The Lakers are a mess. You don’t need me to tell you this, of course. You’re reading this, so you have the internet and are likely at least somewhat interested in the happenings of team. It didn’t take a very well reported Baxter Holmes piece to lead ESPN on Tuesday to convince you any more than you already were. No, all that did was bring tangible examples to things we’d already thought or had been implied and hinted at via previous reporting.
Despite the title of this post, then, I’m not going to offer a full throated defense of the Lakers here.
