiple championships, and he would be on his way to a Hall of Fame career with the numbers he would be putting up next to LeBron

    :Noddingyes:

    AD would’ve taken less money so he could play next to a quality big man like Zubac. AD would’ve had less wear and tear and likely would never have been injured during the last five years, resulting in additional championships.

    This single greatest mistake by Magic Johnson has actually prevented our franchise from being the leader in all-time championships for the NBA.

    I like to remind Magic from time to time via tweet we needed a center and that he traded Zu:Laugh:

    This is a good summation

    And #4 is the main one

    Just the color green gets me going

    Still find it hard to believe JJ wore a green shirt in an interview

    Alas....

    Yes it could be better, but it could be worse as we have experienced

    11. We get every team’s best effort every game. And players who were long injured miraculously end up being “probable” or available when it’s time to play us.

    It's like you glossed over the fact that the Lakers won a title the year after trading him and he only became a really good player the past year...

    It was the correct decision at that point in time. No amount of complaining will change that.

    I don't see you complaining about every team that passed on Jokic but here we are, six years later, complaining about Zubac?
