Anyway, the Detroit thing is technically correct I suppose, but as a practical matter it’s a stretch. Not one player or other employee ever worked for the Gems and the Lakers as far as I’m aware.

In the latest issue of ESPN The Magazine they have an article ranking all the franchises in the four major leagues. A sidebar shows all teams that have moved more than once. For the Lakers, they show the franchise moving from Detroit to Minneapolis prior to the ultimate shift to LA. Was this a true a franchise shift or more of one disbanding and another starting up elsewhere?
