Paying Kobe for a few too many years when the team was going nowhere and not recovering when Dwight Howard left via free agency to the Rockets.

Can anyone tell me why the Lakers aren't better? Why isn't Lebron there?

Kobe's greed sunk the franchise, just like I knew it would. So delicious.

The nash and Howard trades hurt more than Kobe's contract

Hard to be good when you give big money to an older Luol Deng and Mosgov

I have a hard time believing the Lakers don't have money.

They have plenty of money from their local TV deal alone. According to Forbes

Point being, Sam Hinkie was locking up Rob Covington's at 1 million a year

Don't forget about the league blocking Chris Paul from joining the Lakers.

No kidding... that was ridiculous. But they still let Durant go to GSW.

What assets did they have? Just picks?

The Lakers didn't lose too much in the Howard trade

The draft picks, trade exception, and expiring contract were the big ones

Stern with his huge overreach in the CP3 deal

Doesn't mean it's true. Pure Speculation

They were never going to allow CP3 to go to the Lakers
