Trading LeBron was never going to be on the table. Very very few teams have the capacity to trade for his contract, plus LA would definitely be asking for picks along with it because you're not going to trade LeBron for just matching salaries no matter what stage of his career he's in. Plus he has a player option in the summer so basically telling whatever team that would try to trade for him that you either are a top tier contender or I won't resign. So the team would just be throwing away $45 million in contracts plus picks for half a season of LeBron James. It wasn't going to happen.
@@Lazar236 It's a sport... the players are going to try and win... You think he came to the lakers because he wanted the franchise to have another ring? LMFAO You can't be serious. You think he was sitting in his home thinking to himself, yeah I want the lakers to win again. Cmon.
Well you're mostly right. He's into the business and the Lakers need to do what's best for next season and beyond. But he DOES care about the franchise because he cares about his legacy as a part of it. Especially since IMHO, this is a great time for him to step away from the game.
I’m so glad you said this, it’s all legit his fault. I’m tired of seeing people act as if he’s a victim of the Lakers when the Lakers are a victim of him.
What did y’all really expect the lakers to do for an aging LeBron in the twilight of his career, who’s more than likely just gonna leave this upcoming offseason to play with his son? On top of that what was really gonna make yall contenders from a squad that’s barely a play in team, with limited pieces to trade off, and also with a coach that not even the players seem to want?
Yeah, it’s not super likely they’ll make the Wcf again and even so, who cares when with lebron it’s win now and a WCF loss means nothing to him since it’s not a ring and he’s almost 40
Tell me how LeBron is not loyal. 1. Stayed with the Cavs for 7 years and took them to the finals BY HIMSELF. And the team not once traded for another good player to play along side LeBron so he took his career in his own hands and went and try to get a ring. 2. He won with Miami then wanted to get a ring in his hometown back in Cleveland and did it. 3. Stays in Cleveland for his full 4 years then goes to LA. Lebron has finished ever contract he’s signed and has played AMAZING for every team he’s played for
Keeping the same roster is the most ideal situation. WE NEED CHEMISTRY WHICH MEANS THESE PLAYERS NEED TO STAY AND PLAY TOGETHER. FUCK WHAT BRON WANTS. HE'S LEAVING SOONER RAYHER THAN LATER
@@713TankbusterNo he's right. It's way better to build chemistry with players over the years than shaking it up all the time. Just look at almost all chip teams of the past years. They barely did any moves. The Nuggets just waited for Murray and MPJ to get healthy and up their game and build chemistry as a team. If the Lakers just kept their first squad they won with I'm dead sure they'd still be in contention. Look at how good Kuzma has become.
@@SeeingShadows Of course. That's what happens to every team Lebron leaves behind. Has a squad trade all his assets so he can build superteams to win a minimal amount of chips with and then leaves and does the same at another team. As if we didnt see that Lebron playbook coming slow ass. At least we got one chip out of it, because that's already more than I expected knowing the trade capital the Lakers had left for the upcoming years after the Davis and Westbrook trade.
We've made countless trades for this guy since he arrived. Championship winning teams generally DO NOT spend much time fidgeting with the roster because it negatively impacts continuity. We've made roster moves practically every year LeBron been in LA. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We can't keep giving away all our assets for a guy that's 39. He is not entitled a championship. We have to WORK for it and that's something we haven't consistently done since he arrived.
They do have a championship lmao. But as you can see if you looked with your own eyes, you can see this team being bad is not Lebrons fault lmao, terrible coaching, terrible GM. Bad role players bro
@@thriftedclubsgolf I know Lebron can’t literally MAKE any player better. His teammates have to actually get in the gym and work on their game. I’m only speaking on the false narrative the media has been spewing since Lebron entered the league but then turn around and says he doesn’t have enough help when they hit a rough spot. An NBA season is full of ebbs and flows. I mean they did make the wcf last season and all season what did we hear: Lebron doesn’t have enough help. It’s the same song and dance every season. Why don’t they just let the season play out and see what happens. One or two injuries or an upset could totally change the outcome of a playoff(see ‘21-22 Warriors). It’s like they think his teams are supposed to go 82-0 or something. He has AD, D’Angelo Russell, and some talented guys around him. It’s not like he’s playing with the Detroit Pistons
Best move is to wait till the off-season. Fire Darvin Ham IMMEDIATELY and get some solid role players. No point in going for broke mid season especially with a coach that is this inept.
@@blackbypopulardemand8091 agreed, people need to see the common denominator. Is it always the coach, the players needed, players wanted or even teams to play for next.
The Los Angeles Lakers made no trades and LeBron James & the LA Lakers LOST to the Denver Nuggets on 02/08/24 aka Kobe Bryant Statue Unveiling Day. The Joker and the Denver Nuggets has LeBron’s & the Los Angeles Lakers’ number just as KD & the Golden State Warriors had LeBron’s & the Cleveland Cavaliers’ number.👀
@@splashnskillz37 I kinda get that one though. Their job is solely making money so yeah they are gonna be disconnected. But a GMs entire job is to manage the roster. How are they of all people disconnected from what the roster needs?
Im just thinking about how it’s gonna be after LBJ and AD’s era. We ain’t got draft picks and relaying on signing stars was even a struggle after Kobe retired, we just had to keep rebuilding and we did. Had a developing young cast that all got traded or let go once LBJ joined lol. We just really missed out on Jayson Tatum.
Said it once, will say it again. LeBron is facing an awkward scenario. Don't get me wrong, still profitable and all, but like a lot of older great things, as they age and have been around, the shine starts to dull a bit and influence wanes. In 2004, the Lamborghini Gallardo was quite the car. But in 2024, it's still great but not quite as exciting. The Lakers know this & are smart enough to grant him the dignity to see out the twilight of this time there. Sometimes players, no matter how great, don't see the writing on the wall... and struggle to pinpoint exactly WHEN to hang it up. And sometimes, it isn't because they can't play anymore. it's just because it's time to move into something else. That's one of the harshest things about professional sports.
@BlackPRanger You know something smart guy? It isn't just a sports thing. But since you're likely not a recruited professional at anything, maybe the concept is too foreign for you as you lack that experience yourself.
The Westbrook trade really crippled the Lakers for like 4 years when it comes to making moves, Lakers have to be very careful since they got very little assets and of course Ham is honestly the problem for this team not being in the top 4 teams in the west because no way you look at this team on paper and don’t think this team isn’t a 50 win team at least
I’m so done with this front office theirs no stability we always a different team every season no consistency I’m tired of having a different team every season and making trades every time I’m tired of the trade talk specially star players just to make us upset play with us
If we’re really being honest, when Magic left the Front Office, we should’ve known the team was going downhill. Looking back at it, Magic was the reason Bron came, cuz he trusted him to put the right pieces around him (which Magic did)
People assume when magic johnson stepped down, that it was because he couldnt get along with Kobes Old Agent. Im starting to think it was bron who was interfering with his responsibilities as GM.
I could see an argument for that, but I actually believe Kobe was acting as a dark sith within the Lakers most inner circle. Kobe was guiding Jeannie Buss to fire Magic. Who was Pelinka's inside man to the Lakers organization in the first place? Remember how high of esteem Jeannie held Kobe's opinion? She even said, "I wish Kobe was here, he would know what to do". She held his opinion in very high esteem. Kobe was the king maker and puppeteer stringing along Jeannie and Rob to undermine Magic's incompetence. And guess what? He succeeded. Magic was dim and got exposed for being a blabber mouth who could not hold his tongue. Kobe and Pelinka forced him out using sith/mamba snake tactics.
I don't think they need a trade. They need darvin Ham to figure out what tf his lineups and rotations are. Here we are at all-star break, and he's still messing with his starting lineups. That's a clear sign of a coach who doesn't know his personnel.
@@garygnu8775 I guess they weren't happy and fluid when they blew the pelicans out, a much better team than the jazz btw, and every starter had 20 or more points and lebron had 14 assists. You're right. They looked miserable winning that game 🤦🏿♂️
Lets not give bron 100% of the credit on AD making us an actual contender. I know you lebron fans forgot, but lakers lebron were still a lottery team before AD got here.
@@manz7860 they weren’t a lottery team lmao but I agree they weren’t very good but there was a lot of injury’s that season . Without Lebron the lakers don’t win a title
I feel like the win against Boston messed up things. They overachieved without lebron and ad and the front office thought they could stick with their roster.
Lebron demanding the Lakers trader for Westbrook was the same mistake that KD made when he told Brooklyn to trade for Harden. KD and Kyrie were on a nasty squad before the Harden trade. I always felt like that team would've been more successful.
Before the Harden trade the Nets had deep chemistry with the original squad they had, had they stuck to it instead of listening to the media and Harden, and made small changes to the roster the could’ve won the championship. With the Lakers they went away from what made them successful in the 2019-2020 season all they had to do was bring everyone back and make small changes to the roster that improved their streaky shooting while keeping the playmaking/defensive identity they had but the season they got eliminated by the Suns they hit the panic but and trade for Westbrook which everyone and their mama saw was a bad trade before it was even announced.
Jeannie needs to cut that shit out with the comfort hires. Magic, Luke walton, byron scott, the rambis family, kobes old agent. Just off the top of my head
Yall just be saying whatever 😂😂 no way the Russ trade just ruined everything when we literally coulda traded AR, ‘29, and ‘23 instead of wasting the pick on JHS
If we had traded the pick or drafted JJJ, Podz, or Whitmore and also fired Ham, we’d be right in contention in the West. But yea, let’s just act like every dumb move we’ve made in the last couple years is all collateral damage of Lebron “forcing” them to get Russ 🙄🙄 Also Lebron fault that Russ was complete trash when he got here too
No one has even mentioned that it would be malpractice on Pelinkas part, if Bron leaves this summer & they have 0 draft capital to replace him As they weren’t winning the title with or without D Murray.. Don’t forget also they traded title pieces Kuzma & KCP who went and made others stronger, whilst the Lakers had Russ (who didn’t fit)
Injuries have been what messed up the team. No team in NBA history is making noise when both of your star players get hurt like that '19 LeBron injuried '20 Chip '21 running through the league, LeBron misses 20 games straight, AD misses 30 straight. Toying with the suns, AD get's hurt. '22 (year they got westbrook) AD and LeBron misses 26 games, AD misses 42 '23 made a trade, made the WCF. then this year 54 games left, and they have a chance to make the playoffs again.
Mj never cried about not having enough help. How many superstar team mates do Lebron need to win? Also if Lebron care so much about winning why is he on a poison earning 47 mil a year eating up a lot of the Lakers cap space. If he wanted to win he would taken less money so the Lakers could sign a superstar free agent.
LeBron is an excellent lesson for GMs and owners. When your star starts thinking he's a shadow GM and starts "advising" team leadership, YOU SHUT THAT SH*T DOWN IMMEDIATELY. You let the player know he is an EMPLOYEE. That he should take his paycheck and shut the hell up. Next guy to do that is probably going to get a different response than what LeBron got.
And then he loses his job. These guys got their hands tied behind their back working with lebron, its no wonder the last guy who has ever done this to him was pat riley
No one needs to be fired on the Laker staff. Theirs one problem this season, a player that stopped playing defense, stopped encouraging the younger players, only plays to pad his stats. This player is secretly hated by most of the other stars in the NBA. His name is Lebron Romain James 😂😂😂😂😂
Sometimes it looks like pelinka gets his trade ideas from twitter, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually was offering that THT and 1st round pick for superstars just like the memes .
The team doesn’t need trades. He needed an experienced coach that’s capable of being consistent and not still making lineup changes close to the allstar
LBJ’s time in LA is so odd lol. The fan base in LA is so split and he himself just doesn’t really exude that Lakers culture that has been upheld, but that’s what I think there.
T think it's just Kobe stans, those are the only people that have problem with him. They're just used to Kobe. I'm not sure what exuding the Lakers culture would look like tbh.
@@makesmartTROYces I don’t think it’s just Kobe stans and most of those stans are probably Lakers fans too, because of Kobe or they grew up in that era. Saying they’re used to Kobe doesn’t make sense respectfully. Ofc they’re used to Kobe, because a generation grew up on him, he held a standard for the time he played here, and did his part in exemplifying what it was to be a Laker. I’m a local, and a born and raised Lakers fan. I witnessed LBJ get booed on TV by some folks at a TGI Friday’s once here, and that would’ve never happened to other Lakers legends like Kobe/Magic/Shaq. LA loves the Lakers. It wasn’t even a Lakers game on the TV, but a HS Football game for Sierra Canyon, where LBJ Jr. attended and showed LBJ Sr. watching the HS Football game in the stands.
@@Spider-Complexion I try to differentiate the two. When I think "fan" I think of someone who doesn't try to dim his light in comparison to Kobe. When I think of stan I think someone who would say "Kobe woulda hit that shot, LeBron isn't clutch, LeBron isn't a real laker, I never wanted LeBron anyways" etc. I remember when Kobe died, LeBron made a post about Kobe on Instagram. The comments were flooded with people saying he sacrificed him. I saw some Laker and Kobe profile pics saying it too, those are stans to me.
The best decision they made was keeping this team. Bc they have everything needed it’s just the team hasn’t been consistent. That’s all it is whether it’s the coaching or guys in and out because of injuries, it all circles back to inconsistency. U makes trades and then you get worse, lose team chemistry, and if you don’t make a good run? It’s a total loss. I’m glad they didn’t do anything because they would’ve panicked again and made a terrible trade like the Westbrook era. Why disrupts everything you guys did last year… makes no sense
to be fair in the years they had Russ, LeBron and AD missed a very very very significant amount of time. 1st yr LeBron missed 20 straight & AD missed 40 straight. 2nd year AD was literally out over 1/2 the season, he missed 42 games & LeBron missed 26.
LOW has a problem with thinking nba fans are logical
Lakers didn’t have any tradable assets outside of Austin Reaves
Fr he’s just wasting his breath on the casuals. They see someone they like and think it’s so easy to just sign or trade for him
The biggest thing the Lakers could have done to help Lebron would have been to trade him
Lebron, the billionaire didnt help himself signing a 50m extension.

😂Wearing a Steph Curry shirt, while wearing a Grizzlies hat, while saying he’s a Lakers fan & doing a video talking about the Lakers.
Lol LOW is not a real Lakers fan. Dude just loves the NBA for it's drama and story lines.
Let’s not blame Bron for the Russ trade without crediting him for the AD trade
Lets not give bron 100% of the credit on AD making us an actual contender.
I know you lebron fans forgot, but lakers lebron were still a lottery team before AD got here.
@@manz7860 they weren’t a lottery team lmao but I agree they weren’t very good but there was a lot of injury’s that season . Without Lebron the lakers don’t win a title
Would love to Low be a part of NBA organization💀
Low spent more time in a basement than on a court. Why would an org want that?
Low, the audio is always low
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "WE" WHILE WEARING A GRIZZLIES CAP LMAOOOOO cl0wn
I feel like the win against Boston messed up things. They overachieved without lebron and ad and the front office thought they could stick with their roster.
Lebron demanding the Lakers trader for Westbrook was the same mistake that KD made when he told Brooklyn to trade for Harden. KD and Kyrie were on a nasty squad before the Harden trade. I always felt like that team would've been more successful.
Before the Harden trade the Nets had deep chemistry with the original squad they had, had they stuck to it instead of listening to the media and Harden, and made small changes to the roster the could’ve won the championship. With the Lakers they went away from what made them successful in the 2019-2020 season all they had to do was bring everyone back and make small changes to the roster that improved their streaky shooting while keeping the playmaking/defensive identity they had but the season they got eliminated by the Suns they hit the panic but and trade for Westbrook which everyone and their mama saw was a bad trade before it was even announced.
U right ppl clearly ain’t see the nuggets game. Couldn’t guard the perimeter and had zero outside shooting😅
Yup the Westbrook trade killed it, 2020 Lakers was the blueprint and Bron said nah fuck dat
Lakers need to start over completely from top to bottom, WHOLE ORGANIZATION 🤦🏽♂️
Jeannie needs to cut that shit out with the comfort hires.
Magic, Luke walton, byron scott, the rambis family, kobes old agent. Just off the top of my head
I love this dude .. reminds me of Pete Leg Pete
Who takes the sticker off the hat isnt that like half of the design
No lie. I didn’t expect buddy to beg for jobs in this video
Damn legend of losing is dripping I see you
Both LA and Lebron made this bed, so they might as well lie in it. Get comfy.
Yall just be saying whatever 😂😂 no way the Russ trade just ruined everything when we literally coulda traded AR, ‘29, and ‘23 instead of wasting the pick on JHS
If we had traded the pick or drafted JJJ, Podz, or Whitmore and also fired Ham, we’d be right in contention in the West. But yea, let’s just act like every dumb move we’ve made in the last couple years is all collateral damage of Lebron “forcing” them to get Russ 🙄🙄 Also Lebron fault that Russ was complete trash when he got here too
No one has even mentioned that it would be malpractice on Pelinkas part, if Bron leaves this summer & they have 0 draft capital to replace him
As they weren’t winning the title with or without D Murray..
Don’t forget also they traded title pieces Kuzma & KCP who went and made others stronger, whilst the Lakers had Russ (who didn’t fit)
They blew up that championship team themselves in a way that made no sense..
Question what about when the lakers didn’t want to sign Ty Lue as head coach when lebron wanted him when he came?
I’m glad somebody can tell the truth , this is all facts
People don't wanna hold LeGM accountable for the decisions he makes, they blame everybody (russel westbrook, ad, coaches, etc.) but him
Injuries have been what messed up the team. No team in NBA history is making noise when both of your star players get hurt like that
'19 LeBron injuried
'20 Chip
'21 running through the league, LeBron misses 20 games straight, AD misses 30 straight. Toying with the suns, AD get's hurt.
'22 (year they got westbrook) AD and LeBron misses 26 games, AD misses 42
'23 made a trade, made the WCF. then this year 54 games left, and they have a chance to make the playoffs again.
Lebron ruins the young core of organisations, fair enough he wins a chip, but after he doesn't get what he wants afterwards, he dips@@makesmartTROYces
That Grizzlies cap is nice af LOW.
but with a curry shirt is crazy 😂
Mj never cried about not having enough help. How many superstar team mates do Lebron need to win? Also if Lebron care so much about winning why is he on a poison earning 47 mil a year eating up a lot of the Lakers cap space. If he wanted to win he would taken less money so the Lakers could sign a superstar free agent.
The billionaire signing a 47m dollar contract.
Bron is truly a shithead
We had some decent to good defenders, and length on our wings, and they gave that up for Russ.
Every thing low as said is the truth a whole 200%
Hearing Low mention Julius in a positive light is weird
Nah yea the bulls were in something 😂😂 apparently they wanted Kuminga in exchange for Caruso in some form 😅
Who came up with the name first you or Zach Lowe
LeBron is an excellent lesson for GMs and owners. When your star starts thinking he's a shadow GM and starts "advising" team leadership, YOU SHUT THAT SH*T DOWN IMMEDIATELY. You let the player know he is an EMPLOYEE. That he should take his paycheck and shut the hell up.
Next guy to do that is probably going to get a different response than what LeBron got.
And then he loses his job. These guys got their hands tied behind their back working with lebron, its no wonder the last guy who has ever done this to him was pat riley
Ive never seen a “goat” require soooo much help. Lol gen z clowns
Only move they needed to make was to get rid of Starvin Darvin green eggs and HAM
Rob said LeBron likes the roster on his recent press conference he put Bron in the trick bag 😂😂😂😂
No one needs to be fired on the Laker staff. Theirs one problem this season, a player that stopped playing defense, stopped encouraging the younger players, only plays to pad his stats. This player is secretly hated by most of the other stars in the NBA. His name is Lebron Romain James 😂😂😂😂😂
4:14 😭😭😭
Lakers are going with Continuity.
I'm surprised Lakers didn't go after Pistons Bojan, Alek Burks, and 2nd round pick for Rui and DLo or Austin Reeves.
Sometimes it looks like pelinka gets his trade ideas from twitter,
I wouldn't be surprised if he actually was offering that THT and 1st round pick for superstars just like the memes .
Screw LeBron.
Lakers need to make moves for themselves.
The funniest thing is they already had Alex Caruso
They got Spencer that's a great pick up
🤣🤣🤣 No Help this time around. Magic and Kareem never screamed for help
Lakers were stacked in their era
Mj also never cried i need more help.
Lol nba fans think it’s like 2k where they can force trades 😭😭😭
The team doesn’t need trades. He needed an experienced coach that’s capable of being consistent and not still making lineup changes close to the allstar
Imagine Lebron & AD being healthy all year and then being a play in team lmao
LBJ’s time in LA is so odd lol. The fan base in LA is so split and he himself just doesn’t really exude that Lakers culture that has been upheld, but that’s what I think there.
T think it's just Kobe stans, those are the only people that have problem with him. They're just used to Kobe. I'm not sure what exuding the Lakers culture would look like tbh.
@@makesmartTROYces I don’t think it’s just Kobe stans and most of those stans are probably Lakers fans too, because of Kobe or they grew up in that era. Saying they’re used to Kobe doesn’t make sense respectfully. Ofc they’re used to Kobe, because a generation grew up on him, he held a standard for the time he played here, and did his part in exemplifying what it was to be a Laker.
I’m a local, and a born and raised Lakers fan. I witnessed LBJ get booed on TV by some folks at a TGI Friday’s once here, and that would’ve never happened to other Lakers legends like Kobe/Magic/Shaq. LA loves the Lakers. It wasn’t even a Lakers game on the TV, but a HS Football game for Sierra Canyon, where LBJ Jr. attended and showed LBJ Sr. watching the HS Football game in the stands.
@@Spider-Complexion I try to differentiate the two.
When I think "fan" I think of someone who doesn't try to dim his light in comparison to Kobe. When I think of stan I think someone who would say "Kobe woulda hit that shot, LeBron isn't clutch, LeBron isn't a real laker, I never wanted LeBron anyways" etc.
I remember when Kobe died, LeBron made a post about Kobe on Instagram. The comments were flooded with people saying he sacrificed him. I saw some Laker and Kobe profile pics saying it too, those are stans to me.
Lebron took the easy route every time.
That's why we don't love him like that in LA.
The best decision they made was keeping this team. Bc they have everything needed it’s just the team hasn’t been consistent. That’s all it is whether it’s the coaching or guys in and out because of injuries, it all circles back to inconsistency. U makes trades and then you get worse, lose team chemistry, and if you don’t make a good run? It’s a total loss. I’m glad they didn’t do anything because they would’ve panicked again and made a terrible trade like the Westbrook era. Why disrupts everything you guys did last year… makes no sense
to be fair in the years they had Russ, LeBron and AD missed a very very very significant amount of time.
1st yr LeBron missed 20 straight & AD missed 40 straight. 2nd year AD was literally out over 1/2 the season, he missed 42 games & LeBron missed 26.
As a nets fan im beyond happy spencer dinkleburg is off my team.
Lakers need a big rebounding center
