The Lakers are just as ready for this season to be over as the rest of us

The 2021-22 Lakers season has been as disappointing as any other in recent memory, maybe even rivaling the injury-marred horror show that was the 2012-13 campaign. Like that season, the Lakers entered this year with a revamped roster around their aging superstar thanks to a blockbuster trade for one of the most accomplished point guards in the NBA.

Also like those Lakers, these ones were expected to contend with a three-headed monster of a superteam in the east with their own “big three,” only for everything to go haywire almost immediately. And in another parallel, the disappointing on-court product has been overshadowed by off-court drama that has thrown everything into further chaos.
