How do you feel about the Magic potentially signing DLo? And then what are your thoughts on Reddick/Cassell/Borrego being interviewed? Comment down below! Thanks for watching! Don't forget to drop a like + subscribe if you enjoyed the video :)

[@andreperry7995]

Why are u not talking about Cavs and the Bulls don't want to do a trade with the Lakers? That is important news man.

[@JoshuaMartian-go3tm]

We've taken VERY experienced coaches and coaches with limited experience that haven't worked out and have fired both. Which means it's a gamble either way. Reddick is no more a risk to me in that regard. If he can put players in positions to be successful and the players want him, why not?

[@tjuannepitchford3943]

I like D-Lo, wouldn’t mind him staying but if wants to go to Orlando, more power to him. Even tho they were a playoff team in the watered down East, the wide open 3’s he got in LA won’t be the same.

[@KIrvin_The_Scholar]

Rob Pelinka needs to go. We went from having the deepest team in the league to having a depleted roster with limited draft picks & if we lose D-Lo without being able to replace his 18million in cap space it will be devastating. It would cost us the rest of our minimal depth to even make a trade for a decent player. Then whats left at that point. We squandered Kuzma, KCP, Caruso, Zubac, Schroder, Trez, THT & a few first. Taking Shafino instead of trading back to get more assets. When does it stop...

[@Funnysqauwd25]

You take is trash we still have a deep team they just got injured this year stfu

[@Eastra3]

You do know that is what LBJ does to teams. He doesn’t care about the team, so as to leave them in a good place when he leaves. No, LBJ will drain your team’s assets trying to win a chip, even if it will set you back 7 years when he leaves.

[@KIrvin_The_Scholar]

@@Eastra3 well he's definitely succeeded

[@Adrastus_KR9]

From the players to the coach then coach staff and now rob pelinka, why not just disband the lakers at this point

[@KIrvin_The_Scholar]

@@Adrastus_KR9 naw, just Rob. It's his job to make the personnel decisions along with Jeanie & we can't fire the owner.

[@Pleasecriticize]

Yall stay hating on D’Angelo Russell but if you look back at some of his best performances, he’s a huge reason as to why we even got into the play tournament. Inconsistencies are whack as fuck. Don’t get me wrong look at the last five minutes of most of the games and you’ll see that a lot of the times we lost by small margins because LeBron‘s lack of defense on top of everyone else’s lack of defensive effort. All the scapegoating just makes us as broken as before.

[@JSM24]

I think a lot of people undervalue how much a guy like DLo helps a team actually get to the playoffs (which you do need to do to make the Finals believe it or not lol). There’s value in that. Though, the playoff inconsistency is certainly an issue as well. That is why I’d rather upgrade from him, but also would do anything it takes to not lose him for nothing. Lakers gotta be careful here.

[@8red227]

So did you think why in the last five minutes LeBron lack at defense? Have you ever think because dlo and reaves are inconsistent at the offensive side leading to LeBron need to score by himself and ad

[@thanemlesstrue-arrow5724]

One of the Lakers' recent glaring weaknesses, especially in the Westbrick era, was 3 point shooting and a secondary playmaker to ease the pressure on Lebron. DLo addresses both of those concerns. I think losing Vando's defense is what really hurt us. Vando and DLo are the perfect complementary pair to cover for each other's weaknesses. It wasn't DLo's fault that Vando got hurt. I mean didn't he set some kind of a record for 3 pointers made in a season for the Lakers. He is exactly what we need, he wants to be here, he wants to be wanted, and he's home grown as we drafted him. Sheesh.

[@michaelvalenzuela5030]

D'Lo is a key player for us fr.

[@Eastra3]

The first year Westbrook was here, we went all offense on the role players, and had good shooting. The 2nd year Westbrook was here, they had more defensive guards that couldn’t shoot. Before Westbrook, we also had issues with consistent shooting. So the Lakers have been looking for a player like D’lo for at least 5 years, but he’s going to end up being sacrificed on LBJ’s alter.

[@schmitkeoriginals]

D Lo gotta go... 38% fg CAREER in playoffs, not just bad in LA, bad in BK, bad in Minn too... good point @JSM re: sign and trade. JJ WILL BE the coach, LeBook-it. 💯💯💯

[@user-lu2me6rx5x]

That's a lie Russ had solid season 18 points on 45 percent from two and 42 from three. Tell LeBron not too shoot so early on shot clock game 2 put longer on Murray game 5

[@user-lu2me6rx5x]

Russell dropped 40 on llilard twice

[@user-lu2me6rx5x]

Lakers issue is coaching

[@schmitkeoriginals]

@@user-lu2me6rx5x you do know on basketball ref you can switch it from regular season stats to PLAYOFFS... I gotchu brah! 😉😉😉 ***edit: D Lo is a great regular season player... which means nothing, and Magic Johnson the greatest PG of all time shipped him out for lack of leadership, it's just obvious***

[@georgegonzalez1996]

I think Sam Cassel is who I’m hoping they hire.

[@rashidmuhammad3094]

Reddick/ Sam Cassell are the coaches of the Lakers, they are more knowledgeable of the game than any of the current candidates that have been considered. They are your coach that will take the team far into the future as well as a minimal contract initially. They will manage the locker room along with input from veterans LeBron and AD; they are players coachs and understands the needs of there coaching staff. We need two real bigs, Valanciunas/Drumond/Dwight ( ie 2020 chip) along side AD, we need a six man, Dramond/Bobby Portes etc. We need a two way guard to manage Jamall Murry and Anthony Edwards.... Demar/Donavan/Caruso/Keli Ubrea/Marcus Smart/JaMonte Murray/Brogden/Bones Hyland . We have the assets, the picks and the money to make this happen. Doc Rivers, Ty Lou, , Chauncey Billups had no direct coaching experience other than one of many assistants.

[@I.am_Groot]

Neither of those guys is going to get LeBron to change his ways... It is not hard to figure out why after all this time 'King' James can't get a top level coach to come sign up.

[@williamwatson2501]

We need a GM not a player agent! Fuc Kobe u left us wit this bum n charge! U was supposed to do his job

[@williamwatson2501]

He can’t coach

[@NopUsesAPencil-ou1ud]

What y’all think 🧐: - Keep the Starting 5 (Dlo,AR,Vando..) - Keep Max and Rui - Get 2 Defensive Bigs (for Jokic) - Get an 3nD guard who can guard Murray

[@drewcutie]

Man we need a real team not vs nuggets

[@YungLanxx]

If Dlo walks for nothing then I would’ve been absolutely correct about trading Westbrook for Buddy Hield and Myles Turner even for an extra first round pick. The Westbrook trade resulted in Dlo who has been a definitive negative in the playoffs, Malik Beasley who left for nothing and Vanderbilt who barely played this season. I was constantly told Turner wouldn’t be worth trading for because of his injury history yet he’s been pretty available the past two seasons and has been playing great for Indiana. I was told Buddy Hield doesn’t play defence, yet Lakers still have had horrible guard defence regardless since. Hield was also on a very team friendly contract and could’ve been a good trade piece if needed. They’re most likely back to square one needing to trade more draft picks to stay competitive and would use those picks for more Jalen Hood-Schifinos, also now we’re hoping for the likes of Goga Bitadze and Xavier Tillman to help AD, cmon lol

[@vgon]

Best Case is we could find a sign and trade for Dlo. We can still say Reaves and Rui can play better under a new coach. I am no the side of trade both for a better 2 way player though. If Max Christie, Maxwell Lewis and JHS can provide that similar impact, Lakers better bring in a very good player using Rui and Reaves and still have depth with Christie, Lewis and JHS. You do not want to waste those players by sitting them on the bench. Of course, if they are not ready yet, All the above talks are trash. I wouldn't mind keeping Reaves and Rui though. Just that I don't think the team is a contender or can drastically improve if you keep all of them. Vando is a keeper for me. Gabe can be traded for the right piece. DVD can be retained for cheap. Plenty of options to deepen the team with Stanley Johnson, Tory Craig, Gary Harris, Lonnie Walker and Markell Fultz etc.

[@hjbranding]

This team only need a few tweaks. Start with a new coach with experience, get a big that can stretch the floor and play above the rim. Find a decent point guard for cheap. Money should go towards a big and defensive off guard

[@Logikal_GreenHouseMuzic]

That lady clearly didn't get the comparison between JJ Reddick and Pat Riley...He meant where they came from being in the media obviously JJ doesn't compare to Pat Riley currently

[@shavaraparker3780]

If Rod is smart, he'll keep DLO trade Reaves. The Lakers just needed to upgrade they starting SG and get a big traditional center !!

[@JM_Hoops]

This is not related to the video but should we have thrown that play in game? Given that it would’ve meant avoiding Denver?

[@carrastealth]

DLO's the only proper fit for the Lakers right now. On a LeBron/AD lead team the way it is and needing to be successful, we need depth and we need a point guard that can is both an efficient high volume three point shooter, scorer with point guard skills that also doesn't destroy our depth to get. Whether people like it or not, DLO is the best fit for our team, and a better Coach would have lead to better success this season. I hope the Lakers retain him and sign him long term and he remains a Laker for the rest of his career. He never should have been gone in the first place.

[@roydelosreyes917]

My ideal lineups: Mitchell, Norman Powell, oubre jr, AD and either JJJ or Sengun Garland, max christie, Paskal, AD, JJJ or Sengun.

[@KIrvin_The_Scholar]

With what salary cap space or assets are we landing any of those players? Maybe a Norman Powell or Oubre but in order for us to go after a guy like Garland, Mitchell, JJJ, it's going to take all of our supporting cast & 3 first, which would leave us with no depth, like when we traded for.Westbrook. Would be nice though

[@blenquing4951]

Trade for Jalen Suggs and Goga Bitadze of Orlando Magic. Suggs is a complete player. Bitadze is a legit center and good defensive player. Lakers doesn't need another star player. They need to add to their team Valanciunas, Robert Williams III, Goga Bitadze and McGee or Zach Edey. Always have 2 centers on the play, Get at least 2 athletic big defensive players from the free agency. Like the Denver Nuggets and the Timberwolves, they don't really have a legit shooter, but with 3 or 4 center, Lakers can even overpower them and most of the teams.

[@andm9766]

Really like DLo. I think him and reeves don’t work together though. In season tourney team was great because reeves and Rui came off the bench. Russell may be even better than reeves off the bench since he doesn’t play defense as well and can be a high volume scorer in limited minutes

[@drewcutie]

The right coach will play reaves on the bench

[@bggines_1260]

Sam Cassel is the man!

[@andreperry7995]

U know man Cavs and the Bulls dont want to trade with the Lakers man. Next video

[@jadenng7569]

I hate DLo’s streakiness and lack of defence, but I actually think they should keep him, even if only to raise his trade value.

[@roydelosreyes917]

LBJ, suggs, monk, skylar, shaq Harrison, huff, J Hernangomez, vonleh, tj Warren, montrezl, woods, G Harris, luka samanic

[@KeithCopeland778]

Both Dallas and Minnesota prove that size, depth and defense are vital to have any playoff success!!!! Are you listening, Lakers?????? Redick sounds great as a TV analyst and podcaster, BUT HE HAS ZERO COACHING EXPERIENCE!!!! The front office must be brain-dead by seriously considering him!!! I'm not wild about the other top candidates either! Pelinka's job should be on the clock!

[@johnminx2133]

The Lakers have a long ways before they can become contenders instead of being a Pretender!😢 the Lakers need bigs that can Produce!!!

[@Kota_almighty]

I don’t think Dlo to Orlando is smart at all on they behalf they already have wayyyyy to many guards to try and develop. They future backcourt should be a mix between either Cole Anthony, Jalen Suggs, Markell fultz, or Anthony black Dlo fits nowhere in that picture nor timeline.

[@olafakiemboto2375]

You can be champion whit 2 player.whit 6 and 7 good players

[@I.am_Groot]

I think JJ could make a solid coach. One day. I think when a guy like LeBron James needs a coach and a recently retired buddy and James Borrego are top names on the list we need to re-evaluate 'Bron possible GOAT ranking

[@asunthegreat5893]

Sam Cassel is a great aspect will be next year coach.

[@MKIVD]

Hard to be a Laker fan with ungrateful mfs beside me. I hope DLo signs with the Spurs, Jazz, or another team where he can become the primary/secondary option.

[@jimmyalmasa2691]

i hope they can get klay thompson

[@Fotosynthesis858]

JJ has even less experience as a head coach as Darvin. So I’d say hire him as an ASSISTANT coach at best. Not a HC

just get mark Jackson + Cassell as asst. don't gut the team sign D- lo

[@mmjr23]

Dlo should try to keep him and trade him to other teams if that’s possible. I would be disappointed if he walked away and we get rid of player like Rui and AR for a star with nothing in return

[@timraschke2915]

Please stop with the JJ Reddick Pat Riley comparison. First of all, Pat was a former Lakers player on a quality team. Also, he was a Lakers assistant coach before going into broadcasting. Huge Difference! Secondly, please show me where the Lakers were infatuated with JJ prior in the past. Or is this so more media manipulation. If JJ was so good, why wasn't he hired instead of Darvin Ham or hired for the Hornets head coach position?

[@Crawfish411-Vlog]

0 pts. Game 3 @ home

[@adryangray8393]

The Lakers should trade D'Angelo Russell to the Pelicans for C.J McCollum trade Cam Reddish, Rui Hachimura, Jaxson Hayes, Christian Wood, to the Nets for Cam Thomas, Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Keita Bates-Diop, Trade Taurean Prince, Colin Castleton, to the Celtics for Xavier Tillman, Neemias Queta, keep Gabe Vincent & Spencer Dinwiddie trade Austin Reaves to the Raptors for Bruce Brown Jr.........

[@miitheweirdartist6794]

People thinking they knows LBJ...mind...it's crazy

[@KIrvin_The_Scholar]

Could we sign & trade D-Lo to Orlando & at least get some assets back ? Gary Harris, Isaac...they got some guys over there I wouldn't mind

[@JSM24]

Orlando has no reason to do that since they are not over the salary cap. And receiving players through a sign and trade hard-caps you, which the Lakers likely don’t want to be.

[@KIrvin_The_Scholar]

@@JSM24 damn. I was hoping they might want to shed some of their salary & get a second rounder or 2 rather than us just lose D-Lo for nothing if he decides not to reup with us.

[@shawdeyf3100]

I say keep Dlo he might look different under a next head coach🤷🏾‍♀️

[@officialrellkah5693]

Fire Rob and hire Bob

LBJ will be the 6th man for the next 2 seasons with 28-30min playing time.

[@Migs-th4ul]

Can I get a shout out

[@Eastra3]

Borrego did take the Hornets to the playoffs twice, or one playoff, one play in. It’s because Lamelo couldn’t stay healthy and because Miles Bridges was suspended for a whole year. Hornets weren’t in the playoffs 4 years out of his 5 seasons coaching them, because their two best young players have been unavailable.

[@Migs-th4ul]

Hello I’m a very big lakers fan I want to Donavan michel
