Did the Lakers’ front office really do as well as it seems even though they didn’t land a major impact piece? Plus an argument for who to target on the free agent big market and what to look for in today’s Lakers vs Spurs Summer League game with Trevor Lane…

I don't usually comment, but I had to for this masterpiece. Amazing!
I would really like dewayne dedmon as 14th player, it's a relaiable player night in night out for what we need
You just talking this episode. There’s ways the lakers could’ve put another big beside AD. They’re stuck on this making AD play center when we literally won a championship with AD playing PF
I think Christian Wood is a better fit with AD on the floor than Jaxson Hayes. Wood is a better shooter from 3 and will stretch the floor more than Hayes. I think they can close games with Wood and AD on the floor. I think Hayes will be on the bench late in the 4th.
Trevor, are you afraid to say “Kobe Bryant” ?
GET BOL BOL. DON’T FUCK THIS UP.
The argument you made for Wood is the same thing I can see with Bol Bol if they don’t want to commit to him long term, Bol Bol is fucking with the NBA politics, I know he just wants an opportunity to hoop so his talent can speak for itself… my boy likes fashion and hoops, his talent and vibe should make him all the money in the world alone.
Christian wood is a minus one playing D
I would listen to an entire channel of just explaining history like that!
BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL BOL.
Trevor, my Dude, you're a saint! Your patience with questions, your audience interaction, critics, etc. In all the time I've been a sub, I don't think I've ever seen you even "smirk" at the stupid shit people write. That said, I won't clutter the page with my personal views on the topic, and "trust", I have a few, but i digress; this comment is for you!
First Thing we need a 8-2 start and 60-65 wins with AD and LJ playing injury free for 45 games then with 35-10 record we can assess free agency in a meaningful way – ahhh no more Beasley or Beverly or Troy ( that's a pseudo upgrade
Especially if they're STUPID …you can't say it Trevor, but I CAN….people get frustrated regarding certain moves, because they don't fully understand the nuance of contracts, caps, etc…only partially explains it…for a full explanation, they're mostly stupid. Not their fault tho….probably have stupid parents
Lakers improved their roster on paper
Lakers got players for what they could afford, which is an incredible feat.
What Trevor is basically saying is that most Laker fans lack critical thinking skills. There I said it 🤭
I doubt Dallas would help the Lakers but a double sign n trade of Mo Bamba and a couple 2nd Rd picks for Christian Wood would be nice since he wouldn't take the vet minimum.
A perfect video illustrating how often Trevor is just outright wrong. Remember when Trev proclaimed the Lakers would get Kyrie Irving the day before the Mavs grabbed him? 19:50 he just outright lied. No one said the Lakers won that offseason. As a matter of fact, most people didn't think the Lakers would even make the playoffs and the ones who did said they were a play in or first round team at best. No one thought Russ was going to be great with Lebron. Literally no one.
Trevor ur being too humble, u know this team is a legit championship contender.
A- grade in free agent.
The only center lakers could get that can play against denver is tristan thompson
Rui did a great job on him
Rui bron ad are gonna be your 3 4 5 in playoffs no matter what
Problem was dlo and murray
Yes darvin let him get going when we had game 2 won
Then he came put like michael jordan in game 3
So thompson played terrific and to play him rui or ad had to be benched
And maybe wed have won game 4
Had ad not came in and not be able to close out on a 3pt shooter without fouling again
But darvin also waited till game 4 to bench dlo so
Next year is he gonna make the tuff decisions thats the only way the lakers can beat denver
They do need another big
They had 4 on thier roster last year and with jones not showing up injuries and pelinka giving up on bryant
We only had 1 healthy big weyan gaberiel
And this year we only have hayes and ad
Bol bol would be a weapon for the lakers but they need a switchy screen setting big thats tt
Thats fine not playing
BIYOMBO = BALANCE
The best shot blocker available! He’s been in the NBA a while he’s a grown up !
So let me getbthis straight the lakers at last yrs trade deadline make the necessary trades after a horrible start then free agency they get better get more shooters get younger and most important wings who can play defense and give lebron the rest he needs. Now all of a sudden they really did not get better according to Bontemps. When the lakers win the chip this year these same detractors will be saying it was free agency is the reason.
Can’t really get any worse than a 2-10 start last year. If they start better and finish decent we can rest toward the end in the same way Denver did. People acting like that was not a factor for them. We were definitely tired
Don't trust that guy Tim Bontemps! He always have something against to say about the Lakers.
THE LAKERS GOT WHAT THEY COULD WITH WHAT THEY HAD! NOT WHAT THEY REALLY WANTED! THAT'S ALL!!! DON'T NEED TO BE A GENIUS TO FIGURE THIS OUT! SO STOP ASKING WHY THIS AND NOT THAT!
The good thing about this is lebron can rest and dlo rui austin can carry the team on given nights so the regular season will be much easier and from the beginning will have continuity i dont see what other teams have done unless the suns gel and or giannis comes back with a flawless 3 i dont see a favorite and lakers are right there.
WHY WE OVER THINKING the third center…BRING TRISTAN BACK
Hey Trevor. Can you guys do a show on: How much Cap Space/Potential FA Options for next Summer after LeBron leaves to go play with his kid?
Chipotle good!😋
if you're not satisfied by the moves pelinka made this offseason then you'll never be satisfied….we got so many quality players on a bargain and most fans still have to complain about something that they dont understand
