It’s actually pretty funny you say that. It does look and feel the same. Only difference is that the Lakers are the Lakers and always somehow get guys at a better value than other teams.
It took the Mavs tanking 1 year and 4 crazy trades to retool and become mega competitive.
The Lakers then should only take 1 tanking year and 2 crazy trades because of their buff.
