Priority #1 : center
I think Drummond is a FA.
Priority #1 a coach
@@TPJ2ndGennear impossible to get him.
Bro he sucked when he was with us !!! Lmao are you new to being a lakers fan ??? Hes soft as a cupcake @NYGSZN
Dwight Howard sign for minimum
Medina: "Philosophically"
Trevor: "“You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means” 😂
Philosophically I feel like a better person watching this interaction
No Trey Young please!!😢
THANK YOU🙏🏽
Please NO❗️
Why no Trae Young?
@@No-More-Idolshe’s about 5 foot 2
No defense little ass overrated dude
@@No-More-Idols he doesn't play def and have to give up everything for him
The Lakers had injuries and never addressed the lack of a true big man.
Jackson Hayes is good for spot minutes but not a true quality backup for AD. I liked Woods before he got hurt as he could hit 3's and post up.
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.
Do not waste time on a Trae Young. Get some Caruso- KCP type guards and a center that works well with AD Star chasing is not the answer.......
Need to interview everyone.
Both Van Gundys, Bud, Marc Jackson, Phil Jackson 😅
So every coach over 55? Lol
@@hinjurock70 the ones with head coaching experience yeah. I didn’t say hire one, but they should interview them all
Phil would not coach Lebron cuz he is uncoachable and a coach killer.
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.
All set, ready for our coach for the next 2 years.
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.
He got a positive nod from Lebron. If they can’t find anyone else.
Mark Jackson
No JJ
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.
Isn’t it already obvious maybe u need to be the gm 😂
This guy is very philosophical 😅
😂😂
That Mark Medina's background is cool ha. lol
It's evident that Jeanie Bust, Rambis and Rob Pelinka don't know what the hell they're doing!
Exactly 💯
They can score but inconsistent scoring is a problem streaky shooting and missing wide open shots
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.
I agree. That bubble team and culture had such solid role players 🏆
@@caseybrightwelldifference between us & the twolves is that 2 of their bigs are elite 3point shooters. KAT shoots 40% & AD shoots 27%..
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.
@@DEEiBe they so delusional 😂.. just because AD loses the battle to like 3 or 4 bigs a year , he dominates the other 28 centers 😂
@@wills.9422 lol exactly! These people are wild
Trae young switched agency. Went from clutch to caa and is rumored to join spurs now
Good. We dont want him. Not worth what wed have to give up
It will be fun to watch him with Victor, Lakers should get a traditional C or center by committee.
CAA is Darvin's agency so....
That’s the best spot for Trae
That's great news.
Max Christie should be a starter
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.
Should have got rud of DLO before getting rid of Ham
You're not upgrading if you get rid of Russell.
They rather blame the coach, like dlo/ar is still stopping anybody 😂
@@wills.9422 Coach was part of the problem.
@@JonSmith-hk1bq Keep telling yourself that while the trash Lakers lost a 20pt lead & couldn't score a damn point for a 5+ minute stretch in game 2 vs Nuggets. 😑That has nothing to do with Ham.🙄 Lakers just trash.🤣
@@kaferrat Coach standing with his hands in his pockets while his team is struggling instead of taking timeouts to settle them, and then being unable to make adjustments is indeed on the coach.
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.
I rather keep the core and fill up the needs for continuity , run it back with a new coach (just add playoff ready big man and defensive guard)
Rather not 😂… a new coach doesn’t fix dlo/ar defense. Imagine Jaden mcdaniels /anthony edwards/ Nakiel pastering our weak guards. They would fold. We have to upgrade
@@wills.9422 yeah that’s why they need a defensive guard and a big man dlo can go if they can replace his floor spacing
Solving problem can create new one dlo just made 200+3pt that’s why if Ian going to 3 star lineup I go for Lauri for dlo
Great insight from Mark Medina about the coach search topic. Answered it really well with context and professionalism!
why is Phil Handy or Rondo not talked about more for the coaching gig?
Agreeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
because the person leaking the info doesn't want them
Phil doesn't want to be a head coach
@@percyhezekiah603 haven't heard that
@@liquidpulse1713 huh?
I can't believe there wasn't a Max Christie question
Mark Jackson will kick this guys asses
how did byron scott work out
Mark Jackson is no Byron Scott mark jackson is a winner
What has he done after Golden State?
@@Darvin-Hams-burner-account ummm he didn’t coach again not because he’s not good because he was blackballed
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.
Im glad the roster is still being focused on. Firing Ham doesn't fix this team.
Firing that idiot sure helped
@@joshellis5587Well said
But it improved the team.
Ham had to go
Pelinka should fire himself.
This guy is good he knows basketball
Who should be the Coach I hope not JJ Reddick he's an NBA analyst not a coach 😊
Some analyst played ball some coaches played ball tf u talking bout??🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾💯
The Lakers need a good center if they have any plans of competing in the Western Conference.
Murray smoked the Lakers in the clutch plus hit two game winners and Center should be the priority?
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.
DLO MUST GO!!!!
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.
D.fizdale/mark Jackson /Sam Cassell /Micah noir or Chris Quinn to name a few we should interview
I don't want a point who is a liability defensively. We need to be long and mobile.
Love your new setup Trev
Mark Medina = Great Guest!
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.
Definitely trade Lebron not worth fity millions.
My trade targets
Jeremi grant
Robert williams III
Thybulle
Caruso
Jarret Allen
Williams is always hurt. Pass.
Mark Jackson is the man
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.
Funny you mention everyone but Reeves, that’s all you new laker fans probably. Thinking other players are supposed to play at a higher level to keep his slow ssa on the court, this channel said he should play more! Lol what a joke. Dude plays No Defense and is not a scorer. Just a mascot, far as I can see, but he’s are starting 2 guard lol, he can’t compete with any starter in the league
Heres what people dont grasp
Having 3 stars IS a form of depth
I give Rui a pass offensively, since he was trying to defend Jokic.
@@jameschan9634he stop guarding jokic after game 2 and he still struggled offensively .. Plus defensively all he did was get lost chasing MPJ but yet everyone gives him a pass.
@@wills.9422 Rui was never a good defender he’s gotten better at 1on1 defense it’s his awareness and help defense that needs major work. Also offensively it looked like he was starting to come back had 15 pts in game 5 but it was too late for him to start making an impact offensively
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
Are you talking about rookie JJ? Lol there’s no way you can compare him in his first couple years in the league to who he is now
@@jonjonfunomenon Hope youre right
@@Marco_Lam lol
Ya, JJ had that glossy look in his eyes when discussing strategy during his podcast with LBJ. That look of "im desperate for your approval" look.
@@jimmyjames24 not a good sign
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.
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.
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 highly doubt that Utah would trade Markkanen - he's their best player.
Ivey Stewart and Kuz those are deals you look at
This Mark Medina is him! lol seriously he is very intelligent and speaks very well
Boring af.
Sure a new coach isn’t going to fix all of the problems but it is the first step in the process of improving the Lakers.
The penguin has some good points
We should get D. Murray from hawks before trae
In retrospect, giving up AR + FRP at the deadline would've been worth this imo.
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
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!!!!!
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.🤷🏻♂️
Trevor Lane is this guy would be an excellent team
Dnt trade anyone
Run it back man!!
Trev, put your background as staples center 😅
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.
If Jeannie supports Pelinka no matter what then the Lakers fans who wish for changes in the FO will be very disappointed. Change starts at the top.
We want Coach Mark Jackson!!! 😎👍
Trevor is seeing that this man is making a small case in favor of HAM hope Trevor is not denying what is being said
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
Chapters Please!!!
0 pts. Game 3 @ home
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
No to inexperienced coaches for now...and put more money on the table to hire a good coach
I thought that was deadpool on the thumbnail.
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.
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
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.
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
So in orher words "HE SHOULDN'T BEEN FIRED"
Philosophically 😂
the path FORWARD would be Jeannie Buss selling the team she screwed up. Anything else proves that the True Laker fans don't matter.
Priority #2: off ball shooter eg buddy heild, bogdan bogdanovic, bojan bogdanovic
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
Dlo don’t help the lakers. Get out of there. Praying for you AR 🙏
I really like either David Adelman lead assistant of nuggets or Micah Nori lead assistant coach of timberwolves. I think both would be great options. I like JJ Reddick and i would not be upset if they hired him his basketball IQ is crazy and the respect from Bron is there plus i think he would get in guys faces if they weren't following there role unlike Ham. I think Reddick could be a great head coach i think the biggest question/ downside is the no experience at all not even as an assistant so if you hire him you definitely wanna make sure he's got some former head coaches on that bench to help him such as a Mike Budenholzer
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?
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.
Coach - Center - Shooting guard demon
Trae would be great!! On the clippers.
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)
I say Byron Scott. That dude was so good at getting us good ping pong balls.
Go Mark Jackson as coach & Phil Handy as coaching staff.. Get Lauri Markkenen, Jake LaRavia, Alex Len & Dwight Howard..
Why Mark Jackson?
@@exxile9396 He has the capacity to coach this team & as he said he ready himself with this kind of moment..
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.
I thought he had on a face filter 😂
He looks like he got lipstick on 😂
The team will only Listen to an Experience Coach!!! No More Rookie Coaches!! 🤬
Will our new coach use 4 guards lineup and not let ad play the 4 ?
My minimum for a 4 guard lineup is 6'9" 215 lbs. and 20 to 30 years old. That is the size of Magic, are there 4 guys in the NBA today that are that size and playing one of the 2 guard spots?
@@maui0000 6’3 Gabe , 6’4 dinwiddie, 6’5 dlo, 6’5 reaves , and 6’10 Ad that’s the lineup that always cost other teams to score easily and grab rebounds easily
We need need Pastor Mark Jackson ASAP!!!💯🙏🙏🙏🙏
1:40 “Darvin ham got better”
🧐
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.
Think laker nation can use some music on the intro.
Yeah, there's a grand piano in the background!
It doesn't matter. We're going to be a average at best team for the next 2 years.
Who wants to keep a player whos historically trash during play offs 😅😂🤣 Now take off that Lakers jersey Dlo!!!
Would not mind a Orlando trade with fultz and Carter jr
Should just fully embrace a rebuild
does bro know what a sign and trade means?
Ham got hired for Westbrook.
Ham got hired to help turn around a 33-49 team
Dat I’m could of kept his job if he would ran the Triangle offense
