I genuinely didn’t have a plan, although I could have done a much better job at wording my question. I was slightly toasted.
I guess I’m just wondering what player really connects you to this team and makes you feel like it wasn’t just a giant Madden style fantasy draft that led you this roster.
Obviously there’s turnover on every team and I’m not accusing anybody of bandwagoning here.
Pels have a very new roster, but we’re also doing a ground floor rebuild. It’s gonna take time, and we may struggle, but it’s gonna be fun to watch them grow together.
I don’t know, I guess it’s just the old school in me that appreciates continuity. The new NBA isn’t really trending that way and that’s fine. Those old Spurs teams and even these Warriors just give me the “these are OUR guys!” feels.
frick me, shite thread, blah blah. I get it.

The Lakers were also rebuilding. The end of the Kobe era had them looking at guys like Jordan Clarkson as the future.
I see it like this. The FO job is to upgrade the roster. They clearly did upgrade the roster. When you have the chance to acquire good players, you have to.
To use an old Lakers example, I was bummed when they traded Vlade Divac to Charlotte. Vlade was a likeable guy and had been a Laker for a while. But, they got Kobe Bryant in return. Those are the sort of moves a franchise has to make to upgrade.
