I want the Lakers to be good again (and the Knicks & Sixers) but I do not like the Lakers youth so I am not rooting for those specific players to be successful. 

Ingram is the only one I am interested in watching but he is too far away (too undeveloped) to be worth watching yet. I don't find Russell or Clarkson interesting at all. Randle has his moments but that is only about 20% of the time. He needs to show a lot more improvement before I become invested in him. Still not convinced he can adapt his game enough to be a big time player in the NBA.

I won't root for them to become a good team.  They'll eventually become a good team again regardless, so I'll just wait and enjoy their misery for now.

As awesome as it is to beat them in the finals constantly, it's not much worse to see the Celtics win the finals while the Lakers are a bottom-feeder.

I'm not picky enough to give two craps about the Lakers as long as the Celtics rule basketball.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale
