So we will suck again next season as in we wont be a Playoff team. Our young guys better get it together next season because that is year 3 for Russell and Randle, year 4 for Clarkson + Ingram wont be a rookie anymore. If Mitch and Jim want to roll with these guys then they need to produce and a respectable level next season. Lou Williams is the only Good Free Agent we have picked up in years and we got lucky to get him because for some reason nobody else wanted him. He was there at the end luckily.
Not that I want them to do it, but they will trade Lou for a bag of chips. What exactly did you expect this year anyway? Have some REAL patience.
Patience isn't the problem with me, I have had it for years. We haven't been technically a threat to win the Championship since the 2011 Season. We were respectable in 2012 but got bounced easily in Round 2 by OKC, then very underachieving in 2013 getting swept out of the Playoffs in Round 1. Ok stuff happens I get it, so we have to rebuild to get good again with Dwight leaving and Kobe being injury prone. So we sit through 2014 going 27-25 I really never complained, go through 2015 at 21-61 I really never complained, even last season at 17-65 I really never complained as I expected to be bad last season.
My expectations for this season wasn't much as I am on record even Posting if we won 30 games it would be a great improving season, so not sure what you are driving at with the Patience saying because I have had it more than most people that Post about the Lakers. Being critical of some of our moves
at times or the product we put out on the floor
at times really has nothing to do with having patience. It's not like I am a constant complainer or basher of the team. I just simply don't trust the direction we are going in
with 100% certainty. I am not sold on Russell becoming a SuperStar nor I am a Randle. I am not sold we have what it takes in the FO to attract big time Free Agents at this point either. Maybe having Magic in there now will help? Not sure? I like Luke Walton as that helps having a Coach that is Good but I am not even sold on him eventually being Great. Like I said my expectations weren't much this season, 30 wins was about it and I already know it will be the Cavs/Warriors in the Finals anyway. It's those teams/players time I know that.
