He was a no-show in Philly & Indiana I'm glad we passed on him
Make better sense to keep dlo with the current roster
I'm fine with last year's roster plus an actual big who is at least serviceable.
It’s not the same rosters, it’s worse because Lakers lost TP and SD. You got back bronny!!!! and DC.
Kuzma and Rui are basically the same type players. Good regular season performers but so so in the playoffs.
If your fine with this roster your fine with another first round exit or not makin the playoffs
We lost Prince him abd Bron and dlo only ones hitting shots last year
We need wendall carter
I feel that Vanderbilt is essentially an addition due to coming back from injury. I always felt his defense and athleticism would have unlocked last years team. We need a solid big man that can lean on from time to time.
Naw bro. He can go. He is not a lock down defender. idk why people act like he is. Point out 1 game where he actually locked down someone. And he is terrible on offense. Too much money wasted on him. Can't even get rid of him with his limitations
Will he be of any help in the playoffs though? Vanderbilt is equally a game-changer as he is unplayable. He's a bad finisher at the rim, can't shoot, can't create but he's elite as an on-ball and help defender.
I'm with you
Definitely on the big
I also think people are overlooking Vando's rebounding and the fact that he was actually giving us a little offense under the basket in the few games he was healthy last year.
Now you might say that was very few but I don't remember any 5 game stretch before that the year before where he was doing that good.
I've always said I'm not worried about his three. He just needs to let me catch those lasers that LeBron throws he goes to the basket and he needs to be able finish when he does. And be able to finish put backs when he gets O rebs
Vando can hoop, and for the above guy he's locked up Luka and made it tough on kd and others, he's an all defensive player if he can have a healthy season, he's that good on that side of the floor
@@Kingofkings29 If we had Vanderbilt to silence Murry, Lakers would possibly be in the finals.. the Lakers were up most of the series.. they just couldn't stop their closer in Murry. Vanderbilt does the best job on him. Denver also lost KCP
Seeing Buddy Heild play…. I’m gooooooood
exactly. He's like D'Angelo Russell... but without all the shot creation and passing.
He wont be playoff reliable. I'm good
@@TheNamesDitto that’s what I struggle in my dilemma of the Dlo
Buddy Hield Sucks, if he was that good teams wouldn’t be trading him every other time.
@@Samulzmicrotvso y’all think Christian wood is good and he play for a different team every year 😂
we dodged two bullets on hield and klay both are washed and chuck 3s all game long nasty work.
Facts
That’s pretty much us lol
Possibly but the Lakers have not done anything. That bullet went straight to the LAkers heart. lol
Klay would’ve been nice but neither Klay or Buddy provide any defense so we wouldn’t really improve with either of them
buddy is awful, people are getting mad for nothing, he would hard cap us too lol, theres a reason so many teams passed on him
Exactly. Dodged a bullet w Klay too.
You're hard capped anyway lol, over the 2nd tax apron cause of Pelinka giving minimums to people who won't be in the league
People thinking the Lakers supposed to make any old deal. Buddy Hield ain’t it, and would be an overpay! Boy is trash
He’s not awful but he’s definitely overrated by many.
Everybody trash...once they spurn the Lakers
Only real missed opportunity I see here was Valanciunas. These other big names are washed and looking for their last big contract.
If you wanna be mad at Pelinka about anything it’s the lack of urgency trade and clear these roster spots, we’re missing out on some of the lesser names that would be solid for us. Bucks signing TP for minimum is a bargain.
Facts we need diamonds in the rough not old guys
If Gabe Vincent and Vanderbilt play this year, and Knecht contributes, we are better than last year. A center world be huge for us though.
True especially if the players by in to JJ, and he gets most out of the team and doesn't put them at disadvantage during games.
Gabe Vincent is pure ass
Walker Kessler should be our center. True 7'1 not 6'9 center like Woods or R. Williams . He is young and he is on a rookie contract. Perfect fit
LONNIE WALKER IV
BRING HIM BACK,
NEVER SHOULD HAVE LET HIM GO.
its too bad darvin scam limited his minutes
YESSSSS he would be a GOATED back up pg
If they can free up a roster spot, he's at least way better than Reddish
Should have kept shrewder too
Was buddy even a legit target. I think he’s talking crazy
never saw a single report that the lakers were interested
I'll take Dalton over Hield now
He's not
I doubt he was a target at all bro
Buddy definitely fell off since the 1st time we tried to sign him. In hindsight, it’s PROBABLY a good thing we didn’t trade for him
I remember the year Pelinka got hired by the Lakers. Rumor has it that no one likes dealing with him. I wonder if it's true to this day?
But nobody wants to keep talking about this,they want to blame Lebron smh crazy
It's true. He snaked a lot of GMs in the league during his days as an agent. However, there's a very small group that will do business with him. Magic left the Lakers front office specifically because of Pelinka not doing his due diligence and helping out the team
He only got the job cause of kobe
Reason for constant turnover of rhe team every year cause of what Kobe told him years ago?@@otissmith1690
Magic got feelings hurt because Pelinka call him lazy, so he quit lol. Magic a quitter lol
The only way the Lakers get anyone else is if a player calls the Lakers directly and says, I want to play with the Lakers. Or a team calls looking to give away a player. Because Rob is not going to do anything.
@@mrdee6076 because he’s an incompetent asshole who only cares about the money
Yep, no surprise the Lakers roster usually ends up with mostly Klutch clients. They need to just hire Rich Paul because he essentially doing Rob's job withOUT the same level of resources😅
@@gamechanger114.... I almost agree with you. But if you don't think that Rich Paul has more resources than Sob Pa-stinka. Then I think you should do so research.
Maybe players just don’t wanna play for Lakers.
Lakers Got the 17th and 55th picks in the Draft!, Nothing in Free Agency! Fire Rob Pelinka 💜✌💛
Buddy Hield can't take that pressure ...he's used to losing and not having to be accountable 😮 If i were LeBron aint no way in hell would i give up $1.00 for Buddy 🎉
Walker Kessler please. We need to outbid the Knicks
Right I love that defense he have and he better start next to AD if he come to us put him on Jokic
As a Knicks fan it's not happening we got the better team more upside
As a Knicks fan it's not happing we got the better team more upside
@@Brandon-ey2ym glad yall finally starting to get good took some years cause yall was just as dysfunctional as us. The issue is we continuing this dysfunctional dynamic instead of rebuilding
Pelinka trading with Danny ainge. This is going to go good I’m sure🙄
Players looking for stability, not worried about getting traded.
Well if the player isn't putting out they won't be stable. That's in every organization. Not just Lakers
@@flawless39 chemistry takes time.
This is exactly my point..every year the team changes..how can any player feel loyal, play their butt's off always thinking they gonna get traded..the fan gonna demand he be traded.
Fire Rob Pelinka
Should've been gone, but this time not necessarily his fault
Not his fault. Nobody cares about the Lakers no more. Kobe passed and yall let that clown wannabe king take over and become the face of the Lakers. Nobody respects yall anymore.
Please 🙏🙏🙏
Jeanie Buss should sell this team!
Front Office are such clowns. For years, they dont wanna win a chip. They just delusional, scared focused on the future. But what future!?? They dont wanna win now! 😑🤦
Buddy Hield's decision not to join the Lakers is insignificant. He doesn't move the needle.
Lefraud Blames
Klay didn’t turn the Lakers down, Warriors did in a sign and trade bc they didn’t want D-Lo. Signing as a FA They could only give him 12.8 Million per year vs Mavs 16.7 million (that’s a big difference especially including no state tax vs high state tax).
Anyone who said he turned down 20 million per year to play with the Lakers is lying.
PS Kuzma is ABSOLUTELY not the answer. Career -1.1 BPM. 33% from 3 the last 6yrs from 3 on 6 attempts per game. 28% from 3 in playoffs (27 games) on 4 attempts per game. He’s -2.2 OnOff for career and -7.2 in playoffs! His offensive rating and defensive rating for his career are both not good.
I like that Kessler Sexton trade or Grant.
Trevor, that's why I enjoy your content. You see through all the BS! That Buddy Heild story was fake as hell. There was no way Lebron was taking a $20M paycut for that bum!
Why is he a "bum"....you BUM?!
Or maybe buddy didn’t want to play for the Lakers.
@iagreewithtruth400 That makes zero sense! King James wasn't taking a $20M paycut to get a dam role player named Buddy Heild. Over half the Lakers current roster is far better than Buddy Heild. Unless we offered him a minimum salary. That's all he's worth! You're insane if you think otherwise!
@@troneforce8199 nobody wants to play for the lakers bro. Face it. It’s a circus. I like the lakers as well. Just keep this roster, maybe get a big and run it back
There is SM hate on Lakers...I'm looking forward to just a Center in a trade and gives us more fuel for next season haters
I think the most annoying part of all of this is every hour that goes by , you hear a new team, trade targets, former lakers etc.. BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE!!
Don't let that BS bother you so what!
LeBum held a fire sale for 72 hours on his contract? We signed no one and he signed 102 million for 2 year max. Thanks for the token sale LeBum. SMH
U idiots find a way to blame LeBron for everything 😭😭😭
Everyone blames Pelinka as if his hands aren’t tied and trading too much of their future isn’t at all a reasonable request.it’s obvious the lakers aren’t a desired destination and there is no cap flexibility Lebron is 40etc and we have literally no valuable players.all of this is to be expected.its time to just accept that the purple and gold is no longer the juggernaut it once was
The Walker Kessler trade idea is perfect. If that happens I think that the team is in good shape. Darvin Ham, according to EVERY fan was the problem...he's gone. Max Christie according to EVERY fan is this super talent that needs playing time...well it's time to see it. Dalton Kenecht is a baller. That's 3 upgrades right there and Gabe Vincent plus Vando will be healthy. 5 reasons right there that should make this team better. That Kessler trade needs to happen and the Lakers will be fine.
Totally agree give Ainge what he wants for kessler..
@@hilamadventures4060 getting Ainge to help the Lakers though...it's like making a deal with the devil.
Kuzma is NOT better than Rui!!! What games are you watching? It's crazy to have ANY conversation involving a trade for Kuzma! PLEASE STOP!
Kuzma is lightyears better than rui that man gets so lost on defense is not even funny. Kuz can get his own bucket too rui needs a set play
Rui = literally 5 points per game in 6 playoff games. He was sleepwalking in the playoffs.
Rui is miles ahead of Kuz. Way better.
Dude I like Rui but Kuz is better
Kuz is a better fit than Rui. Rui's a better post up/mid range player, but Kuz runs the floor and is that young set of legs that ends up where you need him to be.
With a pass first player (i.e. Back in the Zo/Kuz days), Kuz will run the floor for easy buckets. Kuz can be a 15-20pt scorer with 6-8 rebounds easily on this team. AD needs rebounding help, he needed to do so much on both ends of the floor against the Nuggets & he'll ultimately end up getting injured.
I love Rui, but in the recent playoffs he was too scared to shoot, and when he did he couldn't make diddly squat.
There should be one open roster spot if the Lakers were not forced to sign Bronny into a regular nba contract.
Not surprised. Who really wants to join this LeClown father and son show?!? 😂
To behonest I liked last year's roster, we jus needed to be healthy we had injuries throughout the duration of the season- we jus need a big a wing and get someone that knows how to close games so that takes the pressure off LeBron.... We don't need d Lo closing a game then reeves closing a game then someone else trying to be a hero. That's a problem we need to hang our hats on DEFENSE and limit these TURNOVERS! if our schedule is average and we have enough home games atleast 35 home games or more I think we can be the 4th seed, which is reachable but we gotta start the first ten games of the season winning being like 7-3 and keep that pace we gotta scout and prepare for the team that we are facing.... We should go sign Dwight Howard and Boogie Cousins lets get kuzma too we need to replicate the 2020 championship season-( that team was SUPER BALANCED)
Buddy hield is basically another DLo.. good for one thing- 3 pointers and also doesnt play defense. Oh well..
Hield to Warriors was just him getting more PT there
Exactly
I think nobody's messing wit the Lakers coz they were"cautioned to not draft bronny"🤷🏿♂️
Lakers aren’t going to do a damn thing, player options killed us
@@jeezze07 exactly I was going to buy a Knecht jersey but I’m done I’m not watching this team this year at not until the piece of shit gm gets fired
The Lakers are a dumpster fire right now. I’m a diehard Laker fan since the days of Magic. First other front offices hate the Lakers. JJ has not coached before. Lakers have never respected anyone put star players.
If you are a marginal star or role player, you will stay in trade rumors or
be on the trading block until they trade you. To some Lebron has to much power. As a Laker fan,I make sure I listen to other teams podcasts
to see what people think and feel about the Lakers. It is not good.
The only player the Lakers can get is
Probably Lavine, who has a very undesirable contract and a history of
injuries
Everything you stated is facts! This fanbase is very fickle and that's why no one wants to play for the Lakers. If you are not a star player, good luck cause the fanbase will turn on you even when you go through a slump. No one wants to feel this way, and it's not fair to the players. Look at Boston for example, they keep most of the guys on the team for a while a made small tweaks, now it's paid off! FO is cheap and doesn't want to pay guys, hence why the 2020 team go broken up when it never should have been smh
People have always though and felt a certain way about the Lakers..nothing new...
Lost to the celts in 84 called chokers, tragic magic, jabbar washed up, soft team..
Lakers sign Shaq..what are they doing? It's not fair rules must be changed...Lakers draft Kobe..ha ha ha they so dumb an 18 yr old high school kid gonna lead them to a title...
It's been going on and on and on nearly 50 years.
@@hilamadventures4060 Being a Laker fan
It is very frustrating when that can put together a better trade package, but teams
will take less not deal with them.
Lakers might not have the best trade package, but I sure they had a better package than what New Orleans gave to
get Murray.
@@byronwilliams6532 Agree recall in 2018 how Magic was trying to get Kawhi from the Spurs? Pop stated he would give Kawhi away before dealing him to the Lakers his preferred destination..Think about how GM's around the league are connected to each other from time with the Spurs/Celtics/Cavs ..
This is great news.
I'm tired of trading for, and acquiring, players who forget to play basketball once they get here, cant handle the championship-driven environment, and don't have the motivation nor goals set to excel here. I applaud them passing on the Lakers, it avoids us wasting picks and saves time having to adjust from their departures due to a lack of fit with an organization that is not for those who are not up for it.
To those who pass on us, I say thank you.
Get Bruce Brown to cover for Dlo. We need his 3pt shooting to go along with Knect 4
Exactly! This is the comment I was looking for. Just need 1 point of attack defender and a center to help AD, that should be enough!
Pretty much everyone has said no.
Dan Hurley
Klay
Mle free agents
Buddy Hield
All said no.
Hurley was just a ploy for him to get more money. How many college coaches had success in the nba. Glad he didn’t come
There wasn’t really any report lakers wanted heild 😂😂
@@mikeangel8017 Maybe true
Do Klay and Hoeld provide any defense? No so why are stuck on these washed up players
@@TheWetNomadXDdefinitely washed up
An aging superstar and a pathetic coach is enough to driveway potential recruits.
and a pathetic and incapable front office who doesn’t know in what direction they want to go
@@foe._nigel pathetic and incapable front office brought about by their desire to go towards the direction of pleasing the aging superstar.
@@jolli4116 not really if u actually think about it. LA is trying to do both, please their star somewhat and keep their assets intact… they don’t want to rebuild completely and they don’t wana sell the farm to retool..
Will be a miracle if Trev will critisize LeBron at least once in a lifetime
For what 🤣🤣 y'all just want to hate LeBron for everything stop crying 😭🤦🤡
I was out on JHS before we drafted him. That pick should have been the far better, most NBA-ready, local kid in Jaime Jaquez. For me, Rob has to answer for that move like Carlo had to answer for Sonny in The Godfather!!
Trade Reeves while u can
Dalton starting SG insted of Reaves!
It might can happened but both of them is our best shooter on the team
To me them Russell and Rui
Our roster is so full that even our coaching staff is filled with NBA guards 🤣
Stop taking reporting from people like Shams at face value
who wants to go to a team ran by LBJ? where he put his kid on the team. people don't want to be involved in this mess.
What do laker fans do when the trade deadline is passed and nothing happens?
Like always nothings
They shamefully raise in-season tournament banners as if they mean anything. And pray for a play-in spot.
Gabe Vincent gonna have an all star year, will become part of starting rotation
The Lakers organization no longer has the stellar reputation Jerry Buss and Jerry West created.
Maybe one day Lakers fans will come to the realization of who the real problem is as to why nobody wants to come to the team. But perhaps if you don't already know then in all likelihood you'll never know.
Lebron James
@@CoachTaeidk cause LeBron James is the only superstar that signed with the lakers for decades since shaq. Maybe, just maybe it's not LBJ? How come no superstar has ever signed with the lakers since shaq? Interesting.
@@CoachTaeAlso the only reason AD is here was because of LeBron btw, otherwise AD wouldn't even sign with this team let alone get traded to it.
I knew it! Nobody wants to come because of Jalen Hood Schfno 😔
Klay Thompson nailed it..
Being in a FISHBOWL..
The pressure of the name on the front, the demanding fans Good & entitled, the Media behaving like TMZ reporters or paparazzi...
Nearly every game nationally televised..the title or Bust mentally...
Not for every NBA player..
Some just wanna make money , win a games,have fun, chase the ladies then go home..
its not even that i wanted buddy hield...its sad that literally every body is rejecting us now. they see the disfunction in the front office. i have been warning people for a while about this man... crazy thing with us is we trade players if they suck, we fire coaches if they suck yet the people who make the decisions to get them and make so many other blunders get to sit at the top and do the same thing every year?i am just so god damn frustrated at this point.
I hope Lakers fans wake up to reality. Most quality FA do not want to be in LA. The Bron circus and the fact the FO appeased all of his demands is a huge red flag. There is a reason we have empty moves so far. I don't see this dynamic changing until Bron retires.
Think about it. If you where a player, you see that the lakers players are always either getting roasted by the fans or constantly in trade talks. Players would
Rather play for someone else.
So, of the rumors, there are two people who rejected more than a minimum offer from the Lakers. Klay and DeRozan
LeBron offered to take a pay cut for Klay... and then when he didn't get Klay (and the other rumored names were signed while Rob was trying to get Klay for LeBron) or DeRozan, LeBron took back the offer.
Not bagging on LeBron, just pointing out that the Lakers have only minimum contracts to offer to free agents. Why would any of these guys getting MLE level offers turn that down to get the minimum from the Lakers. Would you take 2 million from the Lakers when you could get 10 million from Golden State? Probably not.
Most of the players that they'd actually want got more than minimum contracts. I kinda wish they had waved Cam by now and maybe re-signed Prince for the minimum, but I think they're earmarking Prince's minutes to go to Max and Knecht.
Lakers...replace 'ake' with 'ose' lol
@@johnperry7495 so multiple things here...i am not just talking players i am talking every body. ty lue rejected us in 2020 alongside monty williams (who ig people wouldnt want but still at that time he was sought out for and idk how much worse he would have been than vogel). anyways that was a few years back this year we got rejected by a college coach in hurley and an assistant coach in dwayne casey. then klay picked mavs because he thought they were a better destination for winning and so did hield with warriors ig since thats the rumor coming from them. only guy that wanted to be here is demar but we cant even get that deal done..now lets go to the player signings which are putting us above the second apron and fucking up our roster spots and may have effected our trade for klay. we gave player options to guys like christian wood, jaxxon hayes,cam reddish when atleast 2 of the 3 players didnt deserve a player option and now we are above the cap for this exact reason and do not have roster spots to sign a star either. then u add the fact that max christie was supposed to be signed an extra year and same with austin reaves and u have us paying another 10 t0 12 million a lot sooner than we needed to. these are just contractual mistakes, i could go in to detail about how they fucked up the roster build every year by building 0 shooting and wing depth for multiple years when that was our identity for when we won the champion ship. how they never ever got a decent guard for a big like ad who can use his gravity properly in pick and roll etc etc...there is so many other reasons but i hope this paragraph is enough to explain my gripes with the front office.
No one wants to play with a senior citizen and his inept son.
Trevor is ALWAYS going to say something to get you invested in coming back. It's so tiring.
They're not getting any free agents, players in the league hate LeBron and Brony too!
I would def Hire Bob Meyers and fire Pelinka
Bob Meyers is wealthy enough to pick and choose if and when he wants to work.
Perfect call
Lebron is wealthy enough to take a vet minimum... What's your point?? @@marcusgarvey6231
All hypothetical @@marcusgarvey6231
Great call! While you're at it, fire the real culprit. Jeannie Buss!
Honestly, the Warriors have a better front office, coaching, and currently a more balanced and promising future/roster. Buddy maybe the right choice
I wish people would stop avoiding the elephant in the room. Signing Bronny to a max second round deal is the reason why the team is hard capped. If LeBron is the "hero" for taking 11 million less for players that he wants then he has to be looked at as the villain if he doesn't take 1 million less to keep the team out of the second apron while his son got over paid.
Remember Rob had Buddy and DeRozan till LBJ and JB stepped in....But Rob gets the blame.
No sir get your facts right,before you post.Lebron wanted Derozan and the Bald Eagle and the Lakers front office didn’t want to do it so he had a choice out of Buddy Heild or Westbrook and at that time I would have went with Westbrook as well
@@user-id1gc6sl4nboth of you are not stating facts. Just cause these people are out on the market don’t mean he was looking for the lakers to get them. If that was the case, he wouldn’t have resigned already.

@@user-id1gc6sl4nfacts Demar wanted 3yrs LA was only trynna give 2
@@MiserableRacer only the people in the room know the 100% facts (so not you either). But based on all the reporting from that period what I stated IS the known truth. Just because you don't want to believe doesn't change anything. Go back on this ch to that period and rewatch if you don't believe me.
The Warriors didn't even get to play in a play-in game last year and they just lost Klay and Wiggins. In what world would the Lakers have a worse chance at a companionship than that? Just makes zero chance.
I'd rather see Dalton Knecht play than pay Hield $21 million.
We already improved the team. Taurean and Darvin are gone. Let's just hope JJ is smart enough to remember Dlo & Spence taking nets to playoffs.
Put the ball in the young guys hands and let's go! We have a good team!
I just got done recutting Christmas Day against Celts. How could they ever let Prince have that big of role is beyond me. 🤦🏻♂️
That tells you how much he knows he's just talking out of his ass!
I gotta believe that JJ being the coach has turned off a lot of the free agent this summer.
Trev. We were great before our role players got injured. And people act like we got murdered vs denver, we legit lost to 2 buzzer beaters. Which i believe if we had better coaching the outcome wouldve been different and couldve easily been up 3-1
Buddy Hield saw all them Laker guards on the roster and said, I'll pass.
Man just trade the 2 picks D lo gotta go and if reaves dont want to come off the bench his ass can go to hesnot a starter they blew his head up in La overhype
If no trade happens now dont even worry about trading at the deadline
I'm cool not getting buddy hill. I think the road's out, then it's all up to you, brain.
My superchat still wasn’t read from like 6 lives ago.
Lakers still haven't did anything 😂 this is crazy
Front Office are such clowns. For years, they dont wanna win a chip. They just delusional, scared focused on the future. But what future!?? They dont wanna win now! 😑🤦
Rob will win manager of the year award for getting bronny and knecht
Doesn’t surprise me, i’m just waiting for bron to sign the max and for us to run it bk without prince
LeBron James was not going to take a pay cut, he tricked the Lakers into signing his son. Once his son was signed, he signed his own contract. The Lakers organization is now very sad ! 😢
I say stay put for now and see how everything will play out with the new coaching staff. Teams are asking too much for non-impact players right now. We need everyone to be healthy, we didn't have enough games with full roster last year. We can afford to bring Dwight Howard to help on rebounds and defense inside and get rid of Hayes.
Exactly u are on my staff now I'm a GM you are the assistant
Pelinka isn't a good GM, what r his job qualifications besides being Kobe's agent? He's no Jerry West. Jeanie Buss and pelinka and the rambises r ruining the Lakers.
Laker fans just like to see trades and people moved we are fine where we’re at our roster had injuries off and on all season if everyone stays healthy our roster is better then GSW
Is it possible that lakers can’t even make a trade, like JHS + salary and second round picks for nick richards??
We keep talking about bigs but I'm not convinced that the Lakers front office is focused on that at all
I mean it's been obvious for over two seasons now and they've refused to do it. I don't remember if I've even ever heard them talk about it?
Y’all just want to trade. Keep this team and assess at trade deadline
Not everyone is built to play for the Lakers .... mediocrity is not tolerated !
Why is LeGM in the team then...
@@SPYDCR Refer to above post .... that's why !
Some of these guys was turn down by the Lakers thought they were coming and the Lakers chose Russell Westbrook or others so maybe they felt some kind of way
Other teams don’t value most of our trade pieces like we do. Proposing trades with Lakers players other teams don’t want is why many people believe Laker fans don’t know anything about basketball.
Not giving up any 1st round picks for any trade. We need to be cautious with the future as well.
Which of the bigs is it better reminder in those two trades?
That's what I would base my choice on
We have shooters on this team we need a center. Everybody is bigger and we have no decent backups.
Is Gary Trent still available?
@@hulcx1779 dude we’re not making trades because pelinka is shit at his job
Where did Spencer go? I can’t find it on google lol
There's no way! the Homie Bron said what you said Trevor! About Buddy Hill!!!!? Hell NO!!!!
No one trying to play with LeGM !!! Sell the team
I suspect agents lying about about the Lakers wanting their players.
There's going to be moves. Let's see the finish product first. Not saying the fans' frustration isn't legitimate, but patience is needed. Notice how "top" teams have made their moves already? We playing chess, not checkers. Go Lakers!
NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY FOR LETOXIC
But it’s such a great deal: all the blame when you lose and zero credit for wins.
Lies lies u just get triggered over Bron which is embarrassing for u
haters toxic
Jeannie Buss should sell the team to an individual like Steve Balmer. She doesn't deserve to be the Lakers owner.
“Deserve”???? That sounds like a sexist statement. Name one owner then that deserves to be in that position???
I'm good on Buddy Heild just another dlo 😂 dlo is better in my opinion
Since lakers did not land d murray, I think that there is no good trade for us, not as nearly as good like one for murray. So keep this team, and make trade during the next seasone. I ONLY HAVE ONE REQUEST… play DALTON AS STARTING SG and put reaves to lead bench unit.
I've never seen Buddy Hield move the needle for a single team that he's been on. Goldenstate is a perfect fit for him.
So why do you put Rui in every trade? Rui is a good three point shooter, and getting better every year! I think the lakers should be looking for a big, and we will be good! We have Vando coming back, and a healthy Gabe Vincent! We should be good!
Yeah Rui is a good piece. 6'8, good shooter, coachable, good midrange, big body, respectful, built chemistry. Same with DLO. Why get rid of these guys on good contracts??
With the addition of Buddy Hield to GS, I expect him and Curry will be jacking up 3's at record numbers. Of course, teams that live with the 3's will eventually die when the shots don't fall in.
I mean if we are being honest...NOT one single player that has moved teams this off-season would move the needle for us far enough for us to be getting all bent out of shape about... patience please
2 years ago we made a few trades and make a run to the WCF. Last we wasn’t healthy enough all season and the only team we can beat is the nuggets, if Rob make a couple moves (the right moves) who to say we can make a run to the Finals
Saw a post saying the warriors had a good off season 🤣😂🤣😂
