I hate to bring this up, but all this just makes me realize that the Lakers have never truly recovered from the horrible Russell Westbrook trade in 2021. If the Lakers had just kept the 2020 roster more or less the same going into 2021, they probably would be in much more favorable position than right now.
I remember telling myself they gave up way too much for Westbrook. The fit of two ball dominant like Brown and Westbrook didn’t help. I’m glad Westbrook is doing better though.
@@hmohngcheelee7549 everyone from fans like us to NBA sports analysts said it wouldn’t work even the biggest LeBron fans in the media(Shannon Sharpe & Nick Wright) had mix feelings on the trade crazy thing is the Lakers didn’t have a bad roster for the 2020-21 season a lot of people forget they had the 2nd best record in the West before AD went down they were 21-6 they panicked once Bron went down and then AD got injured in the playoffs and lost to the Suns in 6
Lebron is trying to squeeze out one more win in LA then run to the Cavs again, he knows Mitchell is a superstar scorer and that Allen and Garland have each once made allstar before, he knows theyre he can team jump
It still amazes me the lakers thought trading all their depth, including some of their best defensive assets for a ball dominant point guard past his prime who doesn’t play good defense was a great idea. We went from the best defensive team in the league to average-below average at best.
02/05/24 Everyone is looking at Bronny, barring any unforseen circumstances or injuries, Bryce is gonna be the breakout basketball player. Remember I told you this day.
Why should he stay ? Lol. He isn’t going to be. A rocket scientist. Worst case he spends some time in the g league and develops a pro game and if it doesn’t work out then it wasn’t meant to be.
@LordoftheTHOTs NBA players flame out all the time. Just look at old draft classes to see how many guys amount to nothing. Besides if you go too soon you don't get the opportunity to play which is what most guys need to get better. Bronny declaring just to ride the bench won't help him establish himself as anything other than Lebron's son. He should stay in college, get actual playing time/development, and hell continue cashing NIL checks. Ain't like he isn't making bank in college
Imagine the team who's trying to win and does not want the puppet show rental for the year, in a player who will be 40 this year and a son not ready for it all. Just a one-year rental, lose a lot of future draft picks, your coach, fan base, and other key players, just for one year, for one player, and a kid not ready for the NBA, imagine that.
The “LeBron has no help” narrative makes no sense when you realize that the lakers are statistically superior without LeBron and that their roster even without LeBron over the last few years would be a 40+ win team
The reason the lakers struggled for a bit was injuries to LeBron and AD while having players that don't fit (russ for example). They also having a losing record with Lebron off the court and made the WCF last year I think you're just hating
lebron coming back to Cleaveland is the equivalent of a father that abandons he's child and miracoulsly comes back when said child wins a lottery. Both the first comeback and the potential second one.
Whoa whoa whoa....you can hate on LeBron all you like, but to characterize his first return to Cleveland as "returning because their child won the lottery," I strongly disagree. The Cavs were pretty terrible prior to his return and NEEDED him and Kevin Love to eventually become the juggernaut that they were.
The first time. Hell No. That team sucked. The front office sucked. Hell! Even kyrie........wasn't.......ok he had the asg mvp and FIBA mvp but!.........he still had not fully broken out. Mostly cause he wasn't in the playoffs to show it on the biggest stage but I digress. That and he was actually pretty injury prone even then. So yeah when he came back it was absolutely a gamble still. He had something to come back to but no cleveland did not stay up without him get out of here with that.
@@thekidfromcleveland3944 Yeah I really don't get hoe you can equate the losing seasons with a Kyrie led Cavs to a son that won the lottery. He even got injured again in 2015 and missed the Finals, LeBron definitely took a chance on Cleveland in the 2010s.
Way out of context, he wanted him fired cause he was a rookie coach that was doing bad at first but as soon as he stepped up, he respected him ever since
@@sageofcausality173 I don't think it's way out of context to say he wanted him fired. He still wanted him fired, and Riley said no. I don't think Miami is a fan of players who try to be that controlling. Heat Culture is all about following their rules.
As a Lakers fan, I believe that making a trade for Murray would be a stupid idea and just accept the season for what it is. If they are going to make a trade, it should be in the off season and hopefully Lebron decides to sign a two-year return deal. Whatever management decides to do with Darvin Ham in the offseason is what they decide.
@@huecogrinding4804 Old man Bron is still a top 10 player in the league while the Heat don't have a top 10 player right now and Jimmy is only going to get worse.
I dont think Lebron to the Heat moves the needle for them, which is weird considering we are talking about LeBron. Losing two of their best shooters would hurt them far more than what LeBron might bring to the table.
I can't tell you about that Pingalore guy as a sources guy, I just remember him being the anchor for my local TV station's sports segment on the news as a kid growing up in PA lol
I don't think it makes a ton of sense for many teams to trade for LeBron. I know he can still play, but you're trading for a guy that is about to hit 40 & has a player option after this season. You don't want to start moving young pieces for a half season rental on LeBron. Unless the Lakers just want to move on from him at whatever price & you can get him for bad contracts & 2nd round picks, it's probably wise to not pursue this one. The Heat already don't have a ton of shooting. Trading the only 2 shooters they do have would probably be a disaster.
Either go to a team that he can win a title or just give up and retire!? But then again, he's waiting for his son to come to the league this year or or next year or maybe next year after.
I feel like the fact that Lebron could retire any season now, could fall off/get injured any season now, and isn't the player he was even 5 years ago (even though he's still great) make him not worth that much in a trade cause it's likely a very bad long term investment and only a maybe good short term one. The thing is cause he's Lebron the Lakers will ask for a ton of stuff in return which given where Lebron is at in his career is such a massive risk and might cause a franchise to trade everything just to get a season or 2 out of him. Although the $ one could make from getting him and Bronny may be worth any risk. TBH I think Lebron will ride it out in the NBA (assuming he doesn't get a horrible injury) until Bronny gets there. My guess is he'll play 1 season with Bronny and then retire, whether it takes 1,2, or 3 seasons to get that done. Beyond 3 seasons it's very doubtful he will still be able to play but Bronny will almost certainly be in the league within that time.
Seen every gm. The issue is inconsistency. That's what a .500 record represents. Inconsistent rotations, lead to inconsistent roles, leading to inconsistent chemistry, leading to inconsistent play, finally leading to inconsistent effort. It starts w/ Ham learning AD & LBJ need to stagger mins as much as possible since they are the 2 plug & play guys. Sticking w/ a starting lineup & barring injury, not changing it. When that happens his subs will be easier bc then when just AD or LBJ are on the court he'll know who to put in based on need . That will solidify roles & so on. When a player knows what they need to do night in night out it allows role players to lock in better. It also lets him see who isn't doing their job so it can be addressed. Trades only work if you know what role needs to be filled.
Yo! I appreciated how you guys were humble and walked back some of the talk on the Clippers. So when are you guys going to apologize to Cleveland/talk about the Cavs' crazy run!?
No, as a Heat fan..... what the team needs is size, as much as we missed this man around 9 or 10 years ago... we're trying to go for size Karma what do you think I don't even think about Damian Lillard, I Stars matter but at the same time we need size
Lebron would be the perfect 4 for the Heat rn. I don't think he's gonna get trade but I do think he's going to use his player option and leave most likely to the Cavs. *If* he goes to the Heat this summer, we can easily run a Rozier/Robinson/Jimmy/Bron/Bam line-up and instantly become contenders in the East. This is also ignoring any other free agents that would want to sign with the Heat (because it's in Miami and Bron is there now).
I think so. LeBron has ruined what the Lakers stand for, by hanging the In-Season Tournament Champion Banner. It makes no sense, especially knowing that the Late, Great Kobe Bryant said it’s only one banner this team hangs, and the IST doesn’t meet the standard.
@@chrisuncleahmad666 Those teams aren't the Lakers so there wouldn't be much of a discussion on whether another team hangs the IST banner considering several other teams in the league hang their division or conference banners. I'd say the only two teams to have that level of standard of "Championship Banners Only" Would be the Lakers and perhaps the Celtics.
No one thinks the Wizards "ruined" Jordan's legacy despite Wiz Jordan playing much worse than current Lebron. If Lebron signs a player option and goes to a contender, no one is going to bat an eye.
He look for the foul call every damn time. The goat of flopping. And didn't the Lakers just win against Boston without him. He was always "the chosen one" but what has he done shot 230 free-throws this year
Thank you!!! Someone finally said it. Bronny could be good, he shows flashes of that “ it” factor, but I’d love to see him develop more . He’s still too raw to go into the nba draft.
the minute the lakers traded away all their young players and prospects for russ their championship window closed. now their cupboards are bare and they have no assets they can use to improve their team.
Dude the Lakers are coming off of beating two of the Eastern conference’s best/hottest teams on consecutive nights. This team hasn’t been healthy and fully intact EVER this season. LeBron doesn’t need a trade, Lakers don’t need a trade. They need to just stand pat and improve from within. Lakers have everything they need on this roster to get it done I’m tired of the excuses. As we’ve seen these past couple games they are fully capable of beating anyone their only problem is consistency and for them comes their effort/energy
He should just play out the season in LA. They're going to be fighting for a play-in spot for the foreseeable future. Unless they go on a huge losing streak, they should be in a 7-10 spot and they're undefeated in the play-in tourney as well.
The Lakers aren't contenders because of Lebron and AD. AD won't play the 5 and Lebron just isn't really playing anymore. The game against the Celtics proves that. It's just facts and if you disagree. As for Ham, he needs a lot more respect. Ham literally has to coach 4v5 every single game without upsetting Lebron all while Lebron treats his team mates like they are all incompetent. How about Lebron just retires with honour and the NBA moves on?
AD has literally been playing the 5 the entire season... Lebron hit daggers against the Warriors and the Knicks in the last two weeks. You gotta be a troll or you're just not watching the games lol
Lebron was locked in during the in-season tournament, he was running the floor, hustling on defense, and putting in near maximum effort. Lately, he’s been making lazy switches, lazy unforced turnovers, forcing up bad shots, and complaining to the refs instead of getting back on defense. I’ve watched about 3/4th of the Lakers games this season, and I’ve seen him quit on the team at least a dozen times. If your leader isn’t bringing the energy, how can you expect the rest of the team to do it?
darvin ham has been doing NOTHIN as a coach this year besides put his hands in his pockets and hoping LeBron would do the real coaching man stop defending this ass coach
Any trade for lebron wouldnt be to make a team better, it would be just for publicity. Lebron makes good players bad and his son is def not nba material.
Root for LeBron to do what? Actually, play defense? Finish an offensive position on the right side of the floor to try to get an offensive rebound? How exactly do you root for this guy who is completely entitled and I can understand why because he has no bag.
If LeBron leaves the Lakers I think a team that would be a good fit would be Philly. They have the cap space and a big three of Maxey, LeBron, and Embiid would be hard to stop. Only question mark would be LeBron and Embiid’s health.
I heard a rumor that the owner of the lakers is petitioning to re brand as the LA Mambas. No idea if there is any credence to the rumors but what you guys think?
The best thing the Lakers could do is trade Lebron and get whatever u can in return and start building around Davis. Fire the coach in the offseason and bring in someone that knows how to actually handle egos and motivate players. Even if that team crashes and burns. I rather support that mess as opposed to watching lebron pretend he’s still 29 and the best player on the court.
5:05 Not important to the video but seeing LeBron, not only in the numbers 0, 11, 8 and 13 but in a jersey swap for the two other teams he's already played for is just appalling yet hilarious.
maybe it's being a cavs fan and ripping copium but the ideal narrative in my eyes is lebron grew up in Akron, drafted by cavs, left for Miami, came back to finish the job, left for LA, and comes home to bring the cavs to the top of the mountain one final time with his son
Damn you guys dropped the ball with this one. Kawhi to LA was totally expected and I'm canadian, LA is his home, and I can't wait for lebron to leave LA so I can actually root for my team and not the bronny bunch trade our young core away for a mickey mouse ring
Reminder that Lebron still has zero (non-Bubble) rings where he wasn't on the most stacked superteam in the league, and media clowns try to pretend like this guy is in the GOAT discussion 😂😂😂 Kobe is the best and most influential player since Jordan, not Lebron. Even Steph has won the same number of rings (if you count Lebron's bubble ring) without needing to teamhop or constantly beg for "more help" when he already has a great supporting cast (like Lebron has had every year since 2010).
I think that the lakers could either keep lebron and get him to retire there and try to build a good team without trading too many first round picks or they could trade lebron for good players and try to be good with our current team without lebron but a few other good players or call a rebuild and trade lebron, ad, Austin reavers, dilo and get as many picks as possible
Hear me out, LeBron could become LeJackie Moon. Owner, Coach, Player. Either set up a new team and convince Adam Silver to push up the expansion timeline or get traded to somea team like the Pistons, work a deal with the owernship and move the team to a Flint, Michagan or Akron, Ohio. LeGenius, LeOwner, LeGM, LeCoach, LeSmall Forward. Be all LE can be
As a die-hard Sacramento Kings who absolutely hates the Lakers, I feel really really bad for Lakers fans that they have to deal with this bum ass team and have to with the annoying ass LeBron James who the media will always makes excuses and will do anything to keep him protected. And I also feel bad for Darvin Ham because he's becoming the escapegoat for the LA Lakers. Darvin Ham is not the problem, the problem is LeBron James. He has played like shit ever since the in-season tournament ended, AD has been carrying the Lakers for awhile now, Austin Reeves is 3rd on the Lakers in scoring so he's doing his thing. What has LeBron James has done lately, really nothing. How many times does LeBron James needs help. He always needs help and always needs a damn superteam. I'm sick and tired of the NBA media always making excuses and I'm tired of hearing LeBron James always needing help. Why LeBron James needs all the great players in the league. Why can't he just making his team work and try to find a way to make it work with team chemistry, and trusting in your teammates
(about going to New York) "you get them a championship ... the goat debate is over!" **ggg** what are YOU guys smoking? And: how disrespectful against the NY squad, who doesn't NEED Lebron. But, for selfish reasons only: I would really like to see Lebron going there and making the team worse... then I'd like to hear the "he makes every team better" narrative again.
I hate to bring this up, but all this just makes me realize that the Lakers have never truly recovered from the horrible Russell Westbrook trade in 2021.

No, it is not. Next.
Lebron needs to keep stat padding.
He should just play out the season in LA. They're going to be fighting for a play-in spot for the foreseeable future. Unless they go on a huge losing streak, they should be in a 7-10 spot and they're undefeated in the play-in tourney as well.
Yall put the intro at the end haha
Lebron needs to retire … he’s not gonna help any team he goes to he’ll get numbers won’t help a team ..
Bron Bron is the walking definition of “can’t handle you at your worst, doesn’t deserve you at your best.”
This being a LeBron fanpage im surprised you kept it a buck hope you dont lose fans over this
LeBron needs to retire
tf?
@@daemonch.9307The lakers are a good team without LeBron.
@@Rozwell007 that's a very different thing than he needs to retire
25-7-7 and allstar captain sounds better than more than half of the league
@@Rozwell007im a Lakers hater but that’s not true, they literally rely on both AD & bron and if one of them aren’t present things can fall out quick
If I was Bron I’m going to Atlanta
Clown to clown conversation
The sweet Irony is that he would be a great fit in NY
the roster is stacked as fuck. lebron is the problem. trade him or theyll never win anything.
Stacked? You really think an AD and Reaves duo would scare OKC/Minnesota/Sacramento?
@@chrisuncleahmad666 ad, austin reaves, dlo, rui, christian wood. yeah i think thats a pretty stacked team lol.
its time for lebron to retire
Can we trade ham for a second round pick
Who’s here after Lebron actually got traded
3-4 years late but yeah, Lakers will be better without LeBron, for real for real
Don’t let the door hit your old ass, on the way out
The Lakers aren't contenders because of Lebron and AD. AD won't play the 5 and Lebron just isn't really playing anymore. The game against the Celtics proves that. It's just facts and if you disagree. As for Ham, he needs a lot more respect. Ham literally has to coach 4v5 every single game without upsetting Lebron all while Lebron treats his team mates like they are all incompetent. How about Lebron just retires with honour and the NBA moves on?
AD has literally been playing the 5 the entire season... Lebron hit daggers against the Warriors and the Knicks in the last two weeks. You gotta be a troll or you're just not watching the games lol
Darvin Ham plays a rotational player 30 minutes a game easily the worst coach in the league
@@dawsonkhoury1440 Doesnt change the fact that they aren't contenders.
Lebron was locked in during the in-season tournament, he was running the floor, hustling on defense, and putting in near maximum effort.
Lately, he’s been making lazy switches, lazy unforced turnovers, forcing up bad shots, and complaining to the refs instead of getting back on defense.
I’ve watched about 3/4th of the Lakers games this season, and I’ve seen him quit on the team at least a dozen times.
If your leader isn’t bringing the energy, how can you expect the rest of the team to do it?
darvin ham has been doing NOTHIN as a coach this year besides put his hands in his pockets and hoping LeBron would do the real coaching man stop defending this ass coach
Lakers aren't winning anything so if they can fleece a team in a LeBron trade now, it's better than him leaving for nothing either this year or next
Any trade for lebron wouldnt be to make a team better, it would be just for publicity. Lebron makes good players bad and his son is def not nba material.
Root for LeBron to do what? Actually, play defense? Finish an offensive position on the right side of the floor to try to get an offensive rebound? How exactly do you root for this guy who is completely entitled and I can understand why because he has no bag.
If LeBron leaves the Lakers I think a team that would be a good fit would be Philly. They have the cap space and a big three of Maxey, LeBron, and Embiid would be hard to stop. Only question mark would be LeBron and Embiid’s health.
Bro if that happens. And they're all healthy. It might change both Brons and Embiids for the better.
I still think it would be cool if Steph and Lebron teamed up and win their 5th ring together. That’s a good story too.
It really is....
Bron needs to retire from basketball
? Why
@@dominiquerosemond5682 why not?
@@dominiquerosemond5682 cause he's a cancer to the NBA. viewership is in the tank and this guy is a HUGE reason why
@@Jmiah-j7vwhere’s your proof
I would love to see lebron on the mavs or knicks.
A retrospective on Reggie Miller's career would be fucking great if you ask me.
The notion lebron makes his teammates better is dead everytime someone plays with him they play worse 😂
That’s a lie and Idomt like lebron. He’s the greatest floor raiser ever
@@Viewingviewer3 He raises the team, not his teammates.
I am not basketballexpert, but I need ask, what would you do if the blazers draft brony? 😅
I heard a rumor that the owner of the lakers is petitioning to re brand as the LA Mambas. No idea if there is any credence to the rumors but what you guys think?
The best thing the Lakers could do is trade Lebron and get whatever u can in return and start building around Davis. Fire the coach in the offseason and bring in someone that knows how to actually handle egos and motivate players. Even if that team crashes and burns. I rather support that mess as opposed to watching lebron pretend he’s still 29 and the best player on the court.
5:05 Not important to the video but seeing LeBron, not only in the numbers 0, 11, 8 and 13 but in a jersey swap for the two other teams he's already played for is just appalling yet hilarious.
He's not no random Reporter he's the guy that made all sports media look stupid
maybe it's being a cavs fan and ripping copium but the ideal narrative in my eyes is lebron grew up in Akron, drafted by cavs, left for Miami, came back to finish the job, left for LA, and comes home to bring the cavs to the top of the mountain one final time with his son
It didn't work with Joe and it won't work with James either. I know it sucks and hurts but it's the truth. Was a great 5 games though
As lakers fans, I hope bron gets traded because I don't want him to waste his last years in a bad team.
Damn you guys dropped the ball with this one. Kawhi to LA was totally expected and I'm canadian, LA is his home, and I can't wait for lebron to leave LA so I can actually root for my team and not the bronny bunch trade our young core away for a mickey mouse ring
a ring is still a ring man u other laker fans are ungrateful tbh
a ring is still a ring man u other laker fans are ungrateful tbh
Lebron just going to teams with a lot of talent already doesn't really do anything for his legacy.
Reminder that Lebron still has zero (non-Bubble) rings where he wasn't on the most stacked superteam in the league, and media clowns try to pretend like this guy is in the GOAT discussion 😂😂😂
Kobe is the best and most influential player since Jordan, not Lebron.
Even Steph has won the same number of rings (if you count Lebron's bubble ring) without needing to teamhop or constantly beg for "more help" when he already has a great supporting cast (like Lebron has had every year since 2010).
I think that the lakers could either keep lebron and get him to retire there and try to build a good team without trading too many first round picks or they could trade lebron for good players and try to be good with our current team without lebron but a few other good players or call a rebuild and trade lebron, ad, Austin reavers, dilo and get as many picks as possible
Should've kept that 2021 Lakers team, no clue why they just overreacted and traded everyone after losing to the suns with an injured AD
fax and it didnt help both came back towards the end of the season so the chemistry wasnt right there.
Hear me out, LeBron could become LeJackie Moon. Owner, Coach, Player. Either set up a new team and convince Adam Silver to push up the expansion timeline or get traded to somea team like the Pistons, work a deal with the owernship and move the team to a Flint, Michagan or Akron, Ohio. LeGenius, LeOwner, LeGM, LeCoach, LeSmall Forward. Be all LE can be
That Random Tweet Wasn't So Random Wasn't It.
Just retire Lebron . NBA will be a better place without you. Start of the league getting back to the glory days maybe once he's gone.
That would be the best thing ever to happen to the Lakers
As a die-hard Sacramento Kings who absolutely hates the Lakers, I feel really really bad for Lakers fans that they have to deal with this bum ass team and have to with the annoying ass LeBron James who the media will always makes excuses and will do anything to keep him protected. And I also feel bad for Darvin Ham because he's becoming the escapegoat for the LA Lakers. Darvin Ham is not the problem, the problem is LeBron James. He has played like shit ever since the in-season tournament ended, AD has been carrying the Lakers for awhile now, Austin Reeves is 3rd on the Lakers in scoring so he's doing his thing. What has LeBron James has done lately, really nothing. How many times does LeBron James needs help. He always needs help and always needs a damn superteam. I'm sick and tired of the NBA media always making excuses and I'm tired of hearing LeBron James always needing help. Why LeBron James needs all the great players in the league. Why can't he just making his team work and try to find a way to make it work with team chemistry, and trusting in your teammates
Bruh stfu, you a kings fan. Tell your bum ass franchise to get to the finals before criticizing anyone.
he did last year lol and he will do it again this year
@xtucs I would not be surprised if he did because he always begging for help and always needs the best players or just solid good role players
@@Kings0424 bro we only need to fire darvin ass then we will be back on track
@@xtucs Not gonna lie, I don't think Darvin Ham is the problem at all in my opinion
For how much they have traded to make lebron happy they should have more then one title!
Its time for Lebron to leave the NBA. He's just dragging out the inevitable. He's not getting a fifth ring so he may as well call it a career.
Get that man in a Knicks Jersey
lakers need a solid big like dwight again... gives ad more space to cook at the 4
dwight gettin freaky in taiwan
Is anybody drafting Bronny? He still looks like a really good high school player.
(about going to New York)
"you get them a championship ... the goat debate is over!"
**ggg** what are YOU guys smoking? And: how disrespectful against the NY squad, who doesn't NEED Lebron.
But, for selfish reasons only: I would really like to see Lebron going there and making the team worse... then I'd like to hear the "he makes every team better" narrative again.
After all the roster turnover he's caused in Cleveland and LA, I can't believe anybody still uses that argument.
