LeBron James and Anthony Davis have expressed growing concern that the Lakers roster is not good enough and feel like changes need to be made

A guy that’s played like 10 games in 2 years, another who’s a shell of his Miami days and Rui aren’t getting you shyt:russ: Reaves and picks is the only guy who can get you something worthwhile and whoever that is, isn’t putting this team close to winning a title anyway

Not only are they not getting you shyt they're bad contracts you'd have to attach picks to just to get rid of. So really any decent player will take Reaves/Vando/Gabe and picks. All to get bounced in the second round at best

Rui/Austin are the key pieces. JHS is expiring contracts or salary filler

Toronto for example is a team that’s reportedly high on Rui. Not all Teams are trading to get “good players”

I feel like the Coli doesn’t understand this

Teams want to stockpile picks, while also playing mid ass players on decent contracts to get potentially higher lottery picks

Bron took the paycheck it’s a wrap on salary cap.

And to keep it a bean I 1000% believe they would have had two chips if they kept Dwight, Rondo, and McGee after ‘20
yeah, maybe if they didn't trade away all their wing depth either, they'd be contenders

Danny Green
KCP
Caruso

a ridiculous wing trio, with AD anchoring. They threw it away slowly

How… when literally the 2 most recent games he’s played in the G league are regular season games and those are his stats

:what:


He got hot from 3 for one fukking game u groupie

In these 2 games you're dikkriding, he's 13-31 overall that's fukking terrible. He's 6-13 from 3 because one game he got hot and shot 3-5.

The other game, 3-8 from 3 which is decent but shot 6-17 overall. So okay he gets kinda hot from 3 for two games while still managing to take a whole lot of shots from inside the arc and bricking them all.

and mind you, both of them games were against the same team, on the road vs Cleveland :dead: And this was 3 weeks ago and he hasnt played since

There contenders that got worse supportin casts past they top 2 than Reaves, Rui, Christie, Dorian, Vando, Knecht, Hayes....

The hard truth is Bron can't be a number 1 on a contender anymore and probably not even number 2. nikkas will point to his boxscore 23, 9, 8 whatever but that don't capture the story Bron one of the worst defenders in the league. He don't even play no defense no more shyt is wild. He just stands there, doesn't get back transition, doesn't rotate, guard his man. He just a statue out there his impact is that of a 3rd option at best in 2025.

Most team don't got a 3rd guy as good as Reaves. If Bron was still in his prime nothin would be said bout this supportin cast. Its just he not a top 15 player no more. AD still a borderline top 5 player but Bron top 15-20 range at best. He not a good enough number 2 unless they got another superstar top 10 type of player.

Only way they can be a legit contender wit level of Bron now is if they got another top 10, top 15 level player like Steph :russ:

nikkas signed those contracts wit quickness knowin they wouldn't have same roster flexibility. You can't cry bout roster moves when it's all ya fault. Ain't never seen Tim Duncan complain bout rosters cause that nikka always took mad paycuts to have best teams they could. That should be a part of legacy talks honestly or at least when you havin start a franchise wit talks.

I know numbers scare you.. but that’s what his % is from 3 on the regular season. Which shows improvement, which is all anyone who is rooting for the Lakers should care about with their G league roster

Dikriding would be buying a doll of another man, placing it next to your bed, and kissing it every night

How’s that Kobe doll?

This goofy ass dude needs to retire already, but I’ve enjoyed him holding the lakers hostage. Every move they’ve man has been to pacify LeBron and his off the court life, not for winning.
