i know ive said it before but lakers executing the sixers tanking process better than them and receiving zero flack for it is really something

kobe masked anything else they were trying to do
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:05 (seven years ago) link
letting kobe play a zillion minutes of low efficiency bball for a couple years was a brilliant tanking mechanism+cover-up all in one

+hiring byron scott
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:11 (seven years ago) link
whats funny is its still unclear if they were doing it on purpose lol
they were 1 million percent not trying to tank on purpose
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:15 (seven years ago) link
ya i tend to agree the tell being their repeated failed attempts to sign free agents
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:16 (seven years ago) link
tho tanking cldve been their backup plan
trading for roy hibbert and signing nick young and hiring byron scott will def go down as the most successful accidental tanking plan of all time tho
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 22 June 2016 16:21 (seven years ago) link
it was pretty genius. probably faked that j randle injury too. let the man sit a year and don't f him up having to listen to kobe/byron for an extra year

I like handing over the reigns to Schroeder but I figured we could do better than the 12th pick
