Look at the end of the day Lebron traded for these guys as he did on other teams I am keeping the same energy, Trash trash trash Trade AD and Trade Westbrook because it’s not going to get better
Chris Paul was sent to OKC w KIDS and pushed the rockets to 7 in the bubble, then was sent to the suns w a little bit older KIDS and took them to the finals. LBJ traded his core of kids for AD, yes they would have had their bumps and bruises first year and maybe a second(if he never traded them) but who knows maybe they'd be the best core rn AS LBJs gotten into his older years
I guess you could blame him for building the team but it's not his fault for westbrick missing wide open layups or the fact that David fizfale tried to run 3 point guards and 2 small forwards whenever they take lebron out.
@@tyresejones3535 Interesting point he made. If you accept the credit for the teams that did well then you take the blame when it doesn't work. He does have a point if that's going to be part of the GOAT conversation.
You can't even blame him for building the team because that is not possible for him to do in LA. Lebron will always be the topic in the media even when he is not playing because everyone gains from talking about him.
Bruh why do y’all act like Lebron has 100% authority😂 If he did im pretty sure Ty Lue would of been the head coach. Obviously they ask his opinion and want to make him happy like any team but he wasn’t the only one who signed off on Russ
I blame AD. He’s been atrocious & has allowed himself to become irrelevant in any conversation about the best big man in the league while he’s in his prime. Dude is built like a wet toothpick. Westbrook needs to go ASAP as well, but this disaster of a year falls on AD’s shoulders. Dude is soft af
Correct and AD looks particularly bad when he's playing against other dominant big man. AD looked scared of Giannis and KAT. He didn't want any part of either one. Nobody thought someone so young would just fall off a cliff like he has.
@@joshhall8965 My question is beyond the injuries why is he scared of Giannis? When AD was not injured why did he look so bad. He wasn't injured against Milwaukee or Minnesota AD is soft because he doesn't impose his will against weak undersized defenders or in critical matchups.
Doesn’t play defense,if he gave as much effort on defense as O his stats would suffer and he knows this generation doesn’t value defense anymore and media will stick up for him and ignore his lack of effort on defense
LeBron is still great offensively, but his old age shows on defense..he rests, stands, walks, and spectates instead of hustling on defense. He is no longer the rim protector, stealer, or great defensive player he was as a youngster.
jeremy lin has been avg 22, 6, 5, 1.5 on 50% shooting in the cba and g-league for the last 3 years. dude can create for himself and others. he's better than IT and joe johnson who've been playing pro am and big 3
Give Monty Williams this Laker team at the beginning of the year and I promise you they wouldn’t be 16-18. Vogel has no concept of offense, horrible rotations, always takes out the hot hand, and doesn’t know how to utilize centers. It seems like having a chip gives you blanket covering from being an atrocious coach.
I'll say this & then I'm done. Buddy wasn't going to change nothing. Lakers still would've been old, they still weren't going to be better than suns or warriors & they weren't making the finals.
It would have changed a lot actually. They traded 3 players for wesbtrook. In a buddy hield trade they probably would have been able to keep one of those 3. Plus they would have had more money to throw at Caruso and demar derozen since buddy hield is cheaper than westbrook. So it actually does change a lot
@@joyboy1720 hield sucks. They could have just signed and traded kuzma and tht for jeremi grant while keeping carsuo and kcp. They should have brought McGee back.

Recall that Kobe said the lakers were in trouble..he stated that even if he was scoring over 30 pts a game..they would still loose…didn’t make a difference.
Kobe was against trading the young guys too. He spoke about it more times than I can count. He wanted Kuz, Ingram, Hart, Clarkson and even Randall to stay. We fast forward to the present, all of those guys plus DLO and Caruso are balling. Kobe was telling the truth and so was Magic who also fought to keep them.
This is Lebron's team. He brought in these over-the-hill players who don't hustle and play defense and most importantly uncoachable because of their egos. They could have taken another route but it is always Lebron's way or the highway.

Blame the front office for giving up all those young players and trades for how they look now. Some part is on LeBron for wanting the roster the way he did.
Why not? Lechoke hand picked like 3 of their starting players. He absolutely bares some responsibility. Not to mention only playing defense like 30% of the time.

@Broussard statement is exactly why its challenging for any reasonable person to take these sports media legacy guys and their opinion serious. How is it possible for Lebron to not share any of the blame. Who is the leader and the biggest voice on the Lakers?
This dude nick tried to change the narrative of this pathetic 16-18 season and tried to make it a goat debate because lebron has stacked teams to stack the deck lol
He is stat padding is pretty obvious and barely plays defence KNOWINGLY The Lakers are so doomed and AD not available whatsoever with the injuries he just wants the records as heads into the sunset. U know this and I know this. Keep it real man.
Broussard does have a point about Pelinka being the GM and having the final say so, it comes to a point where you have to put your foot down and remind everyone including the star player who you are Pat Riley is a perfect example when LeBron went to him and tried to convince him to get rid of Spoeltra Riley told him no and 10+ years later Eric is still in Miami
Good point... How about getting Lonzo back as your point guard? That would have been a lot less expensive than Westbrook and a much better fit. Maybe Ball wouldn't have wanted to come back to the team that gave up on him too soon?
The goat debate is bias MJ didn't when 6 consecutive he doesn't have the most chips or most points. He played in an 90s era with very few Guards or sf near his level. Kobe and Bron has played against top talent their whole careers. And last I checked MJ. Pippen Rodman Tony kukoc we're all hofers. Hmmm a Big 4
Only watched Broussard's take and I have to say: "Come on Chris! Really?" I think Broussard made a bad take of trading Draymond for Ben; Draymond is the leader, enforcer and glue/backbone of the franchise. As legend as Curry is, he will never confront Ben or any team if needed. And now: sure the GM needs to take some responsibility but LBJ is the leader as well as he and AS both wanted Westbrick over Hield. At least with Hield they can space the floor. Broussard is a great analyst but come on LBJ deserve some blame. He did this to himself.
All the blame...LeGM was given all the credit when he construct 2 championship team, now take this L....He still a good GM for me...He only thought Russ is the same as Wade who plays hard both ends, Russ don't play defense anymore..
Broussard always capping for LeBron watch the game LeBron be slacking on defense I don't care how many points he score play defense he gets some of the blame to
That's a solid point. I hadn't thought about what Nick said before. Even if you give him the credit it doesn't push him over MJ still at this point BUT. If y'all are gunna poo poo him as LeGM then he does deserve credit when it works as well as LeGM.
Some people never seem to tire of criticizing LeBron James. The level of invective directed against one of the greatest if not the greatest athlete of all time, says much more about the people doing the criticizing than it does about LeBron. It smacks of jealousy, insecurity, and a need to hate people more accomplished than they could ever be.
Lakers could’ve afforded to keep ac if they went with buddy as well though. Ac and bron had the best +/- of any lakers duo in the championship run. His defence is great and he is solid enough on offence.
Blaming a player instead of the actual GM is crazy. Lebron can drop 50 & people still gone hate the man but I feel like you ain’t doing nothing right if you ain’t got no haters.
They need to try LeBron @ Center, AD Pf , Melo Sf, Monk Sg, Bradley pg during stretches, you'll have everything you need out there, Defense interior/perimeter, Shooting, Rebounding, spot up shooting, ball handling, speed & postup ability in the post, & mid range 🤔👀
Pelinka has let Bron and AD construct the team since they were waiting on Kawhi to decide. And, that resulted in a championship. So, regardless of who's fault it is, what they're doing isn't working. The team they constructed hasn't been whole all season. Therefore, they should be agile, constantly alter the formula (coaching), box out on defence and try slowing the pace down since that worked in the past. I'd even try bringing Russ off the bench.
Lebron has nothing to worry about. He should focus on getting to the all-time scoring record, as I believe that would solidify an already GOAT level career. He doesnt need any more titles in my view. As far as I see, he should just keep racking up those longevity stats
They should try to trade AD in a + plus Westbrook deal with Boston for Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart + a role player. Instant defense, better shooting and IQ. Boston needs a big man.
IDK how chris spins its not only lebrons fault for tryin to build a superteam to win another title , its also the GM's fault for listening to him. when are these GM 's going to get it through there heads that a player SHOULDN'T be telling them who to sign period.

Broussard does have a point about Pelinka being the GM and having the final say so, it comes to a point where you have to put your foot down and remind everyone including the star player who you are Pat Riley is a perfect example when LeBron went to him and tried to convince him to get rid of Spoeltra Riley told him no and 10+ years later Eric is still in Miami
Now how about if LA had Derozan instead of Russ, we’d be able to win more of those games.
Good point... How about getting Lonzo back as your point guard? That would have been a lot less expensive than Westbrook and a much better fit. Maybe Ball wouldn't have wanted to come back to the team that gave up on him too soon?
They can’t have gotten Derozan from the Spurs.
@@justanother1797 Demar himself said he thought it was already a done deal
Nick wright talking about burned tapes when he is the main guy burning tapes
Nice try but lebron is most certainly to blame for having Westbrook on the Lakers.
BS. If he gets the praise when they do well, he gets the blame when they don't.
Do you blame Jokic for Denver’s current record?
“Lost Angeles” - that’s brutal, man.
This segment was really pathetic. Chris and Nick teaching LeBron blame deflect 101.
💯
I thought that LeBron has gotten credit for roster construction on his championship teams...
Not once did i ever hear wildes say anything that has contributed to the conversation.
Whoever thinks this season is NOT on Lebron needs to get tested
You need to get tested😂
The goat debate is bias MJ didn't when 6 consecutive he doesn't have the most chips or most points. He played in an 90s era with very few Guards or sf near his level. Kobe and Bron has played against top talent their whole careers. And last I checked MJ. Pippen Rodman Tony kukoc we're all hofers. Hmmm a Big 4
Only watched Broussard's take and I have to say: "Come on Chris! Really?" I think Broussard made a bad take of trading Draymond for Ben; Draymond is the leader, enforcer and glue/backbone of the franchise. As legend as Curry is, he will never confront Ben or any team if needed. And now: sure the GM needs to take some responsibility but LBJ is the leader as well as he and AS both wanted Westbrick over Hield. At least with Hield they can space the floor. Broussard is a great analyst but come on LBJ deserve some blame. He did this to himself.
All the blame...LeGM was given all the credit when he construct 2 championship team, now take this L....He still a good GM for me...He only thought Russ is the same as Wade who plays hard both ends, Russ don't play defense anymore..
Chris is on the money with this take
Everyone loving the Skip "first guess" phrase lately...
LeBroussard a Bronsexual LMAO
he handpicked his Team, Now he's the Victim ? Bronsexual will never NOT find Excuses.
Chris Brousard was really annoyed by Nick at 9 .38 with that reach for goat gm
At least when CB talks he makes sense instead of just talking loud to try to make it sound like he’s right ala Stephen A.
All teams had player’s injury and CoVid health protocol issues. What else is new ?
Agree or disagree,, you gotta love the passion CB brings!
The szn ain’t over with yet💯
Broussard always capping for LeBron watch the game LeBron be slacking on defense I don't care how many points he score play defense he gets some of the blame to
That's a solid point. I hadn't thought about what Nick said before. Even if you give him the credit it doesn't push him over MJ still at this point BUT. If y'all are gunna poo poo him as LeGM then he does deserve credit when it works as well as LeGM.
Good point Nick
it's too early for all this, lets see what happens near All Star break
Bronsexuals never say anything negative about Lebron.
Preach, Chris.
Some people never seem to tire of criticizing LeBron James. The level of invective directed against one of the greatest if not the greatest athlete of all time, says much more about the people doing the criticizing than it does about LeBron. It smacks of jealousy, insecurity, and a need to hate people more accomplished than they could ever be.
Oh please, everyone gets criticized. Especially public figures.
the buddy hield situation was wayyyy less of a fumbled bag than demar
How do we know AD isn’t the one who wanted Russ?
Blame everybody in a Lakers uniform & in the organization.
Wilds is lookin WILD! 😂
Lakers could’ve afforded to keep ac if they went with buddy as well though. Ac and bron had the best +/- of any lakers duo in the championship run. His defence is great and he is solid enough on offence.
It's a full circle find the issue fix it watch it come back picture perfect
...nah, Let's not
blame LeGM. Forcing trades for
The Brow and WestBrick.
But I thought lebron makes everybody better? Russ is suffering from that chris Bosh kevin love effect.
In his 19th season? And what Bosh and Love effect, being a 3rd option instead of a 1st on a sub par team? You weirdos are pathetic
If Lebron had the option to pick his team, he better win! Jordan never got to pick his team. He played with what he was given and won.
Thank you Broussard
Still wouldn’t have took Westbrook over buddy especially because they wanted the same package for buddy
Broussard is 100% right.
Blaming a player instead of the actual GM is crazy. Lebron can drop 50 & people still gone hate the man but I feel like you ain’t doing nothing right if you ain’t got no haters.
AD needs to average shaq numbers to win...28 pt 4 blocks 15 rebound...quit shooting 3 pointers
If they didn't get Brodie, they wouldn't be stuck with these old players.
Plus Rob is the GM? Right, on paper.
They need to try LeBron @ Center, AD Pf , Melo Sf, Monk Sg, Bradley pg during stretches, you'll have everything you need out there, Defense interior/perimeter, Shooting, Rebounding, spot up shooting, ball handling, speed & postup ability in the post, & mid range 🤔👀
They might need to hire you over Frank Vogel
Melo cannot guard any 3s at this stage
Broussard be trying. But he can’t help his Bron bias seeping through for too long.
Pelinka has let Bron and AD construct the team since they were waiting on Kawhi to decide. And, that resulted in a championship. So, regardless of who's fault it is, what they're doing isn't working. The team they constructed hasn't been whole all season. Therefore, they should be agile, constantly alter the formula (coaching), box out on defence and try slowing the pace down since that worked in the past. I'd even try bringing Russ off the bench.
0:30 no you guys didn’t
Lebron has nothing to worry about. He should focus on getting to the all-time scoring record, as I believe that would solidify an already GOAT level career. He doesnt need any more titles in my view. As far as I see, he should just keep racking up those longevity stats
4 championships in 200 years
They should try to trade AD in a + plus Westbrook deal with Boston for Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart + a role player. Instant defense, better shooting and IQ. Boston needs a big man.
Not a fan of the blame game.
Bron is hoopin’. The team just sucks.
year 19 27 6 6 still in his prime
IDK how chris spins its not only lebrons fault for tryin to build a superteam to win another title , its also the GM's fault for listening to him. when are these
GM 's going to get it through there heads that a player SHOULDN'T be telling them who to sign period.
Wiggins wouldn't of done anything in Cleveland
