So my answer is yes, I’m interested in them succeeding. But do i think they will? No.
Well no....go read the original post. The point made, was that considering how fed up he was with our 3 stars....even if somehow they miraculously started to gel, and succeed....would he even want to watch? He then posed the question for us to discuss.
Some peeps are kinda morphing this into a 'what do you mean you don't want the Lakers to succeed' thing...when in reality (for me) I hope the Lakers win a title, but I certainly won't be watching. No.....I'm not interested in watching this trio play next season. Win or lose. And if Melo is there....that goes double for me.
I think the original post had more to do with the bigger picture, kinda "state of the franchise" thing. Not really about wanting the Lakers to do bad. It's more about how unlikable and unwatchable our current team is. So he'd rather move them. Even if that resulted in a lesser team. Because even if they did do better, it's not an enjoyable product. And the 3 are a little hard to get behind.
I've put some words in his mouth here, but that's the gist of it, as I read it. Maybe he will respond and make clarifications.
