The Lakers might not be willing to deal both of their first-round picks, which isn’t sitting well with fans. Should they make a move or would it be futile this season? Plus, is there a specific star they are hoping comes onto the market and what does that say about the mentality of the front office? Trevor Lane breaks down all of that and more…

AD and Lebron have to step it up and realize that this is the team that they have and stop making excuses. I remember when Kobe and Shaq played and Shaq was hurt the Lakers still won and vice versa
Bogdan, Gary Trent and Jermi for 10M EACH with player option for another 10M is game changer for Lakers
Why couldn’t they trade AD, Russ, Nunn and 2 future picks
for
KD, Heild and turner and maybe if money works a Seth curry or patty mills
Pelingka hardworking for his extension and don't care for the team!…Lol
I think the Lakers can send away their 2027 and 2029 draft picks to acquire players now. If the team doesn’t win, they could always replenish draft picks by trading away Anthony Davis.
This is really stupid, ok if they won't make a trade than they much let Kurt Rambis and Rob pelinka out the door ASAP
If the Lakers FO doesn’t start reviewing their dated ways of conducting business and keeping up with the modern NBA like running like hiring executives, handling draft capital, relationship with stars etc etc… they will soon find themselves being the next NY Knicks. Has a big market regardless, but insignificant contender. We can boast all the banners, winning history and all that, but let’s be honest, the Clipps are running the team better than us right now…
Lakers, please get Kyrie Erving, now! He's available. 🤔👌🥸😇
The problem was giving all those players for Russ and AD always hurt.
Unfortunately, we have to trade AD to have something in the future.
Just free Lebron
The “ mystery player “ is really no mystery at all. It’s Derozan. Lakers wouldn’t be opposed to picking up Derozan and Vucevic or Caruso.
this organization is beyond terrible how do you commit to LeBron then want to keep picks this makes no sense just pitiful
Is it possible to keep Westbrook, offer 2 future firsts for Hield and Turner? That team could go deep…can it be done?
Maybe Klay, Jimmy; or Zach L. (Responding to statement at 30:18 mark)
Who just get kryrie
Who cares there 2 picks u don't need
asks laker fans what you would do in this situation
laker fan: I would do something
sounds about right
If that's the case then the front office needs to be fired
Just do Myles Turner. Anthony Davis and Westbrook can play on the floor together then Myles Turner and LeBron would be good together two stars on floor all the time. Down line might have to consider trading Davis for more fulfilling pieces and shooting
Trade now asap Lakers nation
We don't need a star – we have 3 already. We need 2 or 3 good consistent role players – 2 wings who can shoot threes at 35% or better and a big man who can average at least 10 ppg, 6 rpg and 1 bpg. And that big man may just be Thomas Bryant – we'll see when he returns and gets acclimated to playing. If so, then that's one less role player we need.
Trevor, you should be ashamed of yourself!
remember I told you a long time ago, you're clueless? this was the reason! I saw this coming for the Lakers, when you pushed for Lakers to trade Bi, j.H. L.B. for A.D.
I told you it was a wrong idea. here's your Anthony Davis now, walking like a 90 year old gold fish….
You pushed the Jordan Clarkson trade, I told you it was a wrong idea…….now you see why .
You pushed for THT to get trades. I said it was a wrong idea. Now you see why..
You ran your mouth on all these guys who are gone, balling, and should have been Lakers for life …..
So, you see how Bonehead you've been on this platform?!
You pushed Westbrook 's trade, I told you it was a wrong idea … Now you see why …
.
here you are again with the same senseless analysis….. are you thinking at all?
Traded away THT and kept Austin Reeves!!
Wasn't it unwise?
25 minutes 0 potnts…
You kept him and traded away THT. THT comes back and blow past Austin Reeves like Lamborghini past a scooter at 300mph…
I hope Lakers don't listen to a jack you say. because
All your ideas are childish….
My 5 year old could do better.
Real talk..
Well, that means this team will be bad for the next 7 years. Tickets will still sale so why care right?
If lakers don’t trade Westbrook they are going to be in the same boat as this season they will have the cap space this summer but look at the player available in free agency nobody good so who are they going to get only way to get better is to make a damn trade
Why would we only have 30 mil of cap space if Russ' 47 mil is off the books? Shouldn't we have at least that much?
Dame time was built for showtime! I keep saying it. Make it happen Lakers
Myles turner being a drop back paint defender and allowing AD to roam the defense will be lethal for our defense
But unless we find a trade to get us a 3/D wing that I’m punting this season idc
Okc SGA
Nobody's talking about the fact that all 17 of our championships were with a big 2 and a solid roster around them. No big 3's. Why's the front not sticking with what's worked for us for 75+ years?
Westbrook is providing more value than Lebron.
I say keep Russ and our picks and ride it out this season – maybe trade Nunn, Beverley and a second for a better role player, but that's all. Then this summer trade AD (unless he plays exceptionally all season) and LeBron and rebuild – out with the old, in with the new.
The Turner Hield deal puts everyone in their natural slot. Pushes people to the bench that should be bench players. Can always flip assets for picks a year or two from now. Make the deal.
Bring back showtime lakers
Not turtle teams that pelinka makes
they need to give westbrook max extension
Dame 😊time equals championship
36:27
LOL What? That barely makes the team any better, if it makes us better at all. Rozier and Washington are worth maybe half of that. Learn basketball, dude.
You want the problem, LBJ is getting old. You can’t no longer hope the season can be saved by LBJ. Like when he brought the Kyrie-less Cavs made the finals. He needs guys to support him. You can’t half 40 mil of the salary to be on the bench. If LeBron was playing off the bench he would kill it too against second string guys. We need a Center to protect AD because he wants to be a Power Forward like he said a million times and we need a shooter like Buddy. It’s not hard to understand, give them the picks and whatever they want. What’s the point of having LBJ and AD.
no stars will come the lakers afterhow the front office and fans treat lebron and anthony davis mark my words… the lakers downfall is here..

Huff isn't very good, but he can't be worse than Damian Jones.
Vogel is having the time of his life now…
A non-fitting Russ being a positive is PROOF that Darvin can work WONDERS with a player who fits.

Don't forget about Mo Wagner – he's a solid backup PF/C who we could definitely use.
