With the exception of the five minutes of pure euphoria that came as a result of Monday’s NBA Draft Lottery, Lakers fans are generally unhappy.
The Lakers are coming off of their sixth consecutive season without a playoff berth despite the fact that they signed LeBron James, who hasn’t missed the postseason since 2006, to a four-year, $153.3 million deal last summer. Not only that, but there is a sense of uncertainty around the team’s front office after Magic Johnson stepped down from his position as president of basketball operations in April.
