I mean they didn't pay Caruso that $$ when they needed too, didn't go get long term contracts due to that $$ in addition to freeing up salary cap space next year, Jeanie and Rob have made Darvin toe the line of "we can't afford new players" a couple days after saying "we need more help".

Dumbass clown ass nikka. Go put some red lipstick on to match the red font divas boy

The Buss kids have no other income then being a Lakers owner. Which is why paying into the luxury tax or spending heavy $$ won't happen like with other owners

Plus the fact that Jeanie is a bottom 5 owner in this league and Pelinka is one of the worst GM's


THIS POST MAKES ZERO SENSE.

LAKERS ARE TOP 6 IN SALARY...
TOP 4 LAST YR...
TOP 5 IN 2021

THEYVE PAID THE LUXURY TAX
ALL THREE SEASONS.

Do the Pacer deal for Turner and Hield. Pray everyone stays healthy for a playoff run.

It's the only thing that makes sense.


Right, they would be dumb to trade everything for Bradley Beal.


Do the Hield/Turner deal and use your draft pick this season for a young player. sign a decent wing with the MLE in the offseason and make a final run with Lebron.

Im not the biggest Jeanie fan but this whole narrative that she or her siblings are too cheap to own/run the team is bullshyt. The Lakers and Buss family have ALWAYS operated this way. They've ALWAYS been willing to pay top dollar for contending squads while also being conservative with the luxury tax.



The Lakers let Trevor Ariza walk after the 09 title because of luxury tax implications. We signed MWP for the mid level exception instead.




Dr Buss used to sell picks and opted out a lot of nikkas from the 3 peat era to save $$$. Opting out Devean



Part of the reason we traded Shaq was cuz Dr Buss didnt want to pay him. Thats why Shaq yelled at Dr Buss "pay me" during a preseason game his last season in LA




Dr Buss always kept his GMs on a tightish budget


But Buss has always kept his general managers -- Jerry West, and now Mitch Kupchak -- focused on the bottom line. Eventually he'd pay the price. Eventually arrived this fall.


In the summer of 2001, under league rules, the Lakers could have exercised their option to extend George's three-year contract through this season for $1.3 million. They decided not to commit that money to a still-unproven talent. The choice cost them some of their rights in future negotiations.

Come the summer of 2002, afraid of losing an athletic young player from their championship core, the Lakers had to give George a $4.5-million-a-year contract for four seasons.


The Buss family have always ran things this way. It's not a Jeanie or Jim or Pelinka or Kurt Rambis thing. Thats how the Buss family operates and they've won 11 titles doing it.

Financially Jeanie is doing nothing different than Dr Buss. Where she lacks is shes too p*ssy to stand up to star players and make a necessary move. Dr Buss wasnt scared to do this and most likely would've never traded for RW, and would've definitely entertained trading AD by now.

the Lakers built a team like they thought it was 2012 and not 2022...in today's NBA, depth is more important to surviving the regular season than top tier talent. I mean Jevon Carter dropped 36 for the Bucks last night with no Giannis, Khris, or Jrue. The teams that can send out 10 productive guys on a nightly basis have the best chance at winning. You can't "Big 3" your way through a season anymore, and it's even worse for LA cause their big 3 is old and often injured

Ask LeBron what his top 5 destinations and trade him.

Trade AD.

Trade any player of value and amass picks and young prospects and start all the way over.

This team is a bottom 5 team and a 37 almost 38 year old Lebron is breaking down.
He can't be traded this year. His extension keeps him in LA till the draft at the least
