Lakers make no moves at deadline, Surprised LeBron stayed put? | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST

I just think they’re a terribly run team that nobody talks about like they are what were they going to do I don’t I don’t know what were they ship out three role players to bring three new ones in and no have them adjust to the get

Better in the margins at the very least do I think that Daniel gaffard is a world changer for Dallas no but Dallas got rid of someone they were not using at all to get incrementally better do I think that Gordon Hayward is going to make the difference for the number one

Seat Oklahoma City Thunder no but they got marginally better I the lake Rob binka has tried for three years to pry buddy heel from the Pacers cold dead hands and it turns out darl mury can get him for cork M and three second round picks and then and then you have one

Team that I do think got a lot better in the Knicks a Knicks team that the best trade anybody made was the anobi trade but that was a week ago but then the Knicks adding who they did in adding bdon would bdon bogdanovich boyon bogdanovich help

The Los Angeles Lakers of course he’s a guy bogdanovich is a guy that we have talked about being a guy that would fit with shooter around LeBron my point is I am not mad that they didn’t so you know mortgage the entire future for dejonte Murray or something I get that but so

Often the Lakers are just sitting there with the plan is don’t worry the star come here and I just find it maddening I find it I don’t agree with that now look I’ll say this quickly I do think Buddy Hill could help brog donovic could help

And Royce O’Neal who went to Phoenix I think that was a good move they made a couple of decent moves Xavier as a backup center said Jackson a so there some things that can help got him but I also think look they went out and got Russell Westbrook and I don’t think that

I never thought that was a good move but I’m just saying we can’t say they’ve turned over the roster several times over the last few years they are trying moves and it is a difficult thing to adjust to playing with LeBron because he’s so good he’s he does so much like

It’s you don’t just put put somebody in there right next to LeBron and all of a sudden it goes swimmingly unless all they can do is Catch and shoot yeah that’s or or defend and don’t do anything on offense a guy that can do something on his own is going to be an

Adjustment that’s why I said rather than bring in some role players and again if you can get these guys for nothing what one of them would have helped but let D’Angelo keep adjusting to LeBron it’s been a while now but you know get I think they need to just hone in on what

They do and look I don’t see them as winning the west but I didn’t I don’t think there was a minor move they could have made that would have got them to win the West I just the the the reason the healed thing is irritating is because there’s

Always been I know Laker fans think there’s like this Laker tax like team don’t want to trade guys the Lakers because of jealousy or whatever it is I don’t know how real that is or isn’t there does seem to be a Rob pink attacks that this guy was an agent forever and a

Lot of people I you know didn’t have greatest relationships because they were running teams he was trying to get the best for his clients and now you see moves that he is unable to make unless it is take everything we have or we will take on your toxic stuff like the

Anthony Davis trade was Anthony Davis made it clear I want to go there and then the Lakers gave them every possible asset they could give them and yes they got him the Russell Westbrook trade you gave away 125 cents on the dollar when I look at that we know the Lakers in

Various times have targeted and prioritized buddy heeld and he goes for Marcus Morris who has now already been reshipped and bought out Cork and three second round picks like that to me says something something is a miss here and if the plan then is but don’t worry

While I couldn’t pull off the Buddy heel deal I’ll be able to pull off the next Superstar not free agent signing but trade I’m skeptical of it I’m just skeptical of it BR your optimism around the Lakers is what they’re in ninth place they’re 27 and 25 they’re 10 and

17 on the road and they host Denver tonight and and wild says this as a must win I have this as a must win they’ve lost six in a row and a must win that’s what we should talk about against the world s i called I called the opening

Game of the season a must-win yeah and guess what I was right because Denver is in first place and the Lakers are in ninth and you guys are complaining they didn’t make enough moves well here’s where I’m at on the Lakers do I think they’re going to win the West no but

Going into the a playoff series I think Denver obviously you say they they’re not gonna beat Denver I would say if the Clippers are healthy they’re not going to beat the Clippers okay OKC all these teams are better right now than Lakers but OKC Minnesota SOA Sacramento New Orleans they’re young

You just don’t know it would LeBron and AD be able to beat those guys in a seven game series maybe Phoenix and Dallas Phoenix I think got better today and they look pretty good lately but still it’s not like LeBron and AD couldn’t play with dur so I’m just

Saying there’s a shot against some of these teams not Denver and that is I that that is my frustration is we go up and down that list the I see the stand you agreee with what I said I agree with a lot of what you said but the point

That I am making is this Oklahoma City made a move today to get better the Clippers made a move earlier obviously this year to substantially change their team the Suns operated in the margins today Dallas operated in the margins today to get incrementally better even

If I am not you do not trade future first to get incrementally better but none of those teams did they the Lakers have Gabe vinon on ice who’s been injured he was their big freee agent acquisition his salary plus a second round pick could have gotten you a rotational player that instead you’re

Going to have to play against because those teams you’re competing with got those rotational players that is what’s frustrating okay let’s that was a good take thanks for watching subscribe here to get more from the show and to check out clips from other shows on FS1
