Lakers were missing:
LeBron James
Kendrick Nunn
Trevor Ariza
Talen Horton Tucker
Austin Reaves
Rajon Rondo
And Miami had 17 more FTA. This up there for the "Dumbest tweet of the night" award congrats
Lets compare the two situations really quickly.
Lou left the bubble to go to a family matter, and went to a strip club before vaccinations were available
Lebron went to a promotion event where everyone either was vaccinated or had negative tests upon entry. Not rocket science.
I wonder if there's an alternate universe where Lebron joined the Lakers in 2010 and just racked up the rings w/ Kobe lmao
Because those two would be unstoppable
Lakers gave up less for AD than LAC did for PG
Lakers only owe NOLA 2 more unprotected 1sts + 2 swaps
LAC has given up 6 unprotected first rounders this season + 3 swaps
LAC blew a 3-1 lead
Lakers are 2 wins away from the title
Rob Pelinka everybody
I'm sorry but Alex Caruso literally got that 4/39mil deal from Chicago, CAME BACK TO US and said ill take a 2/20 mil deal to stay and we said nah enjoy Chicago
She couldn't take ONE or two years of extra luxury tax after a decade of not paying it damn near
Bronny being a great shooter isn’t a surprise to me considering how great of a shooter I consider his dad (despite what republicans say). Bryce is the best tho.
Lakers couldn’t land a big FA until Klutch came and assisted with Bron
You blame and alienate them and you now piss off the two biggest agencies in the league, GOOD fucking luck man
So Zubac played 3 minutes, Morris played 9. They played a guy named Srubb 40 minutes while Yogi and Patterson played 30 each
But this wasn't done to avoid LAL round 1, got it.
Bucks mortgaged their future 4 Jrue & appear to be close again to a quick playoff elimination.
The Lakers mortgaged their future for AD and they’re out.
Meanwhile the Nets depleted themselves of young assets for Harden and they’re still stacked and moving closer to a title
Lakers are officially the 2nd seed, 1.5 behind the Jazz for the 1st overall seed in the NBA.
All while our superstar forward has missed nearly 50% of our games
If we waited on Serge and lost Trezz you clowns would be crying saying Rob waited on FAs like he did with Kawhi last year
He got a 26 year old 6MOTY, the 27 runner up, a very solid 3/D guard. Our best SG back. And more to come
Quit the bitching
Dame says "I want LA", and more specifically, it gets leaked that he wants the Lakers
What tf other teams gonna do about it especially if Portland is gonna try and do right by Dame?
I know Monty got a HC spot soon, but if he tryna come to LA and sit next to Ham as an offensive coordinator type role and work with AD again… I’m just sayin
If Nurse is willing to come to LA... you make him the highest paid coach in the league, for the right amount of years, you give him full control over his staff, and you dont force Kurt Fucking Rambis into his meetings
You get ONE shot at this HC hire man
nah this DLO post game interview is
#special
He said “if we had a training camp with this group the sky’s the limit, but we don’t and the sky still the limit “ 😭😭😭😭😭
Lakers deal Russ and picks to Indiana for Hield and Turner
Knicks join LAL/Jazz as third team, Lakers receive Reddish from NYK.
Dis is how Roberto Pelinka wins
Woj said the Lakers most likely won't do any trades because we don't have assets to get any done, so expect a trade to happen within the next week or two
KCP turned down a 5/80mil deal to play in Detroit, signed basically a 2 year/30 mil deal to live and play in LA, made another 8+ this year, and is about to secure the bag lmao
All while living in LA and winning a title. Oh yea RP did KCP dirty!
An anonymous agent goes off on LeBron James and Rich Paul for costing Klutch clients millions of dollars
"It’s illegal for a player, particularly if you’re in the state of California, to be licensed to represent talent."
(Via The Athletic )
"LeBron has Russ camping in the corner instead of being on ball where he should be!!!"
Russ' usage rate last year: 30.2%
Russ' usage rate this year: 27.3%, in two less minutes a game
Not mad especially if Kuzma is traded. Fact of the matter is we need some offensive boost overall and Melo can still put the ball in the basket. Vet min deal soon come
Carmelo Anthony and the Lakers reportedly have high level interest in each other and would be his most likely option if he left the Blazers 👀
Melo in LA 🤔🔥
He dropped ZERO points in a crucial playoff game where one of his superstar teammates was out, and the other was clearly limited, and man is asking for 120mil American currency?
"do you think you're starting or coming off the bench"
Dwight said he dont care, he just wants to win
What a breath of fresh air after last season man lmao
Lakers get: Reddish / Bojan / Quickley
Pistons get : Fournier / Nunn / 2027 top 5 protected first from LAL, 1 second from LA
Knicks get: Bev / JTA / Jones , 2nd from Det and a 2nd from LA + get off Fourniers deal
Not saying the situations are 100% the same, but Boston was 18-21 last season at one point. They were 25-25 50 games in. They made some moves, dealt pick(s) to improve the roster
Lakers are now 17-21, can either go all in or accept another wasted season. Up to you
@JeanieBuss
Rui Hachimura is shooting a career-high 51.5% from the field, and 40% from 3 on the season.
Here’s his season splits by the month for mins played and scoring
With that deal Woike mentioned, You’re basically swapping:
Russ for Kyrie
Talen for Joe Harris
Nunn for Seth Curry
For two firsts, assuming some protections on em.
That’s a home run dawg
Darvin Ham said he took Anthony Davis’ comments after G2 that the Lakers “have stretches when we don’t know what we’re doing” as “frustration”, and he’ll “agree to disagree” with AD.
Ham said the Lakers coaching staff prides itself on being organized.
If the Lakers still chasing the third star route, Lavine is THE GUY to go after and go all in with. Young/in his prime, dynamic 3 level scorer, finally getting AD a guard teams can’t go under on PNRs
Opens up a lot
