Over the first weekend of NBA free agency the Los Angeles Lakers were able to retain their core consisting of Austin Reaves, D’Angelo Russell, and Rui Hachimura. The team also signed Jaxson Hayes, Cam Reddish, Gabe Vincent, and Taurean Prince. Emmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor, LeSean McCoy, and Ric Bucher debate if the Lakers have done enough to close the gap between them and the Denver Nuggets.

Answer: No, cuz Bron will be 1 year older. AD will still be the same next.
There are other teams fast developing with young stars and young legs in the west such as , kings , wolves etc. You also have the suns who I think lakers have no chance against . Lebron is 40 yes old and running in fumes . Lakers are a very well put together team u just have to contend with so many other stars and let’s not forget luka and kyrie all in their prime and a full season together
Can't wait until next summer when LBJ opt out and play with his son the Lakers free up 50 million Summer 2024
Love her she's a genius
Bring Dwight back from over seas
OnG this woman so gorgeous 🥰😍
The way that the Lakers are currently constructed isn't going to work. We will see a repeat of the 22-23 season. I realize the fan base is large but it's not that interesting.
We should have kept Dennis. Homie from Miami didn’t shoot well durning the regular season. But I believe him and Dennis are the same player. But Dennis knows the system. We should have went after McDaniels from the wolves over prince. We didn’t give Mo enough run. Mo is a better rim protector than hayes. But it all boils down to health from James and AD.
SHADY definitely watches IT IS WHAT IT IS.😂
Lebron has to stop jacking up 3s i dont want him to shoot a 3 until the all star break. Also he should play no more than 25 minutes. His defense is in the past, presently he misses way to many assignments and complains about everyone else when its obviously his fault. Let the young men grow.
Doesn't matter. The fakers still have LeFlop on their roster, and as long as they have him being the number one option, they are going to be bad.
Bruce brown literally was third most important player in the lakers series because he murdered them in transition
Joy is so f ing Based smart beautiful insightful the whole package
They won once
Dlo deserve that from them dropping him
Rui definitely slowed joker down
Only thing stopping Denver is a injury
Idc what nobody say a healthy Lebron is dangerous alone .. he hasn’t been healthy in LA only the year 2020 & this year he dominated in part but in the finals he got gassed
“Ad do get crazy with the injuries” – Shady
All due respect to Jokic, the Lakers lost because of Murray. It was his extra 6-7ppg which killed us and we are addressing it currently
Ok when is the last time KD won a chip? When did Book or Beal win a chip? Like that’s just a dumb statement by Ric Bucher. Only one team can win a chip. Nobody can Jokic , he’s the best in the world, no shame in losing. At least Lakers beat the defending champs
The Lakers are a much better team..they will be in the Finals.. McNuggets were a fluke..they will not even make the Finals.. Bucher is a Lakers hater
And the Lakers don't know how to do it Slick? 17 banners buddy….count em 🤫
Joy is just a bron fan so she always defends. Ric has the best take.
Malika looking like a man
I hate Ric Puker
Nuggets still sweep even worse this time if they meet
If lebron is healthy then even if ad is only kinda healthy, they can best the nuggets. They couldn't beat them with two injured superstars and Jamal Murray literally making every shot he takes. No one could beat them. The nuggets is the type of team to get knocked out in the second round next year.
He’s been hating on the lakers. How they loss brown and green but is the same team lol
HAM, COACHING STAFF NE LAKER PLAYERS GO FOR THE TOP SEED IN THE NBA BOTH IN THE EASTERN AN ESTERN CONFERENCE, FOR THE FINAL 2024. AND GET THE GOLD MEDAL. DO THAN HAM, LEBRON AD, PRINCE, DLO,REAVES, RUI, VANDO, REDISH VENCINT,HYES, JALLEN HOOD
Rick go and ROTATE
Ric always been a Lebron hater. You would think he fuck’d his wife. He always got shade.
Ric’s a hater. FTP!!
So, they retained players their coach didn’t want to play, some that fans despise, a fan fav role player, signed Vincent and a group of castoffs that did little for their previous teams? Where’s the improvement
I bet all my money that J Murray wont shoot like that again. He hit shots like in video games. Even if he just missed 2-3 shots, it would be a different series.
Nigguh said "pause"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why are ex-football players talking about basketball. They need the attention sooo badly. Try to stay relevant. Egotistical. Sports talk is dead, no wonder ESPN fired the core.
Lakers should have kept Schroder , and let Russell walk, he was a non factor in the playoffs
Laker's front office has to practice discipline, they're like typical extremists. This worked for us last year so let's sign a whole bunch of marginal players. Last year the team was thrown together late and there was very little film to scout. Young players that have break out years usually sign a multiple year contract and take a step back the following year. Now they're scouted, now they're guarded different, now they have long term security. Happens more often than not, I'd temper expectations and be pleasantly surprised if it works out.
When the only one on that panel that is making sense is a woman. The others are just hot air bs.
Joy is the smartest person on the show kills them everytime
Ric was ready to say no before even hearing the question 😂
