On Sunday, Kobe Bryant briefly took fans’ minds off the fact that their team only had two wins on the season after announcing his pending retirement. In the “Ben Simmons Bowl,” the Lakers took on the Philadelphia 76ers Tuesday night for the title of NBA’s worst, and Los Angeles won… or lost depending on how you look at life.
Considering that the Sixers possess LA’s top three protected pick, and that even with the league’s worst record the Lakers would only have a 65 percent chance of keeping their pick, tanking away another season is not a viable option, though that seems to be Byron Scott‘s ongoing game plan.
