Lakers rumors: Three reasons tanking is bad for Los Angeles

The latest Lakers rumors address why tanking isn’t the best idea for Los Angeles after all.

Out of all the Lakers rumors, talking about tanking is a must. Now that this season is all but over, it’s time for teams to try and figure out how to improve over the summer. This comes into play especially for teams not in the playoff hunt.

Obviously, one of those team is the Los Angeles Lakers. Their young core is still trying to find their sweet spot, but they’re getting close. While this isn’t exactly where everyone wants them to be, it’s a step in the right direction from this time a year ago.
