Bleacher Report's Grant Hughes suggested just that. This is from a recent article:
Often, the Lakers' legacy, star power and glamor market allow them to secure talent at a discount. This time, L.A. lost out on a key target who took less to go elsewhere.
Missing on (Klay) Thompson wouldn't have stung as much if the Lakers had pivoted to other difference-making acquisitions. But because they've only re-signed LeBron James, agreed to terms with Bronny James and handed Max Christie a four-year, $32 million extension, their offseason rates as a major disappointment.
Maybe the allure of L.A. isn't what it used to be.
Klay finally decided to head to Dallas, as opposed to signing for more money with the team (Lakers) that traded for his dad in 1987. The title of Hughes' article is (by the way), Every NBA Team's Biggest Miscalculation This Offseason.
So, what's Hughes' take on the Celtics offseason (per Grant Hughes):
We'll only do this once, but there's nothing to second guess about the Celtics' summer.
My readers have no idea just how good it feels to read that. LA losing its luster and Boston having a perfect off-season thus far. Truly heartwarming.
