Lakers, please do not trade these prospects let these guys develop and I’m telling you they’re gonna be a problem Maxwell Lewis if we can get him better defensively with all the athleticism he got he could possibly be a candidate for defense of player of the year in the future please don’t trade these guys give these guys some minutes
Tall and switchy players. Very versatile with a high ceiling. Including Max Christie, Austin Reaves, and Rui Hachimura, the future is looking bright!!!
Totally agree with pelinka. It doesn’t matter what other teams are doing. Let’s just keep improving and worrying about our own team. Keep the core together 👏👏
Welcome Max Lewis & Jalen. So glad that the Lakers drafted a guard and wing who have extremely great potential to be tough minded 3&D players which is what the Lakers need more of. Max Christie has amazing potential too.
I’m already a huge Fino fan and Maxwell seems like he was a huge steal at 40! 🔥💯 Can’t wait for Summer League, it’s gonna be so much fun with these two and Christie 🔥🔥🔥
The Lakers need to start believing in their youth more and let them play that is the only way to build a future. I am so glad I live in Vegas for Summer League I will live there
I agree, just thinking about the strides that Reaves and Rui made shows that giving them the chance WILL pay off. I expect Christie to get minutes this coming year!
I think this is the year you’ll see the lakers and Bron/AD really let the role players and young guys takeover. I think it’s the only way to a title this season. AD/Bron cruise thru the regular season while playing 55-68 games and turn it up come playoffs. I think they take it seriously and strategically knowing this could be both AD’s and Bron’s last season in LA.
@@jameeljames2338 Its gonna come down to the coach did Ham learn anything in the off-season will he give the keys to the young guys. Will Lebron accept his ew role as a SuperRole Player and not jack up ill-advised shots still trying to be a superstar. I would love for the Lakers to come into this season with a spirited, fun, cocky college team excitement and play with alot of energy on both ends. I am more excited about seeing a new build than I am looking for more of the same. This will only work if Ham trusts more and gives the Young Guns some run time
As good as Denver was, their main weapon was being well-rested. The second was the length. They are built after Laker's bubble model. While the Lakers went backwards trying to get a playmaker to relieve LBJ. So I love the length of these guys. 💜💛
Thank you some laker fan with some sense. Everyone clowning on dlo but he did good in the regular season and we need the regular season to get to the playoffs and hopefully get a good enough record to do what Denver did with their guys at the end of the season
We can’t afford to lose future over one possible final year of Lebron. Is not worth it. We can bring in players in free agency to fill in needs we don’t need to do anything crazy to improve the roster. Trading Dlo though is something I’m interested in if the player we get back is possibly a player that can play both ends of the floor if not we should stick with Dlo.
Reaves qualifying offer totaled 2,189,698; Hachimura’s QO carries a $8,486,619 price tag. The Lakers have prioritized re-signing both players, who sparked the team as it reached the Western Conference Finals. Reaves averaged 13 points and 3.4 assists in 28.8 minutes during the regular season. His breakthrough campaign continued into the postseason, when he averaged 16.9 points, 4.6 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 36.2 minutes
Let’s go Max & Jalen! With Max Christie, we may have our future. I love what Jesse Buss & the scouting department has done over the years, I have no doubt in him. Maxwell is going to be the one!
Fun fact, Jalens uncle knows Bron and Maverick from his Akron days. Played football for the University of Akron and was a member of the 2002 NFL Draft class 💯
I hope both players are allowed to develop and let them take their time. And media does not put unrealistic expectations on their shoulders. Hopefully lakers staff develop christie, maxwell, JHS and Pippen Jr.
Good luck for the young core of Lakers Max Christie, JHS and Maxel Lewis, Hopefully will translate their game in Lakers Rotation and in NBA, and Good luck for the Lakers in upcoming Free agents this Friday hopefully will help the players this coming Season.
If Rob don’t trade these guys in the next 3 years & let them stay & develop there going to be a problem in the league forsure & great for our franchise🏁🏁🏁
I really cant wait for summer league. Does anyone know if Max Christie is playing? PG: JHS SG: Max Christie SF: Maxwell Lewis PF: Cole Swider C: Colon Castleton That seems like a really exciting line up i hope max plays
I was just talking about free agents with my bro and we came across a guy that is exactly what we need(not all) and he might be a flower waiting to blossom. Jaxson Hayes. 23 years old, can play defense, 23 years old, going on his 5th year, 23 years old, has shown flashes but never given a real opportunity, he’s younger than Reaves, he’s a better rim protector and roller to the basket than Bamba and Wenyon, he’ll allow AD to go to the 4 if they play together and did I mention that he’s ONLY 23 years old?? What y’all think Laker nation?
FO is starting to work out 6'6+ guards and wings are the archetype now of prospective winning teams. Ham playing midget three-guard lineups in the Westbrook era gave me PTSD.
Lakers 1st Unit needs a 6'7 movement without the ball specialist with previous experience executing SET PLAYS using Pindown Screens for catch & shoot 3-pointers.
We got winners... no flash jewelry nor clothing and talking without saying we know what im saying.. :) We been getting good kids out of our draft picks, lakers got the system down...
I'm pretty afraid that they might still get traded. They still haven't sign a contract like many other rookies and no jersey presentation hmm I hope I'm wrong.
Y’all gon like Jalen Lakers fans. I’m telling you this now. His game is mature and poised and his only flaw is his shooting. With LA tweaking Rui’s shot, there’s hope that they can do it for Jalen too.
You can't expect your roster to know what to do in the playoffs unless you play the whole bench throughout your regular season. I'm excited about the new players and the existing roster. Lakers lost a lot of good coaching staff to Phoenix. Who will Ham have to replace them, and will the coaching staff be ready for the postseason and playoffs situations? Not enough off-the-ball movement, making clutch & open shots, rebounding missed shots, capitalizing extra possessions, and not enough celebrating teammates' success/avoiding critical mental failures within managing the lineups and minutes.
If max christie can get a bit stronger physically..i. am see him in the rotation..however end of the rotation with limited minutes..but that's more than nothing last season. This team is built for now and playoff tested players, so it may be difficult to give players that are raw too much playing time
Jalen seems like he is already very mature and ready for this situation .. not to say Max isn’t but he looks alot more nervous and taken back where Jalen seems like he’s every bit ready for being a laker .! Can’t wait to see them out there ! This is the most boring Time of the year for me ! Can’t wait for Summer league lol go lakers 💜 💛
Man max on cloud 9 because he really is a laker fan and to now be a laker let that man be excited and nervous but when he play yiu gonna see if the lakers let him play and not put him on the shelf
I don’t know if this RUclips channel actually responds. But how are we going to distinguish the difference between Max Christie and Maxwell Lewis. Any nickname ideas?

I like the last answer from Rob! Our rebounding needs to improve heavily if we want to make it to the Finals. We need a rebounding big.
Jakob Poeltl or Thomas Bryant
Think we could get Clint capela? Atl seem to have numerous players on trade block

Their main weapon was having a good coach. One that doesn't wait being down 3-0 to try to do something different
FINO/AR/Max #1/Max #2/Rui are a Dope Foundation for a Great Post LBJ Future!!!
Hopefully, We can get Vando & Bamba to put the work in to get Better!!!
Vando / Bamba is a combo I want to see
Future of Lakers basketball :) Excited for JHS but especially Max. Can't believe we got him at 40.
Imagine a core of Christie, Jalen, Maxwell, Rui, and Reaves. Wow. Young and talented. Not going to lie, I'm really hyped for this team's future.
Mark my words Max chrsitie is gonna be our elite shooter this season
And Fino- Reaves duo is gonna be fun to watch
Christie is full of potential. I hope he flourishes this season.
Good young men and good luck with Lakers
i think these two will do well
JHS looks wise beyond his years
Lewis looks so eager to get out and play for the Lakers
It’s Guna be fun watching these players grow

Mostly a lot of players in the draft are mostly Kobe/laker fans
These 2 kids are going to be great players

Man these guys are young bucks!
New baby lakers
Gonna go check em out july 7th in vegas summer league
Welcome to LA Lakers ❤ Goodluck on our journey 💪 🙌 🙏 n Godbless 🙏 let's goo Champ!!
Not often that your 2nd round pick has a higher ceiling than your first round pick. JHS ceilings is Malcom Brogdon while Maxwell is Paul George

Welcome to the greatest franchise in sports! 💜 💛
If Rob don’t trade these guys in the next 3 years & let them stay & develop there going to be a problem in the league forsure & great for our franchise🏁🏁🏁
Solid draft for the numbers they were selected! Let’s build and get back to the Finals!
JHS is so mature for his age. I'm pumped to see what he can do. Max Lewis seems very excited to be a Laker, major steal at 40.
JHS weights 215 and is 6’6” , appears strong and won’t be pushed around by opposing guards. With his strength he can post up the smaller guards.
Maxwell on the other hand stands 6’7” but only weights 185. He needs to gain weight.
Max just breathe a little young fella. Your a laker now 🙏🏾 speak to those media members with confidence. You deserve it
Young and eager to prove their worth. Sure to be fireworks in summer league.
Banner 18 incoming for my lakers💜💛.
straight to the G-league.........
Meant to be LAkers - FINO has a Kobe 🐍 Tattoo and Max has a Nip 🏁 Tattoo.
JHS, Max C & L, Vando, Rui, Hodge and Reaves make up a great young core moving forward.
I really cant wait for summer league. Does anyone know if Max Christie is playing?
PG: JHS
SG: Max Christie
SF: Maxwell Lewis
PF: Cole Swider
C: Colon Castleton
That seems like a really exciting line up i hope max plays
Yes Christie is playing! I’d Love to see this lineup
👑 Lakers 👑
Both players will be stars ⭐️ mark my words on that
Glad to see the lakers carrying on with the young players. We need this before are next young star arrives after Lebron retires
Getting this core ready for Luka in 2027 👀
Maxwell is going to be a really good player mark my words
They need like a month practice with Reaves he can lead these young bulls
Layback and chill? JHS, We need you to put 110% of effort and commitment into daily practice during summer to replace DLO in next season!,
Pelinka is so smart especially in how he talks. Best wishes to the rooks in their careers
