The NBA is the hardest of the major sports leagues to build a winner. It's not like you can make a major haul in a draft (NFL) or develop talent in the minor leagues (MLB/NHL). There are two ways to do it. Big time free agent signing or the draft.

Its the one sport where you really gotta suck to get better. There are no quick fixes. The cap and guaranteed contracts literally force teams to blow it up and get a high lottery pick or get damn lucky with a guy in the late first round.

The Lakers are in the worst place possible. They aren't good enough to compete and they aren't bad enough to land a top pick. Kobe is stuck.
