Hope can also make team make bad decisions about what they need to compete for a championship. The Lakers overestimated how good they were in the bubble, ignoring that LeBron and AD were both 100% rested and healthy AND had outlier 3-point shooting percentages in the bubble playoffs. Looks like the front office still believes they don’t need to make major changes to complete for the championship next season.
That could prove to be a serious misjudgement as team needs rim protection and lob threat from their center (neither of which Drummond can deliver) and high percentage, high volume 3-point shooting (which the current roster cannot deliver), and quality point guard ball security and elite playmaking (which Schroder cannot deliver).
