Tbh. Lebron is not at an age in his life where he is going to want to pack up him and his family and move somewhere. I think LA is his last stop no matter what happens it seems.
Which is why it was a horrible idea to sign him in the first place. Wherever he is last is going to end the worst. It’s been that way for every superstar that has played a long time. Even Kareem didn’t end with championships. It ended with losses. That’s just the reality. The Lakers would have been better getting LeBron after Miami. Perhaps that would have meant a couple chips. We got him too late and now he is old and declining.
Most likely he will end in LA. Leaving to ride another superstar would look really bad at his age. Honestly, I hope next season will be his farewell season.

@@mrc5425yall so dumb with this fake ring shit, Lakers were the number one seed before the pandemic, a lot of the other teams were injured before the pandemic, bubble comes around everyone is healthy and is able to play. It’s no one fault that some players didn’t want to be there, you had rookies already having their jump in getting better hints Tyler herro going off, but yall Lames saying the ring was fake when every NBA player said it was the hardest ring to win. But no let’s listen to casual fans to disrespect these basketball players accomplishments cause they don’t like the player or the team.
Of course, every team wants young athletic 2-way players, guys who can defend, switch and knock down 3's. Nobody is trading those players because every GM knows they are huge assets.
I’m a LeBron fan, but every aging NBA superstar has understood two things: (1) he must adapt his game to the young players, not the other way around; and (2)if he can’t do the former, it’s time to retire.
I have a question for those LBJ haters,who we can bring to LA to replace LBJ who can give us 23,8 and 9 every night with almost 50% from the field ????
Thess basic stats dont mean much in this watered down NBA no defense era.. Lebrons plus/minus is bad..and defense overall is HORRIBLE. dont bring up highlight blocks, thats not real defense we talkin about
You people are just casual fans that don't know a damn thing about Básquetball,nobody is going to give this team 23 with 9 assist (Equal to Minimum 18 more points),If you people or haters don't know ,those are 41 a night,And you people are crying for 5 turnovers ???.You people need to retire and go watch Golf or tennis
I never knew somebody could suck dick with words but you have achieved this quest lol ....he doesn't deserve to be on the Lakers..he isn't a proven winner he has to have a super team to win he's never dug deep with a team and won anything yet he demands everything more money draft his son and personal coach picks and for that we get to watch him stat pad and pretend to me Jordan... he could've took a pay cut to get help but no ..now ppl like you want the team to fine top level guys with $2 left off the salary...I hope we get his bum ass off of our team ..he can go waste some other teams time ..I'm sure he wants to go to a team that doesn't need him so if they win it can be all about him ...take bronny bum ass with him
lebron ain’t going anywhere, he stayin with our lakers, they need to get rid of Gabe hood schofino plus Christie, we just neeed Reaves,Vando, wood and Hayes back, Gabe hasn’t really done anything all season, Jalen hood schofino hasn’t either those 2 neeed to go
U are crazy to think in he not helping the young players . He is still in the top of NBA . He is a legend no one has play this long and this great for 22 years
It's over, i don't think the thing to do is throw away all our future assets (Again) just to have a VERY slim chance to be relevant and appease 40yr old Lebron. We need to just rip the band aid off and start rebuilding for future.
@ericnitzsche9047 Yup if I'm giving away future picks it'll be for him and Juggs. Even tho I don't like this contract I still would like to see a scenario where we call Miami nonstop on Bam
I would definitely go after Jimmy. Screw them picks. If u win a championship now, later won’t matter. Lakers should be tryna tie up and pass the number of banners Boston has..
Lebron wants to stay and finish career with Lakers hes got what ? 1-2 more years this year even could be his last. The lakers aren't gonna trade him they'd also like him to finish career with Lakers. Unless Lebron specifically asks for a trade he will finish career with Lakers.
@@tylerk4641 exactly bro. People that think he wants to leave at the end of his career are just not paying attention. This man set him and his family up to live in LA long term. I do believe the info about him not wanting to leave and not being worried about the money anymore.
James is living in a fantasy land. He could have been a bigger part of helping to fix the problem by taking more than a 5 mil cut. He needs to do him of course but because no team wants to give lakers fair value on any trade. Plus luxury tax issues it would serve all parties for him to go to GS plain and simple. If the lakers get picks and youth that they can turn around and flip while whittling their payroll down it’ll work.
It's funny how some people act like it's just LeBron that not good on Defense. . Dlo always gets cooked on D. Davis hasn't been that good lately either. Reaves and Rui gets cooked on Defense all the time 😂
This is why the NBA has the worst rating in sports, they are having a mid season tournament right now , which they should be promoting. Instead they are over shadowing the tournament with fake trade talk. LeBron will do anything to stay trending, same talk every year, it s getting old.
As a kid I bought my dad Brute aftershave and Bic disposable razors every year. He always just nodded his head and smiled When I got a job at 16 I decided to get him something more expensive.

@@Mar-t6n but he's not even top 20 player. Of course he will score the occasional 40pt game. But in totality for the entire 82 game game season, no way he is even close to top 20. He was paid by Jeanie to bring in revenues, not for wins
@Trivedi_Tuesdays No disrespect but your comment shows your ignorance on how a sports franchise generates revenue. Having the most globally recognized superstar on your roster adds billions to a teams valuation because of ticket sales, broadcasting contracts, merchandise, sponsorships, endorsements, etc. He's actually underpaid.
Id give D'lo, AR, Gabe and more for jimmy in an eye blink. He's great on D and a bucket getter. Always over performes come playoffs. 2 years is exactly the window we have with lebron. I say try to do it at all cost if possible. That, +DFS, maybe Schroder and JV, and we're set! Starting 5: DS JB DFS LBJ AD BENCH: JV, DK, VANDO, WOOD, CAM, OLIVARI Probably we jabe to give dlo, ar15, rui, our 2 first round picks, and possibly more, but whatever. This line up has a chance. These guys can defend and get wins. And a solid enough bench. Can go far. Go all in or rebuild. C'mon! WE ARE THE LAKERS. Lets take that trophy back amd reclaim the empire! LFG!
They definitely not! They can stfu and be honest and stop that because sales and everything will be down and when LeBron is done we all know AD leaving too! AD only came there because of LeBron! They will be A lottery team all over again once LeBron gone
@@anthonyhernandez2111Lakers were worse the last few years of Kobe’s career they wasn’t sniffing the playoffs or the finals Bron/Ad era atleast gives you chance yall be so ungrateful its funny
We traded away everyone young to satisfied LeBron correct me the top 7 players were all traded or not sign back cause of him so when he leaves we have nothing to lean on no one in front office knows what going on so us Lakers fans is doomed unless a new owner takes over
@ Umm it wasn’t because of him! Go watch the interviews Dwight and McGee did! It was Rob and Jeanie not wanting to pay people dumb ass! They the same people who did Ty Lue dirty and even said no to Kyrie when he tried to come! Getting Russ was the only option we had and they only got Russ be the was from LA when everyone knew he did not fit with LeBron and AD so stfu
Y’all need to trade Lebron NOW! He’s a -91 when ON THE COURT for the lakers and plays no defense. Don’t let him do you what he did to Cleveland and Miami.
Darned fools if you want to trade Lebron. Butler would be a good fit with AD and Lebron, he's motivated to win now and is a great defender and solid scorer, especially a second or third option, he prefers that.
Reaves is overrated there is literally no reason why he should be untouchable... there is nothing special about his game he’s a 6th man & wouldn’t be starting on any contender
@ no, he’s not, unless the team is getting blown up. If you’re looking to simply upgrade, you’re not gonna find another guard who will contribute 16.7/3.5/4.8 for 13 million. Period. End. Full stop. Out of all shooting guards he ranks 14th/31st/10th. So no, AR, in most trade scenarios, is not on the table.
The Lakers trading either LeBron or AD instead of making moves for some real pieces is exactly why this organization will never win until ownership changes
That 50 million salary is killing the team. From on court impact he’s not even playing close to it. Lakers could get a bunch of youth and athleticism with another fringe all-star caliber talent that runs in transition, boxes out and plays defense all game. There’s no winning moves to be made if he doesn’t live up to his salary.
Lebron cannot allow this team or organization to do him like they did Kobe and just let the team be garbage and waste his time! Rob and Jeanie need to do their damn jobs and make this roster better, they said they would upgrade and use those picks and did nothing, let’s not forget not letting LeBron get Kyrie or Ty Lue! So either do their jobs and get this roster together or gone head and send LeBron and AD to Golden state because clearly Rob and Jeanie was satisfied with just 1 championship! This why I wish magic johnson stayed
Lakers need to sit down with LeBron and AD...ask AD if LeBron gets traded, will he ask for a trade as well. If BOTH are willing to stay then the next topic would be restructuring of contracts to allow the team to make moves in the trade market...if not, then one or both could be traded...
Everyone else has to play defense and give effort except Lebron? And not only that but we're supposed to give up more unnecessary resources to try a help Lebron? What an absolute joke this channel isn't a Lakers channel it's an Lebron apologist channel
Only way we trade Lebron is if he asks for a trade and that wouldn’t be wise in my opinion. Dude clearly wants to help bring another Ring to LA but Rob Pelinka ain’t doing sh*t to help with that. I’ve been saying for over a year to go get Kyrie before he signed with Dallas and people were acting like that was a horrible idea 🤦🏻
Lakers are from Minnesota (lakes) Clippers are from San Diego (marina ships) Dodgers are from Brooklyn (trolly) Chargers are from San Diego (r/s) Rams came back, Raiders left LeBum is from Ohio
People need to accept LBJ is no longer a max player. Prime LBJ demolishes Jokic and Denver, nobody on that team would be able to guard him competively. Ever since after the lockdown the Lakers normally start well and fall off in the 2nd half. I've never mentioned anybody mention the reason. 1. Nuggets train and play their home games at a high altitude. 2. LBJ is a damn near 40 year old athlete with 22 NBA seasons and is incapable of playing 40 minutes of high intensity, high level basketball on both ends anymore. You cannot build this team around old LBJ, the Spurs never did that with Duncan and they won a chip.
LeBron could have Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, Scottie Pippen, and Gary Payton playing with him and we'd still struggle defensively because you know who is still loafing around on defense. Tired of the LeGaslighting.
Id be cool with it if Lebron finished his career in LA but if there is a team that wants to trade for a 40 year old Lebron and give the Lakers good value in return, Id be for it. I was a Lakers fan before Lebron. Ill still be a Lakers fan after he leaves no matter how he does it.
@@MaxAndersonn that’s fine if you believe that. He’s not as good as he was prior. He turns the ball over at the highest rate…Dubs don’t need that. Dubs are eyeing Jimmy and Giannis. No need to waste space on lebron
Would be shocked if LeBron asks to be traded. He’s always finished out his contracts. Opting out of contract next year (player option) way more realistic possibility (especially to go to Cavs when they almost certainly don’t win the title) and even that’s not likely though def more possible. The reason he would though is bc Pelinka & Jeanie Buss since summer of 2021 have been one of the worst GM/ownership combos in the history of SPORTS over a 3-4 year span! That doesn’t even include the fact before that they gave away Zubac in 2018-19, lowballed Ty Lue summer of 2019 (or before that Magic gave away Brooke Lopez & passed on Brown Tatum in b2b drafts at #2 pick only for them to go to #3 to Celtics to create a top1-5 duo in the NBA). Outside of good 19-20/20-21 rosters (b2b🏆if Bron AD both healthy vs incredibly injured) OBJECTIVELY since Mount Rushmore owner in sports Dr Buss passed in early 2013, Lakers have been one of the worst run franchises in SPORTS!
LeBron to the Cavs is what I'm calling, especially if the Lakers have no chance in the play-offs, LeBron will orchestrate something to go to the Cavs. He wants to ride the bus with them and win another title.
Lebron had a hiatus period in his second stint in cleveland. He came back and his team went on a roll...yes trades happened as well and Bron was still in prime... lets just hope that if he does still want to be a Laker, this time-off can start something great for the team.
I don’t see the lakers being able to solve the problems you mentioned! No team want to help the Lakers, the Lakers have to start thinking more of the future than the present. could be wrong
LeBron needs to OWN his decisions, stay in LA (and lose with the team he built) and while he will continue to bring down the team, it will only end once LeBron retires.
AR and Knecht should be off limits in any trade talks. Have we not learnt anything from post Kobe era? Good assets are hard to come by especially on friendly financial deals. You also need depth and thats you build it by preserving good value contracts. The idea we'd ship AR as part of pkg to bring a presumably a third star to LA is laughable.

you are correct and would be value for any team
Trade AD new upcoming ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lakers fan base: 1/3 Bron fans, 1/3 hate LeBron more than they love the Lakers, 1/3 real fans.
I hate Lebrons minions and baggage*..everything is always someone elses is fault..lebron is HORRIBLE on defense and his plus/minus is bad also. 1/2 the reason lakers aint winning is Lebron. PPG, RPG and assists aint equating to team wins
@anthonyhernandez2111 Always pouncing on LeBron the moment he's doing bad but not recognizing you wouldn't have been anything in the first place without him. You'll get your wish soon enough when he leaves or retires and see if everyone jumps to go to the Lakers and the front office makes great decisions. My bet is you don't mind Lakers sucking so long as there is no LeBron.
They suck WITH LeBron what are u even talking about? Yea this is like a bad dream LeBron sucks Diddy Dk@@JustADudeGamer
I been a Laker since 1985 I will never switch up win lose or draw my Lakers for life I don't care who plays for us
@@godsson2259 I refuse to watch them with LeBron. Now especially knowing he talked highly of Diddy and Diddy is a child raper
Lebron retires in 2026 and so does Bronny
Yet, your hate will live on
Damn we have 2 more years of this crap?? George Zimmerman help us out…you know where to find LeBron
@Michael-mt6yb, was this attempt to be edgy, or so you just have a dumb sense of humor?
Lebron can play until 2046 at this level 🐐
Xavier…no humor. I’m being foreal. George would be honored
I argued with people saying LeBron isn't going anywhere, but now I hear bronny will go with LeBron. Now LeBron is away from the team for personal reasons 🤔
Duh! Just wait for the breaking news. 😂
LeBron has no inside source to LeBron to know what LeBron is thinking 🤔🙄
I meant Stephen A Brian Windhorst Shams none of them media analyst has no inside source of anything LeBron is thinking 💭
1 ring in 7 years, with a 2-3 year rebuild after........was not worth it ! Let the GOAT of coach-killers go.
😂 yea you slow, lakers are banking and there are still teams that haven't won a championship
A "fake" ring doesn't count. It's more like 0 rings in 7 years.
@@mrc5425yall so dumb with this fake ring shit, Lakers were the number one seed before the pandemic, a lot of the other teams were injured before the pandemic, bubble comes around everyone is healthy and is able to play. It’s no one fault that some players didn’t want to be there, you had rookies already having their jump in getting better hints Tyler herro going off, but yall Lames saying the ring was fake when every NBA player said it was the hardest ring to win. But no let’s listen to casual fans to disrespect these basketball players accomplishments cause they don’t like the player or the team.
Ungrateful piece of crap
We should’ve blown it up back in the Westbrook era
Of course, every team wants young athletic 2-way players, guys who can defend, switch and knock down 3's. Nobody is trading those players because every GM knows they are huge assets.
yeah and we had like 4 of those players in KCP, Caruso, Kuzma, and Danny Green
We just need to hope there are other Rob Pelinka's out there who don't know that.
1:16 Leave it to Windy to use delicious in that context😂😂
I’m a LeBron fan, but every aging NBA superstar has understood two things: (1) he must adapt his game to the young players, not the other way around; and (2)if he can’t do the former, it’s time to retire.
He’s already done that, the problem is there’s no team. Hasn’t been one since 2020, front office continues to drop the ball every season

I have a question for those LBJ haters,who we can bring to LA to replace LBJ who can give us 23,8 and 9 every night with almost 50% from the field ????
If he doesn't play defense and turns the ball over 5 times a game we don't need him! Oh that's LeBron! We don't need him! Poison in the locker room!
Thess basic stats dont mean much in this watered down NBA no defense era..
Lebrons plus/minus is bad..and defense overall is HORRIBLE. dont bring up highlight blocks, thats not real defense we talkin about
You people are just casual fans that don't know a damn thing about Básquetball,nobody is going to give this team 23 with 9 assist (Equal to Minimum 18 more points),If you people or haters don't know ,those are 41 a night,And you people are crying for 5 turnovers ???.You people need to retire and go watch Golf or tennis
We will never know if anyone on our current team can do this because he demands the ball so much.
Facts 💯💯💯💯💯@chegui2520 i hope bron really leaves that trashed lakers fan based is trashed FO is trashed 😂😂😂
He should go to a better team this franchise doesn’t deserve him
Cavs
Agreed
This is a Lakers Nation, not LeBron Nation so I suggest that you just GTFOH
I never knew somebody could suck dick with words but you have achieved this quest lol ....he doesn't deserve to be on the Lakers..he isn't a proven winner he has to have a super team to win he's never dug deep with a team and won anything yet he demands everything more money draft his son and personal coach picks and for that we get to watch him stat pad and pretend to me Jordan... he could've took a pay cut to get help but no ..now ppl like you want the team to fine top level guys with $2 left off the salary...I hope we get his bum ass off of our team ..he can go waste some other teams time ..I'm sure he wants to go to a team that doesn't need him so if they win it can be all about him ...take bronny bum ass with him
This joke take is everywhere lmao.
Fire Pelinka Fire Pelinka Fire Pelinka Fire Pelinka Fire Pelinka Fire Pelinka Fire Pelinka Fire Pelinka Fire Pelinka Fire Pelinka please it's simple
They cant bec his kobe agent and vanessa lover😂😂😂😂
lebron ain’t going anywhere, he stayin with our lakers, they need to get rid of Gabe hood schofino plus Christie, we just neeed Reaves,Vando, wood and Hayes back, Gabe hasn’t really done anything all season, Jalen hood schofino hasn’t either those 2 neeed to go
PLEASE TRADE LEBRON he KILLS LAKERS culture. Let our young players shine like THE WHOLE LEAGUE YOUNG PLAYERS shine.
U are crazy to think in he not helping the young players . He is still in the top of NBA . He is a legend no one has play this long and this great for 22 years
Pelinka is the real problem. Even if LeBron is traded or retires, Pelinka still needs to prove that he can build a complete team.
Bron on the Warriors sheshhhh bro would average 10+ assists per game lol
💪🏾🙌🏽
It's over, i don't think the thing to do is throw away all our future assets (Again) just to have a VERY slim chance to be relevant and appease 40yr old Lebron. We need to just rip the band aid off and start rebuilding for future.
My wish would be to have a Jalen Suggs, Herb Jones, Dyson Daniels type of line up
lol they ain't trading those guys
I really like Dyson Daniels! He is a defensive beast!
@ericnitzsche9047 Yup if I'm giving away future picks it'll be for him and Juggs. Even tho I don't like this contract I still would like to see a scenario where we call Miami nonstop on Bam
Rob Polinker isn’t a great thinker
@@Logic-cg7qy a real gm could convince
You can't blame Westbrook 2yrs ago, you can't blame Darvin Ham last year, so who do you blame period?😩😡😭😂
I would definitely go after Jimmy. Screw them picks. If u win a championship now, later won’t matter. Lakers should be tryna tie up and pass the number of banners Boston has..
No, on Jimmy Butler. Gives me Karl Malone vibes when we paired him with Kobe.
Lebron wants to stay and finish career with Lakers hes got what ? 1-2 more years this year even could be his last. The lakers aren't gonna trade him they'd also like him to finish career with Lakers. Unless Lebron specifically asks for a trade he will finish career with Lakers.
@@tylerk4641 exactly bro. People that think he wants to leave at the end of his career are just not paying attention. This man set him and his family up to live in LA long term. I do believe the info about him not wanting to leave and not being worried about the money anymore.
James is living in a fantasy land. He could have been a bigger part of helping to fix the problem by taking more than a 5 mil cut. He needs to do him of course but because no team wants to give lakers fair value on any trade. Plus luxury tax issues it would serve all parties for him to go to GS plain and simple. If the lakers get picks and youth that they can turn around and flip while whittling their payroll down it’ll work.
It's funny how some people act like it's just LeBron that not good on Defense. . Dlo always gets cooked on D. Davis hasn't been that good lately either. Reaves and Rui gets cooked on Defense all the time 😂
This is what I’ve been saying for a long time!
Trade Max, Rui, Gabe, Vando, Wood, and Hayes.
Acquire Butler, Jonas Val, Dwight Howard, and Kuzma
No to older players except if it's D. Howard, aside from LBJ
This is why the NBA has the worst rating in sports, they are having a mid season tournament right now , which they should be promoting. Instead they are over shadowing the tournament with fake trade talk. LeBron will do anything to stay trending, same talk every year, it s getting old.
I give you Pelinka in exchange for a banana, [not taped to a wall].
Don't let the door hit you on the way out! Please take Jeannie Buss with you.
As a kid I bought my dad Brute aftershave and Bic disposable razors every year.
He always just nodded his head and smiled
When I got a job at 16 I decided to get him something more expensive. I don't even remember what it was. But I do remember him asking me
"Where is my Brut and razors
That is what I went back to for the next 31 years of his life
Then last Christmas I got him his first flatscreen TV ever just so he Chiefs (yuck) eventually win the SB
I lost him in April of this year
I miss you dad
Peace! Really sorry for your loss sir…May Almighty God make it easier for you and your entire family…Old school is what my Pops..used Green jar 🫙…

he said "the Lakers" and the cat ran away 😭
That Studio Stu. He used to be a Lakers fan, but, nowadays, he rocks with the Clippers, like his brother.
We paying bron like he a top5 player. Time to move on 😅
Actually he’s being paid like a top 15 player which he is. Y’all are so ready to go back to the lottery.
@@Mar-t6n but he's not even top 20 player. Of course he will score the occasional 40pt game. But in totality for the entire 82 game game season, no way he is even close to top 20. He was paid by Jeanie to bring in revenues, not for wins
AD is what is keeping them from the lottery not lebron.@@Mar-t6n
@Trivedi_Tuesdays No disrespect but your comment shows your ignorance on how a sports franchise generates revenue. Having the most globally recognized superstar on your roster adds billions to a teams valuation because of ticket sales, broadcasting contracts, merchandise, sponsorships, endorsements, etc. He's actually underpaid.
@@donaldlouwe3939globally recognized 😹 nobody would recognize him outside the US 💀
The Lakers front office hasn’t been worfadamn every since Dr. Busses passing R.I.P
probably facts cause the only championship they won without him was 2020
Stop it he’s not going anywhere trade Rob Polinka there.
Id give D'lo, AR, Gabe and more for jimmy in an eye blink. He's great on D and a bucket getter. Always over performes come playoffs. 2 years is exactly the window we have with lebron. I say try to do it at all cost if possible. That, +DFS, maybe Schroder and JV, and we're set!
Starting 5:
DS
JB
DFS
LBJ
AD
BENCH: JV, DK, VANDO, WOOD, CAM, OLIVARI
Probably we jabe to give dlo, ar15, rui, our 2 first round picks, and possibly more, but whatever. This line up has a chance. These guys can defend and get wins. And a solid enough bench. Can go far.
Go all in or rebuild.
C'mon! WE ARE THE LAKERS. Lets take that trophy back amd reclaim the empire!
LFG!
We're talking top 5-10 defense here
y’all ain’t ready for a post lebron era 🤦🏾♂️
Yes we are..we meaning true Laker fans. cant wait for the Lebron circus to leave town
They definitely not! They can stfu and be honest and stop that because sales and everything will be down and when LeBron is done we all know AD leaving too! AD only came there because of LeBron! They will be A lottery team all over again once LeBron gone
@@anthonyhernandez2111Lakers were worse the last few years of Kobe’s career they wasn’t sniffing the playoffs or the finals Bron/Ad era atleast gives you chance yall be so ungrateful its funny
We traded away everyone young to satisfied LeBron correct me the top 7 players were all traded or not sign back cause of him so when he leaves we have nothing to lean on no one in front office knows what going on so us Lakers fans is doomed unless a new owner takes over
@ Umm it wasn’t because of him! Go watch the interviews Dwight and McGee did! It was Rob and Jeanie not wanting to pay people dumb ass! They the same people who did Ty Lue dirty and even said no to Kyrie when he tried to come! Getting Russ was the only option we had and they only got Russ be the was from LA when everyone knew he did not fit with LeBron and AD so stfu
Jimmy Butler for 4 second round picks and players to match salary
Y’all need to trade Lebron NOW! He’s a -91 when ON THE COURT for the lakers and plays no defense. Don’t let him do you what he did to Cleveland and Miami.
He already did
@@johnnynevermind8595😂😂
Darned fools if you want to trade Lebron. Butler would be a good fit with AD and Lebron, he's motivated to win now and is a great defender and solid scorer, especially a second or third option, he prefers that.
Lakers fans who want AR traded are brain dead casuals, change my mind.
Ar is very inconsistent at times. If it’s for the right player like Zach lavine we should 100% pull the trigger
Why? He’s really the only trade piece they have….no buddy everyone is on the table including AR!
Reaves is overrated there is literally no reason why he should be untouchable... there is nothing special about his game he’s a 6th man & wouldn’t be starting on any contender
1 way player who is average from 3 and doesn’t help athletically
@ no, he’s not, unless the team is getting blown up. If you’re looking to simply upgrade, you’re not gonna find another guard who will contribute 16.7/3.5/4.8 for 13 million. Period. End. Full stop. Out of all shooting guards he ranks 14th/31st/10th. So no, AR, in most trade scenarios, is not on the table.
The Lakers trading either LeBron or AD instead of making moves for some real pieces is exactly why this organization will never win until ownership changes
That 50 million salary is killing the team. From on court impact he’s not even playing close to it. Lakers could get a bunch of youth and athleticism with another fringe all-star caliber talent that runs in transition, boxes out and plays defense all game. There’s no winning moves to be made if he doesn’t live up to his salary.
He offered a pay cut front office sucks
he was willing to take a paycut in the off season, only if rob made a move but he didn’t so he took more money instead…
He was only willing to take a pay cut for certain players not just any players
@@giqnsales 2M was not a paycut, that salary went towards signing Bronne
@@weho_brian2 m pay cut are you slow?
Lebron cannot allow this team or organization to do him like they did Kobe and just let the team be garbage and waste his time! Rob and Jeanie need to do their damn jobs and make this roster better, they said they would upgrade and use those picks and did nothing, let’s not forget not letting LeBron get Kyrie or Ty Lue! So either do their jobs and get this roster together or gone head and send LeBron and AD to Golden state because clearly Rob and Jeanie was satisfied with just 1 championship! This why I wish magic johnson stayed
Id love to see LeBron play with Curry. That'd be awesome
#1 Fire Pelinka.
#2 Trade LBJ
#3 Trade AD
#4 Get them picks and start over
lebron should make another “THE DECISION” so he could take his talents back to the CAVS which has a better chance of winning a championship.
Current Cavs roster do not need him. He will only mess their momentum and chemistry.
Lakers need to sit down with LeBron and AD...ask AD if LeBron gets traded, will he ask for a trade as well. If BOTH are willing to stay then the next topic would be restructuring of contracts to allow the team to make moves in the trade market...if not, then one or both could be traded...
Lebron aint going nowhere, ESPN just talking because the money is low. When Lebron retires half of ESPN gets fired 😂
They think the ratings low now lmao
Everyone else has to play defense and give effort except Lebron? And not only that but we're supposed to give up more unnecessary resources to try a help Lebron? What an absolute joke this channel isn't a Lakers channel it's an Lebron apologist channel
Only way we trade Lebron is if he asks for a trade and that wouldn’t be wise in my opinion. Dude clearly wants to help bring another Ring to LA but Rob Pelinka ain’t doing sh*t to help with that. I’ve been saying for over a year to go get Kyrie before he signed with Dallas and people were acting like that was a horrible idea 🤦🏻
Lakers are from Minnesota (lakes)
Clippers are from San Diego (marina ships)
Dodgers are from Brooklyn (trolly)
Chargers are from San Diego (r/s)
Rams came back, Raiders left
LeBum is from Ohio
People need to accept LBJ is no longer a max player. Prime LBJ demolishes Jokic and Denver, nobody on that team would be able to guard him competively. Ever since after the lockdown the Lakers normally start well and fall off in the 2nd half. I've never mentioned anybody mention the reason. 1. Nuggets train and play their home games at a high altitude. 2. LBJ is a damn near 40 year old athlete with 22 NBA seasons and is incapable of playing 40 minutes of high intensity, high level basketball on both ends anymore. You cannot build this team around old LBJ, the Spurs never did that with Duncan and they won a chip.
LeBron could have Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, Scottie Pippen, and Gary Payton playing with him and we'd still struggle defensively because you know who is still loafing around on defense. Tired of the LeGaslighting.
Lebron loves Diddy parties, Lakers need to get rid of him ASAP.
Lebron is a Laker for life ! nothing but love for him !
Id be cool with it if Lebron finished his career in LA but if there is a team that wants to trade for a 40 year old Lebron and give the Lakers good value in return, Id be for it.
I was a Lakers fan before Lebron.
Ill still be a Lakers fan after he leaves no matter how he does it.
Yeah go back to winning 21 and 17 games

Trade ain’t happening. Warriors def not doing it.
@@Michael-mt6yb they tried to already what you mean
@@MaxAndersonn that’s fine if you believe that. He’s not as good as he was prior. He turns the ball over at the highest rate…Dubs don’t need that. Dubs are eyeing Jimmy and Giannis. No need to waste space on lebron
Would be shocked if LeBron asks to be traded. He’s always finished out his contracts. Opting out of contract next year (player option) way more realistic possibility (especially to go to Cavs when they almost certainly don’t win the title) and even that’s not likely though def more possible.
The reason he would though is bc Pelinka & Jeanie Buss since summer of 2021 have been one of the worst GM/ownership combos in the history of SPORTS over a 3-4 year span! That doesn’t even include the fact before that they gave away Zubac in 2018-19, lowballed Ty Lue summer of 2019 (or before that Magic gave away Brooke Lopez & passed on Brown Tatum in b2b drafts at #2 pick only for them to go to #3 to Celtics to create a top1-5 duo in the NBA).
Outside of good 19-20/20-21 rosters (b2b🏆if Bron AD both healthy vs incredibly injured) OBJECTIVELY since Mount Rushmore owner in sports Dr Buss passed in early 2013, Lakers have been one of the worst run franchises in SPORTS!
LeBron to the Cavs is what I'm calling, especially if the Lakers have no chance in the play-offs, LeBron will orchestrate something to go to the Cavs. He wants to ride the bus with them and win another title.
Another franchise he destroyed and leaves it in ruins... it never fails CLE MIA LAK who next to be destroyed😂😅
You're delusional 😂
Yes!!! Outta here!!!!
The Warriors rely on ball and player movement, how the he🏒🏒 does LeBron help the Warriors. Zero defense, zero off ball movement, yeah sounds great
Lebron had a hiatus period in his second stint in cleveland. He came back and his team went on a roll...yes trades happened as well and Bron was still in prime... lets just hope that if he does still want to be a Laker, this time-off can start something great for the team.
I called it a few weeks ago, but LeBron desperately wants a trade to the Cavaliers (or the Heat). They are 21-4
I don’t see the lakers being able to solve the problems you mentioned! No team want to help the Lakers, the Lakers have to start thinking more of the future than the present. could be wrong
Please go away LeBron. Please? Let some one else carry the torch. Please go away Lebron. Let us play consistent team basketball again. Please? Please?
Trade lebron asap
Trading bron and keeping bronny hostage would be diabolical.
Trade him and his scrub son to the Wizards for Kuzma.
LeBron needs to OWN his decisions, stay in LA (and lose with the team he built) and while he will continue to bring down the team, it will only end once LeBron retires.
i know this is off topic but your cat is so adorable , mine looks very similar!
That will be the oldest lineup I’ve ever seen
How can you be okay on defense last year but terrible this year w/ the same roster ? Sounds like a coaching issue 🤔
AR and Knecht should be off limits in any trade talks. Have we not learnt anything from post Kobe era? Good assets are hard to come by especially on friendly financial deals. You also need depth and thats you build it by preserving good value contracts. The idea we'd ship AR as part of pkg to bring a presumably a third star to LA is laughable.
Last year it was said this roster was going to win it all....just like the roster in 21 and the roster in 22
