Lebron ruined our future… I seen it back then in 2017/2018. Fast forward EVERY PLAYER we drafted/ traded is thriving right now or has thrived after leaving except Lonzo, and that’s only due to injuries. Julius Randle, Ingram, Josh Hart, Jordan Clarkson, Zubac, and Kyle Kuzma could still be on the Lakers right now
Randle signed w the Pelicans in free agency and Clarkson got traded before LeBron even landed in LA. Zubac also got traded mid-season for Mike Muscala. I don't think LeBron had much decision over that trade lol
With a string of final shot game chokes, how on Earth can anyone actually compare LeChoke to the great Jordan. I mean seriously how can someone who did a better job with his steroids regimen be compared to Jordan? And yean I am sure they all used steroids but let's be real we know who is the Goat when it comes to steroid management. His longevity is a testament to that.
Since Dr buss died Jeannie has done a horrible job but being a woman the media gives her a pass from drafting Lonzo ball over Jayson Tatum to allowing Rob palinka to back stab magic until he quit then gave him the job to not hiring tylue and not getting kyrie this front office is a joke while Lebron gets all of the blame but he is a fool for staying there 😎💯🤬
Say the truth. AD fired his agent then signed with Klutch Sports. After signing with Klutch he requested a trade from the Pelicans. Rich Paul and Lebron were behind that trade request. It had nothing to do with Cousins leaving New Orleans or the NO front office. If you're a NBA fan you saw all this go down, it was reported everywhere, and when AD demanded a trade he said he wanted to go only to the Lakers.
@@jaycob1830 Lakers targeted Davis for a while, Klutch Mafia was putting pressure on all possible fields right before he was entering last couple of years in his contract, Lakers franchise and Magic ended punished for tampering...then, what happened in few months? Both Lakers and Pelicans changed GMs and the Anthony Davis trade happened...
Thinking a midseason trophy and a bubble ring in an empty building is "good enough" shows a profound lack of ambition and the kindof commitment to excellence that the Lakers enjoyed under Dr Buss and Jerry West and KB24 set the tone on the court. Lebron will never be an all time great Laker he only cares about what the organisation can do for his legacy in the final years of his career smfh SAD, thats not the mamba mentality Lakers I remember!
Lakers would’ve went back to back if not due to injuries and not let Dwight go and Bradley. And trade Javale. We needed those bigs to slow the nuggets down. Mainly Dwight played a big role that series. So he was expected a bigger role and to be compensated. Rondo played a huge role he deserved some love too. So you let both your centers go you let Rondo the master mind go which were all RETARDED moves that management had made not LeBron. Management is responsible. They are also responsible for signing Westbrook after you figured him out in the bubble and let him shoot 3s instead of get to the rim. Then you add that on your TEAM that was a bad decision! Even if LeBron endorsed him they have the final say it’s their job to tell him no and here’s the reason why. Then most recently they couldn’t convince Thomas Bryant to stay with them because he wanted more minutes after AD came back and that was justified. In my opinion the league would’ve been in trouble. But…they traded him. He was giving us big games when AD was out. Had they kept him we might’ve been holding up another banner. He would have played an important role for us vs Denver. Then we would have crushed Miami Heat again. You don’t have to like LeBron but he brought yall a championship and potentially could’ve brought more. If you a real Lakers fan you would love that Kobe out his own mouth said he would’ve loved to have teamed up with him. And Kobe knows basketball 😢 RIP BEAN. Lastly If the media and fans were less critical maybe more big free agents would’ve came here these past years. Y’all are too old to be whining about another man for 20 years. If he switched positions with any of you haters your success rate would be 0% of winning 😂. So I’ll take 4-6 any day which if he had any luck could’ve easily been 8-2 if KD had minded his business the reasons I mentioned earlier. Only still losing to Spurs twice which were a well coached and constructed Dynasty team.
Most of this wouldn't have happened if the front office didn’t let go of some of the key players that helped win the 2020 championship. That squad had lots of potential to win more than one chip, but they squandered it.
@@4ktkaram395 Rebuilds take time. As you see now that team had two future All Stars, a 20ppg scorer, and some really good role players. A lot of Lakers fans wanted to see the team develop together. Some are fine with the Ring Lebron brought. Some think this era is overrated.
@@4ktkaram395 I didn’t say that would be the case. I just said people wanted to see them develop into something. Who knows what moves could be made within that time. I’m just speaking within the context of hindsight.
Stop glorifying losing as greatness! ONE can’t be the GREATEST OF ALL TIME when they have lost 60% of their championship appearances. The fact that there’s some people trying to convince sane people that losing is greater than winning is absolutely outrageous! I have never seen so much effort put into propagating losing as something great. We need to start making winners great again! This nonsense that a loser is somehow supposed to be the GREATEST of all time is blasphemy!

You guys were awful literally since the injuries piled up with Kobe and for years after he retired and based on who you drafted that wasn't going to end any time soon. You then got one of the best players ever to come to your awful team and he won a championship for you guys which so many franchises don't even have one....and you guys can't stop complaining and whining online.

Perspective is everything. A lot of Lakers fans wanted to see those young guys grow, especially when you see where some of those guys are in their careers and how effective they are in their roles. Potential was there, but the Lakers went all in on Lebron. But atleast they can say they own a championship out of it.
As a Kings fan who hates the Lakers, I feel really bad for real Lakers fans. Hell my dad stop supporting the Lakers when LeBron came in 2018 and some of my friends are now stop supporting the Lakers, hell my girlfriend's parents even stop supporting the Lakers. This is not the same Lakers franchise that I know. When we say Los Angeles Lakers, you're talking about excellence, you're talking about championships, you're talking about all of the great players that has come played for the Lakers and has put their heart and soul to this franchise and stay devoted to the Lakers. Now the Lakers is just a clown show. Even a Kings fan myself has to feel bad. This is embarrassing. And LeBron fanboys has to stop making excuses. They always say he never played for a great coach. Well damn it, he doesn't like to be coached, he always wanna do things his way. And he has been with good coaches in his career. Ty Lue is one of the best head coaches in the NBA and helped Cleveland win the 2016 NBA Finals, Mike Brown is another good head coach. Not only Mike Brown has been a big part of turning my Sacramento Kings around but he won coach of the year last year and coach of the year when he was with Cleveland when LeBron was still on Cleveland and led them to the 2007 NBA Finals, and then Erik Splostera. Erik Splostera will go down as one of the greatest head coaches in NBA history and what did LeBron try to do. He tried to get the dude fired the minute he went to Miami. Now the fanboys say, he never had a great coach, damn it he had Erik Splostera. He choose to leave Miami. He choose to leave because Erik Splostera and Pat Riley wouldn't let him do it the LeBron James way. That's LeBron choose to leave, not theirs. So yeah LeBron is a coach killer and he had brought this once great Lakers franchise down to the bottom of the food chain and it's nothing but a clown show now
yea LeBron & LeEgo have hampered the lakers, but please this falls entirely on the buss family being an ouright joke once jerry buss passed. until somebody who knows what they are doing takes control at the top levels they are going to stay at this middling land of futility
You sound uneducated . If they gave Bron everything he wanted we wouldn’t be here. He wanted Tye Lue but didn’t happen and wanted Kyrie but business couldn’t be worked out. Lebron is the only thing keeping them relevant. Without bron there is no AD
Bro if Lebron wasn’t on the Lakers nobody would talk about or care about the Lakers, Lebron has helped the Lakers stay relevant, or do you forget the 6 straight years they didn’t make the playoffs? Lebron could go to the hornets and they will be the most talked about team lol.
It’s close but personally I got Patrick over embiid. Not only does Pat have that dog in him.. he would delight in hitting embiid with a wide array of moves that embiid typically only sees a few times a year from certain big men
Say what you want about the Lebron era in LA and as nasty as it has been they did win a championship regardless of the circumstance. I’d ask Lakers fans would you rather have the ring or see what the young core of Zo, Ingram, Kuzma and others along with Bron and see how that goes. Unless you think that core develops into a championship level team I think reasonably you take the ring with the AD trade
I feel like the only reason this isnt a "succes" is because of lebrons expectations + lakers expectations Any other superstar winning a ring and making a cf is a success
And when Bronny wins rookie of the year and the Lakers are in the finals all the haters will be quiet as hell. People are sleeping on how good Bronny and the Lakers will be this year
Lebron has declined yall just refuse to see it lol he’s just stat padding so many breakaway layups holds on to the ball for many possessions no ball movement no team play just Lebron doin LeBron
@@JawaPenguin16or he could just play the game the right way and not stat pad by never getting back on defense and getting his stats over helping team win
@@Romanus- there is no right way for him to play the game in your mind. Thats the point. Anthony Edwards couldn’t even balance defense and offense without sacrificing on one end.

Randle signed w the Pelicans in free agency and Clarkson got traded before LeBron even landed in LA. Zubac also got traded mid-season for Mike Muscala. I don't think LeBron had much decision over that trade lol

Since Dr buss died Jeannie has done a horrible job but being a woman the media gives her a pass from drafting Lonzo ball over Jayson Tatum to allowing Rob palinka to back stab magic until he quit then gave him the job to not hiring tylue and not getting kyrie this front office is a joke while Lebron gets all of the blame but he is a fool for staying there 😎💯🤬
Say the truth. AD fired his agent then signed with Klutch Sports. After signing with Klutch he requested a trade from the Pelicans. Rich Paul and Lebron were behind that trade request. It had nothing to do with Cousins leaving New Orleans or the NO front office. If you're a NBA fan you saw all this go down, it was reported everywhere, and when AD demanded a trade he said he wanted to go only to the Lakers.
The fact that LA had 3 consecutive second overall picks, and all of them were gone by 2019 has always made me cringe
Cleveland had three first overall picks in the four years Lebron was in Miami and two consecutive right before his return...

Thinking a midseason trophy and a bubble ring in an empty building is "good enough" shows a profound lack of ambition and the kindof commitment to excellence that the Lakers enjoyed under Dr Buss and Jerry West and KB24 set the tone on the court. Lebron will never be an all time great Laker he only cares about what the organisation can do for his legacy in the final years of his career smfh SAD, thats not the mamba mentality Lakers I remember!
Lakers would’ve went back to back if not due to injuries and not let Dwight go and Bradley. And trade Javale. We needed those bigs to slow the nuggets down. Mainly Dwight played a big role that series. So he was expected a bigger role and to be compensated. Rondo played a huge role he deserved some love too. So you let both your centers go you let Rondo the master mind go which were all RETARDED moves that management had made not LeBron. Management is responsible. They are also responsible for signing Westbrook after you figured him out in the bubble and let him shoot 3s instead of get to the rim. Then you add that on your TEAM that was a bad decision! Even if LeBron endorsed him they have the final say it’s their job to tell him no and here’s the reason why. Then most recently they couldn’t convince Thomas Bryant to stay with them because he wanted more minutes after AD came back and that was justified. In my opinion the league would’ve been in trouble. But…they traded him. He was giving us big games when AD was out. Had they kept him we might’ve been holding up another banner. He would have played an important role for us vs Denver. Then we would have crushed Miami Heat again. You don’t have to like LeBron but he brought yall a championship and potentially could’ve brought more. If you a real Lakers fan you would love that Kobe out his own mouth said he would’ve loved to have teamed up with him. And Kobe knows basketball 😢 RIP BEAN. Lastly If the media and fans were less critical maybe more big free agents would’ve came here these past years. Y’all are too old to be whining about another man for 20 years. If he switched positions with any of you haters your success rate would be 0% of winning 😂. So I’ll take 4-6 any day which if he had any luck could’ve easily been 8-2 if KD had minded his business the reasons I mentioned earlier. Only still losing to Spurs twice which were a well coached and constructed Dynasty team.
The league should retire the number 23 #jordan
Most of this wouldn't have happened if the front office didn’t let go of some of the key players that helped win the 2020 championship. That squad had lots of potential to win more than one chip, but they squandered it.

Lakers are the reason the young squad didn’t succeed they had a very young team with a rookie head coach😂😂 that makes no sense, blind leading the blind Lakers been shitty ever since dr buss passed
Perspective is everything. A lot of Lakers fans wanted to see those young guys grow, especially when you see where some of those guys are in their careers and how effective they are in their roles. Potential was there, but the Lakers went all in on Lebron. But atleast they can say they own a championship out of it.
As a Kings fan who hates the Lakers, I feel really bad for real Lakers fans. Hell my dad stop supporting the Lakers when LeBron came in 2018 and some of my friends are now stop supporting the Lakers, hell my girlfriend's parents even stop supporting the Lakers. This is not the same Lakers franchise that I know. When we say Los Angeles Lakers, you're talking about excellence, you're talking about championships, you're talking about all of the great players that has come played for the Lakers and has put their heart and soul to this franchise and stay devoted to the Lakers. Now the Lakers is just a clown show. Even a Kings fan myself has to feel bad. This is embarrassing. And LeBron fanboys has to stop making excuses. They always say he never played for a great coach. Well damn it, he doesn't like to be coached, he always wanna do things his way. And he has been with good coaches in his career. Ty Lue is one of the best head coaches in the NBA and helped Cleveland win the 2016 NBA Finals, Mike Brown is another good head coach. Not only Mike Brown has been a big part of turning my Sacramento Kings around but he won coach of the year last year and coach of the year when he was with Cleveland when LeBron was still on Cleveland and led them to the 2007 NBA Finals, and then Erik Splostera. Erik Splostera will go down as one of the greatest head coaches in NBA history and what did LeBron try to do. He tried to get the dude fired the minute he went to Miami. Now the fanboys say, he never had a great coach, damn it he had Erik Splostera. He choose to leave Miami. He choose to leave because Erik Splostera and Pat Riley wouldn't let him do it the LeBron James way. That's LeBron choose to leave, not theirs. So yeah LeBron is a coach killer and he had brought this once great Lakers franchise down to the bottom of the food chain and it's nothing but a clown show now

It’s close but personally I got Patrick over embiid. Not only does Pat have that dog in him.. he would delight in hitting embiid with a wide array of moves that embiid typically only sees a few times a year from certain big men
Say what you want about the Lebron era in LA and as nasty as it has been they did win a championship regardless of the circumstance. I’d ask Lakers fans would you rather have the ring or see what the young core of Zo, Ingram, Kuzma and others along with Bron and see how that goes. Unless you think that core develops into a championship level team I think reasonably you take the ring with the AD trade
