Please that white devil should’ve not backstabbed magic

Pelinka is a snake. His best skill is manipulating Jeanie in to keeping his job. He will find somebody to blame like JJ if the season doesn’t go well

They won’t even make the play in next year! They did nothing to help this roster

Fire, YOU!

@@raymondtuckerjr1886 your account has been suspended and reported on Monday for violating rules on you tube

and now we dont even have a T Prince anymore. we keep letting the wrong people go. that includes DLO eventually.

That’s part of why I say fifth. That’s assuming they’re relatively healthy. Basically adding Vando and Gabe (and even Max)

@@jovanbuhaso no trading vando especially if he’s healthy because of the defense

@jovanbuha If the Lakers end up running it back, the upside is continuity. It wouldn't be ideal, but that's still something to feel good about.

Haha let’s goooo

He’s so incompetent

And them playing the Olympics will add to their body's wear and tear. The Lakers should get a big that can support AD. Try gettin Walker Kessler for 1st pick and salary.

Coaching matters and coach Ham was no bueno

@@appetizerssushi7121players matter more, we have no 2way players. No coach is winning with so many players that can’t share floor together.

That's not happening again, says YOU...and you are, ?!

@@raymondtuckerjr1886 It’s not. Lebron and AD have averaged something like 50-55 games per season as Lakers before last year. Now they’re playing in the Olympics, when Reaves played for Team USA he was worn the hell out half of the season after and he was like 25, Bron is 39.. I’m someone that has been watching the NBA for 30 years that can foresee an obvious trend, who are you?

That won’t work

Makes sense to me, DLo can't score every game, he needs a few ZERO games to be DLo. Let's be honest these days 3 point sharpshooting has become the number 1 offensive play.

OKC gets better this offseason but still needs veteran leader off the bench or in locker room, Minnesota regressed a bit losing kyle anderson a rotation player for them also denver regressed but i think they are still in the contending position, Grizlies are back in playoffs hunt, Warriors gets better replacing klay and cp3 with young defender in melton and wing anderson and shooting like hield, Rockets still in playoffs mix unless injury happens, dallas upgraded their roster with klay unloading thj contract and adding naji marshal, spurs need more pieces but they can be in play in mix. Pels regressed losing JV and nance even though they add dejounte cj and him is not enough to contend but they are in playoff mix too, kings still in playoffs mix and also suns in playoff mix, lakers depends on injury because their greatest gm off all time retain their glorious in season champ roster

Trade machine approves is portland gonna approve? that's the million dollar question plus is bulls willing to part ways to their picks cause it looks like they are going to rebuild and DLo and rui's market is not great right now for them to flip to any draft capital in the future.

The needs are clear 😂… We lack 2way players, our closing lineup has too many weaknesses which is where we lose so many close games. Our best defender gets played off the floor. Our backcourt can’t defend 😂.. come on man its so obvious lol

in paper, yes in performance and effort i don't think so hayes energy proves useful to them plus wood shooting struggle make him unplayable most of the time

It’s kind of tricky because the Lakers played better after Wood was injured (as they were ascending), so a lot of their best performances were with Hayes instead of Wood (outside of IST and a couple of early signature wins). Hayes was also better in the Boston win, for example. I don’t think it’s a wide gap between them. But from the Lakers’ side, they value Hayes more.

​@@jovanbuhawood was not used properly tho , I mean ham with his bad rotations never let him get in a groove. With JJ focusing on spacing and cutting don't you think he would be a better fit.

My assumption would be that Kuminga would have to be in the deal. Don't see how they can keep him out of it. And Kuminga is worth more than any player the Lakers have to trade (they're not going to trade LeBron or AD and that wouldn't make sense for Utah, anyway).

Like always

Sorry put lick is like

🇵🇷🇵🇷

Why, in your view, would what YOU listed be productive and/or reasonable!?

4 players for one? Wtf are you smokin'?

@@raymondtuckerjr1886 it’s 4/2 and the lakers have to clear roster spots. Any deal needs them to clear at least one spot

If you’re salary-dumping, and not receiving anything back (or like a second or something), you can combine minimums. But can’t do it in a larger trade where you’re combining them to add up to match a salary. It’s really confusing

What lol. If ur stuck now wait till he leaves. Time to be in the gutter for another 10 years good luck

@@hunter-zp2hf what are we winning now ?

@@PYLMedia7 well if u had a competent front office u could compete for a championship. If a.d didn't get hurt Lakers would have been back to back champs. Bron and a.d proved they can lead a team to a chip. When u have those two, why would u not go all in to win instead of rebuild in hopes to find two more guys on their caliber and even make the playoffs in the next 10 years lmfao. Its idiotic to even think about doing that lol.. better be thankful cuz once they leave it's back to being the worst team in the league once again

No better than Portland? How ? They were a play in team last year and now they’re just trash? You know nothing about hoops buddy

@@LucasHiggins-pp3nt every team got better in the west and the Lakers made no moves except for the 2 new rookies. Tell me what teams in the West that the Lakers are better besides Portland and possibly San Antonio only if they don’t get Laurie Markenin.

​@@paulparrinello2526the warriors. Suns. Pelicans... Only teams u can say are better than the Lakers are the thunder Mavs Denver and maybe the wolves

@@hunter-zp2hf you forgot about the Kings! They are already better than the Lakers plus they are about to get Damar Darozen within 24 hours per Woj!

If Johan drops his name that means he does and is legit

I think it mainly comes down to there being a limitation to the Austin-DLo fit and Austin having the better contract. The best version of this team only has one of them + a defensive guard.

If you don’t think DLo’s playoff woes are part of the problem then you don’t know 🏀

@@jovanbuha Agree but Tuckers point is Valid. There is only one perfect team in the NBA, that's the squad which wins the Title. This year it's Boston last year the Nuggets. The other 29 teams have flaws missing parts/injuries to key players are all flaws. A 5 carat Diamond with flaws doesn't have the value of a flawless 5 carat, but it still has great value.. you don't go pawn it or give it away. I would prefer a talented backcourt with flaws, has chemistry, continuity can stack wins during the grueling 82 game season vs a new backcourt every season with some talent but questions marks. They have never played in the fishbowl called the Los Angeles Lakers where every missed shot is magnified, every loss dissected every decision questioned in losses and WINS!

They’ve been a play in the whole time every single year and now it’s changing Mann bogus

Speaking of knowledge....u need to update yours... The Lakers were #8 seed last season and won 47 games and were couple games out of #4.... They might've got there but for our "Ham headed" coaching and some critical injuries to role players. But yeah, one point you're perhaps right about is that LeBron and AD were relatively healthy which is iffy to repeat given their history, age and coming off a busy Olympic summer.

1. I would push back against being a homer. I’m as critical, if not more, than most that cover the team on a daily basis. 2. This assumes that the Lakers played the right players last season and were maximized from a personnel standpoint. That’s incorrect. Taurean Prince played far more than Rui and Vando, which was a clear mistake at the time and was proved once they swapped in Rui and the team took off. 3. They don’t have much perimeter defense, but their two best perimeter defenders, Gabe and Vando, both missed over half the season. That compromised their defense, to an extent. Not saying they would’ve had a good defense, but the drop-off to the other options was steep.

What other teams would you put above them?

Becuase he’s better than dlo/ar/gabe combined 😂 thats why. Not a liability on defense. Which those guys are.
