now fans think max who is not a forward will put up 20 points at that position lol. sometimes it seems like fans on here don't watch the games and just want to say everybody on the lakers is great.
He was a starter for half the season averaging 30 min a night and couldn’t even hit double digit scoring. He literally averaged ONE made three per game even though three point shooting was supposed to be the one thing he was good at offensively. Oh and he was a -1.5 on the court. Mind u all of this is just his regular season numbers, it got much worse in the playoffs.
@adh2298 I agree he never should have been a starter, but as a bench player he was the only one giving any kind of production off the bench and he did shoot 40% from 3. Our bench production hurt us severely last season, so we better hope Gabe finally shows up, Max finally develops and Knecht lives up to his potential otherwise things won't be looking too bright
Didn't we trade kuz and one 1st away? Now we are going to possibly bring him back for two 1st? We trade dg and 1st away for ds and 1 yr rental. Lakers are giving picks away and wanting former players back.

@@winstonsmith11 vando plays defense but he gets totally ignored on defense. Thats y prince was so important. Rui plays good offense but gets lost on defense. We are filled with one way players.
Taurean Prince was the most durable wing the Lakers had last year on their rotation- Vanderbilt was injured often and couldn’t shoot, Rui was injured often too and couldn’t defend. Meanwhile, Cam Reddish is not consistent and is also injury prone. This sucks- i was hoping they would bring him back at least.
@@eccentricaste3232 you are right , he defended Jokic well and Rui typically holds his own against burly wings and bigs, but to play him next to LeBron, the Lakers need him to be able to defend quicker guards and wings too, which Rui hasn’t been doing well.
Looking further into it I think once Klay Thompson turned them down the Lakers immediately moved into their backup plan. They're trying to only compete for championships and they didn't feel any of the deals were enough to get them over the hump and didn't see Valanciunas would get them over the hump either. Starting next year (25-26) w/ the new TV deals the Salary Cap is expected to take a big jump (10%). Lebron showed a willingness to take a pay-cut but I believe they told him to make his money this season and be willing to take an even bigger cut next season with the increased salary cap. Look for the Lakers to NOT take on more long term salary this season which means NO Jerami Grant or Cam Johnson. Watch out for names like Bruce Brown Jr, Dorian Finney Smith and Dennis Schroder w/ D'Lo and other long-term salaries going out (Vincent/Rui/Vanderbilt).

@@WaterThaBush Nobody looks their best when they barely get minutes and are then suddenly are thrown into a game. On the bright side, the Lakers average 87 shots per game and LBJ, A.D., Reaves, D-Lo, Rui eat first. With so few shots left -- they should focus on Defense! If they allow him playing time, the Lakers have a 7 foot shot blocker, rebounder, and scorer in Castleton in his 2nd season. They have Max Christie now in his 3rd season ... and Dalton could be productive this season. And, Maxwell Lewis has the same height, wingspan, and max vertical as Prince -- the coaching staff just needs to develop him and all of these younger players. Playing time helps to create experience, chemistry, habits, and confidence.

For the first time since 1991 I will NOT be watching the Lakers but will be rooting for the red white and blue Clippers! LBJ JB KR Thanks for everything!!!
Max's big contract showed TP where he stands in Laker land. Easy call from TP's perspective. TP probably thinks he's the better player and I don't blame him for that. Guess we're betting on a big jump from Max. Max looked great in summer league last yr but don't recall much during the season.
I'm tempted to ignore JJ entirely and pretend Nate McMillan is our head coach. Probably a good idea because the odds of JJ resigning for one reason or another in the first two seasons is fairly high.

Why do you keep saying Lakers don't have roster spots?? They don't need to trim the team down until the start of the season. If Lakers wanted him, he wanted to be in LA, and he had a clear important role on the team, they could have signed him.
Listen i like Taurean but the reality of the situation was we don't have the room for him literally. Between not having a roster spot #1 and #2 there is no rotation minutes for him. Christie and Knecht are going to get rotation mins. Vando/ Gabe who both missed majority of season will be getting rotation minutes. DLO, Reaves, Rui , Bron, AD will obviously be gstting mins. That's 9 spots. it's gonna be a big getting that final spot either Hayes/ Wood or some other big via trade/ min contract off bench. So there was no mins for him in this rotation. Wish him the best on Bucks but I'm not losing any sleep over losing someone that would have been on bench whole time.
The first move they need to make is to trade Christian Wood's 3m into another team's space. Unfortunately, this move may require attaching a second round pick. This simple move gets them 1m under the apron and they can get to work.
I think Lakers are in a decent spot. Provided most of the team is healthy for the season, I think Max Christie and Connect4 will also contribute to the team
Just get an impactful Big &/or wing...you can use any/all of AR, Gabe, Cam, JHS, pick(s). Would keep Dlo for his 3 point shooting/playmaking (connects well with AD), Rui for offense & Vando for D. Knecht & Christie can nicely fill the remaining void. Knecht will surprise with his underrated athleticism/upside compared to what AR can muster. Hopefully Bronny grows his wings under his dad's...
And he is still your best and most consistent player…… y’alll ungrateful fans. Lakers was a shithole, lottery pick and an irrelevant team until Bron came

Typical LA BS. We are doomed with Rob
Sorry to see Taurean go...He's a really good role player ...Hope he thrives in Milwaukee
I wonder if Reddick wanted those coaches hired - they could both potentially outcoach him
For the first time since 1991 I will NOT be watching the Lakers but will be rooting for the red white and blue Clippers! LBJ JB KR Thanks for everything!!!
Lakers always do the same thing that hapeen to KCP and Caruso ,Kuzma etc. Wow Lakers don't have nothing for the championship 🏆.
Strange move!!! Prince was better than the majority of the roster
Darvin ham is with Milwaukee it makes sense
@@aldrickandrion2650 maybe Milwaukee needs 3&D wings and he’s one.
At this point, the Lakers are competing for next season is ticket sales 🤦
Celebrities and fans need to stop buying tickets. That would light a fire under Jeanie's ass. 🍑🔥
Max's big contract showed TP where he stands in Laker land. Easy call from TP's perspective. TP probably thinks he's the better player and I don't blame him for that. Guess we're betting on a big jump from Max. Max looked great in summer league last yr but don't recall much during the season.
We definitely need to make that trade!! normally I’m hopeful, but this process has got me doubtful. So hopefully they get something done soon.
I love the assistant coaching move..when not if but when the fire reddick at the all-star break they can appoint one of them interim head coach
Jj said we need 2 way players and we let go a 2 way player....
He was excellent in his role
Great job Rob.
Wow instead of making moves to improve the roster. The Lakers are struggling to find ways to keep the ship afloat……
We lost the most consistent player off the bench, I can’t Rmbr a worst offseason than this current summer.
All of a sudden Prince was a complete player with no flaws
lol I remember before last season started all I heard was “Rob is a genius “
Trade D Lo and Rui for Kuzma??? I can't think of a dumber trade.
I'm tempted to ignore JJ entirely and pretend Nate McMillan is our head coach. Probably a good idea because the odds of JJ resigning for one reason or another in the first two seasons is fairly high.
What is so funny was Rob saying that they will stay aggressive hahaha / Agressive in dodging opportunities in getting the right pieces LoL
FIRE ROB!
Taurean will shoot the lights out in Milwaukee making Lakers fans thirst for him to comeback after bashing the hell out of him
I was watching some Kessler highlights this morning. Definitely what we need as far as rim protection he’s smooth with it and rebounds his ass off now I’d give up two first for both lauri and walker if that’s even possible anymore but damn that would be nice for is
lol 2 isn’t enough for Lauri alone let alone with Kessler
@@jonjonfunomenon then get Kessler than tf we waiting for he’s young and affects the game with his length rebounding blocking lob threat shot blocker every bit worth 1 first and a dlo or rui
Why do you keep saying Lakers don't have roster spots?? They don't need to trim the team down until the start of the season. If Lakers wanted him, he wanted to be in LA, and he had a clear important role on the team, they could have signed him.
Great selections on assistant coaches.
Darn I miss Dr Buss
Not mad at it
Listen i like Taurean but the reality of the situation was we don't have the room for him literally. Between not having a roster spot #1 and #2 there is no rotation minutes for him. Christie and Knecht are going to get rotation mins. Vando/ Gabe who both missed majority of season will be getting rotation minutes. DLO, Reaves, Rui , Bron, AD will obviously be gstting mins. That's 9 spots. it's gonna be a big getting that final spot either Hayes/ Wood or some other big via trade/ min contract off bench. So there was no mins for him in this rotation. Wish him the best on Bucks but I'm not losing any sleep over losing someone that would have been on bench whole time.
The first move they need to make is to trade Christian Wood's 3m into another team's space. Unfortunately, this move may require attaching a second round pick. This simple move gets them 1m under the apron and they can get to work.
Lakers leadership = U.S. leadership.
We lost the only & best bench player that showed up during the playoffs last year : (
Only 3 and D guy lakers had!
I think Lakers are in a decent spot. Provided most of the team is healthy for the season, I think Max Christie and Connect4 will also contribute to the team
What a mess the Lakers efforts at improving the roster always seem like the most difficult in the league!🤷🏾
Good he didn't do anything special time for LA to let the young boys come in the game we have hella talent waiting to play
Just get an impactful Big &/or wing...you can use any/all of AR, Gabe, Cam, JHS, pick(s). Would keep Dlo for his 3 point shooting/playmaking (connects well with AD), Rui for offense & Vando for D. Knecht & Christie can nicely fill the remaining void. Knecht will surprise with his underrated athleticism/upside compared to what AR can muster. Hopefully Bronny grows his wings under his dad's...
SCREW LA! HE WAS THE BEST OFF THE BENCH PLAY LAST YEAR. FOOLS!!!!
Player option Rob and 2 Way James got some work to do.
Signed Bronny and let Taurean Prince go? Crazy!
Bring back in Fisher, Horry, Fox and Shaq 😂 Maybe the Lakers will be back into the groove 😅
Sell the team
sell your car
did they really "LOSE" Taurean Prince? Come on now... Him leaving is a good thing
The Russel Westbroook debacle trade is still affecting the Lakers in a bad way. Now, we are trying to get Kuzma back.
I feel sorry for whoever WAS the Bucks starting small forward.
😂
Scott brooks!!! Good good move
Lakers are stuck with a 40 year old player who acts like he is the owner of the organization.
I'm confused... Isn't he the owner???😂
And he is still your best and most consistent player…… y’alll ungrateful fans. Lakers was a shithole, lottery pick and an irrelevant team until Bron came
@@yurifromdttw9514 and he's the only one who seems to be interested in winning.... He was willing to take a 12-14M pay cut for same.... Yes ungrateful Laker fans and incompetent front office and ownership
@@yurifromdttw9514you’re Bron bot use to losing. Bron is trash and old. Stat padding and crippling the team for his benefit. If hiring a podcaster and drafting Le weenie jr is a flex to u then obviously you don’t know basketball
@@yurifromdttw9514 Outside that 2020 bubble chip...trash Lakers aren't really that much better with yer aging Queen either.😑😜
Staff looking nice
they dont want taurean now, they already have the "real prince"
If the @Lakers miss out on getting @DeMar_DeRozan who’s still a very Elite impactful bucket getter whom LeBron & AD would love to have & its also his childhood team & dream and the Lakers could help him fulfill that in these last few years of his career & if they don’t work him in what a bad look it’ll be.
