The Lakers endured their own brush with a soap opera melodrama at the end of the Kobe Bryant-Shaquille O'Neal era in order to understand the Golden State Warriors who are going through their own highly publicized internal dispute between Kevin Durant and Draymond Green.

On the contrary, the Lakers could lend the shoulder and the ear to their northern counterparts, perhaps explaining to them that they know, in fact, how that will end.
The Warriors are about to separate as a group of boys who have become too old and in search of solo projects.
While the beginning of the end often precedes public frustrations, Monday night was probably a breaking point for the league's best team.
It was at this point that a defeat for the Clippers became a time for the Warriors to celebrate Festivus early, while Green was exposing his grievances, which would have been said to Kevin Durant after the match.
Durant had already criticized Green for the way the match ended, KD having failed to get the ball to end the regulation, and Green instead chose to finish with a routine at home. soil that was, at best, 7.8.
Marcus Thompson II (via Deadspin) from Athletic reports that things really got heated in the locker room.
According to many sources, Green then clarified that he played for years in the theater. He reminded Durant that the Warriors had won before Durant showed up so he would not take Durant's decision. Green accused Durant of doing the whole season with himself even though he was going to leave after this season. Green let out his frustrations about how Durant treated the freelancer – keeping his options open and keeping the story alive, consuming the Warriors and their season with discussions of what Durant would do next.
There is a lot more context in the report. Green is a founding member of the current dynasty. He also chose to spice up the night with b-bombs in reference to Durant. And, it seems, Green is not alone in thinking that the headache of Durant's free waiting agency has become a problem.
CBS Sports, citing Thompson's initial report, said, "Some members of the Warriors do not even want to bother trying to recruit Durant for another season off."
An unidentified Warrior player went so far as to tell Thompson, via CBS Sports, "That being said, it's already impossible for Durant to come back."
However, the outlook for the Lakers this summer is rather bleak, no matter how many stars are considering testing open water.
Kawhi Leonard does not seem to have to sign with the Lakers; Jimmy Butler has a new life in Philly and Kyrie Irving is destined to stay east with the Celtics or Knicks.
So, if the Lakers ever wanted to play a superstar alongside LeBron James, they would have to grow another one in a biological or commercial way.
Or, they could simply take one of a dynasty that would die of wanting to implode.
The warriors are good. They were good for a moment. Trouble settles and life has its way of making drama, even on a well-oiled machine like the Warriors.
Any hope of a superstar hit now rests in Oakland. Durant, following the November plot, ends his term at Golden State.
While a concert in New York is beckoning, there have been rumors that the Lakers are a possibility.
Skip Bayless, via The Big Lead, said in August that Durant was playing in the eyes of the Lakers.
I was also told that Kevin would be listening next year, depending on what would happen. What will the Lakers look like with LeBron? How are you going to play? What will it look like? It could be a disaster. Will DeMarcus's cousins work at Golden State or not?
Now, Stephen A. Smith updates the race and gives it through the nose, according to The Big Lead.
I hear Knicks and Lakers with the Lakers having the edge. That's what I hear. Two weeks ago, I heard that the Knicks had the advantage. Now, I hear the Lakers having the edge. Let me tell you something, it seems to be one of those two teams that is Kevin Durant's next destination.
Most players would shrink in James' shadow. Durant would be this singular sportsman who could match James on the big top and on the court
While other free agents were likely to play alongside Durant, KD proved that he was able to jump aboard a smooth sailboat as he had done with the Warriors.
If the skull of Durant and Green causes irreparable damage, the Lakers would be one of the two destinations where it will land next summer.
If Durant measures how things are going in Latin America, he must be slightly satisfied. The reception is a juggernaut being written. There does not seem to be a "me" in the veteran team of the Meme Team, and the young core is progressing well.
Sometimes the nightmare of another team is the absolute dream of another.
