Aloha,
I was just thinking of the talent the Lakers have drafted or signed as non drafted players. It’s pretty impressive. I’ve included players received using a Lakers first round pick.

DLO
Lonzo
Austin
Hart
Caruso

Dyson Daniel’s promising 6’ 8” pg picked by the Pels
Dalton Knect
SF

Jayden McDaniels TWolves
Deandre Hunter Hawks

That would be a pretty good team. It’s a testament to Rob’s brilliant leadership that we don’t have more to show for it.
3 All-Stars (who probably didn’t really warrant it), none as Lakers. Guys they missed on have led their teams to championships. Just plenty of boneheaded decisions by management. Too much placating of Lebron and the Klutch Klowns. Sad management decisions likely spurred on by clueless ownership.
Randle did. 3 time all star and 2 time all NBA. And we let him walk for nothing.
You could make that argument, but his own team would disagree. Of the 3, he’s probably the only one who was maybe worth an all-star nod. Knicks pretty much wanted to get rid of him at any chance and immediately regretted paying him. The NY cred bump is real. But yes, the idiocy of the FO letting him just walk was just as real.
