Patience
Posted: Wed Apr 12, 2017 4:45 pm
I have learned to have patience with the Los Angeles Lakers over the last 4 seasons. 2014 = 27-55, 2015 = 21-61, 2016 = 17-65, 2017 = 26-55. All 4 seasons 27 wins or less. I am willing to give it 1 more year before I really rip the team or be negative. I think Russell needs 1 more season before he gets Good to Very Good. Next season is season 3 for him, to me his season 4 is the huge tell all for me and he will then be 23. Ingram needs at least next season before I can be overly critical of him as well. In season 3, I expect big things from him though. I want to give Magic and Rob this off season and 2018 offseason before I judge them. So I will put up with bad play for 1 more season but after the 2018 season it's do or die IMO with what we do with this team. If we still stink in 18-19 something needs to give. I still expect we wont be good next season but after that my patience will run out. In the 2019 Season Russell should pan out by then and be an All-Star, Ingram should be an All-Star too, and Magic should have a Superstar signed by that season. If not that isn't good at all. So next season = 2018 I wont be too much of an asshole but look out in 2019 if we still stink
