Over the past few years, the Lakers organization has taken a large amount of criticism, some fair and some unfair. From both local and national writers alike, their approach in free agency, coaching hires, and general observations of potential organizational clashes have received skepticism.
One can argue that the Lakers have shifted their approach and are headed on the right track. From hiring Luke Walton, to drafting Brandon Ingram, they appear to be on the right path. While that may be true, being on the right direction today doesn't necessarily mean they will end up in the right destination.
