DK is going through growing pain like Max Christie was going through for the first quarter of the season but he has played his way into the starting lineup. The difference is if Max can't score, he is still a good defender. DK is only a one way player right now....
to be honest i think in some way this is good long term. I mean hes a rookie he was about to go through a slump. And there was no way he was going to stay this hot the entire year. nmore likely he may be able to establish some consistency for post season. Hes too much in his opwn head, hell get over it thhis season at som epoint
THANKYOU FIRE ROB!!!!!!!!!!! You give up 40% 3pt in quincy for a 3 string who scored 0 points!! Rui So inconsistent Dude getting paid 15 mill and he scored 7 pts
@@Lonesomeware You one of these delusional people who makes up a story and then argues against it 🤣. I wore a jersey to a game sweetheart - end of story. You wonder around looking for arguments often? Get some help!
I totally agree Trevor. I'm wondering why JJ is playing DK when he can't hit the broadside of a barn..I've already questioned many of JJs player decisions.
Rob released Quincy Olivari for THAT? We talk about Rob "missing around the edges." With Quincy, Rob didn't just miss around the edges. He missed in the meat!
Y’all don’t understand people play the lakers like they life depends on it . Everybody hate and loves to play us it’s everybody championship game . That’s why when the playoffs start we gone be battle tested already . I see the bigger picture
I've been making this point for years, LAL exceptionalism is half because we get everybody's best shot every night - so if we're good enough to take that and end up a top 4 seed it's never a fluke and we got a real chance at a deep run. Still, not super thrilled with Olivari being dropped, also not loving the lack of Cam and Shake minutes on a night Dalton ain't got it - you can usually tell within a few minutes if he's on it that night or not, but - I'll trust JJ till he blows that trust that he sees something we don't for the big picture
Laker fans deserve obscurity when AD, Bron and I hope Reeves leave. Y’all really need to settle down and realize the NBA has so much talent now, you’re not gonna run through the league unscathed. Y’all are the most sourpuss fanbase Ive ever followed. Forever whining whether it’s a win or a loss. I can’t imagine any young superstar would be willing to come here in the future. Terrible front office: messed up trades, Kobe’s statue, messed the jersey up recently, letting go young talent and then on top of that the fans will boo their own players. Can y’all just enjoy basketball?
I really don't think this is unique to the lakers lol. They're a marquee team, so I kinda expect this behavior. But it's not limited to just lakers fans. Its sports fans overall. Instead of enjoying the game for the fun factor, they over analyze and gripe about everything. Treating it like a job instead of entertainment. It's not that serious. 😂😊
I'm reading so many comments about Knecht needs to go to the G-league. Maybe so. But why isn't anyone questioning the coaching? You have a player struggling to make 3s. Yet they send him out there to shoot more 3s. The coaching staff have not set him up to run a few P&Rs to take a 15-18 ft shot or drive to the basket to get an easier shot. There is more to the game than shooting 3s. Put people in position to succeed and score even if it is a two point shot.
I been saying this for awhile Dalton doesn’t need to be playing if he’s consistently not making shots. Would rather have Cam’s defense than Dalton’s nothing if he ain’t scoring.
Crazy how nobody mentions why it came down to the last shot for the NETS ? Cuz Austin took and missed last 5 shots for the lakers and if LBJ don’t get that last rebound we lose ! Now imagine if LBJ took those 5 shots and missed all of them like Austin did everyone would be on him !!!
So, let me get this straight. AR shoots 50% from 3s. 56% from the field. 8/8 (100%} from the free throw line. Played the most minutes (37) of any player. Scored when no one else was scoring. And yet we're supposed to be mad because he missed some shots? And ZERO turnovers. Okay. I guess we need to make up excuses to be mad about something these days. And if LeBron played that well and missed shots down the stretch I'd be defending him too.
@@whodaboss99 They are just hatters, they will always hate. If it was not for Reaves, we would have been at least 10 pts down before he started to miss. I mean the Nets were putting 3s after 3s.
We were the fourth seed and didn't stay there. I think that it would be fair to say that the Lakers are not where we would like them to be, but it has nothing to do with AD, Lebron, or Reaves, and everything to do with every other player on the team. How about someone besides those three step up and improve their game.
Great win beating the team Clippers beat by 59 points. Lakers should've never been in a dog fight with nets. But i know the truth is a hard pill to swallow. Go lakers
46:19 i really like dejounte , hes been off this season but w a chance to win i think he will pick up his play. He can be a secondary poa w his length and athleticism and hes a good rebounder for a pg whixh is another weakness for us. He can create and score w sum defense and we desperately need that
Technically true but very disingenuous to ignore the fact that some of the nets best players who played in this game were out last game against a healthy clippers squad. On top of that half of our rotation guys were out for this game including AD. Regardless, I agree that it should not be coming down to the last possession but there is valuable context that must be applied.
Career high or not….AR going like 0-4 in crunch time damn near lost us the game!! Smart by nets to double team LBJ all through the final min but damn AR pass the damn ball….you was hot all game but make the right play. If DLO hits that final 3 those 38pts don’t mean anything compared to 4 straight missed shots with no other Laker getting an attempt.
Are we really going to start talking about Dalton not being playable not even halfway through the season…? A couple months ago everyone wanted him to start 😂 for god sake just let the man play and get his reps in. This is how the NBA wastes talent by not letting players get the experience they need. Your favorite HOF players all went through shooting slumps and looked like bums several times during their careers. Dalton is a solid rookie with a bright future.

Rob is one of only a few GMs to build a championship roster. Us fans or trevor lane don't know what conversations the lakers are having or if teams are trying to take advantage of us. Are you guys giving up 2 inprotected frps for a backup like Walker kessler? Have patience guys.
I was thinking about it and this team is built for playoffs. Look at almost every other team even the bad ones. Run and gun young athletes that can bully lakers on any given night. But a 7 game series I like my chances
Honest question, do you feel like losing D'lo made us a better team? I feel like in the short term it was not a helpful trade. Hopefully it pans out but I have my doubts
Bring up Graham from the South Bay Lakers as your backup PG...Rui is too damn inconsistent for this team so he has to be traded for a more bench pieces and start DFS when he comes back
do u guys see how DLO organized the Nets offense even with gleague players versus how AR runs ours.. forcing AR will be the downfall of this team.. good player but he’s shouldn’t be the starting PG..
Man stop we won because of AR and DLO got COOKED defensively and LOST, Stop with the DLO shit he’s gone and gone forever, He sucks in the playoffs when it matters most, AR cooked the Nets tonight
@@AndreP1524bro u couldn’t name two players on the Nets roster outside of dlo & ben simmons n we almost lost.. i’m not a dlo fan but i just saw how he ran the PG position.. AR gives me vibes of a great scorer off the bench..oh yeah AR only avg 2pts more than DLO in the playoffs 😂
@@wills.9422 I wonder who was a solid NBA dude outside of James and AR. And if ur team got hot from 3, anything can happen. The NETS was on fire and hitting some ridiculous shots. Hoe u remember hiw the Lakers defeated healthy Celtics last season despite James and AD not playing.
I agree ☝️ but Dlo doesn’t show up in the playoffs. Both of them need to be traded, trade AR while his stock is high, because he’s been exposed defensively and it’ll be worse in the playoffs, because he can’t hide behind Dlo anymore
Dalton is unplayable right now let the guy ride the bench until after the allstar break or something. He needs to take a step back and regroup his confidence. Hes so lost on both ends right now.
Listen guys, I realize the nets lost by 60 the other night, I've been saying this whole time this is a trap game. Anytime a team loses by that much usually storms back and plays angry the next game and credit the nets for doing that. They played hard. Its not that the Lakers didn't play well the nets played much better and they fought hard. Credit to them. Happy with the win. By 1 point but hey a win is a win is a win. I'll take it
LeBron James and Anthony Davis a WASHED up duo who's not good enough anymore to lead a team to championship they part of problem so try again they lost two playoff series to Nuggets 4-0 and 4-1 over Lakers and y'all blame Darvin Ham and D'angelo Russell they both gone and still the WASHED up duo losing lol LeBron James and Anthony Davis missed playoffs 33-49 losing record with Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard 3 hall of fame teammates both wanted before 2021-2022 season before Frank Vogel got fired lol LeBron James Old And WASHED not good enough anymore to lead a team to championship no matter how many teammates y'all blame Russell Westbrook or D'angelo Russell or coaches fired Frank Vogel or Darvin Ham now y'all trying to Scapegoat Rob Pelinka lol Goat 🐐 Jordan 6 rings, 6 finals mvps only 1 all star teammate Scottie Pippen compare to LeBron 6 finals losses and still doesn't have atleast 5 rings despite playing with Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook more all stars and hall of famers
@StackhouseJerry If you and that douchbag read my comment I'm not even talking about his soliloquy bs he's talking about. Maybe you would understand if you read it too. To say Lebron is washed when he's putting up one of the best numbers in his career is totally foolish and shows what you and him don't know. Trolling people on here over lebron james and this is how you get your kicks? What a joyful life you live in. If you think lebron is washed and gonna retire soon I got news for you pal, I believe you're gonna be in for a big surprise so you better start digging that hole that you have to hide in.
6:57 why does JJ still do this? You CANNOT have BOTH STAR PLAYERS OFF THE COURT AT THE SAME TIME. Especially for this team. When the Nuggets were beating everybody they never did this type of bullshit. If Jokic is off, Murray is on or vice versa. Taking off your two stars at once is just a stupid way to let teams back in the game. Not even the Bucks do that with Dame & Giannis.
No other team in the NBA has a 40 year old who they rely on even half as much as the lakers do lebron. If AD isn’t playing then of course there will be times where lebron and AR are both off the floor for a minute, lebron is old af and can’t be out there doing everything himself with no other star or elite player on the floor with him
@@YouReallyDontKnow Dude JJ been doing this. He did at times with all 3 guys too when all 3 are available. It is the most idiotic tactic I've seen him use. For no reason. And even if you want to just limit what I'm saying to this particular game only. Why tf are BOTH of them off at the SAME TIME? Thats the issue. If LeBron is off then AR should be on and keep staggering minutes til the 4th.
@seowth I'm trying to figure out if you and the previous person either not reading all of what I said. Or lack understanding. If one player is off the bloody court that doesn't mean the other one plays whole 48 minutes. Did the freaking Nuggets have to play Jokic 48 minutes? No! You play both at the start of the 1st and the end of the 4th but stagger the minutes in between to make sure one of them is always on the court. So if you take LeBron out, AR stays in. If you take AR out, LeBron goes back in. Where tf were you guys when this was actually done right? Do you not know how contending teams built around 2 or 3 guys work? Its not rocket science. The Celtics are the only team built around 2 guys that can afford to have both those guys off at the same time. Since they have a deep roster to support. And I hardly ever see their coach doing it. Almost every time when Tatum is off, Brown is on and vice versa. There is no need to have both your stars off the floor it is dumb basketball. Do you know how happy opposing teams would be to be playing Lakers and see the stars on the bench at the same time? And 1 of the things that irritates me about YT threads is you guys normally say dumb stuff. Then disappear when you're corrected.
The Lakers haven't blown anyone out this yr... not even against terrible, bad teams.... they play down to those teams & that is not what legit Champs do...
If LA is serious about building a contending team K4’s gotta go. He won’t be giving us any playoff minutes and if Rob can move him for a young but more established player like Kessler or even Cam Thomas you do it
This game had no business being that close. I swear Rob needs to be fired after this season if the Lakers miss the playoffs or get bounced. Games like this makes me question why the Lakers keeping Rui? How the hell are you going to play 30 min and only manage to get 10 pts and shoot atrociously from 3 (1-4) and shoot 4-10, i swear idk who was more inconsistent, Rui or Dlo when he was on the roster. Again with Max Christie aka THT 2.0, giving him minutes where he doesn't do anything, cant be out there for 30 min plus and only manage to get 7 pts on 2-13 shooting... WHAT IS JJ DOING AT THAT POINT... Still dont get why the FO let Quincy go, he shot a high percentage from 3, they could use his shooting....
A win is a win. Not the best looking game but I'll take it. Also what in thee hell is wrong with Ben Simmons? I've never seen a pro player so reluctant to shoot the ball.
Jamison looked terrible Dalton looked terrible Our role players are not consistent Glad Gabe has been showing up lately but other teams still look at us and laugh knowing he is the staple of our bench
@outhereq1 I wouldn't trade a really good player in his late 20's and promising rookie in the first place. We need to grow and develop our young players (Max, Dalton, even JJS and Bronny), not keep trading them away.
@@dmitryowens murrary is 28 and in his prime. He's a much better player and fit than rui. Dalton is an older rookie who at best will be a micro wave scorer. Murrary is a legit all star level 3rd star material on a good contract. I no way should the players going out from l.a side stop the deal. Imo its the opportunity factor, of once they do this, not much else moves. Can be made and this probably doesn't get them a chip
You can see that this Laker team is weak on defense an offense again the way they play will be good in the G league. Until such a time they develop young talent and not give LB and AD all the minutes then the team will be mediocre.
Lakers Dejounte Murray Walker Kessler Pelicans Rui Hachimura Gabe Vincent Christian Wood Jazz Jalen Hood Schifino Jose Alvarado Listening to today's episode this is best case scenario if we trade for Murray. It would really boost our defense but Murray's scoring efficiency has been really bad this season
I love my Laker nation but everything can’t be negative. Every game There’s a fine line between constructive criticism and constant picking to choose to be negative do better guys.
Lebron again was the worst starter by a country mile smh. He's such a defensive likability at this point that whatever he's giving you offensively is immediately neutralized on the other side of the ball smh. There's no way this team can have 2 bigs on the floor at the same time with Lebron what position is Lebron going to guard? They're already switching like crazy because Lebron won't fight through screens anymore and doesn't want to have follow an offensive player around the court. Which is why Austin Reaves and Rui are always getting burned trying to cover both their man an Lebron's especially when he's in that stupid one man zone near the basket looking for cheap and easy rebounds. Oh and Dlo still had a better plus/minus than mr. Turnover machine himself LBJ
@lord4806 well then you're ears clearly work better than your eyes smh. What's their to hear? You can just see it on and off the court with you're own 2 eyes
I don’t think no one is DLO fanboys alot of us just thought the trade was stupid.. DLO was a good trade asset for something better.. watch how AR performs against the clippers.. i guarantee you the first 6 points will be scored against him…
@@wills.9422 I think Lakers fans viewed him as a good trade asset but other organizations did not. The Trail Blazers and Jazz both had 0 interest in him hell even Hawks fans were chanting "we don't want you" during his trade talks last season. He is not well respected in the NBA
@@wills.9422 Even with the expiring contract teams did not want him. The Nets were pretty much the only option because they want to have a ton of open cap space to go into the offseason with.

Rob is one of only a few GMs to build a championship roster. Us fans or trevor lane don't know what conversations the lakers are having or if teams are trying to take advantage of us. Are you guys giving up 2 inprotected frps for a backup like Walker kessler? Have patience guys.
Delicious Tacos IS A GR8 NAME!!!!
I was thinking about it and this team is built for playoffs. Look at almost every other team even the bad ones. Run and gun young athletes that can bully lakers on any given night. But a 7 game series I like my chances
Dalton needs to go down to the G league for a bit he’s not ready
Honest question, do you feel like losing D'lo made us a better team? I feel like in the short term it was not a helpful trade. Hopefully it pans out but I have my doubts
That’s how I also feel
Dk needs to go to the g league for a few games get his rhythm back
Bring up Graham from the South Bay Lakers as your backup PG...Rui is too damn inconsistent for this team so he has to be traded for a more bench pieces and start DFS when he comes back
@patchesneddy you are not a lakers fan stop commenting on a lakers channel worry about your own team if you have one troll!!! !!! !!!
Who?😂
For God sakes Rob get us a Real big man. We lose the rebound battle every game. We can’t be bad at rebound AND 3’s. Figure it out
do u guys see how DLO organized the Nets offense even with gleague players versus how AR runs ours.. forcing AR will be the downfall of this team.. good player but he’s shouldn’t be the starting PG..
Man stop we won because of AR and DLO got COOKED defensively and LOST, Stop with the DLO shit he’s gone and gone forever, He sucks in the playoffs when it matters most, AR cooked the Nets tonight
@@AndreP1524bro u couldn’t name two players on the Nets roster outside of dlo & ben simmons n we almost lost.. i’m not a dlo fan but i just saw how he ran the PG position.. AR gives me vibes of a great scorer off the bench..oh yeah AR only avg 2pts more than DLO in the playoffs 😂
@@wills.9422
I wonder who was a solid NBA dude outside of James and AR. And if ur team got hot from 3, anything can happen. The NETS was on fire and hitting some ridiculous shots. Hoe u remember hiw the Lakers defeated healthy Celtics last season despite James and AD not playing.
I agree ☝️ but Dlo doesn’t show up in the playoffs. Both of them need to be traded, trade AR while his stock is high, because he’s been exposed defensively and it’ll be worse in the playoffs, because he can’t hide behind Dlo anymore
@@appetizerssushi7121 they're both glorified bench players nor real true starters.mive been saying they needed to trade BOFF'UM.
Get rid of the 40 year old
?? Someone said trade Trey? He just got there one day ago! 😂
It's clearer without AD defense is zero....6years AD is on the team and Pelinka still didn't get it apart 2020 squad.
Dalton is unplayable right now let the guy ride the bench until after the allstar break or something. He needs to take a step back and regroup his confidence. Hes so lost on both ends right now.
JJ have to play cam Sunday for defense
Quincy Olivieri is a better shooter than Max Christie…….and Knecht at this point. Lakers shipped him off for a center.
AR struggles have been real, but not as bad as Dlo for us. I'm glad to see they both played well, but I'll take AR 🎉 💜💛
AD was out so why even mention make a comment about their playoff potential
it's crazy that LBJ had the worse game outta all the starters +/- ...TOs are a killer for him and Reaves
Listen guys, I realize the nets lost by 60 the other night, I've been saying this whole time this is a trap game. Anytime a team loses by that much usually storms back and plays angry the next game and credit the nets for doing that. They played hard. Its not that the Lakers didn't play well the nets played much better and they fought hard. Credit to them. Happy with the win. By 1 point but hey a win is a win is a win. I'll take it
LeBron James and Anthony Davis a WASHED up duo who's not good enough anymore to lead a team to championship they part of problem so try again they lost two playoff series to Nuggets 4-0 and 4-1 over Lakers and y'all blame Darvin Ham and D'angelo Russell they both gone and still the WASHED up duo losing lol
LeBron James and Anthony Davis missed playoffs 33-49 losing record with Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard 3 hall of fame teammates both wanted before 2021-2022 season before Frank Vogel got fired lol
LeBron James Old And WASHED not good enough anymore to lead a team to championship no matter how many teammates y'all blame Russell Westbrook or D'angelo Russell or coaches fired Frank Vogel or Darvin Ham now y'all trying to Scapegoat Rob Pelinka lol
Goat 🐐 Jordan 6 rings, 6 finals mvps only 1 all star teammate Scottie Pippen compare to LeBron 6 finals losses and still doesn't have atleast 5 rings despite playing with Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook more all stars and hall of famers
@RiceAddy-b3k Lol you just posted all of this and 99.9% of it is complete nonsense. Try doing better.
@StackhouseJerry If you and that douchbag read my comment I'm not even talking about his soliloquy bs he's talking about. Maybe you would understand if you read it too. To say Lebron is washed when he's putting up one of the best numbers in his career is totally foolish and shows what you and him don't know. Trolling people on here over lebron james and this is how you get your kicks? What a joyful life you live in. If you think lebron is washed and gonna retire soon I got news for you pal, I believe you're gonna be in for a big surprise so you better start digging that hole that you have to hide in.
Get knect time with g league, he needs play time, not deer in headlights time
6:57 why does JJ still do this? You CANNOT have BOTH STAR PLAYERS OFF THE COURT AT THE SAME TIME. Especially for this team. When the Nuggets were beating everybody they never did this type of bullshit. If Jokic is off, Murray is on or vice versa. Taking off your two stars at once is just a stupid way to let teams back in the game. Not even the Bucks do that with Dame & Giannis.
No other team in the NBA has a 40 year old who they rely on even half as much as the lakers do lebron. If AD isn’t playing then of course there will be times where lebron and AR are both off the floor for a minute, lebron is old af and can’t be out there doing everything himself with no other star or elite player on the floor with him
@@YouReallyDontKnow Dude JJ been doing this. He did at times with all 3 guys too when all 3 are available. It is the most idiotic tactic I've seen him use. For no reason. And even if you want to just limit what I'm saying to this particular game only. Why tf are BOTH of them off at the SAME TIME? Thats the issue. If LeBron is off then AR should be on and keep staggering minutes til the 4th.
Oh so you wanted LeBron to play 48 minutes ? 😂 you do realize AD didnt play right?
@seowth I'm trying to figure out if you and the previous person either not reading all of what I said. Or lack understanding. If one player is off the bloody court that doesn't mean the other one plays whole 48 minutes. Did the freaking Nuggets have to play Jokic 48 minutes? No! You play both at the start of the 1st and the end of the 4th but stagger the minutes in between to make sure one of them is always on the court. So if you take LeBron out, AR stays in. If you take AR out, LeBron goes back in. Where tf were you guys when this was actually done right? Do you not know how contending teams built around 2 or 3 guys work? Its not rocket science. The Celtics are the only team built around 2 guys that can afford to have both those guys off at the same time. Since they have a deep roster to support. And I hardly ever see their coach doing it. Almost every time when Tatum is off, Brown is on and vice versa. There is no need to have both your stars off the floor it is dumb basketball. Do you know how happy opposing teams would be to be playing Lakers and see the stars on the bench at the same time?
And 1 of the things that irritates me about YT threads is you guys normally say dumb stuff. Then disappear when you're corrected.
The Lakers haven't blown anyone out this yr... not even against terrible, bad teams.... they play down to those teams & that is not what legit Champs do...
If LA is serious about building a contending team K4’s gotta go. He won’t be giving us any playoff minutes and if Rob can move him for a young but more established player like Kessler or even Cam Thomas you do it
AR plays well vs bad teams and like 💩 vs playoff teams 😅
Good Ole AR averaged 16.8 ppg on 48 pct fg vs Denver in the 2024 playoffs....
@@CannedHam2479folks just say stuff. In the West conference finals against Denver he averaged 20 ppg
@@marksong7462 Well said
12 million dollar player lol not like he's making 20 plus. He's a great value contract just need more pieces he should not have to be a key defender.
@@marksong7462Yeah, when we were down already 😅
This game had no business being that close. I swear Rob needs to be fired after this season if the Lakers miss the playoffs or get bounced. Games like this makes me question why the Lakers keeping Rui? How the hell are you going to play 30 min and only manage to get 10 pts and shoot atrociously from 3 (1-4) and shoot 4-10, i swear idk who was more inconsistent, Rui or Dlo when he was on the roster. Again with Max Christie aka THT 2.0, giving him minutes where he doesn't do anything, cant be out there for 30 min plus and only manage to get 7 pts on 2-13 shooting... WHAT IS JJ DOING AT THAT POINT... Still dont get why the FO let Quincy go, he shot a high percentage from 3, they could use his shooting....
A win is a win. Not the best looking game but I'll take it. Also what in thee hell is wrong with Ben Simmons? I've never seen a pro player so reluctant to shoot the ball.
Should we consider trading Knecht for Kessler?
What about trading for LUGUENTZ DORT we need a dog 🐕 on defense
Bron 5 to's -11, have to go with Reaves.
Davis rui austin for matisse grant ayton ?
Wtf??
@seowth we need a dog to defend the ball 😤 davis is over rated
@seowth austin is nice on offense but he's a liability on defense
Star in your role: Lakers Fans 😅

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao Trey? Who are these bum centers? Lakers FO are such greedy bums man! 😑
Jamison looked terrible
Dalton looked terrible
Our role players are not consistent
Glad Gabe has been showing up lately but other teams still look at us and laugh knowing he is the staple of our bench
43:51
Rui AND Dalton? Hell no!
It's not even enough money going out. Need to be gabe and not jhs, even if they was going to do it
@outhereq1
I wouldn't trade a really good player in his late 20's and promising rookie in the first place. We need to grow and develop our young players (Max, Dalton, even JJS and Bronny), not keep trading them away.
@@dmitryowens murrary is 28 and in his prime. He's a much better player and fit than rui. Dalton is an older rookie who at best will be a micro wave scorer. Murrary is a legit all star level 3rd star material on a good contract. I no way should the players going out from l.a side stop the deal. Imo its the opportunity factor, of once they do this, not much else moves. Can be made and this probably doesn't get them a chip
@outhereq1 It's Murray. And Rui is only 27 and he's a PF, not a PG. I didn't understand your whole comment because your English is bad.
@@dmitryowens na u just can't read.
this somehow felt like a loss , winning by 1 against a team that WANTS TO LOSE and plays bums. pathetic
DK has simply lost his confidence. Not hard to do. I think the Lakers play too much hero ball.Not enough passing.
Rui stop shooting mid range shots
My butt was clenched on the last Possesion and then i saw Dlo pull up and i was relieved before he missed. thank god hes gone :D
You can see that this Laker team is weak on defense an offense again the way they play will be good in the G league. Until such a time they develop young talent and not give LB and AD all the minutes then the team will be mediocre.
Rui + Dalton + JHS + 1 first + 1 second is enough for Dejounte Murray.
It prob is but still gonna get killed in the paint and boards. Also giving up on Rui and dalton for Murray will not be a good sign.
We miss you DLO bruddah 💜💛💜💛💜😢💯
Bruce Brown is trash now - he's basically Gabe Vincent, but maybe even worse.
Koloko is better than hayes period
Gabe Vincent is Rajon Rondo from 2020. Dalton is not getting enough shots.
I mean Knecht has only made 12 of his last 66 three point attempts. Not gonna get more shots shooting like that
Outside of Ad bron and ar, the lakers have no serious 4th option
When we play good teams we don’t have a serious 3rd option 😂
Lakers
Dejounte Murray
Walker Kessler
Pelicans
Rui Hachimura
Gabe Vincent
Christian Wood
Jazz
Jalen Hood Schifino
Jose Alvarado
Listening to today's episode this is best case scenario if we trade for Murray. It would really boost our defense but Murray's scoring efficiency has been really bad this season
Please explain why the pelicans would do that
Pelicans and Jazz would never agree to this
Why not just give the Lakers Giannis for a second rounder while you're at it. Lol
This team is a dumpster fire. Time to rebuild
The clippers are going to destroy the lakers
At this point play Bronny or cam unless they can play defense instead of dalton
dlo clears finney smith
Team is trash
I love my Laker nation but everything can’t be negative. Every game There’s a fine line between constructive criticism and constant picking to choose to be negative do better guys.
I told ppl that dlo trade was trash
And nothing has happened yet to prove you right so I'm not sure what exactly gives you the merit to front run.
@WanyeKest24 18-13 before the trade 4-4 after with multiple 20 point losses u just beat Brooklyn by 1 we was 12 point favorites
DFS didn’t play. AR scores 38. And this was your conclusion ? Our fanbase is cooked
@natalomoretti he needed a career high to beat a lottery team by 1 point yea u cook thinking this was a good win
@@canady82 you’re arguing with yourself lil bro who said it was a good win, you said the trade was trash.. if you love DLO so much go support the Nets
Lebron again was the worst starter by a country mile smh. He's such a defensive likability at this point that whatever he's giving you offensively is immediately neutralized on the other side of the ball smh. There's no way this team can have 2 bigs on the floor at the same time with Lebron what position is Lebron going to guard? They're already switching like crazy because Lebron won't fight through screens anymore and doesn't want to have follow an offensive player around the court. Which is why Austin Reaves and Rui are always getting burned trying to cover both their man an Lebron's especially when he's in that stupid one man zone near the basket looking for cheap and easy rebounds. Oh and Dlo still had a better plus/minus than mr. Turnover machine himself LBJ
The old and faithful its all Lebrons fault. Hearing that for 20+ years.
@lord4806 well then you're ears clearly work better than your eyes smh. What's their to hear? You can just see it on and off the court with you're own 2 eyes
D'Lo fanboys, please take this opportunity to leave and never come back. Thanks.
I don’t think no one is DLO fanboys alot of us just thought the trade was stupid.. DLO was a good trade asset for something better.. watch how AR performs against the clippers.. i guarantee you the first 6 points will be scored against him…
@@wills.9422 I think Lakers fans viewed him as a good trade asset but other organizations did not. The Trail Blazers and Jazz both had 0 interest in him hell even Hawks fans were chanting "we don't want you" during his trade talks last season. He is not well respected in the NBA
@@LeroyRickerson 18 mil expiring contract is what i was getting at..
@@wills.9422 Ok so name me some players in the 18 mil range who LA could've got for DLO
@@wills.9422 Even with the expiring contract teams did not want him. The Nets were pretty much the only option because they want to have a ton of open cap space to go into the offseason with.
