Trading LeBron was never going to be on the table. Very very few teams have the capacity to trade for his contract, plus LA would definitely be asking for picks along with it because you're not going to trade LeBron for just matching salaries no matter what stage of his career he's in. Plus he has a player option in the summer so basically telling whatever team that would try to trade for him that you either are a top tier contender or I won't resign. So the team would just be throwing away $45 million in contracts plus picks for half a season of LeBron James. It wasn't going to happen.
@@Lazar236 It's a sport... the players are going to try and win... You think he came to the lakers because he wanted the franchise to have another ring? LMFAO You can't be serious. You think he was sitting in his home thinking to himself, yeah I want the lakers to win again. Cmon.
Well you're mostly right. He's into the business and the Lakers need to do what's best for next season and beyond. But he DOES care about the franchise because he cares about his legacy as a part of it. Especially since IMHO, this is a great time for him to step away from the game.
I’m so glad you said this, it’s all legit his fault. I’m tired of seeing people act as if he’s a victim of the Lakers when the Lakers are a victim of him.
Tell me how LeBron is not loyal. 1. Stayed with the Cavs for 7 years and took them to the finals BY HIMSELF. And the team not once traded for another good player to play along side LeBron so he took his career in his own hands and went and try to get a ring. 2. He won with Miami then wanted to get a ring in his hometown back in Cleveland and did it. 3. Stays in Cleveland for his full 4 years then goes to LA. Lebron has finished ever contract he’s signed and has played AMAZING for every team he’s played for
What did y’all really expect the lakers to do for an aging LeBron in the twilight of his career, who’s more than likely just gonna leave this upcoming offseason to play with his son? On top of that what was really gonna make yall contenders from a squad that’s barely a play in team, with limited pieces to trade off, and also with a coach that not even the players seem to want?
Yeah, it’s not super likely they’ll make the Wcf again and even so, who cares when with lebron it’s win now and a WCF loss means nothing to him since it’s not a ring and he’s almost 40
They do have a championship lmao. But as you can see if you looked with your own eyes, you can see this team being bad is not Lebrons fault lmao, terrible coaching, terrible GM. Bad role players bro
@@thriftedclubsgolf I know Lebron can’t literally MAKE any player better. His teammates have to actually get in the gym and work on their game. I’m only speaking on the false narrative the media has been spewing since Lebron entered the league but then turn around and says he doesn’t have enough help when they hit a rough spot. An NBA season is full of ebbs and flows. I mean they did make the wcf last season and all season what did we hear: Lebron doesn’t have enough help. It’s the same song and dance every season. Why don’t they just let the season play out and see what happens. One or two injuries or an upset could totally change the outcome of a playoff(see ‘21-22 Warriors). It’s like they think his teams are supposed to go 82-0 or something. He has AD, D’Angelo Russell, and some talented guys around him. It’s not like he’s playing with the Detroit Pistons
We've made countless trades for this guy since he arrived. Championship winning teams generally DO NOT spend much time fidgeting with the roster because it negatively impacts continuity. We've made roster moves practically every year LeBron been in LA. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We can't keep giving away all our assets for a guy that's 39. He is not entitled a championship. We have to WORK for it and that's something we haven't consistently done since he arrived.
Keeping the same roster is the most ideal situation. WE NEED CHEMISTRY WHICH MEANS THESE PLAYERS NEED TO STAY AND PLAY TOGETHER. FUCK WHAT BRON WANTS. HE'S LEAVING SOONER RAYHER THAN LATER
@@713TankbusterNo he's right. It's way better to build chemistry with players over the years than shaking it up all the time. Just look at almost all chip teams of the past years. They barely did any moves. The Nuggets just waited for Murray and MPJ to get healthy and up their game and build chemistry as a team. If the Lakers just kept their first squad they won with I'm dead sure they'd still be in contention. Look at how good Kuzma has become.
@@SeeingShadows Of course. That's what happens to every team Lebron leaves behind. Has a squad trade all his assets so he can build superteams to win a minimal amount of chips with and then leaves and does the same at another team. As if we didnt see that Lebron playbook coming slow ass. At least we got one chip out of it, because that's already more than I expected knowing the trade capital the Lakers had left for the upcoming years after the Davis and Westbrook trade.
Im just thinking about how it’s gonna be after LBJ and AD’s era. We ain’t got draft picks and relaying on signing stars was even a struggle after Kobe retired, we just had to keep rebuilding and we did. Had a developing young cast that all got traded or let go once LBJ joined lol. We just really missed out on Jayson Tatum.
Said it once, will say it again. LeBron is facing an awkward scenario. Don't get me wrong, still profitable and all, but like a lot of older great things, as they age and have been around, the shine starts to dull a bit and influence wanes. In 2004, the Lamborghini Gallardo was quite the car. But in 2024, it's still great but not quite as exciting. The Lakers know this & are smart enough to grant him the dignity to see out the twilight of this time there. Sometimes players, no matter how great, don't see the writing on the wall... and struggle to pinpoint exactly WHEN to hang it up. And sometimes, it isn't because they can't play anymore. it's just because it's time to move into something else. That's one of the harshest things about professional sports.
@BlackPRanger You know something smart guy? It isn't just a sports thing. But since you're likely not a recruited professional at anything, maybe the concept is too foreign for you as you lack that experience yourself.
Best move is to wait till the off-season. Fire Darvin Ham IMMEDIATELY and get some solid role players. No point in going for broke mid season especially with a coach that is this inept.

People assume when magic johnson stepped down, that it was because he couldnt get along with Kobes Old Agent. Im starting to think it was bron who was interfering with his responsibilities as GM.
I could see an argument for that, but I actually believe Kobe was acting as a dark sith within the Lakers most inner circle. Kobe was guiding Jeannie Buss to fire Magic. Who was Pelinka's inside man to the Lakers organization in the first place? Remember how high of esteem Jeannie held Kobe's opinion? She even said, "I wish Kobe was here, he would know what to do". She held his opinion in very high esteem. Kobe was the king maker and puppeteer stringing along Jeannie and Rob to undermine Magic's incompetence. And guess what? He succeeded. Magic was dim and got exposed for being a blabber mouth who could not hold his tongue. Kobe and Pelinka forced him out using sith/mamba snake tactics.
The Bron slander in here is crazy, but what did I expect. I do agree, same with any other player, that he should make the moves that best fit the ultimate goal and that's championship prospects. If the Lakers core don't work, leave! I hope he does too imo, I don't see them winning a chip with their current squad. He already got one chip and the tournament. Time to go play somewhere else.
@@manz7860 it's progress and something new in the NBA. I for one hope they continue it. Will every subsequent tournament win count as nothing regardless who wins?.
I wonder why the squad isn’t championship level? Does it have something to do with lebron’s awful trade demands piling up. Surely not. The only way you can argue that this team’s predicament isn’t lebron’s fault is by arguing that the Lakers should have said no.
Lebron demanding the Lakers trader for Westbrook was the same mistake that KD made when he told Brooklyn to trade for Harden. KD and Kyrie were on a nasty squad before the Harden trade. I always felt like that team would've been more successful.
Before the Harden trade the Nets had deep chemistry with the original squad they had, had they stuck to it instead of listening to the media and Harden, and made small changes to the roster the could’ve won the championship. With the Lakers they went away from what made them successful in the 2019-2020 season all they had to do was bring everyone back and make small changes to the roster that improved their streaky shooting while keeping the playmaking/defensive identity they had but the season they got eliminated by the Suns they hit the panic but and trade for Westbrook which everyone and their mama saw was a bad trade before it was even announced.
Lets not give bron 100% of the credit on AD making us an actual contender. I know you lebron fans forgot, but lakers lebron were still a lottery team before AD got here.
@@manz7860 they weren’t a lottery team lmao but I agree they weren’t very good but there was a lot of injury’s that season . Without Lebron the lakers don’t win a title
I don't think they need a trade. They need darvin Ham to figure out what tf his lineups and rotations are. Here we are at all-star break, and he's still messing with his starting lineups. That's a clear sign of a coach who doesn't know his personnel.
@@garygnu8775 I guess they weren't happy and fluid when they blew the pelicans out, a much better team than the jazz btw, and every starter had 20 or more points and lebron had 14 assists. You're right. They looked miserable winning that game 🤦🏿♂️
Injuries have been what messed up the team. No team in NBA history is making noise when both of your star players get hurt like that '19 LeBron injuried '20 Chip '21 running through the league, LeBron misses 20 games straight, AD misses 30 straight. Toying with the suns, AD get's hurt. '22 (year they got westbrook) AD and LeBron misses 26 games, AD misses 42 '23 made a trade, made the WCF. then this year 54 games left, and they have a chance to make the playoffs again.
Mj never cried about not having enough help. How many superstar team mates do Lebron need to win? Also if Lebron care so much about winning why is he on a poison earning 47 mil a year eating up a lot of the Lakers cap space. If he wanted to win he would taken less money so the Lakers could sign a superstar free agent.
Yall just be saying whatever 😂😂 no way the Russ trade just ruined everything when we literally coulda traded AR, ‘29, and ‘23 instead of wasting the pick on JHS
If we had traded the pick or drafted JJJ, Podz, or Whitmore and also fired Ham, we’d be right in contention in the West. But yea, let’s just act like every dumb move we’ve made in the last couple years is all collateral damage of Lebron “forcing” them to get Russ 🙄🙄 Also Lebron fault that Russ was complete trash when he got here too
The best decision they made was keeping this team. Bc they have everything needed it’s just the team hasn’t been consistent. That’s all it is whether it’s the coaching or guys in and out because of injuries, it all circles back to inconsistency. U makes trades and then you get worse, lose team chemistry, and if you don’t make a good run? It’s a total loss. I’m glad they didn’t do anything because they would’ve panicked again and made a terrible trade like the Westbrook era. Why disrupts everything you guys did last year… makes no sense
to be fair in the years they had Russ, LeBron and AD missed a very very very significant amount of time. 1st yr LeBron missed 20 straight & AD missed 40 straight. 2nd year AD was literally out over 1/2 the season, he missed 42 games & LeBron missed 26.
My question is what has lbj done for the lakers. They lurch from mediocre to middling every season with the exception of the bubble ring, endless revolving door of coaches and drama.
They are the most talked about team, which means they sell tickets they are the most televised which means the most profit, and like the guy above me said, 1 championship. And a in season banner 🤣🤣
@DmadPs lakers average home attendance in 11/12 was 18997, attendance last year was 18613. Home Attendance is dropping yoy, in neglible amounts, the stats don't support your argument.
@@fyoutube9410 they have amazing ratings online lol, we live in a digital media, the whole league has less attendance no? Plus you can't compare 2 different eras, just compare with other teams lol
Jeannie needs to cut that shit out with the comfort hires. Magic, Luke walton, byron scott, the rambis family, kobes old agent. Just off the top of my head
Curry is out there thuggin it out, trying to make it to the playoffs! Meanwhile Lebron has AD but still throws subliminals and threatens to leave because he ain't winning 😂
LBJ’s time in LA is so odd lol. The fan base in LA is so split and he himself just doesn’t really exude that Lakers culture that has been upheld, but that’s what I think there.
T think it's just Kobe stans, those are the only people that have problem with him. They're just used to Kobe. I'm not sure what exuding the Lakers culture would look like tbh.
@@makesmartTROYces I don’t think it’s just Kobe stans and most of those stans are probably Lakers fans too, because of Kobe or they grew up in that era. Saying they’re used to Kobe doesn’t make sense respectfully. Ofc they’re used to Kobe, because a generation grew up on him, he held a standard for the time he played here, and did his part in exemplifying what it was to be a Laker. I’m a local, and a born and raised Lakers fan. I witnessed LBJ get booed on TV by some folks at a TGI Friday’s once here, and that would’ve never happened to other Lakers legends like Kobe/Magic/Shaq. LA loves the Lakers. It wasn’t even a Lakers game on the TV, but a HS Football game for Sierra Canyon, where LBJ Jr. attended and showed LBJ Sr. watching the HS Football game in the stands.
@@Spider-Complexion I try to differentiate the two. When I think "fan" I think of someone who doesn't try to dim his light in comparison to Kobe. When I think of stan I think someone who would say "Kobe woulda hit that shot, LeBron isn't clutch, LeBron isn't a real laker, I never wanted LeBron anyways" etc. I remember when Kobe died, LeBron made a post about Kobe on Instagram. The comments were flooded with people saying he sacrificed him. I saw some Laker and Kobe profile pics saying it too, those are stans to me.
I feel like the win against Boston messed up things. They overachieved without lebron and ad and the front office thought they could stick with their roster.
The team doesn’t need trades. He needed an experienced coach that’s capable of being consistent and not still making lineup changes close to the allstar
I love how lebron is averaging 25/7/7 on 51% shooting, plays around 34 mins a night, and has one of the lowest defensive field goal percentage’s in the league in year 21.but everyone is pretending like them losing is bc he’s washed and it’s only his fault
With this said I am not saying that he is of no fault with some of the moves and decisions. But for y’all to act like it’s all on him is laughable and nasty hate
it's because they're just Bron haters who don't watch the games nor look at stats. Bron is doing his thing. This is one of his better defensive years too. He's ofc had some really bad games, but he's also had some crazy games. People don't want to believe that a coach and the FO is at fault for this because it takes a little ciritcal thinking to realize that.

Imo the problem is people will see some teen on twitter make the worst basketball predictions ever and take it like it’s fact.
😂Wearing a Steph Curry shirt, while wearing a Grizzlies hat, while saying he’s a Lakers fan & doing a video talking about the Lakers.
Lol LOW is not a real Lakers fan. Dude just loves the NBA for it's drama and story lines.
They blew up that championship team themselves in a way that made no sense..
The Bron slander in here is crazy, but what did I expect. I do agree, same with any other player, that he should make the moves that best fit the ultimate goal and that's championship prospects. If the Lakers core don't work, leave! I hope he does too imo, I don't see them winning a chip with their current squad. He already got one chip and the tournament. Time to go play somewhere else.
Yall lebron fans really claiming the tournament
@@manz7860 it's progress and something new in the NBA. I for one hope they continue it. Will every subsequent tournament win count as nothing regardless who wins?.
@@FOWBOWZjust a shallow attempt by the nba to get more people to gamble on games.
Nobody asked for an xmas tourney.
@@manz7860 been that way, bro. It's the entertainment biz after all.
I wonder why the squad isn’t championship level? Does it have something to do with lebron’s awful trade demands piling up. Surely not. The only way you can argue that this team’s predicament isn’t lebron’s fault is by arguing that the Lakers should have said no.
True lakers fans can’t wait for Lebron to kick rocks!
Lebron demanding the Lakers trader for Westbrook was the same mistake that KD made when he told Brooklyn to trade for Harden. KD and Kyrie were on a nasty squad before the Harden trade. I always felt like that team would've been more successful.
Before the Harden trade the Nets had deep chemistry with the original squad they had, had they stuck to it instead of listening to the media and Harden, and made small changes to the roster the could’ve won the championship. With the Lakers they went away from what made them successful in the 2019-2020 season all they had to do was bring everyone back and make small changes to the roster that improved their streaky shooting while keeping the playmaking/defensive identity they had but the season they got eliminated by the Suns they hit the panic but and trade for Westbrook which everyone and their mama saw was a bad trade before it was even announced.
Let’s not blame Bron for the Russ trade without crediting him for the AD trade
Lets not give bron 100% of the credit on AD making us an actual contender.
I know you lebron fans forgot, but lakers lebron were still a lottery team before AD got here.
@@manz7860 they weren’t a lottery team lmao but I agree they weren’t very good but there was a lot of injury’s that season . Without Lebron the lakers don’t win a title
I don't think they need a trade. They need darvin Ham to figure out what tf his lineups and rotations are. Here we are at all-star break, and he's still messing with his starting lineups. That's a clear sign of a coach who doesn't know his personnel.
It's amazing how the team sings much more happy and fluid when LeBron is not playing
@@garygnu8775 I guess they weren't happy and fluid when they blew the pelicans out, a much better team than the jazz btw, and every starter had 20 or more points and lebron had 14 assists. You're right. They looked miserable winning that game 🤦🏿♂️
We had some decent to good defenders, and length on our wings, and they gave that up for Russ.
Lakers did nothing for his teammates by keeping him 😂😂😂
People don't wanna hold LeGM accountable for the decisions he makes, they blame everybody (russel westbrook, ad, coaches, etc.) but him
Injuries have been what messed up the team. No team in NBA history is making noise when both of your star players get hurt like that
'19 LeBron injuried
'20 Chip
'21 running through the league, LeBron misses 20 games straight, AD misses 30 straight. Toying with the suns, AD get's hurt.
'22 (year they got westbrook) AD and LeBron misses 26 games, AD misses 42
'23 made a trade, made the WCF. then this year 54 games left, and they have a chance to make the playoffs again.
Lebron ruins the young core of organisations, fair enough he wins a chip, but after he doesn't get what he wants afterwards, he dips@@makesmartTROYces
I love this dude .. reminds me of Pete Leg Pete
Mj never cried about not having enough help. How many superstar team mates do Lebron need to win? Also if Lebron care so much about winning why is he on a poison earning 47 mil a year eating up a lot of the Lakers cap space. If he wanted to win he would taken less money so the Lakers could sign a superstar free agent.
The billionaire signing a 47m dollar contract.
Bron is truly a shithead
The funniest thing is they already had Alex Caruso
Only move they needed to make was to get rid of Starvin Darvin green eggs and HAM
Lol nba fans think it’s like 2k where they can force trades 😭😭😭
Both LA and Lebron made this bed, so they might as well lie in it. Get comfy.
This video aged beautifully 😂
LeBron been said he’s gonna play with Bronny…whoever drafts his Bronny gets LeBron
Yup the Westbrook trade killed it, 2020 Lakers was the blueprint and Bron said nah fuck dat
It's all Over 😢
Yall just be saying whatever 😂😂 no way the Russ trade just ruined everything when we literally coulda traded AR, ‘29, and ‘23 instead of wasting the pick on JHS
If we had traded the pick or drafted JJJ, Podz, or Whitmore and also fired Ham, we’d be right in contention in the West. But yea, let’s just act like every dumb move we’ve made in the last couple years is all collateral damage of Lebron “forcing” them to get Russ 🙄🙄 Also Lebron fault that Russ was complete trash when he got here too
The best decision they made was keeping this team. Bc they have everything needed it’s just the team hasn’t been consistent. That’s all it is whether it’s the coaching or guys in and out because of injuries, it all circles back to inconsistency. U makes trades and then you get worse, lose team chemistry, and if you don’t make a good run? It’s a total loss. I’m glad they didn’t do anything because they would’ve panicked again and made a terrible trade like the Westbrook era. Why disrupts everything you guys did last year… makes no sense
to be fair in the years they had Russ, LeBron and AD missed a very very very significant amount of time.
1st yr LeBron missed 20 straight & AD missed 40 straight. 2nd year AD was literally out over 1/2 the season, he missed 42 games & LeBron missed 26.
As a nets fan im beyond happy spencer dinkleburg is off my team.
FOR LeBron! FOR LeBron?? Best thing they can do for the Lakers is waive LeBron
Would love to Low be a part of NBA organization💀
Low spent more time in a basement than on a court. Why would an org want that?
No lie. I didn’t expect buddy to beg for jobs in this video
They need to make a move to get him a bus ticket back to the " Land"...... LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My question is what has lbj done for the lakers. They lurch from mediocre to middling every season with the exception of the bubble ring, endless revolving door of coaches and drama.
Won them a championship…
They are the most talked about team, which means they sell tickets they are the most televised which means the most profit, and like the guy above me said, 1 championship.
And a in season banner 🤣🤣
@DmadPs lakers average home attendance in 11/12 was 18997, attendance last year was 18613. Home Attendance is dropping yoy, in neglible amounts, the stats don't support your argument.
Yall were bottom feeders b4 lebron
@@fyoutube9410 they have amazing ratings online lol, we live in a digital media, the whole league has less attendance no?
Plus you can't compare 2 different eras, just compare with other teams lol
Lakers need to start over completely from top to bottom, WHOLE ORGANIZATION 🤦🏽♂️
Jeannie needs to cut that shit out with the comfort hires.
Magic, Luke walton, byron scott, the rambis family, kobes old agent. Just off the top of my head
Grizzlies hat w curry sweater is crazzzy work Low
AD trade is what messed up the Lakers
Screw LeBron.
Lakers need to make moves for themselves.
Nah yea the bulls were in something 😂😂 apparently they wanted Kuminga in exchange for Caruso in some form 😅
Imagine Lebron & AD being healthy all year and then being a play in team lmao
Rob said LeBron likes the roster on his recent press conference he put Bron in the trick bag 😂😂😂😂
U right ppl clearly ain’t see the nuggets game. Couldn’t guard the perimeter and had zero outside shooting😅
Who takes the sticker off the hat isnt that like half of the design
so did the Lakers not make the conversation last year and was having wire to wire gains with the eventual champions I’m confused
The nuggets SWEEP wasnt close bruh. Stop.
They just showed us whos our daddy again a few days ago.
Somehow the suns & bucks can make small moves but the lakers can’t right
They can’t keep switching up the team every year for one dude……everything has been changing except one person Lebron
Question what about when the lakers didn’t want to sign Ty Lue as head coach when lebron wanted him when he came?
Curry is out there thuggin it out, trying to make it to the playoffs! Meanwhile Lebron has AD but still throws subliminals and threatens to leave because he ain't winning 😂
i mean hey, at least you're not a bulls fan!
LBJ’s time in LA is so odd lol. The fan base in LA is so split and he himself just doesn’t really exude that Lakers culture that has been upheld, but that’s what I think there.
T think it's just Kobe stans, those are the only people that have problem with him. They're just used to Kobe. I'm not sure what exuding the Lakers culture would look like tbh.
@@makesmartTROYces I don’t think it’s just Kobe stans and most of those stans are probably Lakers fans too, because of Kobe or they grew up in that era. Saying they’re used to Kobe doesn’t make sense respectfully. Ofc they’re used to Kobe, because a generation grew up on him, he held a standard for the time he played here, and did his part in exemplifying what it was to be a Laker.
I’m a local, and a born and raised Lakers fan. I witnessed LBJ get booed on TV by some folks at a TGI Friday’s once here, and that would’ve never happened to other Lakers legends like Kobe/Magic/Shaq. LA loves the Lakers. It wasn’t even a Lakers game on the TV, but a HS Football game for Sierra Canyon, where LBJ Jr. attended and showed LBJ Sr. watching the HS Football game in the stands.
@@Spider-Complexion I try to differentiate the two.
When I think "fan" I think of someone who doesn't try to dim his light in comparison to Kobe. When I think of stan I think someone who would say "Kobe woulda hit that shot, LeBron isn't clutch, LeBron isn't a real laker, I never wanted LeBron anyways" etc.
I remember when Kobe died, LeBron made a post about Kobe on Instagram. The comments were flooded with people saying he sacrificed him. I saw some Laker and Kobe profile pics saying it too, those are stans to me.
Lebron took the easy route every time.
That's why we don't love him like that in LA.
You kinda glanced over that the cavs managed to nab lebron two top 5 players at their position on that cleveland roster
Kyrie and Love.
I feel like the win against Boston messed up things. They overachieved without lebron and ad and the front office thought they could stick with their roster.
What’s best for the Lakers is the opposite of what’s best for Lebron😕
Since 2010 there has been 66 players traded when LeBron James is on the roster, AND STILL COUNTING!!!!
Why does LOW look like he got punched in the face in the thumbnail 😂
As a laker fan you cant mix a grizzly fitted with a curry shirt😭 ik you a real laker fan but damn wear ya team😂
The breakup is going to be spectacular and well documented
Lakers need a big rebounding center
They got Spencer that's a great pick up
The team doesn’t need trades. He needed an experienced coach that’s capable of being consistent and not still making lineup changes close to the allstar
I love how lebron is averaging 25/7/7 on 51% shooting, plays around 34 mins a night, and has one of the lowest defensive field goal percentage’s in the league in year 21.but everyone is pretending like them losing is bc he’s washed and it’s only his fault
With this said I am not saying that he is of no fault with some of the moves and decisions. But for y’all to act like it’s all on him is laughable and nasty hate
it's because they're just Bron haters who don't watch the games nor look at stats. Bron is doing his thing. This is one of his better defensive years too. He's ofc had some really bad games, but he's also had some crazy games. People don't want to believe that a coach and the FO is at fault for this because it takes a little ciritcal thinking to realize that.
🤣🤣🤣 No Help this time around. Magic and Kareem never screamed for help
Lakers were stacked in their era
Mj also never cried i need more help.
3:45 speaking of Alex Caruso, that would’ve been a guy we should’ve kept 🤦🏽♂️😭
W content grind twin
Hearing Low mention Julius in a positive light is weird
