任何人谁是读过其中销售210万册博士诺曼·文森特·皮尔的1952年“积极思考的力量，”我的观点似乎更奇怪。但皮尔博士显然不明白的NBA选秀。
简单地说，唯一的机会，湖人有被明年的季后赛球队，如果他们在联赛或者更糟的第五最可怕的记录完成。然后，他们有机会保持自己的选秀权，否则去凤凰作为臭名昭著的史蒂夫 - 纳什交易的结果（好像纳什是不是已经足够了灾难。）
是的，帮派，可悲的事实是糟糕的湖人队的战绩更好的机会获得较高的选秀权，并与一点点运气，即使是状元！去年的第一轮选秀权，朱利叶斯·兰德尔，无缘本赛季断腿在他的第一场比赛！但希望他会回来的。
等会科比，只有谁发挥在今年（少了一个比他的年龄）的35场比赛由于撕裂肩袖。明年湖人将能够负担得起，而不是火车事故，他们已经在过去的赛季和一个半最大信号合同的球员（凯文 - ？乐福），也许湖人队可能是一个很好的团队是的，前面的前提是大量的“什么如果，”但希望我们所有湖人球迷都有。

可以说是所有时代最伟大的湖人球员，魔术师约翰逊，同意了我。在12月，他说，“湖人需要认真对待失去。”（失去15出16真的是太严重了。）
在去年4月，吉姆 - 巴斯，杰里的儿子，负责篮球运营的，承诺他会辞职，如果湖人不回内顶“了几年。”（这让我不知道他的“定义几个“是什么。）其实，我想巴斯家族将出售球队魔术，但那是另一列的另一天。
甚至还有一组在Twitter上被称为“TeamTank15，”忠实的湖人球迷谁知道赢在大画面的唯一方法就是在当前照片丢失。团队坦克监控等糟糕队，湖人队征战到达底部。他们已经普及象“坦克你了”和“失去更多的奥卡福，”指的是杜克大学的Jahlil奥卡福，谁可能成为状元6月份的NBA选秀。
但可怕的是不那么容易，因为有很多的竞争。像76人，尼克斯和森林狼队有几十年的实践，在失去，而湖人是比较新的失败的游戏。

说起尼克斯，他们还没有赢得过总冠军，因为1973年年至1942年年十年。上帝保佑，我们可以结束了“尼克斯西。”（咬我的舌头，因为我打字。）
也挑战湖人的比赛进行到最底层的是奥兰多魔术队，其中，截至记者发稿时，有39负。再有就是犹他爵士队，其中有34个亏损，并可能破坏我的情况，如果他们继续连败的湖人队，但愿，继续连胜。
团队坦克图表胜每天最坏的专营权损失。关注感叹偶尔湖人夺冠庆祝的安装失败。尼克斯有43负，而76人队和T'Wolves有42如果湖人把自己的头脑，他们可以做的更差。一个家伙这样梦想，不是吗？

The Lakers, the NBA and the power of negative thinking
By Jack Neworth on February 14, 2015 in The Snide World of Sports -.
The NBA All-Star Game is this Sunday at perhaps the most famous sporting venue in the world, New York's Madison Square Garden. As a result, during the past few days, I found myself thinking back to when I attended my first professional basketball game in Los Angeles in 1960. I'd like to say my parents took me in an infant seat, but the truth is I was in the 10th grade.
The newly arrived LA Lakers played in the newly built Los Angeles Sports Arena, the site of the 1960 Democratic National Convention which nominated JFK. (The arena was designed by Welton Beckett, who also designed our Civic Auditorium and the high-rise apartment building in which I live, the Shores!)
That year the Lakers featured future Hall of Famers Elgin Baylor and Jerry West. Sadly, this year, the team has lost 15 of its last 16 games and has not won on the road in 2015! Having already lost 40 games, they will likely break last year's record, the worst in their history in LA
In 1957-58 the Minneapolis Lakers had a winning percentage of 26.4 percent. Our current Lakers are at 24 percent. So, with 29 games left, being the "worst ever" in franchise history is on the horizon. As a Laker die-hard , I hope they do it! (Say, what?)

To anyone who's ever read Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's 1952 "The Power of Positive Thinking," which sold 2.1 million copies, my point of view may seem even odder. But Dr. Peale clearly did not understand the NBA draft.
Simply put, the only chance the Lakers have of being a playoff team next year is if they finish with the fifth-most dreadful record in the league or worse. Then they have a chance to keep their draft choice, which otherwise goes to Phoenix as a result of the infamous Steve Nash trade. (As if Nash was not already enough of a disaster.)
Yes, gang, the sad truth is the worse the Lakers' record the better their chance to get a high draft choice and, with a little luck, even a No. 1 pick! Last year's first-round draft choice, Julius Randle, missed this season with a broken leg in his very first game! But hopefully he will be back.
And so will Kobe, who played only 35 games this year (one less than his age) due to a torn rotator cuff. Next year the Lakers will be able to afford a maxium-contract player (Kevin Love?) And maybe the Lakers could be a good team, instead of the train wreck they've been for the past season and a half. Yes, the preceding is predicated on a lot of "what ifs," but hope is all we Laker fans have.

Speaking of the Knicks, they have not won a championship since 1973 - 42 years God forbid, we could wind up the. "Knicks West." (Biting my tongue as I type.)
Also challenging the Lakers' race to the bottom is the Orlando Magic, which, as of this writing, has 39 losses. Then there's the Utah Jazz, which has 34 losses and could wreck my scenario if they go on a losing streak and the Lakers , heaven forbid, go on a winning streak.
Team Tank charts the wins and losses of the worst franchises every day. Followers lament the occasional Laker win and celebrate the mounting defeats. The Knicks have 43 losses, while the 76ers and the T'Wolves have 42. If the Lakers put their mind to it, they can do worse. A guy can dream, can not he?
