Richard Jefferson on the Lakers: “Their season is probably about 10 games away from their season most likely being over. And I say that respectfully.”

    If “over” means definitely not making the playoffs, that ship has sailed

  2. 2022-Account

    That’s generous. I think it’s already over

    I said in the summer this season if you’re a lakers fan is all about the great moment when Lebron becomes the all time leading scorer and that’s it. Any delusions about contending is just that a delusion. The FO is terrible, but there’s no championship move for them to make. I’ve noticed that even many of the lakers fans who screamed “BUDDY HIELD BRO” are starting to fall back and realize that’s not doing anything in the grand scheme of things

    Is what the Lakers are doing to Lebron considered elder abuse?

  5. RichardIraVos

    You can tell he’s brons friend because he gave them an extra 10 games

    I mean, the season the Warriors lost to the Raptors they were kind of absolutely laying an egg until like December if I remember right, but still made the Finals. This team isn’t the Warriors though.

    What a tragedy. I love that the shows still lead with the Lakers so we can take in this shitstorm on a daily basis.

  8. Faux_Real

    Over? Prime position for Wemby is not over!

  9. Jaded-Sapphire3546

    RJ’s tick is “Respectfully”, respectfully

  10. sheeeeeez

    I’m perpetually confused why people thought this season would have been any different than last.

  11. robinThicc9

    If they lose half that many their season is over, they’ll be 2-14.

  12. NeonxGone

    This team is a fucking disaster, respectfully.

  13. If they are 4-18 or something next month the noise will be unbearable.

  14. icangetyouatoedude

    And remember I’m saying with all due respect

  15. LetsTalkAboutVex

    >He’s 37, I believe on his way to 38

    Richard BOLDLY predicts that LeBron will turn 38 years of age following his current age of 37; should 39 have done more to recruit him?

  16. The Pelicans getting Wembayama is gonna be crazy.

  17. ghost18867

    Realistically, lakers should be 1-10. NOP really threw that game away.

  18. 12 games in and people already showing up with silly hot takes like these.

    They can easily be a play-in team. Make the playoffs. Upset some teams. Gain momentum. Etc..

    Jefferson with a hot take because he knows the Internet will eat it up

    I started typing up what the Lakers might need to do and realized it was a waste of time and deleted it. The more I think about it, I wouldn’t be surprised if they punt this season as well come mid December. They have to reconstruct the entire roster. They said they aren’t willing to give away first round picks, so I doubt they’ll be able to get the role players they need.

    The Lakers have ONLY 3 players under contract next season, might as well just redo the entire roster.

    “Disrespectfully, on the other hand, what a buncha dog-biting scrubs.”

  21. it will be hard for them to be better than 8-12 after 20 games

  22. GreenBakery

    “No disrespect whatsoever, but the team can’t win!!”

  23. Random_Guy_9201

    Pretty accurate if I do say so myself

  24. ScaryGolf

    Honestly that’s generous. It’s already over.

  25. Sanmenov

    Who could have predicted a team giving roation minutes to Juan Toscano-Anderson, Wenyen Gabriel and Matt Ryan would be bad?

    Pelinka assembled a 2k auto-generated roster.

  26. Aethrix_

    Its just; lack of talents aside, i felt like this team is just forced to be there. Bron looks like he knew that putting effort is non bearing, AD is like wallace after he got fired from Dunder Mifflin and the rest is just there cause they have to. Patbev’s passion is wonderful tho. But yea, team looks done before they even began.

  27. That trade for Westbrook really blew up on their face. Kuzma, KCP, Caruso, McGee was decent. For Westbrick. They really thought he was going to make a difference

  28. cantcooklovefood

    Dude I’m pretty sure next season is already over too
