AD gonna take his sweet time coming back just to prove a point to Rob.
Thinking the same thing! Now get me a center!!!
Get a big or a guard before I come beck !!!
@@brownmagik818 "Get a big AND a guard before I come back !!!" I corrected it for you good sir.
@@randylindberg5111did yall even watch the video?
You saw that to right 😅
A Legit Defensive Rebounding Center is our biggest need. If Rob is blind to this. He should give up his position.
He could just not believe with a move or two it’s enough to win and he might not be willing to give up assets for the future
Rob williams, But the problem is his health status.
Pay attention in class, he’s not “blind” to that, he is well aware of that need. The problem is is that the Lakers literally can’t afford that type of player. Just like money, trade able assets don’t grow on trees, and other GMs are not in the business of helping out the Lakers….despite what the average delusional fan thinks.
* Defensive Rebounder Center AND Rim Protector
Dwight for Pennie’s can def get boards
Myles Turner
For 30 mil? lol hell no. He ain’t even worth that contract
#Delusion
Myles doesn't help with rebounding
Hell no
Pacers are the 5 seed. Why would they nuke their season. Kessler was our only hope to get an asset that straddled timelines and fit the need.
Clown GM always gonna go the opposite 🤦♂️
Rob Pelinka… YOU HAVE ONE JOB! And then people wonder why LeBron has to be the GM: because he has to deal with people like Rob
LeBum James ruined Lakers when he wanted Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony and got rid of Caldwell Pope, Kyle Kuzma and Montrez Harrell and Lakers 33-49 missed playoffs 🤣🤡
LeBron James missed playoffs with 3 top 75 players all Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony and Anthony Davis add Dwight Howard 4 hall of fame teammates and Lakers 33-49 missed playoffs
@@AverySims-n1p lol ok BOT...or really annoying human being
@@TheKingbuttarIt's OK. When Lebron retires. They'll see how bad the Lakers really are without him😂
@@TheKingbuttar You got LeBron James beef n yo A ss so I don't care about how you feel about anything cry some more
Idk man. Your superstar big who never asks and pushes for anything is on TV talking to Shams publicly asking for a center saying he wants another big. This is the guy who's rn best player on team and the future post Lebron that you probably wanna build around.
Have lost two consecutive years in playoffs to Denver who are a big team and both times it was apparent for last 2 years in order to beat nuggets we need another legitimate big to back up AD/ play alongside AD in matchups like vs nuggets.
If Rob doesn't get another big then that's basically a slap in the face to AD and a slap in the face to this season and all the fans. It's blatantly obvious we need another center and when AD is literally on TV asking for one if you can't get one then your basically saying yeah we're not listening to you AD. Rob has to be fired if he fails to get us a center plain and simple. Also if AD is the guy we're gonna build around post Lebron which rn i assume so it's probably a good idea to keep him happy bc if I'm him my patience is starting to get thin.
to cut the story short lakers will not make a trade..
Exactly
We are SO tired of this
AD is going to get tired of this and just ask for a trade.
How you know Anthony Davis gonna ask for a trade you don't know basketball 🏀 so shut up
And if I'm Lakers I tell Anthony Davis I'm not trading you anywhere so do the job we paying you to do and we using you at Center
Problem with people like you would baby players like Anthony Davis
@AverySims-n1p sounds like you are the one that doesn't know basketball 😂 if AD asks for a trade the Lakers will trade him. They aren't gonna hold him against his will while they can get a bucket full of draft picks for AD
@@akaliotp6766 You got Anthony Davis beef n yo A ss and you don't know basketball if Lakers say we not trading you then they don't have to trade him 🤣🤡
If only we paid someone 5 million a year to navigate the ins and outs of the new CBA and get a deal done. Where o where could we find someone like that…..
HELL NO we don’t need another guard! Get a Center and trade your damn draft picks!
Yea we do no one can guard these elite guards
A center is more important so AD can go back to PF and isn't injury prone.
AD has barely missed any games this season and last season playing almost 100% at center
Anthony Davis been injured at Power Forward also so yeah try again with that false narratives 😂
You’d think they’d learn that 4 years ago
@@AverySims-n1pNot as much as he played center!
@@kaizoku8087
Actually Anthony Davis been hurt at Power Forward the same 🤡
If anyone is surprised when AD walks for nothing after LeBron retires then they’ve got to be as naive as a child. I’m going to take AD’s word in begging for a centre for the past 3 years over a reporter stating that it’s not that important to him…this organization continues to show how unserious they are and people keep accepting their excuses year in year out. What a joke.
@YungLanxx BIG, HUGE ASS FACTS!!!
Trev can we get a ideal trade deadline video ? I love when you do those kinds of videos
Wish they would give Quincy a shot. He’s better than Shake and Bronny for sure
Quincy is gone bruhh
@@ssrahi69they got him back pretty sure
Playing G League players you can say he good he never played
So they didn’t do the Myles Turner trade years ago now it’s costing them 🤦♂️ thanks Rob!
Ms. Buss vetoed that trade after Rob had it set up. You realize he’s an EMPLOYEE and can’t just unilaterally do what he wants right??? This isn’t 2k, what’s so difficult to understand about that?
@ Thanks Jeanie!
I swear to God if we trade for Jonas Valanciunas I'm walking out the door Rob, and I'm not coming back!
If we don’t?
Sign Dwight Howard or Javale Mcgee
Do you think they can or will be able to trade AD?
As like Trevor said, “If Pelinka doesn’t trade for a bruising big, it was a failure offseason.” Keep that same energy, don’t advocate for ANOTHER guard
Things change
Why do you Laker Fans turn yall back on yall Players and Live and die with every game like Darvin Ham said. He was correct. Let Austin Reaves have a 3 game bad stretch. Shid let it be 2, majority of yall would be saying TRADE HIM. Yall are the most Wishy-washy fan base in all of sports. I rhought 76ers was bad. They don't have anything on yall FANS. Ad was giving his all and got injured, and the majority of the fans started clowning him again. Where is the support?
Trade Trevor and pelinka for Kessler 😂
I concur 💯‼️
lakers are allergies on big man😂
Let’s make a lakers trade evaluation video to tell everybody the lakers can’t get any trades done
It's interesting that the 2 guys that are pushing for a trade were not willing to take less but wanted max contracts, there is not enough money to find quality pieces. They may be able to find something in the buyout market but that is about it.
lebron literally offered to take a pay cut and signed his deal after no moves were made. What you talking about? lol
@@jamarkusevans True, but only for players he wanted and he put them on a deadline. If He (Lebron) and AD took 10 million less we would definitely have more options without giving up Rui
@@jameskelley130The sad thing is that you are being serious. Yea, let’s ask people to give back 10 mil for someone else. You wouldn’t agree to do that and neither would anyone else with a brain.
@@keithhaywood3664 They both have recently signed those extensions within the past year or so. They could have negotiated it then before the contract was signed. It's too late now and no I would not give it back once I receive it.
The basketball player equivalent of Rob is basically someone who plays one game a season and calls that a day. Dude is on a permanent summer vacation.
trade pilinka🤣🤣
Nah, he too good to be traded….. fire his ass!!
He has a no trade clause
Yeaaah trade Pelinka😂😂😂😂😂
I’ll give you a tomato for him
Acting like Rob created this roster is hilarious. Trade Bron and retool
That's were I disagree, the Lakers need another big so that will unlock AD full potential. He keeps telling y'all he is at his best at the four
We had a playmaker in DLO - they should be prioritizing a center
There is only one trade that can change the Lakers situation, send Jenny Buss and Pelinka to space and bring in someone who loves the Lakers and understands basketball.
Facts
Ben Simmons on a buyout
Thanks for the " update " , Trevor...
It's wild that this channel hasn't hit million subs😮
Guard???? If we don’t go after another reliable big, then we should sell.
It seems that Trevor doesn’t understand that without another reliable big we don’t make out of the west. Minnesota showed us what it takes to get past Denver. Houston also looks like a team that’s going to require us to have a couple of reliable bigs on the floor.
Ehh. I mean, if AD can't play 40 min a game in the playoffs then we are already screwed. Back up big won't matter as much as upgrading starting guards. Take our chances on Zo, and we raise our ceiling. They not gonna get Turner who would start with AD. If we are being real we need Turner and Zo to have a chance at beating OKC
I agree with you on the fact that we don’t have a chance to make it out of the west without upgrading the at the Center position, but to say Trevor doesn’t understand that tells me that you haven’t really been listening to him. He said at the very start of the off season that if we didn’t get a big then the off season would be a failure. He definitely understands the importance of upgrading with a big, this video is just him reporting what was put out there, not giving his own opinions on whether the Lakers should pursue a guard or a big
@@TrePrincethese guys don’t want another guard because they love AR to much 😂..
@@TrePrincea guard doesn't raise no ceiling
@@wills.9422that is why we don't need a guard Minnesota miss KAT
I follow the heat as my 2nd team, k love is still a very solid rebounder, his 3pt shot is still effective and he’s a serviceable defender in the post
idk why people dont like jonas valanciunas. Watch what he does on a team with aspirations to be actually good, watch how he does on a good team. I would love to see him on the Lakers, way moreso than Jacob Poetl. They aren't even in the same category of player. Jonas has more in common with AD in terms of ability to score, which adds to his value as insurance against AD injuries. Genuinely shocked at the lack of interest from many lakers fans. Crazy. Im a Jazz fan who has thought many times about if we drafted him instead of Enes Kanter.
We should have kept Dinwiddie with the MLE instead of giving that spot to Bronny
Dinwiddie’s washed, man.
Bronny SHOULD have been a 2-way at most!
Dinwiddie would’ve stayed for a vet minimum. He was practicing at the lakers facility all summer. Bronny, JHS, and Maxwell Lewis took his spot on the roster.
Bronny made Lakers 50 million already just off jersey sales, it’s a business, sit down sir.
We didnt have an mle
Everybody: we need a center
Rob: i think we need a guard😂
Just ask Kareem and Shaq out of retirement. Problem solved.
trading Rui for Brogdon, only for him to be injured for the rest of the season would be a very Rob Pelinka trade
I thought this was a video from 3 years ago 😂 same problems
Lonzo is literally a perfect fit. We need a defensive PG. but we’d have to give up Rui. If Dalton gets a bigger role and only if Lonzo stayed healthy, I’d consider it. We are wasting Gabe Vincent, idk why that’s a thing. He might have to go too, if so then maybe we trade him for Steven Adams and just hope Shake Milton steps up or occasionally we just run a 9 man rotation cause then we wouldn’t have a solid backup point but Gabe hasn’t been that anyways. He doesn’t score like he did in Miami, average defender… nothing negative but not enough for a big impact, and then he doesn’t make others around him better passing wise.
Our lineup would be
Lonzo
Austin
LeBron
AD
Adams
Milton
Christie/Knecht
Finney-Smith
Vanderbilt
Hayes/Wood
We all know we need a good center and PG, that's the only way to move the needle! If we don't get both, I don't see us coming out of the west!
I honestly dont think Kevin Love is a bad choice. He can shoot, rebound, he's strong, and he has history with Lebron.
I like Jaxson too, but he isn't strong enough to start as a big and hes top inexperienced.
Stop bringing up bronny like he was the reason we lost. This team needs a guard that defend bigger guards and they need a big. You need both if not we will continue to see the same stuff
for the lakers to win a championship, they need a point gaurd and a big to give their two stars a rest and support.
If I'm giving two frps for Poeltl then I'm 100000% doing it for Myles!!!
Im not
Poetl is cheaper smarter investment
If I’m the lakers I’m calling Portland and getting Williams and Grant! That solves a lot of the lakers problems.
I agree it's time for Rob to get creative and make something impactful happen
Everybody blaming Rob as if teams will just give the Lakers what they need without trying to fleece them🤦🤷♂️
Rob rly gave AD : Koloko, Jemison & Hayes ROFL!
Rui is better than Poetl…
and why would you trade for Myles Turner. He isnt even worth 30 mil. We’d have to give up Rui and Gabe Vincent. That leaves us with only Shake Milton at PG and do we trust the staff enough to put dalton in a position to fully fill Rui’s offensive role? Idk.
Capella and walker not available. Missed out on Richards. Only way Pelinka can redeem himself is by getting Myles turner. I see indy keeping turner. So Pelinka needs to resign
I don't know why they aren't looking at Robert Williams. His energy could provide a lift.
Because he's hurt more than AD but I hear they are interested.
we need ayo and turner you can just work a 3 team deal with pacers and bulls
This isn't 2k with force trade. Lmao
You know this is real life and not a video game right??? Rob is well aware of the need…the Lakers literally can’t afford the prices out there. Are you proposing that they go and kidnap other players or something??? You can’t make other GMs just do what you want.
There is no cap for the trade
Turner from the Pacers is a perfect fit for now and later. He also wants to be a Laker.
Shake been struggling.... with what mins we are a gaurd and small forward heavy team
Wait am I bugging? Can’t we just waive jhs and then pickup like a markelle fultz from free agency on a cheap contract?
This will make us a second apron team just for a benchwarmer. Hell no.
@ wait how? We could get him on a minimum. Also he is an athletic Point of attack defending playmaker. Be perfect off our bench
@@InvestingwithCollumn I know it's irrelevant now after the AD trade but waiving a player will still keep that player's salary on the books. Add a minimum already exceeded the remaining gap between the 1st and 2nd tier apron for the Lakers.
The Lakers have not won a regular full season championship since Kobe in year 2010.
The only way I see to fix the problem is to get rid of lebron, and have Jeanie sell the team to a new owner.
Without LeBron they wouldn't b relevant. Lol since 2010 what has they done?
@@Chosen1777OriginalThese LeBron haters are delusional brother
I mentioned this in one of your videos that we should go after Poole but since fox is available should definitely be him if possible rather than a center we can get by a week or 2 with Hayes and koloko I think
Start a petition to get rid of Pelinka. I swear he’s sabotaging the Lakers on purpose
Myles Turner is our Mark Gasol- but 100 times better. WE NEED TURNER!!! I can't believe it's taken this long. If we have the assets to trade for him get it done.
lol dude saw AD went down and said let's prioritize guard over big.
Lakers can’t do anything, no one wants 70 percent of the lakers, it’s over.
If AD ask for a trade I wouldn't be mad... the man needs and want a BIG on the team so they can elevate the defense... some uncomfortable decisions may have to happen
I really dont understand why they dont consider Dwight. He is still better than Hayes and Koloko together. If he is in shape why not. He is not scoring asset anymore but definitely from defensive standpoint and rebounding he is an asset and can help.
We gotta stop taking AD for granted and just think any move we do he will be happy with it. The guy said he wants another big for years and it hasn’t happened now he says it publicly I feel this is AD giving rob a finally shot to actually hear him and not just cater to LeBrons needs
How is any of this "catering to Lebron"?
I say lets get a star guard and go sign D howard..
We just lost AD for possibly until the AS break, and we're talking about GUARDS?! Is this a parody episode?
What’s not a parody episode at this point? Lol
Bcuz center isn’t the issue… we literally lost to a team playing a PF at Center 😂.
We should ask Kings are they shopping Sabonis. Would love to have him.
This is really interesting, would work really well
No chance in hell. If they can’t afford 20mil Vuc from the Bulls. How on earth would they afford 40 mil for Sabonis not to mention he doesn’t play a lick of defense. Horrible fit and worse contract
Keep Ball n Love the hell off our team if we don’t get Turner n Sexton
Its funny cuz everytime trevor describes the lakers need at center, it sounds like hes talking about dwight howard. Lakers dont need a big name center, or to even give up draft capital because they are signing a back up center to play 15 min a night!! Which rhymes with Dwight haha
Why not just get the pieces we need? Do what we have to do so. We can be lakers nation strong
Reaves definitely needs help more than AD
Reaves need to go back to the 2 they need a real point guard and a big
Everyone knows this. They just want AR to be an all star. AD dominates 90% of the centers in the league 😂.. he gets hurt because of his high usage we have no other shot creators besides Bron/AR
AR, Dalton, Vando, DFS, and Lebron would be a good small ball lineup if Dalton is hitting his shots!
I'll wait for the last week of the trade deadline before making my conclusions on this matter. You did say about the Suns, but it can also be that that's the only move they gonna make. That's why we all should wait until the last week of the trade dealine when the the costs get low.
I don’t see Rob even making a trade period.
@@jsanfor21
Good
At this time, the lakers should try to get the players that they traded away - Lonzo, Zubac, Randle etc....
Randle is trash. We let him walk in free agency
They need to get Rob scary ass up out of here…. That dude screwing around with the rest of this season….. everybody else can go after any player they need except the lakers….., year after year Rob plays around with the roster…., he might as well use one of those picks and get the back up player we need….. stop BS’n and screwing around….. damn, that dude needs to go!!
I dont know how possible it is but I believe Lakers should try to get Klay
i think this is the lakers attempt at not getting fleeced, by trying to not look desperate.. sad part is that we needed a big for the past 4 seasons
2 first for Sexton and Walker I'd do it. They will fit nicely with AD even after Lebron leaves.
No one knows we go through this every year during this time. Same old stuff
Rob is confused
In life if you want to get better you gotta pay. It is what it is.
Your mission, Rob, should you decide to accept it, is to make the impossible happen, and do something creative like the Suns did. As always, should you or any other member of the front office get chewed out and blamed, the owner will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This thumb drive will self destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Rob! 🤣
Jeanie Buss not firing Rob Pelinka proof you don't know basketball so sit down and be quiet
LeBron James and Anthony Davis a WASHED up duo not good enough anymore to lead a team to championship losing two playoff series to Nuggets 4-0 and 4-1 over Lakers 2023 and 2024 playoffs
If I'm Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka I'm not making no trades at deadline
Jalen Hood Schafino, Christian Wood and Jared Vanderbilt can GO! We need a STRONG center to be in that paint!! Along with some shooters. I can't stress this anymore. Zach Levine and or Valecunas would be a great fit. IF the Lakers organization can afford it. C'mon Rob, make some moves and be creative as Trevor said!
If that happens AD is gone he will ask for a trade
The Lakers organization needs a major overhaul. Get rid of all the front office executive department personnel..
I don't blame him Pelinka is wasting Anthony Davis time this is going to show how much he really cares about 😢 the Lakers
Pelinka is not stupid, he knew when he traded DLO he would need another PG and a C and he will kill 2 birds with 1 stone by getting sexton and kessler mark my words
If I was Rob , I would try to get a 2025 unprotected 1 and a solid big
The Lakers should bribe a 3rd team to help facilitate a trade for Myles Turner. Staying put and doing nothing is out of the question.
One question if Lakers get Miles Turner via trade do they have enough cap space to resign him nxt season if he is looking for 30m a year? Or they are trading for him for 1 yr rental only?
they have lebron can take a paycut
lebron hws player option why lebron put player option cause he wil opt out again and try to recruit again this summer
If we strike out with everyone, do we try for Drew Eubanks or Drummond?
Why not contact Dwight Howard again ? He said he wants to return? Rob Pelinka fell asleep at the wheel it's looking like"😅
Pelinka ain't doing crap... Both AD & Bron need to request a trade!!! Unless they're getting Fox
If I'm Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka I tell LeBum James and Anthony Davis we ain't trading you anywhere y'all getting paid close to 50 million go play basketball
LeBum James and Anthony Davis wanted Russell Westbrook how did that turn out 33-49 missed playoffs got Frank Vogel fired
LeBum James and Anthony Davis washed up duo not good enough anymore to lead a team to championship lost two playoff series to Nuggets 4-0 and 4-1 over Lakers 2023 and 2024 playoffs got Darvin Ham fired
@@NostaIgia9478I’m so glad you’re not in office because that’s a horrible decision. Tearing down a 5th seed that is 2 moves away from title contention.
@@kaizoku8087 pls don't entertain folks who have no clue/idea about basketball
I swear If they get another guard bron and AD better just demand a trade. How for 3 years nobody is concerned about AD being the only big man on the team on multiple occasions
No way we go for Lonzo, no disrespect to him but we never should have drafted him & trading him has been a blessing to us.
If Lakers get Zo......ima be pleased af 😎
I don’t trust Rob to be creative tbh 16:49
