I said it awhile ago - I don't know how any Lakers fans rooted for this team even when it won the title.
Kuzma, Caruso and kinda sorta KCP were the only guys on that squad who there was an emotional investment in.
Avery Bradley, Danny Green, Rajon Rondo, JaVale McGeee, Quinn Cook, Markeiff Morris, Troy Daniels, Jared Dudley....Jesus - who cares? Howard was more fun to hate than cheer for.
It was a couple of superstar mercs, Kyle Kuzma (who the 'organization' preferred over Brandon Ingram because he he did such a nice job of rearranging Jeanie Buss's guts on the reg), another Klutch Sports charity case w/ KCP and scraps.
This team wasn't any fun when they were good apart from being one of the few teams that could go out there and bludgeon teams defensively, which was novel if nothing else.
It made it a lot easier to ignore them when James decided he wanted to cancel the season over COVID, started making up racist graffiti when other people were getting attention and he didn't feel oppressed enough and then started passing blame to anyone but himself.
Gonna be really happy when he's gone even if it does mean 5-10 years wandering the wilderness. At least it might be some sort of team at that point.
