Let's do this! First round exit in the playoffs. But I'll take it.

Silver lining in all of this is we may keep our top 3 protected pick this year...lol

Ben Simmons, anyone? Actually, there are a lot of good wing and big prospects in the top 5 next year...

Simmons, Labisserie from Kentucky, Ingram from Duke, Jaylen Brown from Cal. I'd be happy with any of them right now. Although, I've seen very little of any of them. Just reading about them.

But top 3 protected? God damnit. Our luck...

The had no idea how bad the Laker offensive scheme was. I had seen others talk about it here, but my god. It consisted almost exclusively of iso 1 on 1 crap. Over and over and over again. Byron thinks he is getting exotic when he runs a pick and roll lol.

Yeah that's pretty much it. And at the end of a game and they need a basket to win or tie and you'd think he'd be drawing up a play or some s**t. Nothing. They're just all sitting around sipping water and taking a break. Finally you see Kobe grab a clipboard to get some sort of an idea of what they're going to do. It's f**king pathetic.

Kobe should retire on Christmas. I don't know why you would want to go out every night to get your a$$ handed to you every night. And it is not like he is balling and the team sucks he looks horrible. As far as the draft pick it is top 3 protected but those spots are in the lottery so we could technically finish in the bottom three and still lose the number 4 draft pick by not having our ping pong ball come up.

Nah, the NBA will not let a disgrace of a franchise that's always tanking get the 1st. With Kobe retiring and needing a face of the franchise I can see them gift wrapping the lakers Ben Simmons

I just can't believe how bad his shot has become. Its so weird to see a player of his caliber deteriorate that quickly.
