Reeves should not be starting
I think people don't want to go to the Lakers because of dysfunction. There must be something in the locker room or front office that has spread to the NBA and players don't want to deal with us. We don't know what that is but it is something other than basketball. Maybe firing Ham was a negative we can not quantify.
*2024-25 Here's some more trade options…Don't nec want this trade (1)Lakers trade D'lo/JHS/Reddish/Wood and Lakers '25(2nd/Clips) '27(2nd) to the Nets: DFS/Sharpe. *1st: AD 43.2 LeBron 48.7 DFS 14.9 MC 7.1 Dinwiddie (mle) 5.1=119 *2nd: Sharpe 3.9 Rui 17 Vando 10.7 Knecht 3.9 Reaves 13=167.5 *3rd: M. Brown 2 Hayes 2.5 Lewis 1.8 Bronny 1.2 Vincent 11=186
It is Jealousy. Folks do not like the attention. He is filling up summer league seats.
Hey Trevor, I want trade just as much as anyone but does it even make sense to make a trade before the season. The lakers would be selling at a point where all these guys’ value is super low. Could waiting into the season rehab their value?
3andD? Where?
LeSperm !
He should be in the G-League now he needs to play, the pro are not for him yet and please stop talking about him, you are not helping him and currently he is a bad player for the NBA
The SHAM , fake NBA player Bronny took a ROSTER SPOT
the fans clapped for Bronny at the last shot was like giving the Ball Boy a chance at playing in the final minutes of the game.
Trent just didn’t want to play for LA. not like they could’ve signed him for the minimum.
still a dud of an off season in any case
No one wants to play along side Lebron..
Zero trades and zero free agents this summer! That’s how you get better as a team and organization 😂😂😂
Watch Trevor try to defend the Lakers front office and Jeanie 😂
Vincent vando jhs for Rw3 and one of the greatest athletes in all of sport Mattise Thybulle aussie sold him short
Still waiting on that announcement where the trash Lakers "won the off season" like they claimed last year on this channel.😜🤣
It comes down to basketball analytics. Everyteam can afford BA 2.0 Balmer has beta 3.0 but instead of Robs assistant running it balmer and lacob have a team of 6 dudes on that thing 24/7
I ran # LBJ and Thybulle =Fireworks
I’m telling y’all Pelinka tryna ruin Bron legacy, purposely not getting any players..
The way y'all talk about Knecht is crazy. Y'all act like he has done something to be more than the 15th guy on the Lakers roster at the start of the season. Smh!
Rw3 get joker thybulle takes Murray
Bunch of cry babies in this channels comment section lol
i wonder if lakers are banking that max christie will take a big leap under JJ and with actual minutes perhaps starting caliber minutes cause they did invest in him and paid him
and maybe that's why they didn't want to promise GTJ a starting role? they'd want it to be like hey its you and max and see who wins it out? but GTJ would of been a major rotation player i feel
idk this is all speculation we don't know what the talks were, hell we don't know if GTJ gave lakers a legit meeting/talks or was it just using lakers name as leverage like vast majority of the league does
If everybody comes back healthy we have a shot. A healthy Vando, and Gabe will make
a big difference as will JJ.
We have got JJ from Cocomelon, we have nothing to worry about 🤣
UNSUBSCRIBED from the LEBRON JAMES TEAM!! NOT EVEN LAKERS ANYMORE!!HOW are they CATERING to an AGING PLAYER that brought 1 RING(DURING COVID)…TIRED of the BS!!LATER LAKERS!! REBUILD
Ever since I've been a laker fan year 2000 this is the most disappointing off season so far.
Magic Johnson warned everyone Pelinka is a backstabbing Snake..
Rob will be gone as GM after this season if the Lakers dont win the championship thats just a fact, fairly or unfairly we all know the writing on the wall…..
I thinks Bronny will surprise everyone.
All Rob has done all offseason is sign a million coaches to try to help JJ coach.
Rob Pelinka may as well be Rob Lowe at this point
We continue to see other teams making deals, without our Lakers making any. And then we want to blame Pelinka. His only mistake here is giving every player player options. That’s what’s hurting us this offseason. In order to clear roster space, we need other teams to help us out. COULD IT BE that players don’t want to play here right now? COULD IT BE that teams don’t want to do business with us? In order to make any trade that we actually want, we have to give away a player of great consequence. No one wants DLo. No one wants Rui. Not alone at least. If we aren’t trading Reeves, we aren’t gonna get any deal made. Period. If you wanna keep Reeves, lock in your seatbelts and enjoy the same ride we had last season. Reeves HAS TO BE included in any deal. It’s just that simple if we want a good player in return. He’s young. But he ain’t better than Lauri, yet fans are saying no to that type of deal. You want Reeves? Cool. Stop complaining about a lack of trades because there are none without him.
that's why jaylen brown isn't on team usa
Can we stop assuming all of these FAs even want to play on the Lakers?
WERE COOKED
THANK YOU LAKER FANS
What if none of this has to do with rob as lalers fan over 35 years lebron hasn't been good for lakers maybe folks dont wont play with lebron u think rob not doing his job if not Jennie is clueless problem to me is lebron and his sneaky ego and Jennie remember rob just face it stops with Jennie she been door matt for lebron wake up folks and smh this bronny thing 55 pick or not its not attention lakers need but it clown show now days hey trevor keep it real instead of talking just for clicks
I have no problem with Bronny getting drafted. HOWEVER, not having a roster spot is a big deal…
Those three players options
instead of teams options.
The Laker are going to have play with
what they have. At the very least
some contracts will come off their
books. Probably a play in team
again
Nobody wants to play with Lebron and the Lakers. Team is stained until Lebron finally leaves this team
Bronny was never going to be a rotation player as a rookie bc he’s never going to be a rotation player at all. He doesn’t have the talent to develop into a rotation player. This isn’t me hating on Bronny or hoping he fails. This is just brutal honesty.
What would Gary Trent do for the Lakers nothing why make above that not going to move your team, the Lakers need a big man that can play the 5
I’ve been a Laker fan through the Sedale threat, Cedric Sabalos era. That was pretty bad. We’ll get through this ladies and gentlemen.
Can we at least get Landry Shamet now?
And what's the hold up on Carter Jr?
Guess it’s tank season…
None of Jeannie’s friends are qualified for any of the jobs she’s giving them 🤣
Nobody wants to be a part of Lebron's clown show
Any appeal that the Lakers had with being in LaLa Land and sun and movie stars is now being offset by the cost of living, super high taxes and the fact that most people see the Lakers front office as a circus show.
It's time to boot Pelinka. He has made some good signings but has had more bad signings or strikeouts than he has successes.
The top teams in the Western Conference have gotten better and the Lakers haven't been able to sign anyone.
As for the comments about the Lakers waiting for prices to come down. I don't buy it. The Lakers are proving they can't sign anyone. I know that the super high taxes and the cost of living is awful in LA but you can say the same thing about SacTown and SanFran.
Phil Handy said that Lakers management is making it hard (not impossible) to be a Laker fan. It's completely true. And somehow Jeanie and Rob are watching all these FA's reject the Lakers and somehow never stop to look in the mirror about why that's happening!
