they didnt fail under Magic, Magic did exactly what he said he was going to do in that year he was with the team. the Lakers are run like poo but it doesnt matter because they are in LA and that makes everything better. 

The Hornets could become the LA Hornets and the Lakers could become the Charlotte Lakers and with no other change, the LA Hornets would instantly become one of the league's hottest FA spots.

No.

Got any names?

Just off the top of my head, Metta World Peace and Steve Nash would've instantly been major cogs here. 

It's also worth noting that the Lakers were both cap-stretched due to Kobe, and later tanking, for several seasons -- and still managed to land a superteam in the offseason. Think the Hornets can pull off the same thing in a couple years?

Artest was over a decade ago and he really wasn't all that for the Lakers.  Certainly not an All-NBA player like Big Al Jefferson was for the Bobnets.

Nash signed with the Lakers in year 17 of an 18 year career....Tony Parker signing with the Bobnets was just as meaningful as Nash signing with the Lakers.

Want to to take another shot at any meaningful signings by Lakers in the decade prior to Lebron?

Why? All you’re doing is dissing whoever I mention. I don’t get your point in attempting to disagree that LA is a bigger FA destination.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
