Just checking out some of the conspiracy videos on YouTube, and I was wondering at what point do "regular" fans start to question the validity of some of these accusations. The 2013 Lakers have become heavily in focus, especially after the Golden State game. At what point does benefit-of-the-doubt and "it's a hard job" no longer become excuses?
And here's a question: we know what happens to our draft if the Lakers make the playoffs, but what happens to theirs? Do they keep their pick, which will be around #16 or so? Could the league want them to make the playoffs so they can keep their own pick? Better to have a potential young contributor next season than an end of the round project.
