Jeanie’s Jumbo-Sized Regret Over Roster Remix…
Picture this: the Lakers partied their way to a championship in the Orlando bubble in 2020, and the confetti was barely cleaned up when they decided to play a game of musical chairs with their roster. Out went key players like Danny Green and Dwight Howard, and in came Dennis Schroder and his crew. Starting strong at 21-6 in the following season, it seemed like a genius plan until, bam! Injuries hit harder than a LeBron slam dunk, and the team grappled with a slippery slope to the playoffs.
LeBron and AD were left limping, and the Lakers’ dreams went *poof* in the face-off with the Phoenix Suns. Now, in a revelation worthy of a soap opera plot twist, Jeanie Buss, the Lakers’ head honcho, shared on a podcast that she wishes she’d stuck with the winning lineup instead of playing roster roulette: “Phil Jackson was right! Champs should get a chance to defend their crown,” she lamented while welcoming back Markieff Morris with a big ‘my bad’ hug.
Fast forward a few seasons, and voila, the Lakers are gleefully hoarding talents like Luka Doncic. Jeanie’s dusting off her dad’s playbook and dreaming of championship parades again. So, has she learned her lesson? Well, only time will tell if the new Lakers remix hits all the right notes!
