The Lakers are not the Spurs. Development of young players will NEVER happen as long as LeEGO is on the team. He was given every opportunity to do that when he FIRST came to the Lakers, and instead, he got all that young talent (acquired while TRUE Laker Fans ENDURED the rebuild) traded away, only to leave Laker Fans praying for help from the NBA's junk yard. There is a big difference between Enduring and Suffering, and the Lakers with LeEGO have been Insufferable.
I'm from San Diego and if you watched Kawhi pay in college, you knew that he was goin to be good. There wasn't any development really needed just the opportunity.
Player development?!?🙄 Not really. If you pay max for a 40 year old guy to eat that big chunk of your cap for three years? That is not a basketball move, that’s a merch and ticket selling move. And then you hire a rookie coach, with no coaching experience and even less experience when it comes to develop young talent. Even worse when that rookie coach is your old guys pod-pal and puppeteer. Last, but not least, the first thing you do with your development aspirations is draft the old max guys son on the only merit that he is the son of your max guy. God, please help us out of this mess.
Let's not call it "win now" option, because, unfortunately, there's no such option. They probably mean "third star" option, but that is not a winning option anymore.
lakers had defender on back court now they have airbodys. U can not do what lakers did 2020 if u have austin reaves in ur backcourt. Lebron james is 40 u need more defens not less
Pelinka didn't do 2020 on purpose. Waiting on Kawhi they let the "good players" get away. Pelinka signed the leftovers. The team was perfect. Pelinka dismantled that on purpose. Looks like intentional sabotage.
The problem with lebron, he is an unknown max player. He is not like other superstars, where we don't put an asterisk to their name. We always here we cant expect lebron to this at 40, but were paying him like a player who should do all the superstar things. If we go all in, and lebron suddenly becomes a normal 40 year old, Lakers future is shot, because the current price for none all starts can be four first round picks.
I wouldn't do it if im the lakers because having a player at that age making that much it will be impossible to put a good team on the floor with his contract i think they should blow it up and just start over with the young guys you have on the roster by the way this is coming from a bron fan you have to be realistic about everything with this organization and roster let bron go and trade ad just start fresh
And who’s our next star?? Trading ad? lol. Tatum and doncic will sign their súper Max contracts. There is nothing left to lose than just to keep competing.
That’s never going to happen. And the Lakers would not be better off for it anyway. They are making bank with LeBron on the team, for one, and for two LeBron is still an extremely effective floor general and basketball mind to help a team reach its potential.
@@maxcady5287 start over means you have no star draft and develop players over time the lakers aren't going anywhere let's see pay an 40 year old max money for 2 or 3 years with ad also let's not forget ad extension when he's making 60 plus a year what team can u put around them that can compete with teams in the west they are taking up most of the cap am I the only one who knows this sheesh
LBJ and AD need to realize what they have done in the past by demanding trades. They demanded that the Lakers get Westbrook and that ridiculously stupid trade cost the Lakers young players and draft picks and ended very badly. The Lakers need another big man and they need to see if they can get more depth but they need to try to hold on to talent and develop them. The Lakers have a long list of players that they have allowed to leave and those players have become signifcant role players on other teams: Caruso, Monk, Gary Payton 2, Zubac, KCP, Clarkson ... the Lakers have to start developing some of these players for the future. Ham was an awful coach when it came to coaching players and you don't have to look much farther than Rui and AR to see that. Right out of the gates last season, Ham took the two players the Lakers invested in during the season and basically said "I don't believe in you." And elevated Prince (who is a great player off the bench) and Cam Reddish (who is just awful on both ends of the floor). It's time to let JJ work these this players. The Lakers still need to find a quality big man and they need to be exploring other players who might fit great into the rotation (a back up PG is needed). If they can find some young talent who will add, it's worth some draft picks and some role players ... but AR needs to stay. I think he is going to flourish under JJ.
Given the new CBA, 3 yrs/160M means both Bron and the team are accepting and embracing mediocrity during that time frame. LBJ gets paid... Lakers and the fan base get played. Would be best for the team and his legacy if he took a pay cut. Will he? Nah
The CBA is different now. If Lebron is serious about winning another title he would take a pay cut. It’s not about cap space, it’s about the lux tax and avoiding the 2nd Apron.
How would teaming up with the REAL Street Clothes Embiid ensure a ring? lol Brons either staying with Lakers or returning to Cleveland Theres no way Bron plays for more than THREE teams in his career.. He knows what the narrative would be
Pelinka and the Lakers staff and not even clever enough to build 1 timeline , you expect them to build 2 at the same time? Its either all in or all out, that's the only way this franchise can move forwards
How does it make sense if Bron is making 50 mill a year over 40 yrs old...cant jump...cant defend. He will slow down. We will have no picks for trying to win now no matter what we do our roster isn't loaded with youth athleticism and shot creation. Our best young players are Christie Reeves and JHS. Laughable. Castleton stiff ...cant score just sitting in the g-league. Our young players pale in comparison to the rest of the west. We will never have the elite 2 way young wings to do what Boston has done
This is stupidity paying a 40 yrs old player 150M NBA is such a joke now paying ridiculous amounts for players like Draymond, CP3 Kawhi etc instead developing younger players and having a culture where the franchise is bigger than ANY Player
Lakers Coach is out here calling Black People N words 🦗 from you here a Lakers Nation. Not surprised your other host is silent, but you Sean come on Bro!!!!!!
Like it or not, it's going to get traction. Especially given his "I got tongue tied" explanation for a Chinese slur that got dug up in the wake of all this. The Lakers have buzzards luck and awful instincts.
Lakers will never learn. We won't stop trying to build a championship roster on the fly full on minimum contracts around aging superstars. Last few championships weren't won around old cores.
This is gonna trigger a lot of people, but this is the honest to God truth and I wish someone at Lakers nation had the guts to say it. LeBron needs to take a pay cut. Let’s stop beating around the bush. The Lakers mortgage their future to get Anthony Davis because LeBron wanted it, the Lakers mortgage the rest of their future to get Russell Westbrook because LeBron wanted it. The Lakers fired vogle because LeBron gave it greenlight, the Lakers fired ham because LeBron gave a greenlight, the Lakers hired JJ Reddick, who I like, but let’s not play as if LeBron had no role in it. Also, the Lakers are gonna draft LeBron son, who truly doesn’t deserve the slot over the other players in the draft. The Lakers have done literally everything this man has asked for and have sold their future for this guy. He is literally a billionaire, and the richest athlete in NBA history. I think it’s about time he scratches the Lakers back because they’ve done that for him the entirety of the time he’s been there. Let’s face it when LeBron leaves. The Lakers are going to be screwed for the foreseeable future. Does LeBron deserve a max contract? Absolutely yes. But this man is a billionaire. He can’t leave 15 20 million on the table so that way the Lakers can build a team around his friend JJ to help them compete? When you actually break down the math and crunch the numbers LeBron taking a $20 million pay cut let’s say 35 million instead of 50+ million is the equivalent of someone who makes$100,000 taking a salary of $98,000. It’s not that deep bro, you’re not missing any of that money. I am a LeBron fan but he is really rubbing me the wrong way if he does this to this team. You’re 40 years old, don’t demand this team try to win but you are the biggest handicap as to why they cannot elevate the team.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, he needs to take a pay cut of about 40 mil to give them some flexibility to add some solid pieces to the bench like Boston has done.
Lakers committing suicide.. no Money left for third star or margin to sign players that can really change the Needle.. they completely sold the team to LeBron, the head coach, the new contract, it' s a pathetic management
You sound slow weird troll Bih We have plenty of money to spend weird troll bih, we havent signed LeBron or Dlo yet weird slow Bih The Coach has a longer contract than LeBron weird troll bih.
The problem with the lakers is who are we developing, only player that has to develop is max, AR,RUI,Vando are 26 and up, they hit there ceiling so they are who they are, Rob using that excuse is BS to sit on his hands and not improve the team with better players
As long as LeBron and Davis continue to squeeze every last dollar they can in their bloated contracts, the Lakers will never be able to put together a strong roster unless they keep all their picks and hit big on every one of them. But given LeBron's distain for rookies, that could be a dead end. I have said it for three years, the team needs to move on from both and get back as many picks for them and rebuild. They're too greedy, selfish, with unrealistic demands and refuse to be held accountable for why the team struggles to build a decent roster due to lack of salary space. They're divas and not team builders. Quite frankly, I am sick of divas. But as long as Buss and Pelinka are in charge, the Lakers will continue to spin their wheels in the mud.
@@nickwarren7854 And now, they're even worse: a mediocre team not good enough to win a title and not bad enough to get a high pick to rebuild. Plus, this diva keeps doing this passive aggressive BS to get management to burn its future assets. He did that with Cleveland and he tried to do that in Miami until Riley told him to piss off and let him walk. And liking your own post is a self-own on being a clown.
@@KennethSimkins-v2k For who straight up? Let’s not act like AR is an All-NBA/All-Star player. He can be added to a trade for a better player like D-Murray or Jerami Grant. Guarantee there are better players on the market if the Lakers are willing to trade Reaves
How can LeBron be serious about winning and telling the front office to go all out and get another star the turn around and ask for the max. LeBron needs to be the third option on the team.
I feel like sometimes laker nation be having some airhead on… I’m sorry. But you can do bother u trade for someone lil DJM and/or cam those players are young enough to develop them… devolving doesn’t mean we stick with someone lol JSH who clearly not ready for anything rui who lacks a lot. I can trade for good players and develop smh
How on EARTH do you think Player Development is just for young players who can/can't contribute right now? lol. Great players are ALWAYS developing, do you think MJ and KOBE (and LBJ) stopped player development when they were in their final years? lol. Nah man, you can always teach old dogs new tricks. It's equally important for older p[layers, who often need to tweak or just flat out change their playstyle due to declining athleticism, like LBJ developing his mid and long range game cos he can't spend 30-40 mins above the rim. So yeah, I think a focus on player development DOES work with win now. Just sayin.
Genie bus mainly cares about making money. It's just for family history. Signing LeBron to a long-term deal means they have ticket sales even if they suck
I hope he takes max contract so lakers can continue to be a first round exit or worse. If lebron is smart he will take much less and build a championship team around himself and AD.
Why would he not get paid what he’s worth just because he’s made a certain amount in his lifetime? Kobe didn’t do it, why would we expect lebron to do it when lebron is actually playing well at the end of his career and Kobe was horrible his last 4 seasons. You wouldn’t take less than you’re worth so don’t expect other people to do it.
@@Gatorsssssss1 Why should he take less? How much less should he take? It’s not like if he takes a dollar they can go out and get someone else. Why don’t you want others to take less is what I’m asking.
If bron wanted to win he would take less money so we can sign top talent. I’ll never forget how people criticized Kobe during his last years when the team was trash for accepting 27 mill a year. Nobody says a damn word about bron getting almost $60.
