Because we were? And our team was way better.. Hibbert-PG-West were nasty.. Best defense in the league.. Better HC too who can actually make adjustments. But hey keep believing. It'll feel much better seeing y'all lose. Crooooooooooooooooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In before you make some sort of comment about how the Lakers "lucked" into the situation. Take the entire Lakers organization. Move them to Minnesota. They don’t get either of those players.

LA is a bigger / better market than MN and always will be - but being in a bigger/better market doesnt make you a preferred destination all by itself (read: NY Knicks).

Lakers were as poorly run as the Knicks. Lebron just wanted to be in LA, now they’re a huge destination because of Lebron AND being in LA. The Lakers aren’t a well run organization, they’re just the Lakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not great - but they're not terrible. Would I like to have Jerry West or Pat Riley running ops? Yup. Did I think Mitch was a great GM? Nope. Do I know Rob cant get it done? Nope.

Lodestar Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 As a fan of the Packers, Raptors, Blue Jays, and Canucks, I'm always curious what it's like to be a fan of the Lakers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc. Like do you get the same satisfaction from winning knowing that your team has inherent advantages other teams simply do not have? Does it ever get boring? Or is it just always exhilarating knowing that no matter how bad your team might be for a stretch, you're always one offseason away from competing for a title? GS injuries be damned, this Raptors season was the most fun I've ever had as a sports fan. Masai pulled off IMO the greatest trade in the history of sports, a goofy *** nobody replaced the coach of the year, so many guys upped their game and rallied around Kawhi, and it all culminated in Kyle Lowry hoisting the Larry OB for the city of Toronto. This kind of thing happens once in a lifetime if you're lucky. Edit: And I'll qualify this by saying I'm lucky as hell to have grown up a Packers fan. It's just a different kind of luck.

As a Packer, Yankee and Laker fan - no - winning never loses its luster, get boring or is taken for granted. Every team/organization has had down times - some of them extensive. I appreciate and recognize the differences (and potential competitive balances) between markets. In fact - I've been called a "bad fan" (which is funny in and of itself.....) because I've expressed the NYY not buy every FA that comes on the market - but rather build a roster smartly and financially prudent. Oh well. Cant please everybody all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If being you means trading in my Canucks fan card for literally any other squad on the planet, then I wish I were you. The GOAT trade convo is one I've actually been wanting to have. I know there are tons of examples where one guy is traded for a king's ransom, or where guys are traded for pennies and go on to become all-time greats... but for me, when you consider the cunning and guts it took to pull off the Kawhi trade — trading the face of your franchise, a guy who has embraced the city like no one else in team history, for one year of a guy who might not even be healthy enough to play, who might not even be willing to play for you — and then that guy leads you to a damn championship in his first year — from a risk-reward standpoint, it doesn't get any better than that. (Well, obviously it gets a bit better if he stays...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
