Never had a top 10 offense as a Laker… #11 won the title and #19 made the conference finals. Part of this is obviously due to Lebron declining but we’ve had three coaches in 6 years and can’t build a top 10 offense around Lebron James and Anthony Davis. Hope we can right the ship.

the key to lebron winning has always been a big 3, we need to trade for lavine
We just have way to many 1 way players
The Lakers need to get rid of slow, me-first players (D’Lo) and replace them with high-effort, team-oriented players. The couch obviously lost the locker room, so bring in new energy there as well.
Its no surprise the offense has always been great whenever he has shooters around him. Add another dominant big in paint like AD, surrounding them flatout shooters is like the most obvious thing.
Top 5 every year with Ty Lue on the bench
That 2018 Lebron was special
2 Offense in 2011 and still got ran by Dirk and the Pips. 🤣
I’m sure him having great coaches helped to some degree. I know Spo and Lue weren’t “the one’s” yet, when they coached LeBron, but they probably still weren’t as bad as the one’s he’s had through the rest of his career.
Man that shit is depressing.
Lakers have always put non shooters around Lebron
Spo and lue could actually coach an offense
2020 was top 5 before bubble. And that year was severely limited defensively only players who could only shoot wide open threes at a bottom ten %, n fell off offensively when Bron sat. 21 the offence was good untill Bron injury
It isn’t his fault.
That #11 in the 19-20 season is kinda misleading cause they had #4 offense when the league shut down, and then we tanked that rating hard once we secured first seed in the bubble regular season.
This just shows that Pelinka and the FO have failed Bron and AD to surround them with the right pieces after 2020. Wasted potential smh
The Lakers need to get Zach Lavine and another big, that way the offense will never stagnate. They can always have a combination of zach / lebron and ad / another big to score at will. defense will always be good as long as ad and lebron are on the team.
If hypothetically, LeBron wanted out after this year, what would yall think an acceptable package would be in a potential sign and trade?
This is an awesome graph.
LeBron joining could’ve been a revival of the Lakers but without badly most of the years have gone, I think the team will end up back in the 2014-2017 era with no free agents wanting to join unless Jeanie sells the team. LA is still appealing for players and the Lakers have some legacy to live off of, but the reputation has to have gone down. Imagine if a retired Bron and Klutch unofficially condemn the front office and scare players away.
Talk about wasting a window….
What an embarrassment for the franchise man
What metric is this
I honestly thought our offense was better the year after the bubble than the championship season.
So 2020-2021 is what suprises me.
Looking at the one good year for the Lakers, maybe we an owe Rambis an apology for forcing Kidd on Vogel’s staff.
Ugh, this just reminds me of 2018 playoffs Bron. That’s the greatest player I’ve ever seen. He seemed in control of every single facet of the game.
