I haven't followed the Lakers all that closely over the years, but it seems the biggest mistake Jim Buss and Mitch Kuphhack made was giving Kobe that huge contract as he was entering his career twilight years.
And when look at their last 2 or 3 drafts. they looked to be headed in the right direction.
