I think that can be said for a lot more teams when you think about it. And I would remove Worthy and Gasol from that list too.

People don't realize how terrible the Lakers front office is now. They don't have Dr. Buss or Jerry West anymore.

Luka's career trajectory is absolutely in the shitter now. Considering they can't offer him a supermax, I guarantee you considers leaving and actually controlling his own destiny for once. Maybe forces his way to Denver.

[1987_Lakers]

I wouldn't call Goodrich, Worthy, & Gasol "legendary"

If you add those guys you have to add AD.

For the braindead casuals, both westbrook and reaves are said to be 'legendary' too. Lmao.

Nah...I think if anything somebody big is going to jump to LA from the East and they will win a title.

Nothing is changed from when they had AD. They're plainly mediocre with no flexibility. But now their roster is a mess and they have even more holes.

They're not winning shit the next two years, and Luka's deal will be up by then. No way will Luka sign an extension first either.

Here's a fun fact: The only year Westbrook didn't make the playoffs was the year he got dragged down by LeDeadWeight.
