I think the Lakers is not the organization that develops young guns but just acquires stars that will secure them championships immediately. They are not the type of team that wants to go through rebuilding.

Agree with that, they are a team that can afford to sign superstars, so why would they start with the young guns? They were able to do that with Kobe, he got O'neil, and when O'neil left the team, they got Gasol and Odom. Now that they have Lebron James, they'll make sure that he will be surrounded by great star players and they won't mess up again this season for sure.

I think they are done with that after the bad experiment they did after Kobe retired.
And it proves by the players they are signing in the past few seasons after acquiring Lebron James and Anthony Davis.
The goal is to win now and maximize the contract left with Lebron James. Maybe, 1 or 2 more championships while he is still healthy and his speed is still intact.

The Warriors won again versus the Wizards. That was their 2nd game and 2nd win this preseason.

I don't think that they are done though with the experiment, it's that after Gasol left or those part of their winner team, they haven't seen the perfect fit. There's so much expectation with Howard join, but we all know what happened, they break up. Until Kobe retires and they were able to just get so-so players. Lebron and AD comes, find the perfect pieces, win a ring. Then they let most of their support cast for reason, try to rebuild last year but it was a failure. Now they added new faces they years so let's see if this is a success or another failure.
