The Lakers SHOULD put together a package for LeBron to the Knicks or maybe Rockets then deal AD to Orlando or maybe Portland and if they can't package DLo in all the just send him anywhere that will give you a decent 1st rounder
We should get both Bol Bol and Wiseman. Both affordable, with tremendous upside. Plus, after the Lakers make some trades this summer, they will need some talent off the bench behind AD and LBJ, but they can also form the a new towering front-court when LBJ retires. Look, the way things are going now in the NBA, teams are starting to realize ‘small ball’ can work, but it can be punished, and that it’s just one of many ways to skin a cat; not some optimized style for the ‘modern NBA’ bullshit. When most of the league catches on, there is going to be a gold rush to grab these towers up, because it’s not like they aren’t skilled and completely raw. Hell, even Giannis was raw though, and look at him now. I would also like Isaac, but I don’t think the Magic will give him up, because they know his 2-way potential, which is why they have been patient for him to recover from his injuries the past couple of years. They are actually invested in him. The Pistons are not invested in Wiseman, and the Suns are not invested in Bol Bol.
caruso & stanley are the only 2 that should’ve stayed. they literally had money for caruso & let him walk, didn’t have money for monk, dwight was washed the 2022 season & drummond was bad he didn’t fit
Drummond wasn’t bad at all. They added him in the buy-out, which is a bit after the all-star game, so it’s late in the season, and now you have to get him caught up on all the schemes, and then there was no chemistry. Drummond and AD front court did well right before the playoffs, and against Phoenix, they were dominating, but then AD re-injured his groin, and LBJ couldn’t carry us without AD, and Drummond and the rest of the role players got scapegoated for it. Lakers still tried to resign Drummond, but offered him a vet min, and he thought that was an insult. The Lakers didn’t think he was a bad fit, they just didn’t want to put a lot of money in a center spot, because they planned to trade for another superstar, which we know would be Westbrook.
There’s only one big failure in here: Caruso. Drummond had a “low” year with the Lakers due to big expectations. Monk was offered the MLE but decided to sign with Kings.
We need to keep max c he has a lot of potential they need to just play him more. I would love to bring Lonnie back he always played so hard and has clutch moments. Wiseman is 50/50 for me I need to see his defensive ability.
He is young. Most players are drafted high for offensive potential, and have to be coached up on defense. Wiseman is offensively talented, but his defense is bad. His defense isn’t doomed to be bad forever, but now it’s time for a coach to do their job and instill defense into a growing player. If Wiseman was 30, and still playing trash defense, then I’d say give him a hard pass, but he’s super young. He’s just got to be coached is all. AD can make a good mentor for him.
The key important here is the coach that they will hire. No favorites. Because as we've seen with Ham, not playing Max when Max been playing quality minutes every time he played.
@@jourdanzero9312he’s decent but I don’t like his motor , too lazy and doesn’t seem committed. He would actually be the perfect fit along AD if he was serious.
When you draft young players in this day of distractions, you can’t expect them to be fully mature professionals at 20-25. Some are, but most aren’t. The Warriors weren’t really ever invested in him, because he never fit their scheme or immediate plans of contention. If he did, they would have worked through his immaturity until he matured, which is common for most teams. Look at Zion. Pelicans punished Zion for not being serious about his diet for 3 years, but they never just traded him. Wiseman is just as talented, but didn’t have people around him who were invested in his success as a Warrior. Then the Pistons are more invested in Duran, because he is a better player than Wiseman right now, but if Wiseman is coached up, he can be elite.
Don't want Reddish back to be honest..wish him well but he's not what we need. Wiseman would be a gamble worth taking on a minimum. Would LOVE Lonnie Walker back. We desperately needed that skillset this season. DLo could likely be gone. Could leave you with Austin, Gabe, Max as your main guards. Having a ball handling score first threat off the bench is needed with that combination of talent. Starting Austin and Max, Gabe and Lonnie off the bench gives good two way versatility for both line ups.
Agree that we should get Wiseman & Lonnie while get rid of Reddish Also think that Gabe needs to go. Never liked his signing.. he doesn’t move the needle an inch
Re-sign Christie, sign Walker, and preferably at least 3 of these following Centers: Wiseman, Goga Bitdaze, Mo Bamba or Jaxon Hayes. Lakers really need to prioritize big men for a change on there roster and 2nd priority should be aggressive scorers
He’s young man. How many 20-22 year olds are mature??? Look at the Pelicans and how they invested in Zion despite his immaturity. Dude got a prostitute pregnant, and had baby momma issues between his girl and this other woman all over social media to see, and wasn’t serious about his diet for 3 years, and they stuck with him, because they were invested. Warriors were not invested in Wiseman ever. They were not a bad team in need of a superstar. The Pelicans desperately need Zion to become a superstar. The Warriors already have Steph and other guys who can win chips. They only drafted Wiseman so they could trade him later, since he was the best prospect at their pick, and would in turn give them more capital in a trade. The same thing the 76ers did with Okafor, which killed his career in it’s infancy, and Okafor produced well in his rookie year, but stupid stigmas about him being weak on defense, and at best an Enes Kanterm which was had a long career in the NBA, caused many teams to see him as a bust, before he even did anything worthy of becoming a bust, and the negative media killed his career. The same thing Almost happened to Ayton, and it may happen to Wiseman if he doesn’t get on a team that is actually invested in developing his defense. Look at Jokic…he was a defensive liability too, and he’s still very slow footed, but because the Nuggets like his offense so much, they figured out a way to hide him defensively, and it payed off. Many superstars are not 2-way players, and have to be surrounded by good defenders, but you don’t see people using that as a reason to not build around them. I say this to go back to your main point about a motor, because when you are a young prospect who was drafted high in the lotto to be a superstar scorer in the league, coming in to GS to be a role player who has to focus on defense, because Steph and Klay are going to eat the lion’s share of shot attempts, will not exactly be fun and motivating. For a defensive minded player, that’s not an issue, but most young players aren’t defensive minded, and so it’s hard to get excited and motivated for that stuff. They just needed to get him more involved on offense, and work through his defensive growing pains, but he got injured, and also because the Warriors were focused on winning games, not developing, they couldn’t wait on Wiseman. Wiseman is still an elite prospect, and the team that recognizes this will be blessed. I hope some team invests in him before his career rots away due to unfair criticism for a young player.
I'd actually love to see KJ Martin with the Lakers. I've been watching him since he entered the NBA a couple seasons ago, and this guy I feel like is a potential hidden piece. A technical small ball 4, undersized but utilizes crazy ass hops and athleticism, decent perimeter scoring and way above average defender. On Houston he averaged 10/5/1 with 54.5% FG and 34% from 3 in his first 3 seasons in about 24.2MPG, which isnt bad for versatile small ball 4. He can be a matchup nightmare to guard in the pick and roll, easy explosive lob threat whether it's in the fastbreak, or the dunkers spot. This could be the Lakers counter to Aaron Gordon, seeing that they play similar roles, but I'd say Kj is a better defender. He's also not an injury prone player, which could be a huge plus. He's definitely a pretty effective rebounder, and has a 39 inch vertical, easy pick and roll scorer and capable interior defender, which I feel can help in the backcourt. When he was put in Philly, his numbers and minutes diminished extremely, which I thought was very detrimental for him because he was limited to showing his skills. Hopefully if the Lakers sign him, he'll get around 20-22 minutes, maybe sub 25. Also, Lakers should keep Cam Reddish because he's still a defensive minded perimeter presence that can hit big shots, while also being young and athletic, and a decent 3pt scorer, which is definitely something the Lakers need to keep in mind, especially since defensive consistency and pressure was a big issue during the season. Also, I wouldn't mind bringing back Lonnie Walker IV for the sheer fact that he was pretty good when he played in LA, and showed to be a reliable 3&D player that excels in transition offensively and defensively, while shooting around 37% from 3pt range that one season And I definitely remember the playoff game that he played against the Warriors; the "Lonnie Walker 15", where he dropped 15pts in the last quarter alone in Game 4 of the 2022-23 NBA WCSFs against the Golden State Warriors. If the LAL can get those 2 on a veteran minimum, as well as Andre Drummond, Dwight Howard, and another high level offensive minded guard, there can be no excuses to the LAL not making it to the NBA Finals.
I like most of what you said, but Lakers shouldn’t waste their time on common SGs. There are many players just like LW in the league, and Max C with more playtime will be just as good if not better after a year of consistent minutes.
I want Wiseman and I want to see him and AD line up I hope the lakers hire Micah Nori he comes form a winning franchise in Timberwolves who uses bigs with him we can move ad back to the 4
Lakers should look to resign dlo and trade him for Dejounte Murray, sign J Grant and a big man. Instead of grooming players for other teams each and every year
I almost killed myself seeing James Wiseman in the title.....even the pistons can't afford to give him major minutes... In all seriousness though, I don't hate all the choices.kj martin, Lonnie Walker, or maybe even bol bol wouldn't be too bad.
All these reclamation projects are a 1-year events. Most of them hardly play and or are traded in one season. We've heard this all before. Old guys eat up all the minutes, get their stats and hamper the young guy's growth.
What I don’t understand is why the FO even signed Cam considering they already were planning to develop Max. Both are raw, defensively capable wings but Max seems to be more capable in the 3-and-D role. Why then would the FO even decide to get Cam when Max is younger and does similar things, potentially wasting a roster spot (nothing on Cam btw, just asking)?
Love this! LEBRON….you got enough $$$$. If you’re REALLY CHASING TITLES-PROVE IT! Take less so we can get more 2 way players. Athletic ones too. You can’t train that stuff. AR - doesn’t have it. DLo can’t spell it. Albeit good players, they are….but they go AWOL from time to time, and athleticism is NOT IN THEIR VOCABULARY. LOSE Hayes. Lose JHS. That was a stupid pick anyway. Lose Cam. Lose Lewis. G league guys Lose. Bring back Dr. Phil Handyman! Rui open to trading. DLo open as well. Vincent deserves one more chance. Spencer too! ALWAYS liked his game. Not sure about Prince🤔. Ham screwed that up. Christie. Kid can play but needs MINUTES NEW COACH….HELLO. Bron resigns for 20M. Hey that’s like a huge lotto for most of the people in the world. He wants a 5th ring, Be like Nike and “JUST DO IT”. Finally in the draft the only guy I see worth taking if we need BIG BODIES: Zach Edey. Ain’t no one bigger than him. Put him up against, Jokic, Embiid, KAT, Webby, Drummond, Rudy G, Jonas V, anybody and Zach because of his shear size and talent can take them on. With the 17th pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers select; Zach Edey from Purdue University!!! He’ll cover the paint! Start practicing your 3 and dribbling moves AD, and bring back LONNIE WALKER IV!
Wiseman and Walker. Wise would help as another rebounding big and Walker would help with bench offensive production, only if it doesn't hamper Max's development.
Get wise he got the potential he big strong and athletic and he lebron workout trainer said wiseman got a good work ethic and he can shoot 3 and midrange and finish around the rim try to get wiseman and got the tools to defend
I believe they should go after James.W because... I believe he has un-tapped potential. Also, I believe they should go after Bol Bol... He's very talented... but lacks motivation! Who I think they should go after more than two players... are Mac McClung and Boogie Cousins!
My perfect off-season would be, get D-Lo to opt in & give him another year or package him with a 1st for Murray or another wing. trade Gabe & a 1st for Caruso. Sign Drummond & Bol Bol. Then make a move for Valanciunas through trade.
@@Lukadonicic sure I don't lol. What kind of moves do you think we could or should make given our limited cap space & assets in this dried up market. I mean unless your talking about trading Reaves, Rui & Vando were not landing any marquee players.
@@KIrvin_The_Scholar I agree with the ideas here and also that IF the Lakers are going to improve it will be through smart moves that can be done without movig Reaves, AD or LeBron. But for me at the end of the day it adds up to the same issue. You trying to get some meat on your sandwich but its going to cost you the bread and cheese to get it. The West is going to be a buzzsaw for the rest of 'Brons time in the NBA and there is talk of hiring Borrego as coach? I got a bad feeling about this...
@@I.am_Groot I hope that's not true with him handling coaching duties. I think if we can make some small moves around the margins we'll be okay. We were literally 3 missed free throws in games 2 & 5 from being up 3-2 against Denver & going back home to LA for a game 6. Without Vando, Reddish, Wood & a 1 armed AD. A few small tweaks & a solidified Center & I think we can beat anybody in a 7 game series if healthy
Fire the entire front office if they do this. None of our reclamation projects have worked even under a brilliant trainer like Phil Handy who isn’t even there anymore. The roster wasnt perfect but I’d keep Hayes who showed glimpses of promise, Ham was just Haming it up. We also have woods. Get a big bruiser Big man, we already have skilled and athletic bigs.
The Lakers always have to bargain shop because of lebrons ridiculous contracts, then mid season he complains about the talent 🤔 🤔 PAYCUT🤔🤔 *If winning is priority
If Zach Edes falls to the Lakers at 17, just draft him as your future center. Draft Analyst are downplaying him so he can fall to a certain team, but you have to be blind to think he’s not a future superstar. I wonder if all this talk about him being a 2nd round pick is going to cause him to not get picked in the lotto.
@@Eastra3 I like him but then I think we'll have too many bigs. In my dream scenario AD and Sengun would start and Bol and Wiseman would come off the bench. Bol is capable of playing 4/5. So Wiseman would have to be the one to not get picked up by us. In which case Edey is gonna have to be very good for us.
@JSM Kevin Porter Jr. You have an assignment. I have been writing and researching his execution for months. You should make a video of Kevin Porter Jr. how he is currently playing and if D'Angelo Russell is traded for a tall player like a center Porter Jr. can contribute with youth, defense, explosiveness and can score. That's something the Lakers don't have. He would be a proven and super economical player since we don't have much money 💰. He would be amazing.#ElNico
If Zach Edes falls to them in the draft, they need to draft him at all costs. I don’t know if the media downplay on Edes will actually work though. He should be a lotto pick, but somehow analyst think he’s a 2nd round prospect blows my mind.

bro i think maybe lakers can trade dlo to orlando magic for isaac jonathan. jonathan isaac can play pos4 alongside anthony davis and lebron
The Lakers SHOULD put together a package for LeBron to the Knicks or maybe Rockets then deal AD to Orlando or maybe Portland and if they can't package DLo in all the just send him anywhere that will give you a decent 1st rounder
We saw Lonnie Walker IV average 15 points per game and shoot 37.8 % for 3-pointers off 5.2 attempts as a Laker
WALKER!!!
Bol bol is the logical choice. Wemby and Joker make it so. A big with wing span and 3 ball
Bol Bol is my choice too and KCP or Melton at gaurd. Issac from Magic is good choice at power forward coming off bench.
We should get both Bol Bol and Wiseman. Both affordable, with tremendous upside. Plus, after the Lakers make some trades this summer, they will need some talent off the bench behind AD and LBJ, but they can also form the a new towering front-court when LBJ retires. Look, the way things are going now in the NBA, teams are starting to realize ‘small ball’ can work, but it can be punished, and that it’s just one of many ways to skin a cat; not some optimized style for the ‘modern NBA’ bullshit. When most of the league catches on, there is going to be a gold rush to grab these towers up, because it’s not like they aren’t skilled and completely raw. Hell, even Giannis was raw though, and look at him now.
I would also like Isaac, but I don’t think the Magic will give him up, because they know his 2-way potential, which is why they have been patient for him to recover from his injuries the past couple of years. They are actually invested in him. The Pistons are not invested in Wiseman, and the Suns are not invested in Bol Bol.
I'm in on James Wiseman.
We could’ve keep monk he’s a great Player and he wanted to stay
It was on Monk. He wanted more money. And lakers didn’t have much money to give him. They didn’t have bird rights on him
@@bottumthedreamer8735 they didn’t have much cuz they wanted someone that’s way ass than monk
@@Sportsfan-cm5up no. We literally didn’t have cap
do your research before saying stuff
@@Sportsfan-cm5up Not really
Still don’t understand why they let Caruso, Monk, Drummond, Dwight all those guys that helped us win…hell even Stanley Johnson was a good role player
AMEN. AMEN. AMEN.
caruso & stanley are the only 2 that should’ve stayed. they literally had money for caruso & let him walk, didn’t have money for monk, dwight was washed the 2022 season & drummond was bad he didn’t fit
Drummond wasn’t bad at all. They added him in the buy-out, which is a bit after the all-star game, so it’s late in the season, and now you have to get him caught up on all the schemes, and then there was no chemistry. Drummond and AD front court did well right before the playoffs, and against Phoenix, they were dominating, but then AD re-injured his groin, and LBJ couldn’t carry us without AD, and Drummond and the rest of the role players got scapegoated for it. Lakers still tried to resign Drummond, but offered him a vet min, and he thought that was an insult. The Lakers didn’t think he was a bad fit, they just didn’t want to put a lot of money in a center spot, because they planned to trade for another superstar, which we know would be Westbrook.
They didn't LET all those guys go some of them just didn't want to be there.
There’s only one big failure in here: Caruso. Drummond had a “low” year with the Lakers due to big expectations.
Monk was offered the MLE but decided to sign with Kings.

James Wiseman & Walker bring them back!!!
Deeeeefinitely Wiseman
I’ve been saying this for a bit now, Wiseman should be number 1 for bigs to sign

I like where your headed. Bol Bol, KJ Martin and Wiseman.
They need Bol Bol.

Yes but Wiseman is expensive, $12M.

Please bring Lonnie Walker back! He was so good for us!!!

Let's take a shot on Wiseman 1st biggest upside, Bol Bol next, and if not KJ Martin.
James Wiseman, Bol Bol, and Wembanyama are players that I want the Lakers to see go after.
Wiseman would be the direction to rebuild....AD needs 10 reb and 10pts from his backup...

Idk why they traded Loney Walker last season after he saved their GSW series by going crazy in that 3rd or 4th game(i think 3rd)
Lonnie yes.
Bol Bol is ready to be a star. The Nuggets and Twolves play very big lineups.
Nah.. Lakers mission is to develop future star to the other team by trade 😂😂
This is lakers new mission and vission, After Kobe Bryant Era...
Resign cam reddish and get wiseman to replace Jaxson Hayes
Bring back Stanley Johnson!
Bring back max christie lonie walker and malink monk caruso valancunias drummond with lakers
Get wise he got the potential he big strong and athletic and he lebron workout trainer said wiseman got a good work ethic and he can shoot 3 and midrange and finish around the rim try to get wiseman and got the tools to defend
I believe they should go after James.W because... I believe he has un-tapped potential. Also, I believe they should go after Bol Bol... He's very talented... but lacks motivation! Who I think they should go after more than two players... are Mac McClung and Boogie Cousins!
Bring Walker IV Back & Try to Sign Daniel Theis Flippers might not bring him back he does not get minutes during playoffs
I love these selections. I vote to bring back Lonnie Walker and take Weisman
The lakers need a center, from
The reclamation project, or
Peddle for one, from another
Team.
Wiseman for sure
My perfect off-season would be, get D-Lo to opt in & give him another year or package him with a 1st for Murray or another wing. trade Gabe & a 1st for Caruso. Sign Drummond & Bol Bol. Then make a move for Valanciunas through trade.
U don’t know ball
@@Lukadonicic sure I don't lol. What kind of moves do you think we could or should make given our limited cap space & assets in this dried up market. I mean unless your talking about trading Reaves, Rui & Vando were not landing any marquee players.
They wouldn’t even take those trades on 2k 😂
@@KIrvin_The_Scholar I agree with the ideas here and also that IF the Lakers are going to improve it will be through smart moves that can be done without movig Reaves, AD or LeBron. But for me at the end of the day it adds up to the same issue. You trying to get some meat on your sandwich but its going to cost you the bread and cheese to get it. The West is going to be a buzzsaw for the rest of 'Brons time in the NBA and there is talk of hiring Borrego as coach? I got a bad feeling about this...
@@I.am_Groot I hope that's not true with him handling coaching duties. I think if we can make some small moves around the margins we'll be okay. We were literally 3 missed free throws in games 2 & 5 from being up 3-2 against Denver & going back home to LA for a game 6. Without Vando, Reddish, Wood & a 1 armed AD. A few small tweaks & a solidified Center & I think we can beat anybody in a 7 game series if healthy
LeBron handicaps the team, build around AD and talent we already have, sign a great coach sign and trade LeBron 💯👍
Bring back "LONNIE SKYwalker IV" He's literally in my top 5 players currently in the NBA. He's clutch.
Lonnie Walker IV would be perfect for 5-Out Offense Delay Series
Been thinking of Kenyon since beginning of the year would love to pick him up
Fire the entire front office if they do this. None of our reclamation projects have worked even under a brilliant trainer like Phil Handy who isn’t even there anymore. The roster wasnt perfect but I’d keep Hayes who showed glimpses of promise, Ham was just Haming it up. We also have woods. Get a big bruiser Big man, we already have skilled and athletic bigs.
Some of those reclamation projects have worked, but we don’t have money for them, so they just go sign with another team.
I’d trade the 17th pick and either wood or Hayes for wiseman
Get rid of Jaxson Hayes get BOL BOL
Bol Bol
James Wiseman & Lonnie Walker easily
Lonnie yes. Wiseman? Bol? No
What do they need Walker for? They already have guards. They need 7 footers. Wiseman or Bol Bol.
Lonnie Walker is a common SG. There are many of him in the League. I’d rather give Max C more minutes.
LONNIE
Wiseman or Bolbol!
Both
Time to rebuild, sogn and trade LBJ and trade AD. We could have at least 6 1st round picks and some players.
Harris Paul Garcia Timothy Martin Jose
can you do your ideal offseason or ideal offseason if DLo walks
I think Lakers should try to get Lauri Markkanen
We need players that play Defense!!!!!!
Trade DeAngeZero Points.
bring back Stanley Johnson and Dwight Howard..
The Lakers always have to bargain shop because of lebrons ridiculous contracts, then mid season he complains about the talent 🤔 🤔 PAYCUT🤔🤔
*If winning is priority
Trade for Sengun. Sign Bol Bol.... If Haynes leaves sign Wiseman. With AD, I feel he'll learn. Haynes took steps forward with him
That would be a dream but who would the rockets take for sengun??? He’s a really good player
Sengun??? 😂 😂 😂 Better be willing to give up AD.
@@someguy9981 that’s what I’m saying 😂
If Zach Edes falls to the Lakers at 17, just draft him as your future center. Draft Analyst are downplaying him so he can fall to a certain team, but you have to be blind to think he’s not a future superstar. I wonder if all this talk about him being a 2nd round pick is going to cause him to not get picked in the lotto.
@@Eastra3 I like him but then I think we'll have too many bigs. In my dream scenario AD and Sengun would start and Bol and Wiseman would come off the bench. Bol is capable of playing 4/5. So Wiseman would have to be the one to not get picked up by us. In which case Edey is gonna have to be very good for us.
can we just give lonie that russel role? i mean he fits it
Lakers need to get Davis some real help.
Yeah, ummmm. They fired Phil Handy.
For the love of God sign Bol Bol ASAP
@JSM Kevin Porter Jr. You have an assignment. I have been writing and researching his execution for months. You should make a video of Kevin Porter Jr. how he is currently playing and if D'Angelo Russell is traded for a tall player like a center Porter Jr. can contribute with youth, defense, explosiveness and can score. That's something the Lakers don't have. He would be a proven and super economical player since we don't have much money 💰. He would be amazing.#ElNico
Porter is not playing in the NBA again
But it can come back again.
If NO takes this year's Laker pick, then I hope Lebron opts out.
Bring lonnis walker back. He better than Dinwiddie and Gabe Vincent combined
I say bol bol
Fine, I guess I'll take Paul George on a Mid-Level. Lol
Anderson Cynthia Hall Linda Martinez Dorothy
Can't they get Zach Edes, Mcgee, Valanciunas 🤔
If Zach Edes falls to them in the draft, they need to draft him at all costs. I don’t know if the media downplay on Edes will actually work though. He should be a lotto pick, but somehow analyst think he’s a 2nd round prospect blows my mind.
Lakers has no pick in the first round. hoping he's still available by the Lakers' turn.
KJ Martin
wiseman project player
Bol Bol please
No offense but you sounded normal in your early videos but now you've gone full robot voice. I don't get it.
Goga should be the only center the lakers target all these other centers trash
7:50 cute, buddy thinks the lakers is a good team lol
Aww man we are doomed if these the options
def not Cam reddish, dude is so bad . Sign Wiseman and Lonnie walker to a vet min
How is has been committed defensively a con
Lol bol bol is trash bro. Nic claxton and isaiah hartenstein is the best pick for us.
Knicks aren’t trading Hartenstien. They might actually trade Mitchell Robinson, because he can never stay healthy.
James Wiseman is cheeks
Bol, Wiseman n Walker
