Should have put in the caveat.. in the post Daddy Buss era...
Since papa san passed away in 2013 and control of the team passed on to his progeny Jeannie and Jim Buss .. the Lakers have not made the playoffs since and have sucked copious amounts of canal water during that stretch.
After floundering for 3 seasons even when the opportunity presented itself to hire Jerry West after he stepped away in Memphis....the Lakers hired the no experience whatsoever Magic Johnston to run the franchise.
They suck man.. and they will continue to mirror the Knicks till they hire a professional to run the franchise and stay the hell out of his way.

I think them stinking since 2013 is because they no longer had Kobe Bryant in his prime. It's incredibly difficult to find someone on that level. Most teams never do. If its image they're after then nothing works better than winning games.

They did get Lebron, who is at least a few levels above the perpetually overrated Kobe. Lakers just needed to put some decent role players around Lebron that could still play .500 when he doesn't play. Instead, they got rid of good players and signed the All Shaqtin a Fool team in the off-season, banking that the Anthony Davis hijacking would pan out.Mamba Mentality

People should stop giving Magic credit for getting LeBron. LeBron was already planning to go there regardless of who the president of basketball ops was.
Magic has made disastrous moves and is just getting out now cause he knows they'll strike out in FA and be pretty crap next year too. So many bad decisions:
- Not moving the #2 pick for George
- Letting Randle leave and using his money to sign Rondo
- Letting Lopez walk
- Signing horrible fitting players to play with LeBron
- Not signing Cousins

Kobe Bryant is a top 10 player in NBA history. And probably the second most popular NBA player of all time. Second behind MJ. How is that overrated?
