I for some reason click all these videos and completely watch them while I fully know that absolutely 0 changes have happened, and that these videos are all just speculation based bc no one knows what pelinka is going to do. Hell pelinka may not even know what pelinka is going to do

Gary Trent Jr. Man just run it back with what we got. I'm all for the youth movement. Let those guys get minutes.

Austin reaves and Gary Trent jr backcourt will be 🔥 🔥🔥🔥.

linked to every player but sign none

We need to make a significant trade for a star. Do you honestly believe AD and lebron will play the whole season or close too. THEY ARE PLAYING IN THE OLYMPICS

Everynight I go to sleep hoping that when I wake up sometimes has changed. Instead I'm stuck in the twilight zone ⏰️ 🙃

Gabe Vincent is a workhorse. Everyone seems to have forgotten that bc of the injury. He will shoot 38% from three and play awesome Defense.

It wouldn't be the worst thing if the Lakers ran it back and just gave Christie and rui more minutes than Prince from the start plus getting Gabe back it is a better team and they won 47 games. They should win 50 or so games and finish top 5

Luka Šamanić has the attributes to be a starting caliber center in the NBA. He is SLEPT on because he is run at PF. BUT, he can 100 percent start at Center especially with AD backing him up. He has physicality, versatility, and a high basketball IQ. He’s 6'10", his agility and wingspan allow him to guard multiple positions. And he can stretch the floor with a reliable three-point shot. He is only 24 years old! (Turned this year) These averages are based on slightly old data and they might be slightly behind: In games where Šamanić has started, he averages 14.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game. Per 36 minutes in starts, his averages rise to 18.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks, with shooting percentages of 48.2% from the field and 35.7% from three. Last season, per 36 minutes, he averaged 17.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks. His career highs include 23 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 blocks in a single game, showcasing tremendos upside. Player Efficiency Rating (PER) of 19.3 and a Defensive Box Plus-Minus (DBPM) of +1.8 Not to mention his off-ball movements and decision-making with show extremely high IQ. IMO he solves a big chunk of the lakers problems and is on a 2.5 million dollar expiring contract.

All these lakers fans are wayyyy underselling the value of good player development and situation. RUI will jump, Vincent is a very solid SG all lakers need is a backup big body. Everything else will be ok

Wanted Lakers to get G Trent back when he was with the blazers . Hopefully they finally do

Gary Trent, Grant and Kessler/Wendell Carter bring this team back in title contention

I’ve sent 3 super chats and bought an all star membership-and cannot for the life of me get my comment read. SMH.

Center..Center....Wendell Carter. Wtf

All these delusional laker fans hating on Rui, watch when he gets more mins without Prince how he’s gonna go off

We ain’t doing shit as the lakers but gotta support our boys channel lol

You get gary trent jr, can then trade AR+Max 2-3 picks for Lauri Dlo/Trent Jr/Bron/AD/Lauri Bench Rui/Vandy/Wood/Knetch/Cam/Hayes

Thought experiment: The Lakers look like they're running it back. But running it back includes getting players that had minimal contributions last year hopefully back in the lineup. So the question becomes, if Vanderbilt, Vincent, and Christie were being brought in from other teams and we lost pieces that contributed as much as they did last year, would we not call that a fairly successful summer when combined with nabbing Knecht in the draft? That's potentially four useful rotation players you're adding to the team and you're really only losing Prince and Dinwiddie.

The difference between Rui and Cam Johnson is that Cam is actually a mobile defender and is very switchy from 1-4.

Trent,, what has he done, sometimes we need to stay put, unless we can get a backup center.

Pelinka gotta do his due diligence I heard they want a 1st for DFS and not Cam cus his injury history

Rui is much better than cam Johnson

What about Jerami Grant and Brook Lopez? Some kind of 3 team trade?

We need to get gary trent jr and gerami grant- the make room on the roster for a big man... Why not Dwight Howard???

Be patient everyone. We're under the second apron and that's huge I think we'll eventually get a decent trade to improve this roster Remember 2021 No trade is better than a bad trade

Just get a back up big PF/C no more guards!!! Please Rob need bigs no guards!!

I'll take Bertans fresh cut just for the hell of it, if he's willing.

i would even be happy to get someone like Daniel Theis, i think he would be a solid pickup and is a good fit

Needs are a point of attack defender and a backup center. Trade DLO and Hayes via Min. for W. Carter. That checks off one, and opens slots and tax payer exception for the other. I don't think Trent Jr. addresses a top need. Needed someone like K. Dunn or Melton but, a little late on those.

At this point every name they bring up is someone who isn’t coming to the lakers.

Who is doing a worse job Jeanie Buss or Jerry Jones. Lakers need to hire a top 3 GM and let them work. I have not been impressed with Pelinka since he’s been given the job.

Pelinka is running it back with a healthy Vando, Gabe, Wood. Christie more minutes, Knecht minutes. DLo-Gabe Reaves-Christie Vando-Knecht LBJ-Rui AD-Wood-Hayes Bronny Lewis Reddish JHS Blake Hinson two way Armel Traore two way Castleton two way If they can pull a trade for a real C backup that’s the move. Walker Kessler, Wendell Carter Jr, Nic Richards.

Lebron & AD Olympics will have a major impact on this season. Pelinka number 1 target should be a high utility scorer that can win you games when AD and/or Bron is out some nights (Grant, Lavine, Kuzma). Then fill in the remainder of your roster with high end role players (AR, DLo, Vando, Rui, Gabe, Christie). There’s a space where both can happen if Lakers make calculated moves. ‪🤔🤔 The fact that Lakers looking for a 3rd scoring option signals that AR isn’t the answer correct…..? If AR was Lakers 3rd scoring option then Lakers would only be looking for a trade to enhance spots 4-8 not (Lavine, Grant, Kuzma or Cam). Interesting! ‬

At this point might as well just roll with this team. There's no trade reported that makes them title contenders. So no use giving up limited assets. Some fans here just want them to make trades even if they are bad or lateral moves. Just punt this season and hopefully something better comes up next season or at the trade deadline

The Lakers are basically the same team as last year while other teams are all building up. Fire Rob!

How many times did people say last year, _"We're a good coach away from being a contender."_ That was with the same healthy players. Why are we now acting that getting a new coaching staff _isn't enough_ all of a sudden?

The Lakers will be in the same situation as previous season. This is the reality of not being able to get a good player because of the salary cap. The Lakers will be lucky to be in the play in playoff.

I know it takes two to tango (trade) but you seem to have a knack for trading ...Trevor you should pay for pelinka's job....😂

Would u try to get Kessler n Wendell? 3 big rotation . Don’t have to depend on AD coming from team USA. Both could also stay even after Bron n even after AD . They could probably play together move Wendell to 4.

At this point, the current roster is gonna have to band together and prove people wrong by winning and hopefully go far I. the playoffs.

Blazers have no need for Rui, DLo, or Vanderbilt. The only player the Blazers might want is Dalton Knecht or Max Christie, but that doesn't work with salary. Blazers don't have any real incentive to trade Jermi Grant at this time. Plus, there young guys can still use a veteran like him on the team. There's no future for DLo, Rui or Vanderbilt on the Blazers, they have other younger players they already on the team they prefer over them. They probably even like Matisse Thybulle over Vanderbilt since Thybulle is not as offesively challeged and can make 3's too

We have a good team. They have more chemistry this year. Vando being healthy is huge. We cooked everybody in the tournament. The west is stacked. Long as we pass the play in tournament and dont have to play for our lives the last week of the season, we will be rested enough to handle business. The playoffs are all about match ups. We played the fuckin Champs first and lost winnable games cause of Ham. We will be in a better spot at the end this year. Stop hating on DLO and Rui. Rui will improve and DLO is a bucket. He helped us get to the playoffs and set a Laker record for 3s. Lets just buy in and hope for a big and JJ taking us out of the stone-age offense. WE GOT THIS!!

Bro, I have been waiting for 1 month for the Lakers to sign someone, every time they say they are going to sign someone, they don't do it, it's just rumors. Let's see, Gary will also escape from LA too

I like Darius Garland 24 years old

Lavine 43 million this year moving up to 48 million in 2 more years. Yep 3 years left on his contract for a guy that played 25 games last year. Please fans. Don't even think of Lavine!!!

Walker Kessler and Cam Johnson would be my targets

Instead of thinking of it as a Laker tax, think of it more of a small market tax.

Make a list of previous lakers Randel kuz Ingram kcp coruso Drummond remind us of how good we had it

Max Lewis played great too.

Every day I wake up and consider myself lucky that the lakers have not changed their roster

Trevor thanks again for your hard work and dedication in making these highly informative videos. I hope today there’s trades going down to improve the team. Grant, Trent Jr and Wendell Carter or Robert William’s lll coming to the Lakers for our new center!!!!!! From the words of Kevin Garnett “Anything Is Possible “

Ain’t no more big times free agent since Demar went to kings miss out on that all we can really do if trade only way u sign Gary Trent if u trade Dlo and Vincent for a center which is much needed

The group think on Lavine is so crazy. Guy averages 25-5-5 on 45%-40%-90%. He would immediately be the 3rd best player on the Lakers and it's not even close. Lakers roster is full of BUMS!

Unless you get a big 7' 2" or more, I don't think bringing in these guys will make any positive impact. The game is changing, and 6'10" guys are the new power forwards and nothing else.

Jalen hood for Jevon Carter 1st rnd and a 2nd pick and match salary for Kessler And maybe Dlo, Gabe 1st and two 2nd’s for Bruce Brown? Maybe a three team to dump Gabe’s salary? This possible?

At this point just moving deck chairs on the Titanic, silly.

There's gotta be AT LEAST ONE person on this planet over 6'8", decent at basketball, and ready to play for the Lakers....

I’m here to see connect 4 go

I totally understand that a lot of these videos are pure speculation. But, why speculate about players/positions that we're already deep in? Reaves and Christie are slated to take up most of the 2 guard minutes (unless you're trading one of those guys). Vando, and Knecht project to play the majority of SF minutes ( unless one of those guys are traded. and, Max Lewis has been making a case for playing time consideration. maybe move Knecht to the G-league if you feel he isn't ready). What we need is to make a move, to clear space for a solid big. Other than that, I'm cool with running this team back.

Gary Trent Jr will demand at least 11 million dollars.

Is there not one guy in the g league who can be our backup center ?

There really isn’t any guard I’m willing to give up for a bad defender, bad shooter and who scored 13.7 PPG last season. Do you guys not see this?? We have other poor defenders who shoot better and average more on a better team. The Raptors were a bad team last year. If he was special then he woulda been better.

We need a CENTER. Stop with these guards. AD doesn't wanna play Center. Either blow it up or get a MF CENTER. We drafted 2 guards😴

That’s a terrible idea. No short guards!

Until a player who could move the needle becomes available, why use what little cap space you have on barrel scrapers? It's the same as last year with prince and reddish. They managed to get rid of prince but are stuck with reddish because they were stupid enough to give him a player option. Stop with the roster churning ideas that have no impact.

Hinson shoots like that more often than not

No Gary Trent. We need a big man. 🥱

Paul reed has been waived a target? A roster spot needs to be cleared for sure.

SG heavy WOW would like to see Lonzo Ball at this point an need of another PG maybe getting cut Trent Jr only make sense if there a trade coming... DLO to the Magic.. Rui Hachimura to the Jazz something a brewing Lakers Nation

It’s funny cuz most of these players aren’t as good as Dlo but ppl will be happy “just to make a move “ he will stay or be moved at trade deadline but it has to be for someone better let’s not settle just to make a move.

I'd rather keep D Lo and trade Reaves as Reaves is to inconsistent but has a high trade value and could get more for him. No way I want to see both starting plus we know D Lo will play well during the season at least.

Just watching on T.V. right now & there's no Bronny James today!

We have hiding in the summer league how about signing some of those players

At this point it's all bad no good players left to trade for

Portland trade idea LAL: Hachimura JHS Vincent DLo Lewis 1st protected top pick Portland: Simons Grant LAL starters: AD Grant James Simons Reaves Bench Hayes/Woods Vando/Hinson Christie/Reddish/Knecht Trent Dinwiddie/Bronny/Kuhse

At this point... could we just ask Lebron directly who he wants his donation to benefit ?

Hopefully. Deezam we haven’t done shid to this roster. I thought we might be able to pull of Miles Bridges but nope. Smfh.

We are confused . We need too much. We need a center . When we are healthy we are good . All these speculations

Next we're going to read that he signed with the Spurs, Kings, or Clippers. Stop telling our plans to everybody

Kessler on a rookie contract for under 5 million...go get him or Brook or Wendell

At this point, we just pick a name out of a box. Just expect the unexpected. Any video about you make will result in that player going elsewhere 😂

Spencer was absolutely horrible in the playoffs. There was a stretch when only Prince gave us something off the bench.

This year free agency wasn’t that great with the exception of Paul George who was the only superstar out there, Lakers shooting their shot mid season like always

the jordan poole comment is outrageously absurd

Everybody is always an option until those people are not. Lebron at 40yrs old plus this incompetent and understaffed front office is not appealing to free agents and trade candidates. Not even the thought of playing with AD, if Bron is injured or after he retires, is good enough. Add in a 1st time head coach at ANY level and we are not a destination. The Laker brand is a fading light and it hurts to say that being a fan for over 35 years. JJ and the FO is going to have to prove otherwise in the coming years to get back that luster.

Don’t try to bring a guy in to score like the guys we have on the team already

I'll take GTJ. I doubt Rob can get it done though.

Rob not going to do anything 😅stop all those. They don’t want to trade any picks either. Those minimum guys we don’t want are staying and no one wants DLO. This is our team, simple as that!

"Where they go on the trade market" they arent gonna do anything....wake up

Cam and Cwood could be waived

Dinwiddie would be better as our starter and Trent as the backup! Tyrus jones is undersized and he would get cooked in the west just like D Lo and Austin! Im good on him

Is Jermie Grant a big man.? Lakers need a big Center.

Every time someone comes up, you guys talk about their defense or lack there of. But y’all are obsessed w keeping Austin Reeves like y’all make no sense. This is why no one wants to play for this team and their fans!

Gary Trent Jr is a waste of time for this team. It won't work. The Lakers don't need more offense. We need defense, and in particular, a player that will hide our faults. Trent Jr. Sounds like a move designed to make Pelinka look like he is doing something, not what we need, just something. Laker nation, don't fall for the bait and switch.

Everybodys a fckn option or targets.....then NOTHING gets done🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ WE NEED BOB NOT ROB!!

I can’t believe you’re making a video about Gary Trent jr. He’s absolutely no different to the bums like wesley Matthews and others we’ve had in recent years. He doesn’t improve the team at all and the downfall of the lakers is hilarious. I am a Lebron fan first and it’s hilarious how bad lakers after after 2010

Isn't Cam Johnson hurt a lot?

Drastic self IMPROVEMENT, & a hard look in the mirror, & the mamba mentality will become CLEARER 🔙🔚🔚🔜( keep the team as it is! How about mfs truly work on their game, instead of just accepting the FAME 🤔🤨🎃 & actually love the game obsessively!

Lakers front office never fails to disappoint.

What about Shanghai Bronny
