Rebuild! Trade everyone for young talents and picks
Where the F#@! Is Dennis? Laker management sucks
I don't know why we are having this conversation. This was known to be the forthcoming issue over a year ago. They allowed the championship roster to disintegrate along with morgaging the future for AD. It was very obvious the Lakers were going to struggle when they failed to get a third star and traded all of their youth. It's scary to think that the Lakers front office actually has no idea what they are doing and got lucky with the bubble allowing so much rest for AD and James to be ready for the playoffs.
The Lakers have set themselves back at least a decade before they are a contender again. That is not necessarily on AD or James, but rather how bad J. Buss and Pelinka have managed the team since trading for Lebron. The moves they have made make absolutely no sense. It really feels like they are clueless or incompetent.
Dont understand why Lakers care so much about draft picks, when their only good draft pick was Magic Johnson. Draft picks get u what the lakers were post Kobe. Trade the 29 pick for some shooter and fire pelinka
I wish I was in Jeanie Buss head to understand her way of thinking. Her management choice are baffling to me (such as extending Rob “incompetence” Pelinka). Maybe there are reasons behind her choices but I fail to understand them.
Trade Russ and picks
Trade ad Portland
For simons and picks
Give Bron some players, who even cares about future picks.He is a once in generation player,fucking Lakers
Lakers will do what they always do. Absolutely nothing. There is no trade coming. Pat bev trade was a horrible decision. Lakers are overstaffed at guard. Lakers will play out this season and do a total rebuild again next off-season picking up g-league players.
Rob is going to make sure the Pels get Victor Wembanyama.
Lakers should rebuild, having Davis & Westbrook didn't bring any improvement. Davis body is too sensitive to play like every move either his gonna be injured or not and Westbrook greatness days are long gone.
I think the issue is deeper. The Lakers just haven't been the same since Dr Buss left this planet. We just haven't found the identity post about his existence. Also, trade AD because that's not working. He is getting older and not better. Time to move on. As a Laker lifer I can swallow a rebuild. We have blown it with what we are trading we got a chip but it's a lame duck team.
But we constantly blamed Klutch, LeBron, and AD for this roster, but they have no control over contracts and keeping/developing talent. Stupid 2 contracts…Lost or trade away quality players like Kuzma, KCP, McGee, Morris, Dwight, and baby goat Caruso. The blind leading the blind in a sound proof room, good luck to us Lakers fans.
Trade Davis, get 3 Valuable Players & 2 Draft Picks, Trade Westbrook and Get 2 Valuable Players & 1 “2nd Rd Pick”
Get all Shooters and Defenders, and have them all Mid-20’s, and Put them around LeBron, watch magic 🪄 happen
Trade them all everyone that makes over 10 million a year
We demanded that AD play the 5. So he gained mass and muscle to play the 5, and now we are complaining because he is not the 2020 AD. 2020 AD was lighter and faster and played the 4 mostly. We lost Morris, McGee, Dwight, Kuzma, THT, Caruso, and etc; we lost our way from success. FO is a joke, sell the team to someone who knows basketball.
The Lakers should have traded labron to Cavs for what Utah got for Michelle
Pelinka needs to be fired. The team is not playing to its strengths. If AD is not strong playing the center position then why are they putting him in that position?
Get rid of LeFraud and things will improve automatically!
I don't blame Rob Pelinka for not trading the first rounders for Hield and Turner its not gonna make them contenders. Turner is gonna be a free agent anyway, just pursue him in off season.
Bum azz Pelinka needs to trade the picks already. This roster is a dumpster fire ready to blow up. Trade Beverly and Nunn, both look really bad on the team. We still lack a legit center and shooting guard.
Lebron wouldn't sign of extension if it will be reset.
Yea
Yea
My grandma always told me everything will be good…
Until…
I did not find a pack of 🌿 weed under the pillow.
Getting Turner and Hield isn't gonna mean a damn thang if AD stays Hurt and Lebron declining. I'm not giving up our last remaining assets of this decade just to have a chance at the play in. Lmao….unless the Lakers planning on bringing in Steph or Dame Dolla….I don't see any deal available that'll make the Lakers a championship contending team
Look lakers are going to have to play out this season for what it's worth nobody is going to bail out the lakers plain and simple if they do they are going to take the draft picks look you wanted russ to play a different role fine ans he is doing a decent job at that and now ad is hurt and lebron is hurt not injured now the bench need to step up
Explore to Trade AD!!!
Tank and get a good pick!
