Just wait til the Lakers defy odds and win the lottery/the Zion sweepstakes.
This conspiracy theory is starting to look a bit shaky.
I'm sure another one will take its place soon.

Just like Russle and Randle once they left the Lakers.
Nah,they wouldn't dare fix something like that at the 1% odd the Lakers will have.
They could gift them a top4 pick however.#3 sounds about right.
They've ed up their #2 picks time and time again. Why not one more time?
Lebron is there now.He has that " them kids" at ude all his life.
If they are gifted a high enough pick it's being packaged in a trade for sure.
I disagree, Ingram is enourmosly better than DDR. No even close. From every point of view.
Lol wut
Both losers who play no defense. At least Demar can pass the ball. Plus he would probably leave SA next year anyways so we would have traded Kawhi for nothing.
Honestly, the Lakers didn't get a call or two they should've gotten against the Suns last night in the last four minutes. Stern Jr. gonna make sure those refs hear about that, tbh.
There's a reason why the conspiracy theories have legs. Did you see Trae Young get ejected tonight? I'll put a link below. If that game had meant anything, people would be screaming that the fix was in. When refs do stuff like this, the conspiracy theories will never stop.
Skip out to about the 1:40 mark.

The Lakers FO did screw it up, but LeBron screwed it up even worse - wasting at least one whole year late in his career. That's the part I like best.
If the implication is that happens when nothing is on the line, then you've made a really ty argument. ROTY is up for grabs and Trae is getting too hot for a league that benefits greatly from a white guy like Doncic taking the honors.
The thing about the vast majority of Conspiracy Theories is that there are no specifics. If your argument is that refs are human and they make ty calls sometimes based on some subjective bias, then I'd agree, yes, that is plausible. But if you're saying that Adam Silver picked up the phone and called the refs working a certain game and told them to make sure one team got all the favorable calls... well, I'm calling bull on that. Look at this thread: there's a conspiracy theory that things are rigged for the Lakers to get into the playoffs, AND another that the Lakers will land Zion in the draft... If neither of these come true, does anyone say, "Ok, I was wrong-- I admit it." No, they just move on to the next theory until they get one right and then say, "A-Ha! See?! I TOLD you!"
Lebron with the Lakers is starting to look as irrelevant as Michael Jordan with the Wizards
The Lakers have missed the playoffs five straight years (six including this year) and the future looks even worse now than it did a couple of years ago.
What do the Lakers have to show for all their high lottery picks, five years and counting?
They have a roster not good enough to make the playoffs and, even worse, their best player is in decline -- he won't be as good next year as he is now. (And he has a $41 million/year salary upcoming.)
They rid themselves of Julius Randle, D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson and Zubac for, literally, nothing in return. (But not to worry, they have Lonzo Ball and his dad adding their own brand of positive energy.)
So where will the Lakers brain trust lead them now?
Jeannie Buss is not a rocket scientist -- Lebron has played her worse than Phil Jackson did. And Jeannie is running out of family members to get rid of (remember how dumping Jim Buss was supposed to solve all problems?).
Jerry West wanted to come back and reassemble the championship Lakers but instead Jeannie chose someone named Rob Pelinka.
Now the Clippers are owned by a billionaire and, across the hall, the Lakers are a struggling mom and pop organization (with no pop in sight).
The Lakers have about as much future as the Queen of England (according to the Sex Pistols).
The best part is just watching the Laker Fan's delusions come crashing down.
They were convinced LeBron would mean an instant ticket to the WCF.
They were convinced their young bloods were the second coming of Magic, Bird, and Jordan.
They were convinced that boneheads like Lance, Rondo, Beas, KCP, and McGee would magically turn their games around (In fairness, JaVale has been okay for them).
They were convinced that the FO would pull strings at the trade deadline to bring in a sidekick for LeBron.
And despite all this turmoil, they are still convinced that Kawhi or KD is going to come calling this summer, and New Orleans will reconsider their garbage offer for the best bigman in the game.
The only silver lining of this topsy-turvy Spurs season is watching Lebron's Lakers crash and burn.
Yep! If spurs can make it to the playoffs and Lakers miss, I'd consider this a successful season Haha. Especially since we helped them get 3 losses. Love it.
Even the jobless Carmelo Anthony don't want any part of that storm.
The Lakers will be laughing all the way to the draft. "Winning" the 8th seed is sort of a dubious honor.
The Spurs would probably get knocked out in five if they can get to the #7 seed and face Denver, but at least it won't be a bunch of 141-102 games. I guess Poetl is better than nothing but I kind of wished they would have just held on to Leonard and suspended him.
Considering how bad DDR is, I also wish we kept Leonard and played him at center in garbage time.
Uh, no. The media would have you believe otherwise, but his PER is 13.5, not even league average 15.0, and his VORP is -0.4. That means that you could pick up a player off waivers, give him enough touches on the horrible Lakers squad, and that player would likely give you his productivity, plus a smidgen. He's just hyped because he's on the Lakers. If he were a T'Pup, or some other flyover franchise's player, he'd be called an out and out bust for a #2 pick. If you want to go old school stats, Demar wins there, too. More ppg/apg/rpg.
Ingram sucks
Haven't really watched them much this season but would be pretty crazy/hilarious if they actually missed the playoffs...
Still think their young guys are overrated AF but the real issue is Maginka nabbing LeBron in Free Agency and then surrounding him with the worst possible vets you possibly could.....Rondo, Lance, McGee, Chandler, KCP, Beasley
The hilarious thing is that if Davis IS traded elsewhere, and I'd consider it highly likely, they'll have to put together ANOTHER one year sandwich roster to save the cap room for him. Two years of wasted LeBron.Haven't really watched them much this season but would be pretty crazy/hilarious if they actually missed the playoffs...
