The Lakers will trade Westbrook & Jones to the Jazz for Conley, Vanderbilt and Beasley. Then Beverly & Walker will be traded for either Trent Jr or Bogdan!!!
Ky couldn't win with Tatum & Brown, KD and most likely Luka. We want Lavine, Ball & Green!
lakers lakers 😂 LBJ need help again and again.. what if Kyrie LBJ and Davis played together and it wont work then lbj will need another help over and over again such a goat 🐐
My dog is a Bernie Doodle named Obi. Trevor has a Bernese mountain dog named Obi.
Great segment Trevor and Sean
Just like we got Westbrook in trade and gave up a first and coulda got Derazon and he on his 2nd all star and we didn’t have to trade for him and kept a first and the Caruso
We just need 2 good wings who can shoot and play average defense. Otherwise just bring back Melo.
FVV and GTJr deal is worth the two firsts. Even if you can't get them protected, just do it if it's a deal that's truly available.
check Bron's interview I think he knew Rob did his job but Nets just didn't pull the trigger
How many games have been in 2 or 3 possessions ? What 45? The lakers are in EVERY GAME, no matter who it is. That’s a sign of bad coaching, other teams make runs no TO. Ball watching coach.
The best thing the Lakers can do is nothing. The rest of the league doesn't want to do a deal with them anyway. The Laker team they have now is going to be the one. They'll have to outwork every team they play because they lack the talent to sometimes coast but I've seen them grind out victories that have surprised me quite a few times so far.
Labron looked tired in the first half of the Pelican game. In the 2nd half he ran out of gas. AD is very effective so far but hasn't hit full stride since his injury. He's playing more flat footed especially in traffic and not falling to the floor as much. It looks like he's been instructed to hold off a bit on his aggressiveness going alluntil the playoffs.
This Utah deal really sucks. Think about it, those are very average players. Conley is old. More guards ? STOP IT. Go get Bojan, another 3&D and a starting center. 3 players that would help this team.
Trev & Matt both make valid points about Ham's in game adjustments. they have been questionable.
No way should Pat Bev be guarding BI. Maybe the inability to Close games starts with the Rookie Head Coach. Substitutions , right players in, adjustments, riding the officials for calls.
just don't expect anything crazy for Lakers coming to this deadline
Joe stai should be bamned in California.
I’m more keen on the fvf/gtj deal – young guys for the future who can shoot. We have had so many starting lineups where the pg and sg get almost no points. This solves that. I know if doesn’t give you size, but those two +rui, lebron and ad is pretty nice. Then Schroeder, reeves, Troy brown, wenyen and Bryant off the bench. Maybe try do something else with pat and Lonnie since we likely won’t be able to retain next season
LOL No, Rob and Jeanie won't make a trade now. 3 days from deadline, they really just want to milk season ticket sales.
Lakers have the worst front office. Lakers have a bad inexperienced head coach. An aging superstar. Bubble boy superstar.
I wouldn’t of done it either. As long as they get some more help elsewhere.
Bogdanovic and Hield
So we want DS, Beverly, Conley lineup now? Nah. FVV is overrated too, just watch him play.
Don't trade with the Jazz…..unless they overpay the lakers. Fk Danny Ainge.
If Bron and AD demand a trade in the off-season, then they’re basically scum. They did this to our franchise by demanding the Russell Westbrook trade. If Bron, AD and Klutch hadn’t intervened, we would have just traded for Buddy Hield from the Kings. We gave up a first and all of our depth, shooting, and defense for Russ. Then they want us to give up two more firsts and the last shred of depth we have to move off of him? Even choosing THT over Caruso was thanks to Bron and Klutch.
That would basically be them saying to wreck our franchise either way. Either we wreck it with a bad trade, or they wreck it by demanding a trade.
Reports are BS, front office and ownership trying to save face. They blew the negotiation, that's what is being reported early on – suddenly we just dismissed that.
All we do is talk talk talk talk words words words words mean nothing to us I’m not watching your fucking channel until something happens
The lakers dodged a bullet. Kyrie will ruin the Mavs.
We never had a chance to get kyrie. They didn’t want him 7 months ago and they didn’t want him now. Plus everything mentioned. Dallas offered better, and KD literally fucking hates Russ. They would’ve lost KD as well if they did the laker trade. No wonder no laker fans are actual gm’s. Hilarious people think it was some laker tax or an agent being petty😂🤡
People are missing the main point. They lost harden and now kyrie. If they made the trade for russ, they would just lose KD right after. KD hates russ and refuses to play w him. Simple as that. Ntm it was an easy decision for the nets when the Dallas package was better anyways. This 100% was not out of spite or pittyness😂 lmao y’all think like middle schoolers
If the lakers never traded for Westbrook we would have Kyrie and Buddy Lebron screw this up by going for Westbrook
I couldn't care less what happens to Grammy bro!
Westbrook is not a better offer for the nets.
Man if rob just never made that russ trade we’d have Kyrie, Ad and Lebron.
Y'all think we can still try for Fred Van Vleet?
Duncan Robinson might be the worst contract in the NBA
Rob better do something or he's gonna lose his job very soon and I'd bet on it
They have traded all the young players away for years and they turned out awesome players. We need to stop sending them out. We need to see how they develop. Get rid of the players u not using for something u can use.
MATT WHO CARES
If we got OG and Van Flet or the other Toronto guard I'd be happier than if we got Kyrie.
26:31 Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot had the best comment ! 😂😭
If they don’t want to give up the firsts. Just give up russ and 2 seconds for Hayward and Rozier.
This would be the trade for the Lakers to make with Minnesota Timberwolves that would be acceptable for the Lakers they should trade Thomas Bryant Lonnie Walker Russell Westbrook and the first round for Naz Reid D'Angelo and McDaniels
Lakers need Zack lavine 3 point shooting!…
The Utah deal is a sneaky good deal they we should really consider Jarred Vanderbilt is 23 Malik Beasley 26 Mike Conley is of age but that brings us youth and Mike Conley can still close games while we get heavier up top where we don’t have to use AD and Bron some much through out the rest of the season
Get Garry Trent and Malik Beasley
Call Toronto. We need to make a move.
As much as I like Kyrie as a phenomenal basketball player, Kyrie's unpredictable behavior is not worth what the Nets wanted. Dallas needs to brace for Kyrie to bolt after the season is over. It's time to put Kyrie in the rearview mirror and keep it moving.
Get conley beasley vanderbelt.
I think once LeBron gets the all time scoring mark, then we might see a different Bron. Last few games I feel like it's been on his mind and affecting his rhythm.
