    Sustained excellence when LeBron has only 2 years left in the league lmfao this team will be exactly the same come April

    I get why they have to do it for the purpose of their job, but what’s the point of asking this question. We’ve heard the same exact answer for multiple offseasons.

    Change the record, Rob, the grooves are worn out.

    We’re only trading them for a star, which is very unlikely to happen. But anythings a possibility.

    Rob sending out the batsignal to any disgruntled stars out there.

    DO NOT TRADE D’ANGELO RUSSEL. DO NOT TRADE HIM

  7. I almost wish Rob would come out and just say that many GMs and franchises negotiate in bad faith with us, but that would likely only make the shit worse.

    Whatever man. He said this last year. Rob ain’t doing a damn thing

    Reaves or D’Lo have to go, now that you have Knetch. Murray would’ve got us past Denver last year. Jamal was injured and dude looked like an all nba guard against us. LeBron is 40, regression might happen at any moment. Took too long with Ham, don’t do it again.

    Honestly, it already might be too late. 70 games from Bron & AD is far from guaranteed. Please make a move.

    Mods can we get a “sustained Lakers excellence” flair please

    But let’s say we don’t, which is likely the case cause Pelinka can’t cook for shit, will we have three first rounders to trade in the offseason or will we be able to do 4?

    Honestly at this point there’s no real reason to trade the picks with Lebron on his way out. AD will be the franchise player and they we can see about trading one or two to get someone else to join, but doing a godfather deal with Lebron on his way out doesn’t make sense. Rather be a bit more patient.

    Glad he used the word sustained there
