Good decisions build equity. Bad decisions send you on a spiral. We know this in our personal lives when one bad decision careens into another.
Soon, we are bailing water out of the boat and making compromises we never thought we would. The opposite can also be true – when one or two insightful choices lead you on a personal winning streak that swells into true momentum in life. What we sometimes call luck is more akin to gravity.
The random nature of happenstance compounds a series of poor decisions, finally manifesting into catastrophe. The flip side can happen when doors seem to fly open when things are already going well.
The further down the road we get in life, the tougher it is to course-correct our path because decisions large and small carry reverberation and impact us in ways we cannot divine when we make them.
Even though I haven’t heard Dave Matthews sing “Pay For What You Get” in over 30 years, the song immediately came to me when I learned that the Los Angeles Lakers were having difficulties this offseason.
According to LakersDaily, the purple and gold are making every effort to strengthen their roster. From Klay Thompson to Spencer Dinwiddie, free agents choose to sign with the Dallas Mavericks over the Los Angeles Lakers as their team. Tauraen Prince made the choice to sign a contract with the Milwaukee Bucks. Dalton Knecht and Bronny James, the draft picks, are the only new players on the Lakers squad.
Lakers General Manager Due to situationally inflated asking prices, Rob Pelinka has not been able to sign reported trade targets Jerami Grant, Kyle Kuzma, Bruce Brown, Cameron Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Wendell Carter Jr. Despite Jeremi Grant’s albatross contract and age of thirty, the Portland Trailblazers are said to have demanded two first-round selections and matching salary for the seasoned forward.
Why? Because they can. Portland – alongside other teams fielding calls from the Lakers – knows that the pressure to improve the team is palpable given what remains of the LeBron James timeline. Yet there is more than LeBron’s age driving this NBA price gauging.
It is largely a result of poor front-office decision-making over multiple seasons. The list of missteps makes any serious NBA fan feel a shiver down their spine. Choosing Horton-Tucker over Alex Caruso.
Shipping off Caldwell-Pope and Kuzma in the Westbrook trade. Trading Jaden McDaniels for Dennis Schroder. Ivica Zubac for Mike Muscala. These moves have something in common – they aim to be a sugar rush, attempting to give LeBron James a chance to add to his ring count. An organization can afford an isolated blunder but cannot absorb one bad personnel move after another without the bill eventually becoming due.
