The Lakers Are About to Make a Big Mistake
How is almost no one talking about a huge NBA story LeBron James could leave the Lakers to play with brony my last year will be played with my son wherever Bron’s at that’s where I’ll be I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year people say he’ll never
Leave LA but imagine how excited we’re all going to be on draft night just waiting to see who takes Brony and the Lakers are making it real easy for LeBron to say goodbye dude hates his own coach that is obvious darham keeps playing weird lineups like starting
Torian Prince every game but the owner jeie bus refuses to move on I mean Giannis wants Adrien Griffin fired he’s gone the next day LeBron doesn’t have that power anymore apparently and the roster is 24 and 24 two wins better than this time last year with Russell
Westbrook and LeBron and AD are healthy so when LeBron extended his contract he gave himself in out this summer he can decide this ain’t working I’m playing with bronny so what can the Lakers do to save their season well unfortunately the rumors are bad the athletic says dejonte
Murray Remains the Lakers top priority in the trade market according to multiple team and League sources that’s bad because of the two other options La has on the table we will discuss those and where LeBron could go next but they tried to get Dante already La officially offered Deonte Murray for D’Angelo
Russell jayen Hood chafino the 2029 first and 2030 swap hey the Hawks said they wanted two first round picks but said no why cuz they don’t want DLo he’s got a player option at the end of this year for 18.6 million Atlanta doesn’t want to be on the hook so they demand
Either Austin Reeves or a third team to take DLo so far nothing has happened but this deal is so close to getting done the problem is what the Lakers could do instead but first today’s video sponsor is Underdog fantasy and I am especially loving Underdog right now in January and
February basketball we need a little Spice in our life whenever guys aren’t dropping 70 but hope you pick one of those 70p Point scores on pick them where you pick higher or lower and you can up to 20 extra money in a single night plus Underdog is air dropping a

The most rebounds and assists in the NBA and then Wendell Carter we’re going to go over for his rebounds he has gone over this number five of the last six and best of luck if you take those picks but check out this map to see if Underdog is available in your area and

Allstar on the market the Hawks are guaranteed to get rid of him cuz things are toxic Atlanta got him to pair with Trey young but it’s been a disaster not only have they not jelled on offense but Murray left his defense in San Antonio the team looks miserable on the court
And deon’s private d D Ms confirm that first he responded to fans who ripped his defense saying they are lame as F then this DM got leaked come watch practice and see a team that plays together then watch games and see another team told one thing in practice
And when the real games start it’s a totally different game come see how long I actually get to make decisions as a playmaker ask every player on this team this year and last year are they happy oh that sounds like some Trey young problems and look I’m not trying to be a
Hater but I mean you know know he’s saying use one way in practice different way in games doesn’t get to be a playmaker ask other people if they’re happy I mean it’s just we’ve heard this before but this isn’t even about Trey obviously deante wants to run the show
Does he even watch the Lakers I mean LeBron makes so many decisions on that team Austin Reeves handles the ball a ton but his real issue is defense Deon as a reputation as a Lockdown Defender he hadn’t been that in 2 years look at how great he used to be in San Antonio
The youngest player in history to make all NBA defense but in Atlanta he’s got problems with screens here Donovan Mitchell easily creates a two-on-one same thing against the Warriors no problem one onone Malachi Flynn beats him off the dribble he gets lost trying to guard spider Mitchell now you might
Say oh he’ll improve in La we don’t know that so it would be a mistake for them to trade for Deonte Murray but but there are two better options and both send out D’Angelo Russell I know he has been a good player recently but he isn’t trade
Talks cuz the Lakers know who he really is the last seven games DLo has 21 points and six assists 52% from three he was even seen crying on the bench because he loves being a Laker but the problem is he is a different guy in the playoffs it’s been this way his whole
Career in the regular season 18 points assist 43% from the field 37% from three that tanks in the postseason it was so bad in Minnesota the Wolves had to bench him in their biggest moment of the Year taking horrible shots got hunted on defense had multiple turnovers in the
Fourth quarter so his backup played in crunch time instead same thing happened last year he was unplayable against the Nuggets some guys get better in the playoffs some guys get worse DLo has shown us who he is so sell high on D’Angelo Russell for the two other
Options and the first is to trade for role players some amazing names are out there Bruce Brown Alex Caruso Dorian finny Smith Royce O’Neal how great would the Lakers be with two of them instead of deante Murray I mean think about the blueprint to win the 2020 title surround
LeBron and ad with a 3 and D rotation but how can they actually get this done well the Raptors put the price for Bruce Brown at one pick and a young player Alex Caruso the Bulls want two first round picks so instead of dejonte the Lakers get Bruce Brown for D’Angelo
Russell Max Christie and a 2028 swap that’s control of one first round pick then they get Caruso for Gabe Vincent the 2029 first and the 2030 swap control of two of the Laker picks now his swap isn’t a first round pick technically but it’s a bet that the Lakers will be bad
After LeBron and AD and look if that doesn’t work they still have two other swaps and four second round picks to put in any deal they can get this done if they have to go cheap they can get one of those really good guys and Royce
O’Neal can be had as a cheaper option but the third option is to trade zero picks at the deadline if they do that La will have three firsts to trade this off season Once the Pelicans protections are lifted it frees up draft Capital then La
Has tons of assets to make a huge trade this off season the key is who becomes available this off season I would look at Trey young Donovan Mitchell or Darius Garland because the Cavs have played so well with just one of them and rumors Say Jimmy Butler could be available the
Only way to get in those talks is to wait for the off season but if things go south and LeBron wants to play with bronny where does he go well maybe this is the Sixers master plan they could draft Brony and they have a ton of cap
Space available to sign LeBron or maybe the Cavaliers want another reunion and it’s enough talent to put their young roster over the top maybe the Warriors if LeBron would opt into his final year and they deal some young guys and picks but it’s the biggest story in the NBA
And the Lakers can squash it all with the right trade but speaking of plan B’s the Warriors are basically out of options I mean plan a was a trade to save the season Pascal seum ogan anobi off the board but I’m surprised no one is talking about the other crazy plan to
Save Steph Curry

The Lakers will be one of the most active teams in the trade market as their season just keeps getting worse. But underneath all of this is the threat that LeBron James could leave to join his son next year if things don’t get better. They might panic into a bad move and this video explains what that could look like.

Great content man. A lot effort was put into this. Appreciate you and keep it up. Got a subscription from me
I’m confused, Lakers won the offseason 😂
Taurean Prince is literally statue on offense.
Bro I think you are running at 500 in your takes 😂
I said to a friend the other day, what do you think?
Hornets are tanking to get Bronny,
then we get LeBron,
then we still suck
Lebron will buy team and move to Las Vegas!
In China?
Send LeBron to USC
Ill stay put and wait to try to swing a trade for Donavan Mitchell or embid
He's going to golden State next year
Bronny will be there year after next
So LeBum is playing in China his last year?
Beautiful analysis.. I agree with your sentiment about the role players
The LAKERS should trade D'ANGELO RUSSELL for CJ MCCOLLUM
Trade the coach. Not the players
He can play with Bronny on the Shanghai sharks. Bronny is not an NBA level player
Austin reeves in Atlanta would be nasty af
Sorry, LeGM is washed. Trade him.
Can't believe LeBron is gonna end his career as a piston
lol every time you involve the raptors in a trade you’re sending Toronto trash lol
The Lakers will ALWAYS be bad while LeBron is there!!!! No stars want to play with LeBron. When he does leave all the best players will want to join the Lakers. Why would you have a 39 year-old as your leader?
Big News: LeBron will go to USC and play college basketball with his son.
LeBron saying that made Bronny a 2nd round pick/undrafted player into a lottery pick. After LeBron retires, Bronny will be in the G-league to work on his game. He should stay in college longer but would be stupid if he does due to his dad saying he will go where he goes.
Trade the TO King
isnt is possible to get Bronny to Lakers?
We all know the only trade that really makes sense: Send Lebron to the Wizards! For Kuzma, Tyus Jones and Avdija. Add Kuzma and Jones, a solid point guard, to the Lakers, they'll be really good. And Lebron can further follow MJ's path, like he chose Nr. 23 and made Space Jam 2, and end his career in Washington, just like his idol.
I don't see why we're still discussing trades as if the Lakers are or can be a contender. We should be talking about a rebuild already because this team ain't winning a chip.
LBJ will not leave the Lakers.
Cant wait for this clown to retire.
He's gonna be in the d league with his son where he actually belongs
Bronny needs to stay and develop at USC for 1 more year, he's clearly not ready. The only aspect of his game thats somewhat NBA ready is his defense, everything else needs alot of work. He'd just be rushing himself if he declares for the draft after the season is over💯
What dumb team would waste a draft pick on bronny and an old always complaining no defense lebron?
Wow the amount of hate in these comments
LBJ is averaging 25/7/7 and they call him washed
He barely gets calls even though he drives to the rim alot
Hes literally shooting 40% from 3 and his midrange has improved as well just hate with the lame excuses
The reasons teams like wolves and ybe nuggets dont get coverage is cause they are small teams only loved by their own city
this is why teams suck whenever he leaves. they literally sacrifice their future for superstars lol
Detroit should take Bronny.. solves many things..
Murray lack of defense is seen very clearly because the other guard doesn’t know how to defend.
Lbj biggest fraud ever.. PEDS issue and now lakers rigging games just for them to reach playoffs. 💀💀💀
The Lakers made a big mistake when they signed LeBron 2018. Their biggest mistake would be not trading LeBron while they can. At this point Bronny isn't good enought to play college ball, never mind the NBA.
I'd take Murray's dms with a pinch of salt, considering how he felt Pop was playing "mind games" with him during his stint with the Spurs. He's good but always looking for excuses. That's not the way to greatness.
Bron is not gonna be ready in one year so more than likely next year gone be the year he goes
His Son is Trash Nobody wants him LeFruad needs to get off my Lakers Team he has destroyed my Franchise.
Youre assuming teams want dlo
Lebum made this team. Cry me a river
