1992-93 RECAP
Another disappointing season in LA. Just when we thought there would be some progress, the Euro exports we brought over to shake up the NBA not surprisingly weren't able to do it. This team is in a holding pattern, needs a franchise-type player but this league really operates on teams that have more than one elite guy to be honest.
Anyway, it was a disappointing year full stuff. On to the next one.
The team is $11m under the salary cap, so there's room for navigating somehow, but...I'm not quite sure what'll happen yet.
