Everything about trades make me nervous in this scenario like sheesh I low key love this team but Ik something gotta change I hope we can get all started caliber without trading dlo and reeves I Fck with the core
Why didnt we get kyrie when there was a golden chance
Lakers march schedule is as such because the NBA wants its be product out for nationally televised games. Why would the NBA want le ron playi g the Pistons or Hor ets at that time?
I think a combination of Brogdon or Rozier, and O’Neale or DFS sounds very sexy to me. Lakers would have a legit starting 5. You would get shooting and defense with each player. You would get good point of attack defenders which will help Reaves. You would get a legit 3&D wing with either O’Neale or DFS which will help LeBron on defense. Lakers have shown they can play with the best, but they struggle to knock down enough 3s. How many games would the lakers have won if they just shot league average from 3s?
Tyus Jones only makes sense if you are upgrading Gabe Vincent. I would rather keep DLo over Sexton bcuz it’s not enough of an upgrade to sacrifice assets, and the chemistry DLo has with the team.
Trevor this was a great video. Started my day with this and some coffee. Keep up the hard work laker nation. Also I think we should go for Murray his athleticism alone is top tier 👌
Lakers Get Murray and Bey, Hawks Get Gordon Hayward plus lakers 1st pick, Hornets get DLO, Mills, and JHS.
Numbers don't lie or make excuses, people do. Ar (defensive liability) is not any more valuable to the team then dlo (compare their stats). Bottom line ar should be on the trading block just as much as anybody else!!! Let Castleton get some playing tonight, he can't do worse than jackson Hayes.
There is no team who has won off of only defense. The old grizzlies were beasts on defense. But like the Lakers now, they only focused on defense and never won. That's where they are at. When you think going 3 to 5 minutes and Noone cane score is cool that's a problem. But all I'm hearing is defense. Ok I'll just listen to all the whinning when they lose. Just like it wasn't the coach, but all I hear is a certain player is being used wrong.
Laker fans should look at all these comments saying trade Dlo but none saying trade Reaves.Dlo has way more impact on winning and losing.
The Mavs missed a lot of open 3s that wasn’t the result of good defense by the Lakers ,defending 3 point shots is still weakness that teams will exploit
i think cam starts when hes back instead of prince. hes almost as good on defense as vando, almost as good on offense as prince, but much better on offense than vando.
I believe Darvin Ham is finally listening to our players. Dlo needs screens with AD. Helps him and AD. Gives Dlo the ability to be aggressive. People have to pay attention to AD.
I think if we trade Rui we will regret it, He has been lights out in the postseason his whole career especially last year. He had several games where he was the 2nd best player on our team next to Bron. He needs more minutes as well, I would NOT trade Rui!! In my opinion.
If the team plays really well up until the deadline, they may not make a move at all by the trade deadline.
Why is he always bringing up the lakers trying to get under the cap, like the lakers are not the most lucrative franchise in the nba, warriors, clippers, suns, do you think they care about the cap, no they spend to win
As long as Vando and Rui are healthy and getting as many minutes as Prince this team will keep improving. The pressure Vando puts on other teams changes the flow of the game and it distracts the other team from settling into their offense. Especially these younger teams. I’m excited to finally see this team healthy. Please don’t trade DLo. We can’t replace the chemistry with him and AD! Go Lakers!
Trade talks stress me out when are winning an ww are healthy
Now of these players mention to trade for are just overhyped that wannabe gopher gm will do that's his mobe of weak operation. The only thing that LeBron/AD needs is Kuzma/Tyus, shooters. WTF UP!! Trade Vando after the season. Get Hayes a BIG NMan Coach!! Coach Handy should have been the HC
We don’t need Sexton. Good player, but we’re not lacking a power guard.
Defensively, we’re lacking a quick first step guard that can get out and guard the countless quick point guards in the league. Especially the ones that move a lot without the ball. Colin would be good at guarding stockier guards, but we already have Bron, Vando, Rui, and Cam for that…
Offensively, we’re missing a guard that consistently moves without the ball. Movement creates space for others, forces defensive activity and helps our offense not be so static and easy to guard. He doesn’t have to be a dead eye from three. The movement and activity is more important imo. Just have a reasonably reliable jump shot. This iso-heavy, slow to set up pick and roll, constant three point hunting offense is just the James Harden Rockets but with none of the three point shooters they had 😂
There’s only one guy that would help the Lakers win the chip. If they got Chuck Norris, they would go undefeated. Opponents would be too scared and just forfeit.
Prince is the best 3 pt shooter in team. 40 percent. Lakers have nobody else besides him and lbj that are close to that. That’s why all the minutes
Why can’t it be Gabe and JHS and draft equity for either Caruso or DFS?
The line up that will dominate is D lo, AR15 ,AD, King 👑 James and Wood at center. Period. Nobody will be able to match up. We dont use the roster at all. I dont care what yall say.
I still prefer Lavine over anything Trevor discussed.
If i could wave a magic wand, we'd get Capella as a back up on the boards and Colin Sexton.. Dlo or AR could go but not both… Wood, Gabe, cam & a 1st
Keep the current roster and acquire Sexton and/or Murray, if possible. If a deep run can consume the luxury tax. Golden state has the largest luxury tax. They won the title 4 times in the last 9 years.
No big trades pls
Vando should be starting. Prince is really good but I think we're putting too much pressure on him and he would do better coming off the bench
I don’t want Austin playing point again.
Brogdon + Bogda ( pistons) throw Vincent, Reddish, Christie + picks
DLO. Was tanking to piss the lakers off recently , now he’s playing ok and he’s when he plays like this we look great but… hes doesn’t play like this enough like play offs last season he was horrid
I'll get crucified for saying this but I'd rather trade Rui than DLO
LAvine rolled his ankle last night agaisnt the Raps…. trade price going down even more, keep waiting Lakers close to deadline, Chicago is in no place to make demands. Get him for D Lo/Vincent/JHS/Reddish…….
I still believe we need more athleticism at the G positions. Reaves and DLo can get buckets, but can’t guard a fence post. Obviously, Reaves has a better contract than DLo… and holds more value in the trade market.
If the team can improve, it should do so. As long as Lebron is on the roster, it has to be a “win now” mentality.
March schedule who care 😡u want to be championship u have to beat those teams
We never needed a trade, we just needed the players in trade talks to raise their levels of play.
Please have Jovan on here more often. Appreciate his insight!
Go get Murray, Tyus Jones, and Finney Smith. TRADE DLO, VINCENT, AND HAYES
Tre Young for D. Lo , Rui , picks and parts
I'll keep reaves even tho at both of their best d-lo is better but he's way too inconsistent and reaves defense really sucks but he'll give you 15-20 every night you know what you're getting plus he can hit big moment clutch shots better d-lo has to go just trade him for a better defensive and consistent shooting guard that's why d-lo for Murray is the perfect was to go or at least get someone to take shroder spot until vincent get healthy that's been a major problem that bench guard to come in when he's struggling so trade something for that guard from the wizards or one of those guys with the blazers like brogdon or something like that and the team is perfect and that little kink will make them a title team
I still believe you make marginal upgrade trades. There’s a way the lakers can pull off Caruso, DFS and nick Richard’s trades without giving up a first!!
