Idk what it is but for some reason the Lakers don’t seem to understand that we need two big 7-footers (or at least close to 7-footers). We greatly lack size. AD is meant to be a PF. When he plays center, he’s okay, but he’s not physical enough because that’s not his natural position nor body type. Like in 2020 when we won the championship, a Javale/Dwight combo at center would be HUGE for us. Also, I personally think that giving up on DLO would be a bad move. I think he’s super valuable compared to everything else on the free agent market, unless of course, a team really wants him and we can package him in a deal for an all-star.
AD is not MEANT to be a PF anymore because he cannot shoot from the perimeter anymore. You either need AD to shoot better or a 5 that can stretch the floor. AD worked with Dwight and McGee because he was an outside threat at that time. He isn’t that guy at all anymore…. You guys gotta understand that AD at PF also means Bron at the 3, when he plays 0 defense as is. lol I’m so tired of seeing this AD needs to be a PF, based on 5 years ago.
Agreed. Basketball is nowhere near as “positionless” as some annoyingly claim it to be. The Lakers need big men, rim protectors, rebounders & paint scorers to aid AD.
The Lakers need a true BIG MAN, no way around it. AD is great at defense, but lacks the size and stamina. Besides, its asking too much of him to guard the post for 48 mins and give 30 points every night, plus he has been very vocal that he prefers the 4 and not the 5, that matters too.
What has Reddick done to deserve every coaching vacancy. Send me the video. The stats. The proof. This is typical of that side of media pushing for their friend and likeness.
The Lakers should take notice that the Western Conference teams are getting younger and better talented. Something the Lakers should focus to help improve their rooster.
Priorities this offseason: 1- Find the right experienced HC (Atkinson, Lue, not a rookie one like JJ) 2- A big center capable of defending the rim and catching a lot a rebounds. 3- A point guard that impacts our game in both ends of the court. 4- Big 3 & D Wings If Pelinka doesn’t make the right decisions this time, his time in the franchise should be finalized.

Here is my take. Jeannie will pay Bron the max, get a coach that appeases him and improve the roster as much they possibly can under the cap. At this point, she's buying time because the Lakers will be profitable with Bron on deck BUT the franchise will be in Play-in purgatory. Looking at the 4 teams remaining in the playoffs, they are all YOUNG and extremely talented. Good luck overcoming them with a 40 year Bron.
It’s always easier to say shouldn’t have done this or that. But not running back that championship bubble team and culture was a mistake in my humble opinion. Vogel was solid enough. Our role players on that team made all the difference. Now we are scrambling and changing things too much every year for the last 4 times in a row.
The Lakers need to hire Micah Nori, David Adelman, Kenny Atkinson, Lloyd Pierce, Chris Quinn, or Charles Lee for head coach. JJ Redick & Rajon Rondo would be great assistant coaches.
Season might have been different if Vanderbilt and Christian woods were healthy. Also trying to force Dinwiddie and Gabe Vincent into the lineup hurt things. We did not get the same Gabe Vincent we saw in Miami last year.
Please no JJ for coaching job. No big deal if D’Lo goes bye bye. Lakers should focus on trading the Mash Medical Unit. Tired of seeing the players on the bench.
The Lakers need a defensive-minded rebounding center and a couple of 3&D two-way players on the perimeter and in the backcourt with size, toughness, and length. Defense must be prioritized.
I was listening to some clips discussing how Turkoglu would literally slap Reddick silly in practice with JJ never retaliating This concerns me. Seems like Reddick may be too nice of a guy and too passive to be an NBA head coach. Im afraid the players would walk all over him. A good coach needs to be a leader and a disciplinarian when neccesary
I think they are making a mistake because they are choosing based on name appeal. Could you hire a coach based on the need? For example, you need a defensive coach. Then get a defensive specialist coach. Don't hire an offense-oriented coach when you need to build defensively. Build your team to be a top defensive team. Hire an offense-oriented coach to be the assistant head coach. Then fill in the rest of your coaching staff with specialists...ie, player development, shooting, etc. I know, people are gonna ask where your scoring will come from. You have TWO superstars and a top 75 all-time list. Then not to mention the obvious...these are NBA professional players. You will have scoring. The Lakers did not lose because they couldn't score. They lost because they couldn't defend. Defense fuels the offense and supports winning. Team build. Well, they already have a template from the Lakers 2020 championship team. That's what a championship team looks like. They have length, Size, Athleticism, IQ, character, heart, and a dog. They have bench guys and locker room guys. They have cheerleaders and motivators on the bench. They have hustle guys and fire starters on the floor.
Having a deep roster sounds good in principle but if multiple starters dont show up in the playoffs (DLO and Rui), quality role players like Vando (to a lesser extend CWood) are injured and the coach DECIDES to not play Max Christie for a single minute in the playoffs, theres no point in relying on good rotation pieces over a good 3rd star.

Lakers need to go back to their original recipe!! They need bigs!! That’s how we’ve always won our championships!!!! This organization hasn’t been right since Phil, Kobe, and Mitch left.
Is there any previous Laker team mates that can be considered asa coach? Horry? Scott? Also is Phil Handy unable to be rehired I think he’d be great as a head coach!!!!!
Lakers need to find some defensive Dogs that can halfway shoot, and pickup a quality center instead of big game hunting. It seems like they should have learn that by now. This ain't Rocket Science.
I'm for Lauri because I'd love to play him and AD at the same time... you might not have a true bruiser center but having 2 elite PF/C style players would be great. On offense I imagine LBJ facilitating with Reaves/Dlo, Vanderbilt out there setting screens but mostly there for the defensive side of things, with AD and LM you could punch on people in so many different ways. On the defensive side you have a point of attack defender in JV, AR showed some significant strides on the defensive side of the ball, LBJ is LBJ, and with AD and LM out there how do you really switch hunt? Also you're gonna need someone this season to be redundant at AD's spot due to the Olympics (just sayin)... I just have a feeling he won't play as many games this season although I hope we get another healthy year. Plus it make it so that you could better stagger your AD minutes because you could always have that PF/C style player out there at all times lending to better continuity... the short fall will be at the true facilitating guard position and probably 3 point shooting, but who's that guy that fits that mold right now that is available? Unless, you're saying you want Trae (which I'm against). I think from a coaching perspective you'd need this team to focus on having the team make up for that lack of facilitating guard by everyone baring some of the load and associated accountability for turnovers. Rotation wise you need one of AR or LBJ on the court at all times, LM or AD on the court at all times then mix and match role players around them.
The whole start of the season we complained about not having a big man to help AD. So at the deadline we focus on a defensive guard strike out and end up with Spencer and no big man.🤷🏻♂️
pls no JJ, he didn't even put AD in his all defensive teams and we want him to coach this team? Beyond that I don't really care about which coach it'll be, I just hope he'll play Max and gives Castleton a chance to playmake next to AD/Lebron when the other is resting.
How does one show capacity? His commentary is terrible. Couple years ago he said Dwight needed to double team Tobias Harris while Embiid was leading the league in ppg. Not the kinda call I want my head coach making.
Lakers gotta get Andre Drummond man. We just need a legit center who can grab rebound and play ok defense to back up for AD. I think having Drummond and Wood as back up centers for AD will be good for us. I keep forgetting Drummond is 6"11. For some reason i always think hes much shorter than that
Is it possible to trade Dlo, Rui, jhs, 1st rounder for Trae young. Then Gabe, 1st rounder Jaxon Hayes, bunch of 2nd rounders, and like a cam reddish for Alex Caruso and Andre Drummond.
I think Atlanta wanted AR and 3 FRP's for Murray and they wanted no part of DLO. They will probably want more for Trae. Not worth giving up too much for either player.
What about Sam Cassell as a head coach??? He is new, but not new. He's been in the assistant coaching spot for some time. And beef up the assistant coaching with some other notables..
@@jerryren4076 look at the moves he has made. Why didn’t lakers keep KCP & Caruso? Caruso said he would have taken less money. Trading for Westbrook Trading Zubac to clippers for nothing. Starting the 23 season with the oldest roster in the league. What has he done to keep his job?
Never good to basically rebuild the core of a team starting w a new coach and then players bc DeLo, Rui, Dinwiddie or Gabe Vincent couldn’t buy a basket for most of the playoffs DeLo so streaky. We would rather have him give us a solid 10-14 points a night instead of 30 one night then 6
If y’all had kyrie we would be in the finals smh he not folding up like DLO and reeves could also have the ball in his hands a lot more and kyrie will just work off that his off ball game is just as good as his on ball game YOU KEEP REEVES WHO IS THE TWO WAY PLAYER AND GET RID OF DLO=FINALS
Head Coach : Tye Lu / Mark Jackson/ Atkinson Assistant Coach : Reddick / Rondo Development Coach : Phil Handy Center : Hertenstein / Claxton / Poeltl SG : Karuso / KCP SF / SG : Malik Monk / Markkanen If looking for 3rd star then Kyrie / Donovan ( Big no to Trae)
the number 1 player lakers should add to the squad is deandre hunter from hawks hes the perfect 3&d wing we need , i also wouldnt mind getting kcp back f a 3 star team we need depth
The biggest Lakers problem is Rob P. He's ultimately the one who passed on TY L. He was our best choice and the outcome would it been in a higher note! Lakers needs to rebuild from top down!.

Need star power in the west it’s non debatable. There’s no way you can go into this conference with guys like Luka Shai and Ant while you have a backcourt sorely lacking any athleticism and defense in Dlo and Reaves smh 🤦🏽♂️
In Mondays podcast, Trevor acknowledged that the Dlo/AR backcourt needs to be split up if both remain Lakers That means that one of them has to come off the bench, right????
@@cic-jakevanddalgeemyers.2739 are you stupid who the fuck can we get that's better? Lol trae? He's just like Dlo no defense. Like it or not Dlo is the best pg we can get rn
DLO is the best pg we can get. Name me one pg who we can get that's better. Don't give me Trae he's just a Dlo clone who's 20 million dollars more expensive.
Trae isn't as efficient of a shooter as DLo and he turns the ball over far more. Also, we'd have to give up too much to get him. Just say no way to Trae.
I think: 1. LeBron should Opt out 2. Use That Cap Space to sign another Star, Preferably Lavine (He’s great Off Ball Player) 3. Sign back LeBron over the Cap using his Bird Rights 4. Use the 3 tradeable Draft Picks that we have, to improve our Roster, preferably adding DEPTH, in MULTI 2 Way players! 5. Resign D’Lo too
I think what we need in a coach is someone with experience and is respected by the team. Then there's trust between the team and the coach. Is that Mark Jackson? Budenholzer? Maybe
Hell No They Should Have Kept Ham. They Played Lights Out Without Lebron. Go back and watch down the Stretch Last Year Into Games Without Him This Year. They where in all Nine Playoff Games Against Denver and Your King and His Side Kick Didn’t Finish That’s Not The Coach Fault.
Wayyyyyy too early Lakers offseason wishlist: - Hire Micah Nori, David Adelman, Chris Quinn, Mike Budenholzer, Kenny Atkinson OR JJ Reddick as the HC - Hire Rajon Rondo or JJ Reddick as an Assistant Coach - Sign Jonas Valancius, Andre Drummond OR Isiah Hartenstein to the MLE - Trade DLO, Reaves, Rui, JHS & Picks for Zach Lavine & Alex Caruso - Draft Bronny - Resign Taurean Prince, Spencer Dinwiddie & Max Christie
As a fan, I rather see the Lakers go young and get a coach that can develop them and max out their potential.The West is young and the best teams in the playoffs right now play TEAM DEFENSE, this includes their STARS. Lakers DIVAS ONLY play when they want and they exaggerate injuries, seems that they just dont care about the fans and are only about themselves. I am starting to believe if they sabotaged the nuggets series to prove a point (coach, trade requests) like they tried to when they both did not play vs the Celtics, that backfired though.
Oh yeah? So Bron and Ty Lue didn't win a chip together? When Bron wanted Ty Lue the Lakers didn't give it to him, plain and simple. Keep the hate out your heart.

How does one show capacity? His commentary is terrible. Couple years ago he said Dwight needed to double team Tobias Harris while Embiid was leading the league in ppg. Not the kinda call I want my head coach making.
Lakers gotta get Andre Drummond man. We just need a legit center who can grab rebound and play ok defense to back up for AD. I think having Drummond and Wood as back up centers for AD will be good for us. I keep forgetting Drummond is 6"11. For some reason i always think hes much shorter than that
No back up period move AD to the 4
@@mariogreenberry9868 then shooting would be shit
Ivey Stewart and Kuz those are deals you look at
i dunno about a center, but from what i saw, i think what the lakers need is a stretch 4 with actual size and that can rebound, and also a 3&D guard
I highly doubt that Utah would trade Markkanen - he's their best player.
The penguin has some good points
Trev, put your background as staples center 😅
the path FORWARD would be Jeannie Buss selling the team she screwed up. Anything else proves that the True Laker fans don't matter.
Trevor is seeing that this man is making a small case in favor of HAM hope Trevor is not denying what is being said
This Mark Medina is him! lol seriously he is very intelligent and speaks very well
Boring af.
We need need Pastor Mark Jackson ASAP!!!💯🙏🙏🙏🙏
Is it possible to trade Dlo, Rui, jhs, 1st rounder for Trae young. Then Gabe, 1st rounder Jaxon Hayes, bunch of 2nd rounders, and like a cam reddish for Alex Caruso and Andre Drummond.
No
I think Atlanta wanted AR and 3 FRP's for Murray and they wanted no part of DLO. They will probably want more for Trae. Not worth giving up too much for either player.
What about Sam Cassell as a head coach???
He is new, but not new. He's been in the assistant coaching spot for some time. And beef up the assistant coaching with some other notables..
I like it. He has experience
gollum would get eaten up by LEzesty ramone shames. stop it, get sum help.
He's paid his dues.
I think pelinka should be fired too.
Why?
@@jerryren4076 look at the moves he has made. Why didn’t lakers keep KCP & Caruso? Caruso said he would have taken less money. Trading for Westbrook Trading Zubac to clippers for nothing. Starting the 23 season with the oldest roster in the league. What has he done to keep his job?
Dnt trade anyone
Run it back man!!
If you go the star route I’d say try to get Lauri from Utah but if you go depth get a legit center and a legit 3-D guard/wing
Should just fully embrace a rebuild
Never good to basically rebuild the core of a team starting w a new coach and then players bc DeLo, Rui, Dinwiddie or Gabe Vincent couldn’t buy a basket for most of the playoffs
DeLo so streaky. We would rather have him give us a solid 10-14 points a night instead of 30 one night then 6
If y’all had kyrie we would be in the finals smh he not folding up like DLO and reeves could also have the ball in his hands a lot more and kyrie will just work off that his off ball game is just as good as his on ball game YOU KEEP REEVES WHO IS THE TWO WAY PLAYER AND GET RID OF DLO=FINALS
Head Coach : Tye Lu / Mark Jackson/ Atkinson
Assistant Coach : Reddick / Rondo
Development Coach : Phil Handy
Center : Hertenstein / Claxton / Poeltl
SG : Karuso / KCP
SF / SG : Malik Monk / Markkanen
If looking for 3rd star then
Kyrie / Donovan ( Big no to Trae)
The team will only Listen to an Experience Coach!!! No More Rookie Coaches!! 🤬
The #1 team in the West has a 1 star roster.
3 max contracts. So basically 3 stars. KAT can make the all star team any year. Gobert is DPOY/3X all star 😂
I think they mean okc thunder which is true.
@@wills.9422 Say again, who is the 1 seed?
No to inexperienced coaches for now...and put more money on the table to hire a good coach
the number 1 player lakers should add to the squad is deandre hunter from hawks hes the perfect 3&d wing we need , i also wouldnt mind getting kcp back f a 3 star team we need depth
The biggest Lakers problem is Rob P. He's ultimately the one who passed on TY L. He was our best choice and the outcome would it been in a higher note! Lakers needs to rebuild from top down!. No well qualified HC candidates out there anyway! So Lakers Nation be ready for another painful season (s) to come! Pouring this even when I know won't resound well!!! #Lakers4Life #MambaMentality #LakersNation #Lakers #Mambacita
Yeh, why are we paying Pelinka when LeBron is making all the personnel decisions? ftm, LeEGO could be the first player/coach/GM in history, if they drop this charade.
Facts rob doing aweful job with those drafts his just there bec of vanessa 😂😂😂😂😂
@@jameschan9634 Well LBJ don't have that power with G Buss. Has input power of course he does! Just like AD does! Or any super star has on any NBA team. Rob was the one who said no to TY L. Bron wanted him!!! That his boy!!! A for a good reason!!! Top 5 HC!!!! And now we're in this mess! And no real top 10 HC!!! As a real #Lakers fan doesn't seats right!!! Jeanie needs to stop caring about personal attachments with Rob! And take her buz skills to the next level and hired a #Lakers level GM!!! If she fixes that! She'll fix our #Lakers future! Go purple and Gold 💜💛
@@bashercleaner863 Yep!!! And you can not run a buz as a family affair!!! Just wrong!!! And we as #LakersNation are the one getting the worst of those bad decisions! Hopefully Jeanie can open her eyes and see the big picture! And stop managing by heart and start managing by buz - fan driven mentality skills!
@@muzungo200705 Believe what you want about LeEGO, but you're wrong.
Need star power in the west it’s non debatable. There’s no way you can go into this conference with guys like Luka Shai and Ant while you have a backcourt sorely lacking any athleticism and defense in Dlo and Reaves smh 🤦🏽♂️
All the best teams only have 2 stars and depth, we have our 2 stars we just need better complementary depth
@@user-ye9yt2mv2n what happens when the depth can’t rise to the occasion
@SilverBored20 we have assets to trade
@@user-ye9yt2mv2nceltics has 4 all star caliber players 😂.. timberwolves has 3 . Nuggets have 3. OKC is the probably the worst team left in the West.
Would not mind a Orlando trade with fultz and Carter jr
In Mondays podcast, Trevor acknowledged that the Dlo/AR backcourt needs to be split up if both remain Lakers
That means that one of them has to come off the bench, right????
D'lo sucks?
@@cic-jakevanddalgeemyers.2739 are you stupid who the fuck can we get that's better? Lol trae? He's just like Dlo no defense. Like it or not Dlo is the best pg we can get rn
Can't play them st the same time. No defense
@@deevideo2012 agreed
Chapters Please!!!
does bro know what a sign and trade means?
Hire Mark. Jackson as coach he put that Championship team together in Golden State 🏆
0 pts. Game 3 @ home
I thought he had on a face filter 😂
He looks like he got lipstick on 😂
DLO is the best pg we can get. Name me one pg who we can get that's better. Don't give me Trae he's just a Dlo clone who's 20 million dollars more expensive.
Trae isn't as efficient of a shooter as DLo and he turns the ball over far more. Also, we'd have to give up too much to get him. Just say no way to Trae.
Not if you want to go farther in the Play Offs where he disappears every time. Resign and trade.
I think: 1. LeBron should Opt out
2. Use That Cap Space to sign another Star, Preferably Lavine (He’s great Off Ball Player)
3. Sign back LeBron over the Cap using his Bird Rights
4. Use the 3 tradeable Draft Picks that we have, to improve our Roster, preferably adding DEPTH, in MULTI 2 Way players!
5. Resign D’Lo too
I think what we need in a coach is someone with experience and is respected by the team. Then there's trust between the team and the coach. Is that Mark Jackson? Budenholzer? Maybe
Ham got hired for Westbrook.
Ham got hired to help turn around a 33-49 team
Hell No They Should Have Kept Ham. They Played Lights Out Without Lebron. Go back and watch down the Stretch Last Year Into Games Without Him This Year. They where in all Nine Playoff Games Against Denver and Your King and His Side Kick Didn’t Finish That’s Not The Coach Fault.
Wayyyyyy too early Lakers offseason wishlist:
- Hire Micah Nori, David Adelman, Chris Quinn, Mike Budenholzer, Kenny Atkinson OR JJ Reddick as the HC
- Hire Rajon Rondo or JJ Reddick as an Assistant Coach
- Sign Jonas Valancius, Andre Drummond OR Isiah Hartenstein to the MLE
- Trade DLO, Reaves, Rui, JHS & Picks for Zach Lavine & Alex Caruso
- Draft Bronny
- Resign Taurean Prince, Spencer Dinwiddie & Max Christie
Zach Lavine, bruh stop
@@splashnskillz37 Lavine/Bron/AD trio would be crazy idk wtf u taking about lol
As a fan, I rather see the Lakers go young and get a coach that can develop them and max out their potential.The West is young and the best teams in the playoffs right now play TEAM DEFENSE, this includes their STARS. Lakers DIVAS ONLY play when they want and they exaggerate injuries, seems that they just dont care about the fans and are only about themselves. I am starting to believe if they sabotaged the nuggets series to prove a point (coach, trade requests) like they tried to when they both did not play vs the Celtics, that backfired though.
Make LeBron LA coach... nobody is good enough for this DIVA...
Oh yeah? So Bron and Ty Lue didn't win a chip together? When Bron wanted Ty Lue the Lakers didn't give it to him, plain and simple. Keep the hate out your heart.
Priority #2: off ball shooter eg buddy heild, bogdan bogdanovic, bojan bogdanovic
Philosophically 😂
