Many seasons this township group has stifled this team's chances to win it all because they didn't want to spend the money. Last year and possibly this year are two prime examples.
An ownership group so concentrated on making money and prioritizes that over winning titles, to me, means they most probably don't care a hoot about how many titles the Lakers have.
You can't use last years team as an example. Getting a new GM and coach and then moving pieces that would later benefit the team long term was all you could do. Players have to be available and FA's have to be wanting to come here.
Last years team was god awful until after the deadline, why spend money on a crappy team that wouldn't necessarily improve the first half of the season, and no way ANYONE new that this team would be 2 games away from winning it all.
They've already made a couple good moves, spending some money, and sounds like they are willing to spend more on some thing that makes sense now, or later if you use the TPE now on one or two players and move them later for a better one. Still gotta have guys available and teams okay with a TPE and some late first round picks. And those pics will be a few years out.
Bryant picked LA cause he will play more, Cousins wants to start. KD,Irving,Ayton are kinda bogging up some of the next series of moves for teams. Usually during Summer league more moves start happening, so we should sit tight for a bit.
Now if there are reports player x was available and they don't pull the trigger then we have some thing to be mad at. So far they said they would spend into the tax, and they are doing it. Two really solid moves that should help this team alot.
