The Lakers at some point are going to get better when all of their young talent starts meshing.
It might not be any time soon and that is why Kevin Durant just let their calls go to voicemail.
On why he chose not to meet with the Los Angeles Lakers:
“I just didn’t. Nothing against the Lakers, but I already had my eyes set on who I wanted to talk to. It wasn’t nothing against the Lakers. I really respect their team, but I just felt like they were a couple of years away from where I wanted to be.”
That is a nice way to say he wasn’t going to sign with a bad team, so why waste his and their time.
