7-3 in the last 10
2 games behind the best team in the West and 3 games behind the best overall all without a single game with a fully healthy roster.
When we win, every Lakers fan says we’re the best team ever and don’t change anything. When we lose you switch up so fast to trade everyone and we’re the worst team since the inception of the NBA.
Until I see a fully healthy roster perform, I’m not blowing up the roster and crippling our future for an injury prone Lavine on a massive contract for the next few years. He definitely doesn’t move the needle for us especially if we have to move DLo + Rui/AR + picks.
Both are not mutually exclusive. It’s ok to judge performance after 18 games. It’s also ok to wait for the full roster. What’s clear to anyone that watches basketball outside of the Lakers (which I’m convinced, this sub does not really do), we’re a clear Tier below the best teams, and we may not even be the best team in the Tier below the best teams. The “just wait till Vando” comes back contingency in this sub is in for a rude awakening once they realize the team still has some gaping holes
