  1. What do you think the Lakers should hope for with the DLo contract situation? And then how long do you think Lebron will re-sign for? Comment down below!

  2. The PERFECT OFFSEASON- HC DAVID EDLMAN-ass jj reddick
    Trade- dlo and max christie for curso
    Sign derozan with mle AND REMAINING capsapce
    Sign drummond with max vet min with po

  3. Lakers are are good team but we need best defensive center and power forward like vando and Jeremy those high length can rebound,,,, that all we need no need to trade out the team😅

  4. What about giving the players we drafted a shot ? Christie seems like he could be legit, and JHS was playing lights out in the G league. Why not give him like 8-10 minutes starting out

  5. Get DLO out of there. They should have traded him after last years terrible playoff performance

  6. I remember when Lakers fans were trying so hard to convince themselves that Kuzma would be the "third star", or that Schroeder was the third star as best as the Lakers could get, or that Westbrook was gonna be the perfect third star next to LeBron and AD. Well D'Angelo Russell actually IS the third star, he not only set the record for three point shooting on the Lakers, but he was one of the best high volume three point shooters in the league, even a lot of times playing off ball as a spot up shooter. In DLO the Lakers have someone that averaged 18(the same numbers 3rd option stars Bosh and Love put up next to LeBron) on 45.6% from the field and 41% from three. He worked both as the point guard for the team, AND as an off-ball shooter when LeBron wanted to control the game and was highly efficient at both. So Lakers fans had been screaming for a 3rd star that they didn't have to spend a max on and kill their depth, and they got him in DLO, and they take him for granted because of a few bad Playoffs Games. They talk about Game 3 vs The Nuggets, but they don't talk about Games 2, 4 and the end of Game 5. They talk about him coming up short vs Denver last year, but don't talk about the big games he had vs Memphis and Golden State that helped get us to the Western Conference Finals. DLO did precisely what the third star is supposed to do and did it for about $12-$15M less than the other third stars in the league. The Lakers have a gem in DLO at a steal of a price and only those that don't understand basketball would think we'd somehow be better without him.

    Lakers fans always want to talk about how cheap the Front Office is and how they "broke up a Championship team" cause they were impatient, but they don't want to pay the best 3rd option they've ever had in the LeBron/AD pairing because he may want a 3 year deal. Either you want consistency and to pay the players that upped their value or not. You can't keep taking gambles and then when one finally pays off, let them walk. DLO's earned a longer term deal with the Lakers, pay him it, and continue with team consistency. A better Coach should be the priority along with retaining everyone. We all know the reason we were a 47 win team and not a 53-57 win team was Darvin Ham wasting a portion of the season giving Taurean Prince 30 mins a game and playing Cam Reddish and him over DLO and Reaves, and never putting the WCF starting lineup out there to play because he felt Prince and Reddish were better fits…

  7. Y’all are the most ungrateful people in the world!! DLo put up career numbers as the 4th option and became the third option! He put more energy on the defensive end, why KCP didn’t have a good series? DLo has something to do with that!! Resign DLo around $25mil because you are not getting elite passing, 3 to 1 assists to turnover ratio, elite 3 point shooting, what are you talking about?? AR/Rui/JHS/CWoods/GVincent/JHayes/MaxChristie/MartelWebster are all expendable!! As well as all 3 1st rd draft picks!! Mikal Bridges , DMitchell, KlayThompson are what we aim for!! Or just build around the pieces! Upgrade at center and we can role!!

  8. I dont want Dlo gone or traded. Dlo helped us a lot in the regular season and performed well MAJORITY of the series. Yeah having 0 points in game 3 sucks but he showed up in game 2, 4 and 5. That’s still 3 games in that series that he played well. I want him to stay for a longer contract 25-30 million ish per year

  9. Klay ain’t leaving for Orlando! And Trae Young ain’t going to the spurs ! Trae is signed to Kultch Sports !

  10. I feel like LBJ would just opt out to get a potential 3 yr max extension that I've been hearing about the past few days already. As for the D'Lo situation, he just almost non-existent against higher offensive and defensive-ranked teams in the postseason, and has a history of doing so. I'd just trade his ass for a more "multifaceted" PG. the regular season statistically was pretty great, but the postseason is just a depressing sight.

  11. Sign and trade would be the best case scenario. I am also okay with Dlo opting in or signing to a more team friendly longer term deal. If he want a raise, a 21-23Mil 2year contract is the most I would offer.

  12. orlando not signing klay for all they cap, they have 60 mil in cap space that they have to use… reports are out ab klay to put pressure on warriors… no big name player will want to play for a small market team like magic… especially a young team… dlo makes the perfect sense for that roster

  13. Bring Frank back. We don’t want click bait JJ, his lame takes are notorious and how he even became a coaching candidate is ridiculous.

  14. Keep all key role players and add a BIG. We need a true center to play against Denver and Minnesota! We can go “small “ with AD.
