[Austin Rivers] When you watch USA basketball and realize the two most dynamic players thus far are two Lakers players… you realize they’re not far behind in competing for a chip. That window can’t be closed considering I’m watching them be the best on the BEST team in the world… 🤷♂️

Trade all the picks, give LeBron one more chance at a ring!
He’s right, these two are good enough to lead a contending team. We need to surround them with better talent.
Two roster changes we have to make is eventually trading D’lo and getting a competent back up C for AD.
I’m fine with keeping D’lo for the start of the season, but he cannot be our pg after the deadline and in the playoffs.
AD has needed a decent back up C for years and this needs to be addressed before the season starts. I hope Windy’s rumour of us potentially getting Jonas is true.
In hindsight, I wish we tried to sign him instead of tying it up in Klay, or at least having a fallback agreement with Jonas if that was possible.
And rob refused to give them help
Shows you how bad the roster construction and coaching have been.
Well unfortunately players 3-15 are mostly mid and not superstars so they have to expend all their energy just trying to keep us in games
Yep.
And the sad thing is that many of their losses come down to poor rebounding. That is something that can be at least partially addressed by good coaching.
Should have beat the nuggets last season. Murray hit two game winners. That’s with our entire team playing like ass except for Bron and AD on top of injuries and a shit head coach. Just need to stay healthy
The window was closed the minute the Westbrook trade went through and Caruso was let go. Lost two all defensive level two way players, a first round pick, and a versatile wing for a 40 million dollar anchor they had to spend draft capital to get rid of
We’ve been saying that ever since the 2023 season ended.
the problem is who is worth those picks
If only Rob and Jeanie thought like this and had some sense of urgency
Fair point. AD looks great. Bron is playing on ultra instinct right now. Goku would be a little nervous around Bron right now.
Too many holes in the ship to be thinking championship right now. We are a play in team simple as that. 🤷🏻♂️
The team around it is ass tho
I blame lebron and rob for this. trading westbrook was a ridiculous move that will ultimately be the root cause of lebron not winning any rings and rob losing his job after that.
I feel like we just ask bron and ad to hold it down. If we’re playing well and have a better record at the deadline plus dlo on the spiting means teams will actually play ball
So close and yet so far
Because Ham always closing the windows
I bet JJ Reddick is smiling somewhere watching his boys dominate leading into the season.. everyone knows it’s only a matter of time before that duo ages out but it is not today
The Olympics are an international event, so bring Darvin Ham’s to the Hauge and try him for war crimes like he deserves.
Fuck it, all in for 2 years of Curry, LeBron and AD. Fuck Trae Young
