How big an impact has the Lakers’ search for a creator next to LeBron James had on their misfortune?

Remember back in 2017, when LeBron James’ shots at his front office were simply sources of entertainment for Lakers fans? His subtweets were Twitter fodder and nothing more, back when he was either in Miami or Cleveland. With the Lakers, though, his subliminal messages land a little different.

When James first arrived in Los Angeles, he and Magic Johnson embarked on a grand experiment. Rather than surrounding James with shooting, length, athleticism, and defensive wherewithal that helped him win championships in Miami and Cleveland, the Lakers instead opted for, well, not that.

James’ analysis of that experiment was somehow more amazing, as he made a literal fart noise when asked how he thought that went.
