I would be willing to bet my left testicle That someone other than the lakers is going to get Walker Kessler.
lol thats a wild bet
Ball to the wall
I would put both on the line if I was you
So you want kessler. A big that shoots 60% from the free throw line and will become unplayable in crutch time. Pelinka must be getting his advice from lakers nation morons
Don't cripple yourself, bro.
Walker Kessler for a 1st Rd pick - Yes please
Dlo is too hard to replace which is why I don’t want to trade him, especially for a forward because we won’t have a point guard anymore. And no I don’t like Austin at point, he turns the ball over too much
AR and Dlo both average 2.1 turnovers last season
Idgas if he can "stetch the floor"
Give me rebounding
Should have taken an athletic center like Ware that can rebound and score. Kessler rebounds defends the rim ok but does little on offense....has no bag.
Facts! www.youtube.com/@HOOPLA_TV
@@baggingup40 he was right there. Instead we got a shooter that can't shoot
Getting rid of Dlo is just dumb at this point
Yes and no. DLO is the best PG the team has but he's useless during the Play Offs.
People act like it's addition by subtraction but it's not even close. How do you replace 18 and 6 with low turnover ratio and 42% from 3 on 7 attempts? I get he has holes in his game but he's not that easy to replace. Yes Minnesota got better but they replaced him with Conley we have nobody.
Keep d lo and bench home majority of the playoffs, why not 🤷🏽♂️
@@fattony9227make Lebron play point in the playoffs.. then make DLo a spot up shooter in the corner. simple coaching adjustment.
@@fattony9227 "DLO is the best PG the team has....." 🤔😑 Maybe compared to the rest of the trash PG's they have...but that's still not saying much. 🤣
Guys stop with the JHS and Gabe Vincent trades! Who TF wants those guys???
😂😂😂😂😂 understandable, but hey you know what they say , “another man’s trash is another’s man’s treasure” 😭😂😂😂
😂😂😂
@@milliondolla_sse4764sometimes trash is just trash tho
it was said the same about kendrick nunn, and we got rui out of it
@@milliondolla_sse4764 we would have to give up 2nd round picks to offload those guys.
Why would you trade all your point guards?!?!?
cuz we have too many of them.
We have one of them. And then we got a project that is apparently not working out in JHS.
PG: D'Lo / JHS
SG: Absolutely nobody / AR / DK
SF: Absolutely nobody / Vanderbilt can't play SF on offense / honestly? Blake Hinston / Max Christie (project) / Can Reddish / Maxpoor Lewis
PF: (AD) sry bro LBJ wants this / LBJ / Rui / Vanderbilt / Wood / Castelton / Hayes
C: AD / Hayes / Wood
Lakers Nation: Get rid of D'Lo and get us a center that will never get on the court. Dorian Finney Smith as well maybe?
What a joke. 😂
How in the world can you look at this and determine that having too many PGs is one of the roster problems?
Imagine you were a GM. You are given AD and LeBron. LeBron wants to play PF. You got 48 minutes to fill at PG, SG and SF and maybe 15 at PF and 12 at C.
Would you get yourself 5-6 power forwards and 2 centers and scour the market for more centers or would you get a starting PG, starting shooting guard and starting small forward of the 3&D variant like everyone with a brain should want to do?
This show is so laughably bad at talking about what players make sense for the roster. 😂
@@peteranders7106Thank you for saying this...why keep trying to get rid of your third best player? DLO has his warts, but take him away...the Lakers don't even qualify for the playoffs. This is why Laker "fans" are the most goofy mf's around. Great comment....
@@peteranders7106need athletic guard that can play defense and a decent back up center that can grab rebounds and score. thats it
I get Kessler but What’s the point of trading Dlo for a forward? Now we don’t have an above average pg?
DLo is not an above average PG lol. Go check who are the starting PG’s in the NBA. The west alone DLo doesn’t make the top 10!!
They keep tryna force austin reaves as a star bro 😂… he’s not that good
DLO is a decent PG but sucks during the Play Offs. AR is a back up guard at best.
@@wills.9422 Austin is not a star but in crunch time he’s better than DLo. And he outplayed his contract by a lot every year.
@@truckerstar24 i agree he’s good for sure but not lead guard good 😂, well at-least its not proven. He’s looks better than dlo because defenses strategize for dlo. Not Austin. Austin is always guarded by the weakest defender on every team.
Why keep Rui but get Cam Johnson while sacrificing all the PGs? The heck…. Put Rui in if you want to add in new wings or we will have a further logjam at the 3-4.
Yeah, that would be dumb. Also, Rui is just as good as Johnson, so what would be the benefit of that trade?
@@dmitryowensthey think Cam will lock down way more than Rui lol
I love that trade idea. Kessler, Cam, Tyus...
I feel for Trevor and LakersNation. It has been so uneventful this offseason and yet they have to put bread on the table! Inevitably we end up with fantasy topics.
31:00 was a crazy moment, both minds went into that labyrinth and had the same reaction. Good Pod guys, hopefully they do something.
DLo and a first for Wendell Carter and Markelle Fultz. I'd do a first for Kessler though, but keep DLo if we're not getting a good PG in return, and there aren't any available who're better than DLo. No on trading for Cam Johnson - he's no better than Rui and he's 2 years older. I'd only trade Rui for Brandon Ingram.
Here's a fact for you people
If the Lakers had very spending average last year and giving up second Chance point and scoring second Chance points, they were probably a 60 win team
What they need is rebounding folks
These Laker fans is the worse. Yall outhere just wanting to make a trade. But not get no better. Smh i could never be a part of a fan base this loopy. I hate that Bron came here.
You and the rest of the bandwagon fanboys can follow him out the door in a couple of years!
Facts lebron could have won more chips if he went to a well run team. Settled for business and money.
@@fattony9227we will look for you when they are back in the lottery, garbage ass “laker fan”
Lakers aren’t making trades. 😢
Can someone explain why people are high on Cam Johnson and DFS over Rui? Stats are similar including defensive rating. What stat am I missing? He's cheaper than Cam and similar to Finney (1-3 million).
Gabe gonna be great this year let him be healthy
Shawn is just a kid. Good work & ethics, but he hasn't been around long enogh to really know some of this stuff. JS
Im somewhat with Scorpio. But I go further. My theory has been that LeBron was actually ONLY going to take the 20 mil pay cut for Klay. Original reports were he would give them a week, up to the start of Summer League, which was Saturday July 6. News broke that he agreed to a new contract EARLY Wednesday. That is 3 to 4 days less than initial reports. Klay to Mavs news was just 1.5 days prior. ALL other reported targets to take the cut was just smoke. The after reporting says Bron called Klay to recruit. There were zero other reports of him calling the other supposed targets.
Well he verbally said that he was hoping they landed klay, demar or Jonas. So I’m pretty sure he was completely willing to do it for the other two as well
Kessler vs Khalil Ware which one would you take?
Lol kthe thumbnail of sky is badass 😂🤣
It wasn't so much the lack of scoring off the bench that hurt us (although it did)
It was all the second Chance points we gave up as a bench unit every damn time. Anthony Davis left the floor.
I don't think lakers are not going to make a trade I think this is our team going forward
Tyus JONES is pretty damn good!!!
Better than DLO, make the trade
I swear, Sean, you think Max is the next coming of Tracy McGrady. Sheesh he is alright but damn 😂
I don’t want Kuz back, I don’t think he fits attitude of team first. feels like he is too emotional
TREVOR I HONESTLY THINK U SHOULD TRY TO GET IN CONTACT WITH JJ REDDICK OR ROB AND TELL THEM JAZZ WANTS ONE FIRST FOR KESSLER YOU HAVE THE CLOUT TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN!
Yup!!! Either Trevor or Jovan. Clearly there’s a disconnect with Lakers front office.
You do know other teams also need bigs and Lakers have to outbid other teams. Multiple teams have a 1st, but LA deal falls flat when you look at the players involved versus other teams.
@donsportstv1532 really,this guy don't have any clout gtfoh
You guys would really seriously be on the phone to give up two 1st round picks, leaving the Lakers with zero draft capital for the next five years, for a couple of guys coming off the bench? And the two of them looked pretty happy about it too!
This is crazy. Embrace that the Lakers will run it back next year. The trade market is way too expensive.
Giving up that much depth for an Ingram who can't stay even stay on the floor, on a team where theres already injury concerns with AD Bron and Vando....holy moly
It’s not about championships anymore. It’s about money. Lakers care about entertainment now. We live in a new world. How much can we create drama? How often can we get people to click on the lakers videos on social media & how much can we sell Lebron & Bronny jerseys? This is similar to fake wrestling. It’s about views, not championships. Grown men need to accept that you’re being entertained and keep coming back. You’re being punked into thinking this stuff matters 😅 It’s like the news these days. It’s just about the “best story” and that’s what the lakers are doing. How much can we get people to talk about us? It’s like a soap Opera for men 😂
Tell us how you really feel.
It's all about going to watch the Laker Girls now. 😜
Has Reddick said anything about Christian Wood? Curious if he thinks he has potential in his scheme.
How are they not wanting clarkson….
D-Lo, Christie
Reaves, Clarkson
Rui, Vando
LBJ, Wood
Ad, Kessler
How are you not rolling with this squad? You have size, defense and shooting all over.
The lineup is good tbh. Maybe they just need a new coaching staffs to fully utilize their potential. Imagine if ham choose rui over tprince to play on the starting lineup.
SHOCKINGLY NOTHING WILL HAPPEN!!!!
Y y’all keep advertising nothing that ain’t gone happen lakers ain’t doing nothing at all and they wont
Huh?
Good to see Trevor and the gang
Listen if ROB doesn’t make a trade soon, assemble a search and rescue team for El Segundo, CA.
The first thing you have to figure out is why do the Lakers have to ask a player to help them out of a situation the FO created? No other teams are doing that.????
Made me move channels is crazy haha
I won’t be surprised if Rob pulls off another big trade or at least multiple trades like when we got rid of Westbrook.
Would Walker Kessler start? I would love to have him, but we'd need a 3 and D guard to start alongside AR, Lebron, AD, and Walker Kessler. Say what you want about AR but we'd need him to spread the floor and hence why we'd need a 3 and D guard to start with him. Maybe Doug Christie but is he ready? I hope he is but that's not guaranteed. But that being said, I'm still taking Walker Kessler.
Too good to be true? Don't trust it. Something must be wrong if Ainge is trading Kessler for 1 pick. Bad knees? Pending off the court issues? What's the catch?
LAKERS WAS NOT BAD TEAM LAST YEAR I REPEAT NOT A BAD TEAM! Kessler gives the lakers everything they need as long as Gabe doesn’t miss 80 games again
I'm beginning to think it's not a Lakers tax..its a Rob tax.
Cam over Kuz 11 times outta 10 for THIS team
What's holding back Rob?
Any one else not have audio?
just you fam
Glad you guys are finally telling the truth about our #17 pick the last two years. They're both very good "College" players. But average NBA defense makes these dudes look horrible. Knecth's shot is slow.
GET WALKER KESSSLERRR FOR A FIRST IDCCCC
Scorpio bagging on Knecht after 2 summer league games. He's getting to his spots, the shots just haven't fallen yet. The entire offense looks disorganized and that's on the coaches
Nothing to look forward to this upcoming season.. There still isn’t a coaching staff and they’ve completely wiffed signing ANYBODY to the team…
Can't still believe Lakers gave away Zubac to the clippers..
Kessler for JHS and a 1st round ??? GET IT DONE NOW, Hell throw in Cam Reddish to free a roster spot. Also Sign Dinwiddie for Vet Min but let him ACTUALLY play not what the Scam did before. An absolute offensive guard who can assist and score took all of it out to be a defender....
I watched walker kessler have 5 blocks last night worth that first round pick
Cam Johnson is not that good man. The problem with this fanbase is that everyone overhypes average players. Gabe Vincent is mid, Rui is mid and Reaves is mid.
Our team has no continuity because we keep blowing up teams trying to chase big names. I say just run it back at this point because no trade is going to make this team a championship squad at this point.
Vanderbilt missed like 40 games, Vincent 70, rui was constantly in and out cam reddish was starting to get a rhythm then he got hurt I think if lakers can train the young Guys better lakers would be fine! Jaxon Hayes has all the tools too be great just needs to be coached up n gain some weight
At the beginning of last year I said this team wins through D Lo he is the 3rd star. Austin can only be the nail in the coffin. Injuries would be the next issue. Most people would agree with me now.
Surprisingly it wasn’t LBJ or AD injuries. The injured Role players needed to role play. Regardless this team must play flawlessly with what they have. Unlikely but realistically a deep run can happen.
More videos to come?
I think trading DLO is a good choice, because he choke in the playoff and mid in regular season. I think get kessler and Ingram is very good, Lakers need a center so AD can attack more.
Who will play PG for us then?
@@dmitryowensGabe Vincent defensive player
@dossdeadmon3288
He's not a good PG - he's more like an inefficient-shooting undersized SG.
I believe those issues may be managed by a good coach.
The trades are so bad because not enough consideration is given to the other team and their wants/needs
WOULD THE LAKERS PLAY
KESSLER 23+ MINUTES A GAME, IF NO, THEN WHY BOTHER, THATS WHAT HE'S GETTING WITH THE JAZZ.
YOU HAVE AD AND HAYES AT CENTER
Get something done center is what we need and a 3 point shooter. Khnet need to develop his game more.
Didn’t want derozen want jarami grant would change our defense and space floor also Kessler for the defense is fine but need more than that dlo off bench would actually work as 6th man and if we can’t trade for Kd or booker or something like that then I’ll take some cam Johnson type players
Yes get Walker Kessler..
Do it!
From the list Val was the absolute best for THIS team
And I strongly suspect he was the player. The Lakers pursued the least
Yay another episode of Trevor Pelinka!!!
Kel el ware was right there. Instead we got a shooter that cant shoot
Steven Adams perfect fit only 12M in salary. Houston has a lot of bigs too
The bias daily is OD. Kuz is also better the cam Johnson he also a better fit.
Fire Rob Pelinka! 🔥👎🏼 Lakers Have 3 firsts, Trade: Vincent, Rui, Dlo, Reddish, Hayes, Lewis, Hood Schifino, or Wood for a Big! 💜✌💛
Why does Utah want to get rid of Kessler? Random.
I think they keep him
Cuz they know its a dumb team out there willing to give a 1st round pick for a role player who hasnt proven anything lol
Max Christie starting is good?????
Sounds like 2006 lakers roster
Kessler and Sexton and we in business 🔥🔥🔥
WK could be an Andrew Bynum type of C
so we ruuning back the roster lmaio
they never learn that they cant pass against denver on playoffs as long as we dont have a reliable big we got beaten on rebounds
Yall keep trying to trade dlo and Gabe and not getting no ball handlers in return I’m not confident in having reaves the main PG for this team he can handle the ball but I don’t think he’s a number 1 PG type of player so that’s gonna leave the duties to reaves and bron and that’s not ideal
Gabe sucks as a PG - he's more of an undersized SG who can't shoot.
@@dmitryowens what I’m saying is those are our 2 PGs if we trade them we only have one in reaves and I don’t think he’s a primary ball handler type of player to do it all game
@@Alostaylo
I don't either, but neither is Gabe. And I don't think we should trade DLo unless we get a PG who's as good or better and there are none available.
@@dmitryowens and that’s the point I’m tryna make it’s not worth to trade dlo if we not getting better all around
U see how they tryna force austin reaves as the star 😂
Doesn't count for the Lakers. I bet Danny asks for 2 firsts only for him to go to the Blazers or some random team for one pick.
Coming up with these trade ideas makes no sense because Rob pelinka is not apart of the podcast
Lakers need to become a title contender is Lauri Markkanen
Kessler and grant would really move the needle and id like our chances... Cam.johnson doesnt really do it for me??? I.mean the dude is not that much better than rui at all and again trading dlo ur only decent pg for a wing and saying okay austin is our #1 ball handler noe is the dumbest thing anyone could do n u guys keep pushing
Why don't the Lakers get Kai Sotto 7'3 much cheaper 2 way contract
The Lakers' "brain" trust of Pelinka, Jeannie Buss, and the Wild Rambi traded away half of the 2020 Championship roster.
Next video post I pray is an actual deal that got done lol….trent jr, Ingram, grant, a solid big….get something done that makes sense!
Why cant we just send the rest of 27 and a second or 2
Please stop with this Tyus jones undersized PG stuff. Let’s roll with D-Lo at point and then the rest of our guards being bigger guards like when we had KCP and D.Green, Bron is not an off ball shooter so we gotta stop with this defensive player stuff and getting a 5. All that does is push Bron to the 3 where he’s slower for the position and isn’t a knockdown shooter
I'm sick of the fantasy scenarios that never come to fruition
Isn't LA where fantasies are made? 🤔😜
The lakers appears desperate for a trade. Be careful who give up for these unnamed players
WHAT ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO DO WITH TRAY YOUNG 😠 What has The ATL done with um.
It was different when he was new on a young team that was no threat. Now opposing know his limited ass now, some of his limitations being if his choosing .
You complain about how the junior Lakers look like w/o an established pg and you propose getting rid of our top two on the Big Team!! You guys are maddening!!
KD will never take a mid level exception
Y'all whine about not keeping team together no chemistry and Whine when they not making trades or picking up anybody.Calm down😊
Rob already has his targets that's what worries me . He's so stuck on his targets that easy deals just go over his head
i'd give them jhs and 2 rounders . if Ad goes down we're screwed yet again . kessler is a must and should be priority numb 1
if i'm the lakers i'm giving utah dlo , wood and JHS and a 1st for kessler and sexton
After that i'm giving the Nets vincent , reddish and a 1st for DFS . Go get gary trent jr in FA and your starting 5 could be
starting 5 : reaves, GTJ, DFS, bron and Ad
bench sexton , christy , kneckt , rui and kessler
you still have vando ,rui and the 1st rounder
starting reaves and having sexton on the bench is wild.
Yeah... they already had Kuzma. THey won rings. but gwan and pick Cam instead.
They trade Dlo and Gabe every day for players who not as good. Cam Johnson is no Dlo Collin sexton ain’t either. Which one of those players had a playoff performance like Gabe in Miami? Please stop trading them respectfully
Who? Kessler is not helping the Lakers, we are downgrading!
lakers need to sign someone now
or trade
The lakers aren’t getting anyone, try again in February
Lakers aren't getting Walker Kessler, I know you need content but Pelinka has generally been incompetent.
The Lakers need to trade for Kuzma and get Tristan Vukceviv thrown in. Or, trade for Zach Lavine and get pieces/picks thrown in. But, we aren't getting anything ideal. We aren't getting good options. Pelinka just isn't good at this
We are down tremendously when you start talking yourself into a Jordan Clarkson, aka the Blackhole, reunion. Also wishing that Scottie Pippen Jr was still on the team? Yikes! Scottie had more than enough opportunities in the past Summer Leagues and G-League appearances. Lights were too bright. Truly a low point for Laker fans right now. Dudes out here doing fantasy trades to keep hope alive LMAO!
I get the copium, but none of these trades and signings makes zero sense for the other team and the players. Why would Danny Ainge accept that Lakers’ deal over what any other team could offer? Why would Tyus Jones accept that deal for a team that honestly isn’t impressive at all outside of AD and sometimes LeBron. Truth is this team is flawed because they aren’t built around their best player AD. They rely too much on LBJ, they overvalue their role players like Reaves, and they throw away good team building to chase stars. It’s actually wild how LA and the Knicks both had that mentality and the team that abandoned it is in a very good position to contend. As long as they cater to LBJ they are cooked. It’s time to go young whether you keep AD or not. I respect this channel for its hard work, content, and dedication to the Lakers consistently, but I do think at times you’re selling unwarranted hope when you think of other teams in the league and what they can offer over LA.
