"I think they're a couple years away from where I want to be."


a couple? Try a half decade, at. least.

Why is this funny? Everyone knows Durant wants to win now and the Lakers are a young team. So he went to the best team in the league. Nothing wrong about him rejecting the Lakers.

That wouldn't be the worst thing, Ingram would just be 23 turning 24. Russell would be 25, Randle 26, Zubac 24, Clarkson the vet would be 29...not a bad estimate, although I could see it happening sooner with free agent acquisitions if we impress this year and the next, and also trades.

I know its the thing to do to hate on the lakers cause of their continuous success

but they really are shaping up solid
they got a solid core and LA is LA, I dont care who is running the lakers... this will always be the LA Lakers in Hollywood

it is nice to see other teams win now, but I like the NBA better when the Lakers are good.... its fun

Honestly any true Lakers fan understands that 4-6 years is not unreasonable. Gives the young players time to develop, they would be still very young at that point. Could be a nice team if a a few of them turn out.

This, Kobe has wrecked that franchise, will take years to recover to the point LA attracts superstars again
