You cannot help if someone does not want to do business with you. Rob cannot make a deal just to do it.
You said no cause Austin and max you made a dumb ass move smdh
If the lakers gave 2 picks at the start of the season he would already be playing here…
Had billionaire Lebron taken a little less the Lakers could sign Kyrie this coming summer. But he wasn’t willing to take even a penny less
This is absolute truth that the trade requests came from KD and Kyrie because they got their feelings hurt when Joe Tsai held them accountable for not living up to the teams potential. I don't doubt Joe Tsai ripped them and KD/Kyrie'd DIVA feelings got hurt. They probably don't want to work for a Chinese guy with so many tie to the chinese government.
Look up Joe Tsai if you guys dont know who he is. Joe Tsai don't play and I believe at some point he confronted Kyrie and KD. Those DIVAS probably didn't like his tone and got their feelings hurt.
Why do y’all keep saying we can sign Kyrie in the offseason. We DO NOT have the money for a full max. We didn’t before we traded for Rui and we have even less now that we have him. Kyrie needed to be traded to us. We’re not getting a star with cap space so let that dream go. This was our chance.
Kevin Durant didn’t push to get CP3!? That’s hard to believe, I think he’s gone this summer, he’ll be a good soldier this season but no title he’s gone
Bad blood between Kyrie and owner = no chance for the Lakers. The Lakers Tax is real.
I believe the Lakers will get Kyrie next season. For now they will trade two of there players to get one better that also fits the Lakers system better.
Trevor they wanted max and Austin plus 2 pics lakers said from what I heard that's not doing there best to me
It's clear the Lakers front office is full of. bull shit. They not trying to put a winning team on the court. It takes all season and they can't make any trades to upgrade the team .They could have had Myles Turner and Buddy Hield but didn't want to do anything. Irving says he wants to be traded and three days later the nets are able to make a trade. But the Lakers continue to struggle to make a trade. Note this point, the Lakers will not be a championship team with just LeBron and Davis along with a bunch of bench players.
This shows u how f up lakers roster is. Not to have win now pieces, to trade for kyrie
But you will have people blame Rob tho when obviously teams are out to F***k and Fleece us
The nets were never going to send Kyrie to the Lakers because they were bitter because he said he wanted to be traded there. Also there is a bias in the league against the Lakers because of thier success. Look at what Dallas gave up for Kyrie, if the lakers had trad3d for Kyrie they would had to give up most of there roster and two or three first round picks. It started back when the league blocked the Chris Paul trade and continues today with teams asking for the would to make basic trades for even role players.
Get the Utah deal done now!
Release Jones to free up roster space and Send Russ and one first round pick to Utah to get Conley, Beasley and Vanderbilt back
I know Conley is 35 but he's one of the most efficient PG in the league when it comes to Assist/TO ratio. Career high almost 8 assists per game with only 1.7 TO and he only plays like 26 minutes a game. He can start the game with Bron and AD since he's great at playing off ball and catch/shoot. Still can play some defense.
Malike Beasley is a straight up shooter and can play defense when he wants to.
Vanderbilt is just a monster on defenst who can guard 1 to 5, this guy is an elite defender, him and AD on the floor would be nice.
That's way too much to pay for someone that already wants to be here. We will get Kyrie this summer, he isn't going to want to play with a ball hog and him and Luka play at two totally different speeds. The Mavs messed up and the Nets are screwed and ppl going to be so mad this summer when we get Kyrie anyway.
Seem like a 50/50 split between people wanting Kyrie and thinks he’s a cancer. I’m with the latter on this one. Kyrie has shown nothing but selfish and only thinks of himself. He doesn’t care about no one else but himself. We dodged a bullet not giving up so much to get back another headache with him. I’d rather keep Dress Brick. At least that man will give you his best and show up everyday ready to brick shots unlike Cryrie can just up and leave the team at any given moment. I really feel bad for Luka.
This the same person that wanted him to apologize meet with some random Jews and apologize but then deliberately sabotage a deal and a trade yea sound like yt ppl 🤷🏾♂️
Wait a few more months, Kyrie will be a Lakers.
Don’t be sad, you dodged a bullet.
Rob just get something done.
Lakers,was just showing him they want him,next season they can get him and keep everything, to get a realistic big,I do like what they got but ,something not injury prom, Luke ad he need a backup
Give me a break. They didn’t want to send him to LA because ya’ll don’t have any players that can help now as the Nets are still a playoff contender. They got good a good defender and someone who can shoot AND future pieces. Oh yeah….that, and the fact the NBA is not here to serve the Lakers. Contrary to popular belief of people in LA-la land. Lmfao.
Yup way to much lol 😂 glad thanks Dallas lol i wanted to keep all our young players . Bryant reeves,walker yes I'm glad I think we can win it now..just need b healthy. Period.
I think 2 young guys, 2 first round picks, & Westbrook is too much for Kyrie specifically when we only got half a season shop left.
Reaves is a dealbreaker. If they wanted him on top of everything else, definitely not worth it for a possible rental.
Imagine what this team would look like if teams were actually willing to trade with us
If no Toronto trade, then:
Russ for Conley, Beasley and Vanderbilt
Walker + JTA for Reddish or Mo Bamba
Pat + Jones for Alec Burks.
Of course all yters blame rob. Lakers blew it. Blah blah blah. Fake fans suck.
There was NO deal on the table. First off, it's a well- known fact that many of the NBA executives do not like dealing with Pelinka because of his bad faith actions, when he was a player agent. The other factor is that a # of the NBA exécutives dislike 🐐 James as well and don't want him to win another chip in hopes of protecting and solidifying M.J. as the undisputed 🐐. So between James and Pelinka, it's going to be darn near impossible for the Lakers to land a bona-fide, elite superstar. Pelinka has NOT done a particularly good job with building a championship roster after dismantling the one that captured a championship. It's a mess, and don't think for one second that Goat James is going to play his remaining few years with a sub-par roster IN laker Land. He will make a move sooner or later after the season closes out. "Maybe it's me" is another way of saying:
Teams are working against him IN trades, and Pelinka is not doing enough to hurdle the obstacles and get the job done.. NO excuses ! Close the deal when it presents itself, and Pelinka could not do it. Bottom line!!!
Lakers Fan : $2 to my name , No Help , I rather starve then beg on the street. Lives in old car
Lebron $500,000 each game
Reach across the isle BRON ✋$$$
If we get Zack lavine we wouldnt be able to get kyrie this off season.
The question now is if they're still planning on moving Russ or end up keeping him. At this point it doesn't really matter now because it looks like its gonna be another wasted year.
the fact that they didnt take cp3 plus crowder and picks is nuts. Idk what mark cuban offered sai lol
I’m personally glad not to have that headache on the Lakers.
This dude said a classic business move?! Thats dumb, he just fucked himself out of any FUTURE FREE AGENT signings… Nobody will want to go there!
I think it’s more like, they don’t want Westbrook
