How does a team with four franchise players lose so much?

This is the most baffling thing about how the Lakers are playing this season. Theoretically, you should be able to add Kobe, Dwight, Steve or Pau to any other team in the NBA and see a dramatic increase in their winning record. Who the hell do you blame for this?

when all four of those star players are playing like shit and you dont have a good bench or coaching system

**Kiddlovesnets** · 01-20-2013, 07:57 PM

Age, bench, mobility, Chemistry.

There is a chucker trying to be like lebron and thinks he can create shots for his team mates but fails hard. The art of passing rejects him.

They also have junk food for a coach.

Four?

Not sure where you come up with that number.

Nash, Kobe, Gasol, Dwight all have been/can be franchise players, but not in their current states

Unlike the majority of ISH, I think Pau is a great player and can lead a team.

Right.

The "Franchise" tag is something you earn and something you can lose. No team in their right mind would start a franchise building around (what I consider a franchise player) Nash or Gasol right now. Ergo, they aren't "franchise players" anymore.

Is Jason Kidd still one?

Nash is a couple years past being a franchise player, mainly because he's not a penetrator anymore.

I think he is good enough to lead a team too, although right now hes pretty much a scapegoat on the Lakers team.

A big reason why I'm constantly at odds with most Laker fans here.
