Why? Success speaks for itself. Don't have to like the Lakers but to diss them at all shows the lack of reality of parenting that you do. If my 10 year old kid ever asked that question id make him go to Wikipedia and look up Lakers and see how many Chips they have,. They play this game to win titles not to just make the playoffs. The difference between the Lakers and Jazz are night and day. Jazz are happy with making playoffs maybe winnign a series and then going home, To a jazz fan that is a good year. To the lakers they are beyond just making the playoffs to be happy. They expect titles...You don't see me going around being an expert at Aussie rules gfootball do you? This is like me commenting on a successful Aussie team and saying they suck when the reality is they do not. Here in AMERICA thwey have a show called first take and I have seen the Lakers being discussed on the show multiple tiems and I have yet to see them even mention the Jazz. I love being right all the time. I love so many of you were claiming a 3 or 4 seed and right now the Jazz are in 9nth place. I said they would be fighting for the last 2 playoff spots with other teams and one of the teams I mentioned were the Lakers. A team with no star is not going win in this league. Jazz havce very good role players but they need to trade and get a big dog.With the culture in Utah being what it is, it slims your options on who to go get. Id go get Jabari if I was the jazz and then Selct Jackson kid from Duke this year, Might have to move up a few spots but I see the Jazz drafting around 12-15.
Take a look at this starting lineup
Jackson
Hood
Parker
Favors
Gobert
Bench of Exum, Trey Lyles, and couple other
Now that's a squad. You would have an athletic backcourt with Jackson and Exum, Shootign of Hood, All around scoring of Parker, Favors can do what he does and that's a junkyard dog type, Hustle points, and then Gobert is sorry on offense but with that team on defense he would be needed. That lineup is athletic and long. Of course we all know the Jazz wont do this because they think Hayward is a star player.lmao
