  • In Episode 18, I answer your Lakers questions in my latest mailbag.
    I discuss the best-case scenario with D'Angelo Russell this summer, if the Lakers can come back and beat the Denver Nuggets, the different offseason paths LA can take, if coming back to beat Denver and winning a fifth ring would make LeBron James the unanimous GOAT, if LeBron and Anthony Davis will have their jerseys retired in Los Angeles, and much more.
    If you want me to answer your question in a future mailbag, drop a comment below.

    Assuming Ham is fired... Hypothetical: 3 star route (meaning you'd have to gut the roster, including AR) OR Reload and improve role players - backup defensive center, PG etc?
    In either scenario, other than LeBron and AD, are there any player(s) who are mostly untouchable (as in, they would only be part of a deal if its a superstar, not a b-level star, and/or the perfect fit)

    Mailbag: Is Lakers going for Bronny? Do you think it would be a good idea for father & son to play for the same team? Sounds like a 'weird' chemistry in the locker room. I know my son & his friends are not comfortable when the father is around.

  • @wintime456
    @wintime456 Місяць тому +3

    If Lebron really wants to win another title, why doesn't he give up about $30 million of his contract and play next year for $20 million. That would leave an extra $30 million for another great player. He's already worth a billion so what's a measly $30 million to him.

    Shoulda traded Kuzma and 1 pick for miles turner. Keep kcp as a shooter. Light years better than Hachimura space cadet. We would have Lebron, AD, Turner, Reeves and KCP. Then off bench Gabe Vincent. That Kuzma kcp for Westbrook bombed the roster for 2 and half years. Even if we kept Kuzma and kcp, we only needed to tweak for a big man, go all in for OG, or a big forward/center.

    Lakers in Seven. The DeLo story not done. Where he goes at what value to be determined. Lebron is going to run him out of town for sure. This season is not on Russell. Russell, Reaves and Vincent was the plan. 32 minutes apiece. Would have worked. I think maybe you take Russell too serious. He clowned you a few times in the post-game interviews. I heard it.
    Next season DeLo gone. James back. Ham back. Yeah, Ham back. Need a third guard, not a star. Atlanta Murray for draft picks. Lakers don't need a third star. Lakers need the big Defensive center that rebounds.

    @19:34 Oh hell no 😂
    6-6 is WAY better than 6-0.
    Jordan only played 13 full seasons and LeBron being in the Finals nearly MJs entire career with the same amount of rings? That argument easily goes to LeBron.
    I get what you're saying, but that "6-0" would be the dumbest argument ever at that point (it kind of is already).
    Jordan is GOAT and LeBron is 2nd for me btw.
