We have two players who can play defense, and neither contributes much on offense. The roster is extremely flawed and poorly built, full of one way players. When you look at the top teams in the league, they all have athleticism, spacing, and reliable three point shooting, and we have none of that. There is no pace, no versatility, and no lineup that consistently works. Every year we go into the offseason with the same issues, and every year those issues are not fixed. Too much money is being spent on players who provide little to no value, many of whom are often unavailable. Over 34 million is tied up in three players, Gabe, Vando, and Maxi, who give us nothing. There is zero rim protection, poor spacing, and no clear team identity. Asset mismanagement has left the front office with no flexibility to improve. The roster is simply bad. With new ownership, hopefully they address the issue of management not being competent enough to build a team.

On KRS One's nose, eating sunflower seeds.
I said it in 2018, and I’ll say it again. The Lakers franchise died when Bean retired. Spiritually nothing has been the same, deny all you want. And it’ll never be the same no matter who the Lakers get. Yeah yeah yeah they won in 2020, but even then it didn’t feel right. Bron never meshed with the Lakers because it was forced, not organic. That’s just who he is, GMO.

we also have 52 million tied up to a player who makes the team worse with his presence. can we address that?

Here's a season-by-season breakdown of their regular season records (W-L) and playoff performance during that span:
2010-11: 57-25 (Lost WCF Semis)
2011-12 (Lockout Shortened): 41-25 (Lost WCS Semis)
2012-13: 45-37 (Lost WCR First Round)
2013-14: 27-55 (Missed Playoffs)
2014-15: 21-61 (Missed Playoffs)
2015-16: 17-65 (Missed Playoffs)
2016-17: 26-56 (Missed Playoffs)
2017-18: 35-47 (Missed Playoffs)




Yeah it was Kobe retiring that was the problem :laff:

Just a fanbase full of cucks, Mexicans and Cacnadians. Pathetic in all aspects :mjlol:

Was just at the club in Japan and I’m putting up Jokic numbers. Makes me feel some type of way because I never got hoes like that in the states but here it’s like “Americajin desuka 😍
Nothing like approaching a woman and her eyes lighting up. Too bad I always had a terrible mouth piece. :bryan:

If LeBron doesn't want to come off the bench, I understand.

But if that's the only option, then he needs to solely focus on defense and Rebounding

Like a Super Draymond

The offense ain't working with him and Luka Ball stopping, so he should focus all his energy on defense and being an extra facilitator WITHIN action.

It ain't like the nikka needs anymore stats. He already got em all.

What the fukk else he want, to be an insufferable dictator for a year???
