People don't understand, with luka in, lebron doesn't have to play 35 minutes a night and backs to backs. This is important because at 40 he can be fresh during the play-off. So their will be much more sharing of the ball than people think.
Think we can maximize our potential putting austin on the bench (but playing starting mins). I'd start gabe for a POA defender and hope he can catch and shoot
@@ifeanyichukwuozobu7819 we need a poa defender out there and a wing defender (dfs). Moving austin and rui to the bench will balance out the lineups while also providing adequate scoring in both units maximizing everyone's potential
crazy how they are all sleeping on San Antonio! They went from garbage to playoff candidates in 1 year. Now with Fox they have a serious top NBA guard.
Marcus Smart would be perfect on the Lakers in the Buy-out market. Would Push Reaves to the bench to play that Ginobli role they would win a ship this year.
Celtics season ticket holder here. Marcus’s defensive intensity is off the charts, but his shot selection is awful. Plus, he has been hurt since Boston traded him.
Lakers can’t because his contract is in the 20’s so if he’s bought out the lakers only can sign players in the buy out who’s contract is 12 mil or less…at least I think
Why would anyone do Ben Simmons any favours by buying him out and allowing him to possibly go to a contender? I would keep him and hold him hostage until that deal is done, get my money's worth
Gsw tbh. Come off bench facilitate when green off the floor with steph and Jimmy. Plus Jimmy n green not goin play with him He goin be dunking looking like Philly Simmons
ESPN can you NOT talk about what’s going to happen with KD for the next six months? I only ask because you only ever talk about 4-5 subject ad nauseam all year. Y’all should have the NBA card revoked.
Kendrick Perkins just said Scott Brooks is a defensive minded coach 😂 that man had the wizards playing 4 guards and a big. Had Ish Smith guarding Joel Embiid in the post in the playoffs 😭🤣
Mark Williams was on the lowly Hornets, and still got 16 a game. He's going to be tutored by the best to ever play. He will get it, and he's going to be great. Just watch.
I love when the Laker fans' hopes are sky high. Luka will shape up, LeBron will be tutoring the young ones, Mark Williams will become Robert Parish. And everybody will stay healthy.
Proves once again these idiots (aside from Big Perk) don't watch any games -- Vando won't start, it'll be AR+Luka+LBJ+Rui+Williams starting and Rui is on fire from 3s this year...then you bring Vando and DFS, two big 3+D wings off the bench alongside Gabe, Jax, Shake, Morris etc off the bench...
@ if I’m trading for a center anyways, to even know what a center would’ve looked like is the real question. We was definitely a championship team in the making without Luka. We are 5th seed without Luka.
@ Luka can opt out of the contract in 2026 he’s no guarantee. The moment Luka was traded they mentioned his defense. Luka is not the only pg in the league that can lead a team.. my theory is to finish until the trade deadlinewith a center and if not a good fit. Then trade for Luka. I’m not saying he’s an irrelevant piece to a franchise. Yall laker fans never had anything so yall so antsy to see it. But this still isn’t the move that makes them the best in the west.
@@swiftkid4708 you don’t risk missing on a young generational player for 1 unlikely chip, a center wasn’t going to make them favourites. We’ve never seen a trade this lopsided in any sport, you expect them to let that go?
That’s kind of odd that Windy says Phoenix wanted Valanciunas considering the Wizards only received 2 2nd rounders for him, but they could’ve gotten that 1st that Charlotte received + Nurkic. Clearly Washington isn’t against adding veterans with one year remaining on deals with high cap hits. Yet the wizards traded Jared Butler + 4 2nds for a 1st. The math ain’t mathing for me.
My grizz didn't do enough. I know they tried hard a few years in a row but I think players shy away from memphis cause the area. Some don't like it. I'm hoping we pick up someone. We need a veteran. To many young guys for us
To Perk's point, Mark has been SLOW this year movement wise, bad on D... solid on offense, good rebounding, but his D has been SO rough. Hornets podcasts were questioning if he was even NBA starting material based on this year's showing, especially the past 6 weeks of bad defense and movement. I think he's still not right from the back and foot injuries, which are VERY concerning for a big man of his size. He's got the wingspan, he's high IQ, knows the game, but gosh, the movement, and D has been really, really shoddy lately. I seriously hope he can get right, because I like the guy a LOT, I want him to do well wherever he is, but I'm also, as a Hornets sicko fan, glad the team isn't having to decide whether to pay him this offseason for an extension. I'm not sure how that would have gone based on recent play. He put up numbers, but he also got put up BIG numbers against him and got pushed around badly by even decent centers.
Clippers gonna get Ben Simmons in the buyout and let him do what he does run a 2nd team as a rebounding passing forward who doesn't look to score but can defend a bit better than our backup 4
this bunch of hooligans such as Perk, Malika et al always think that LeFraud and the Lakers are going to do something great at post season.. aint no BS Lakers and Warriors do anything 😂
The best offensive players on the Lakers are horrible defensively and their best defenders are terrible offensive players lol im not saying it won't work but the way it looks on paper.... they either have to hold the opps to 100 or just hope luka and bron are dominant throughout the whole game
reeves cant start with luka,only idiot will think its ok to put luka and reeves with a 40 year old lebron. luka finny smith lebron rui williams then reeves vincent hayes vando
I do not believe a word out of Bob Myers Mouth.. He Helped Create And Enable Draymond Green, Then Myers Got Chicken And Ran!!!! Greens Mouth Ran Of KD, Klay Left, And after he sucker punched Poole, No Player want to be on the Warriors.
anybody watching the body language up there and the undertones ? the corporate speak might not be much appreciated i mean we talking basketball not the S&P500
@JHicks1997 Curry age 36. Draymond age 35. Butler, age 35. I don't see them competing against any of the young lions in the West. OKC is going to the finals.
Bob saying Rui isn't a shooter is wild. 43% from 3 this year and is 6'8 230. So much more valuable than people think.
How many shots he put up? Shooting at high click doesn't mean much if you need high volume - if he's putting 8 threes a game then sure I'll take 43%
He is correct.natural shooters are different from stricky shooters..u don't know basketball if u disagree with he was a fkng gm in the NBA lol.
@@drunkclown5412rui is not a streaky shooter 4 3s a night before lukas increased floor spacing
RUI could be as good as Paolo Banchero (if given the minutes)
Ok thats just not true they play different games completely paolo is like a young lebron rui is more like a lamar odom
the best trade deadline in nba history

Worst! Luka is gone 😢

As a Mavs fan, I disagree...

Hella salty you can feel it through the screen
He’s being realistic. Nothing salty about it.
He's still trying to hide his damage with the warriors.. With Enabling Draymond Green..

DFS should start, not Vando.
scoring off the bench
@@terrancecarter911it will probably happen but they trying to get him in game shape he been out for almost 2 years
Yep, with vando theres not enough spacing
Rui
Dfs and milton have chemistry though.

Rui is starting!!!
Any team who trades for Simmons should fire their GM.
it wouldn’t be a trade, essentially it’s a free signing (vet minimum) bc he’s getting bought out
I think the Spurs could rehab him. He'd have to sign for the vet minimum no matter what team signed or traded for him.
Lakers need his defense
I would trade Beal for him, as least he is off contact next season lol
Bob Myers always seems unnecessarily emotional about really common topics.
I think you’re looking at the wrong guy…. Bob seems as cool as a cucumber any time he talks lol
@@tobiahpicard6882nah he’s definitely emotional. Not built for tv
Keep an eye on Ben Simmons lol for the 90th time and still sit on the bench as reserve
😂😂😂😂

Ben Simmons needs to be traded to China 🇨🇳
Dennis Schröder is on the move lmao. They keep selling him
Should have taken the Lakers money when they offered it to him.
KD'S name was brought up and now at the end of the season he is gonna request a trade watch.
Why would anyone do Ben Simmons any favours by buying him out and allowing him to possibly go to a contender? I would keep him and hold him hostage until that deal is done, get my money's worth
Gsw tbh. Come off bench facilitate when green off the floor with steph and Jimmy. Plus Jimmy n green not goin play with him

3:46 Perk wrong. It isn't that LeBron and Luka can't play together, it is that they can't defend - especially on the floor at the same time.
Mark Williams was on the lowly Hornets, and still got 16 a game. He's going to be tutored by the best to ever play. He will get it, and he's going to be great. Just watch.

Cavs should get Simmons off the buyout
Dude they acting like Luka looks like Chuck. Every star player should be gassed in the finals or unless your team is super stacked…
Perk is so bad SMH
Myers in his feelings for no reason
Lmao
We dont want Ben Simmons 🚀
Any team that wasted assets to get Ben is doomed.
Trade ben Simmons to the g League
Simmons for Bronny
Straight Up.
Please don’t say „Dallas“ didn’t believe in Luka- cause only Nico did not!
I enjoy Haslem much more than I thought it would?
watch his podcast its great
no one wants ben simmons. just like no one wants freaking beal... bad contracts for players who used to perform and dont no more.
Lakers are a first round exit
Yea ok homie. Lol
You're right. LeBron will run out of gas.
@@miami4253 Why would he though? He doesn't have to carry anymore
ud waiting for perkins to say something about the heat
If somehow the wizards waive smart the Lakers better be on that asap we need more defense
Wizards may just hold on to smart to teach the young players the wizards have
Austin Reeves to run second unit with Rui
Finney smith to the starting spot to help with the defense
This is so simple
Simmons for Bronny
Straight Up.
First time I heard Haslem. I enjoy him as a NBA analyst. Player for another Laker great.
Remove maleka Andrews from this panel
No one is afraid of this incomplete Laker roster. Top heavy don’t even cover it
Huh ? They have 2 stars like every other good team

Never will understand why we trade Knect later for a center when that’s literally all we needed.
so u prefer to keep AD instead of Luka??????

Did he really need a dedicated moment at the screen to tell us that? What a let down.

LeBron doesn’t have the athleticism he once had to make this team work.
Kd will be traded if they lose in the first round lol 💯 that's what that means 😅
Mark willaims stats vs Kessler and the jocker ..says enough
Really Bob?? No shooting! That’s your worry? Only worry is health and defensively!
Mark Williams played for Duke so he knows all about big games. Not the greatest comparison directly to LeBron but I think he’ll be ok
Concern for Reaves 🤣
Mark Williams is already better than Kendrick Perkins ever was.
A lot of TV time for a team that's 10.5 games behind OKC.
