WHO Are They Going To BLAME Now For THIS?!

WHO Are They Going To BLAME Now For THIS?!

remember this pulls up wants to use the window and hit the top of the glass missed badly on that one in 2021 LeBron acted as the GM and brought his friends to the team while the Lakers were trying to get buddy healed who would have been a perfect fit at the time James commanded that the team take on Westbrook’s massive $44 million per year this completely shut down their cap space and he was an obviously bad fit from the beginning with the lack of shooting and floor space faing being the clear indicators but LeBron solved these issues by getting a 37-year-old Carmelo Anthony and while he was okay shooting the ball the way that he was targeted on defense was laughable green looking to give the Rockets the lead and he does there’s green a little Dipsy d by Carmelo Anthony all those old guys they’re cooked well done I love Carmelo it’s over so this experiment ended catastrophically and the Lakers missed the playoffs I don’t have to answer the solution was to fire Frank vogle the guy who led this team to the title just two seasons prior and what’s happening in this off season is almost exactly the same scenario that could end up in a debacle instead of trying to improve the roster that finished in the playin the entire Focus for the Lakers has been on drafting Brony this was of course fulfilling LeBron’s wish despite the Lakers hilariously justifying this pick hey BR you got Rob pinka here and Coach Reck um I think first and foremost uh you’ve worked incredibly hard man you put in a ton of work you’re a a player of High character and a person a High character and that is valued at the Lakers and we don’t even need to talk about the reason why JJ reic became the coach a rookie coach by the way on probably the hottest seat in the NBA all the eyes the media the pressure will be on him and he got thrown in there just because LeBron liked him I mean there’s no way in hell anyone is believing this LeBron and I did not talk about uh the Lakers job uh until Thursday afternoon uh about 30 minutes after I was off for the job he did not want to be involved in this meanwhile the Lakers haven’t done a single thing to address the real issue which is the roster itself a 40-year-old James is not leading this team far in the playoffs they needed Firepower but pretty much whiffed out on all the major free agents the only hope for now is that they can somehow make Ave move for D rozan who’s been one of LeBron’s preferred options of course and worst of all even if they get him the outside shooting and the floor spacing will remain bad last year the Lakers were 28th in three-point attempts and 24th in makes you are not winning in today’s NBA without a solid three-point presence maybe they believe they solved that with their 17th pick in Dalton NE the start they took it down there were po coming out they want to see it dog connects out to connect left alone can’t do that whatever the case may be to me they are so far Among The Losers of free agency and I’m wondering who they’re going to blame when it all comes crashing down on them next season speaking of losers we got a bunch more headlined by the Denver Nuggets I mean what are the owners doing here by refusing to pay up when it matters they have now lost key players in two consecutive seasons and if Bruce Brown’s significant bump and salary was not realistic for them to match Denver absolutely could have and should have kept kcp a major piece on defense as well as a reliable three-point shooter not to mention the continuity Factor he was a seamless fit for this team thing is I knew that it was over as soon as I heard the GM say this Christian Brown’s one of the best net rating guys in the league like if he’s a step into the starting lineup like probably projected I think um you know we’ll be okay if uh kcp doesn’t return they were already decided that they weren’t going to pay k CCP his number so now it’s Christian Brown stepping up if the nuggets are thinking that they can run it back after losing yet another major piece while the Mavs and the Thunder got way better and Minnesota will only progress with Edwards wow the Denver front office are lying to themselves not wanting to pay and keep the court together when you have a generational Talent like yic in his prime leading the team is just sad what’s really sad however is witnessing the end of an iconic era Clay is gone and it’s not like they replaced the legend with someone who’s going to help them compete for a championship they are in play for marketing but he doesn’t move the needle this is not going to be a contender so what are the Warriors doing and how does Steph Curry feel wasting his final years going pretty much nowhere also how does Giannis feel he watched the Knicks and the Sixers get significantly better and meanwhile Milwaukee did nothing to close the gap with the now Champions Boston Celtics who are a real juggernaut and clearly the best team in the east then what in the world are the Clippers doing they watched PG Lee for absolutely nothing in return after pretty much giving away a whole truck full of picks and players to the Thunder for him they’re left empty-handed now all because they didn’t want to give him a fourth year on his contract and at the same time they signed James Harden to a whopping $35 million per year for the next two seasons when literally nobody would give him that type of money on the market crazy so now they randomly brought back Nick Batum at almost 36 years of age and got Kevin Porter Jr who’s been out of the league for a while and a highly controversial character mind you Derek Jones Jr is a good addition but they’re definitely going to lack some Firepower in the west especially with kawi’s availability always being a factor as for PG he created a trio that the East should be afraid of along with embiid and Maxi but the Sixers should be afraid as well since all of this is predicated on the health of Joel first and foremost and then George himself of course still this is a huge deal for Philly and they’re among the biggest winners in the East along with my New York Knicks yes I know that y’all are sitting out there and y’all saying it’s Mel Bridges he’s a good player but it ain’t like you got KD or somebody bump all that okay I still think we need another piece but we have moved in the right direction I like this just a quick reminder that I got some new designs up on my merch store and I love how they came out we got Luca with the smoking rifle here in the wild west then there is this Wy design that looks awesome really emphasizing his length and check out book here with his fancy retro car and the Arizona desert in the background of course I have to have a shirt for Lakers Nation as well so here you have Braun ad and Reeves click the link in the description and check them out but the true winners of free agency for me are Dallas and especially OKC the Mavs upgraded a finals team with 3 andd players and Naji Marshall and Quinton Grimes both can hit the three they can put the ball on the floor and attack Closeouts and although they may not be as versatile defensively as Daris Jones Jr was both Grimes and Marshall are pitbulls on the ball at their positions so the depth on this team is improved but of course they also added an almost 39% three-point shooter on High Volume last year the narrative is that Clay is washed but I’ll take those numbers especially with his proven performances in the biggest games and now he’ll have a chance to play in those big games again as Dallas looks to repeat the success from last year and even go One Step Beyond now I can guarantee you that the Thunder are looking to do the same especially with their additions they were the fourth best defense in the League last year and upgraded that with one of the best defensive players and Alex Caruso second team old defense last season teams will not be able to score on the Thunder kuso also comes off of a career-high season in points and three-point percentage amazing signing but then they had one of my favorite players on the Knicks last year and Isaiah hartenstein and this becomes a legit roster dude does everything defense rebounds putbacks also his floater is basically automatic and he does all the little things that a team needs to win so with the young guys on OKC naturally taking a step forward and improving this squad could easily be in the Conference Finals and that is wild man draft day and free agency were crazy and on that same topic did you know that Vince Carter was actually a golden state pick but they traded him to Toronto right away man the entire history could be different I have a whole video with the craziest draft day trades that changed the NBA and you got to check it out right here talk to you in the next one peace out

Remember this?
In 2021 Lebron acted as the GM and brought his friends to the team. While the Lakers were trying to get Buddy Hield, who would have been a perfect fit at the time, James commanded that the team take on Westbrook’s massive 44 million dollars per year. This was an obvious bad fit from the beginning. Not to mention the lack of shooting and floor spacing.
But Lebron solved that by getting a 37 year old Carmelo Anthony, and while he was ok shooting the ball, the way he was targeted on defense was laughable.
This experiment ended catastrophically, and the Lakers missed the playoffs.
The solution was to fire Frank Vogel, the guy who led this team to the title, just 2 seasons prior.
And what’s happening in this off season is almost the exact same scenario that could end up in a debacle.
Instead of trying to improve the roster that finished in the play-in, the entire focus for the Lakers has been on drafting Bronny. This was of course fulfilling Lebron’s wish, despite the Lakers hilariously justifying this pick.
And we don’t even need to talk about the reason why JJ Reddick became the coach.
A rookie coach btw on probably the hottest seat in the NBA. All the eyes, the media, the pressure will be on him. And he got thrown in here, just because Lebron liked him.
I mean, there’s no way in hell anyone is believing this…
Meanwhile, the Lakers haven’t done a single thing to address the real issue. Which is the roster itself. A 40 year old James is not leading this team far in the playoffs. They needed firepower but pretty much whiffed out on all the major free agents.
The only hope for now is that they can somehow make a move for Derozan who has been one of Lebron’s preferred options.
Worst of all, even if they get him, the outside shooting and the floor spacing will remain bad.
Last year the Lakers were 28th in three point attempts and 24th in makes.
You are not winning in today’s NBA without a solid three point presence.
Maybe, they believe they solved that with their 17th pick in Dalton Knecht.
Whatever the case may be, to me they are so far among the losers of free agency and I’m wondering who are they going to blame when it all comes crashing down next season.
Speaking of losers, we got a bunch more headlined by the Denver Nuggets.
I mean, what are the owners doing here?! By refusing to pay up when it matters, they have now lost key players in 2 consecutive seasons. And if Bruce Brown’s significant bump in salary was not realistic for them to match, Denver absolutely could have and should have kept KCP a major piece on defense as well as a reliable 3 point shooter. Not to mention the continuity factor that he was a seamless fit for this team.
Thing is, I knew that it was over as soon as heard the GM say this:
They were already decided that they weren’t going to pay KCP his number, so now it’s Christian Braun stepping up?
If the Nuggets are thinking that they can run it back after losing yet another major piece while the Mavs and the Thunder got way better, and Minnesota will only progress with Edwards…
Woow, the Denver front office are lying to themselves.
Not wanting to pay and keep the core together when you have a generational talent like Jokic in his prime leading the team is just sad.
What’s really sad however is witnessing the end of an iconic era.
They are in play for Markkanen but he doesn’t move the needle, this is not going to be a contender. So what are the Warriors doing, and how does Steph Curry feel wasting his final years going pretty much nowhere?
Also, how does Giannis feel? He watched the Knicks and the Sixers get significantly better and meanwhile, Milwaukee did nothing to close the gap with the now champions Boston Celtics who are a real juggernaut, and clearly the best team in the East.
Then, what in the world are the Clippers doing? They watched PG leave for absolutely nothing in return after pretty much giving away a whole truck full of picks and players to the Thunder.
They’re left empty handed all because they didn’t want to give him a 4th year to his contract.
And at the same time signed James Harden to a whopping 35 million dollars per year for the next 2 seasons, when literally nobody would give him that type of money on the market. Crazy.
So now they randomly brought back Nic Batum at almost 36 years of age, and got Kevin Porter Jr who’s been out of the league for a while and a highly controversial character mind you.
Derrick Jones Jr is a good addition but they are definitely going to lack some firepower in the west, especially with Kawhi’s availability always being a factor.
As for PG, he created a trio that the east should be afraid of along with Embiid and Maxey. But the Sixers should be afraid as well, since all of this is predicated on the health of Joel first and foremost and then George himself of course.
