The staff knew of the talent. They were just hell bent on bringing in big names

They were all wrong
It's truly astonishing just how categorically atrocious James Buss was at his job.... This is the down side of nepotism.... Those two contracts may go down as the two worst contracts of all time in the NBA as it forced the organization to Prematurely give up on a #2 pick and even with getting LeBron they now will be limited in cap space if they were to get AD because of Dengs stretch still counting for 6million over the next 3 Seasons 
You HAVE to have competent upper management.... Everything else is really secondary

Bron is great but I've always been a fan of patience. Would of liked to see the Zo/Russ/Ingram line up play out. As others have said tho Magic & Pelinka stuck in the you can only build with big names. When GS has proven drafting & letting your players grow works.
That is unless you got lazy mf like Wiggins
But if your youngins show they can put the work with the talent let them grow. It's a diff league than 15 yrs ago.
No..Money..Mo..Problems
it is what it is
One of the dumbest trades in recent history. It's not like D'Angelo was on some Lonzo level of bust he was playing well but Lakers really thought they were getting big time free agents that summer.

The Lakers did not like D'Angelo. I think he would have been gone even if they weren't trying to clear cap space. You know it's bad when the Lakers allow their local media to talk shyt about a player.

If your up in the stands, the second someone walks up and down the stairs, the entire sight line of the court is gone. shyt sucksPeople always say they love barclays or hate it ..never any in between. I like it..aint a bad view in the house

It mainly came down to the Nick Young situation.
Byron didn't like him & let Magic know it. For some reason they didn't think him & ZO could play together
I agree. I always looked at it like Beasley/MIA situation. I thought DLO would flourish in BK when the deal was made. All he needed was his actual game to catch up with his ego.

Whats crazy is I think that Brooklyn is considering offering him the bag and he might take it to stay. Dude is getting better and better each game.
