Lakers don't even need to be an contender to draw though. They've been in the doldrums for 4 seasons now and still are tops in road attendance and still outdraw the Clippers in LA. They are and will forever be the glamour franchise of the league. A few lean years isn't going to change that. Boston was irrelevant for 20 years and nobody cared. The NBA needs the Lakers to get back to prominence. That's how everyone else eats.Lakers being a contender can draw ratings for a number of matchups in the league now Lakers-celtics, Lakers-warriors, Lakers spurs, etc.
Keep in mind, Emmanuel Mudiay is only 21 years old. There's still plenty of time for him to turn this around. Just off to a rough start. https://t.co/n8AeoUr02K
Damn

Remove the Bulls from that statementI never got that "Knicks/Lakers/Celtics/Bulls being good is good for the NBA" thing
Who remembers Derrick Rose dancing
Then acting like he can't dance
So Parsons is done and Drummond wants to be rapper
Remove the Bulls from that statement
"Need" is a strong term. I would say the league largely benefits from having the Knicks/Celtics/Lakers be good.
