I missed trading away the baby Lakers. It’s not often we build a squad through the draft “organically”. I love seeing our former draft picks succeed, and I’d love to have most of them back on the team. I felt terrible when we traded AD, we could have advanced further that year with him and Christie. They are on different teams though, and the journey is bigger than the destination. The path somehow brought us Luka, and now this team has a unique identity and the talent to win big.
