I'm not going to lie. This is the first time I've been on this channel. I listen to Trevor all the time. But this is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST discussions I've heard about the Lakers so far this off season. No hyperbole. No over exaggerations. No ten thousand unrealistic trade scenarios. Just common-sense discussion. This was so refreshing.

If the Lakers signed Klay for the money reported over 3 seasons it would’ve been disastrous. Russell Westbrook 2.0. Thankfully, they dodged that bullet. LA will have a healthier team too, with guys who didn’t play last year and they didn’t make any rash trade blunders. They’ve chosen to be patient. That’s success to me.

Idk, call timeouts to stop momentum. Listen to LeBron when he asks for a challenge on a call. Continue to run plays in the 4th quarter, that specifically include AD so he puts up shots in the 4th...and we beat the nuggets...I think changing out ham is opportunity for a massive improvement. It's not guaranteed but ham was the difference in that series imo

Glad to see that you recognize the impact of the Paris trip to the Lakers system. If James plays 60 games the Lakers will be OK. The Pelinka problem is Delo. The Lakers need to move Russell to open up the roster. No teams want Delo. Trev knows, he tried to trade Delo for Murray all last year. Is Delo on the blackball list? Lakers like Reaves and Vincent. They like Knecht and Max and need to play them both to see if they can be part of the future. Max for defense. Knecht for shooting. Utah is not trading Lauri Mark. Not going to happen.

@akaspon12 ай бұрын
To be fair, D-Lo’s defense wasn’t that bad in the Denver series as he was staying in front of his man and did well guarding KCP. Even in the 2 games he scored well they lost. To me the biggest difference was not having healthy defenders in that series where Vando slows down MPJ for example. It cannot always be all on the same narrative people run with if you objectively watch the games. Not saying D-Lonis perfect but even when he played well the Lakers couldn’t keep leads and let the wrong people beat them.

Wow @Lakers GM & Front Office really looks Bad when it comes to Negotiating for Elite Championship Star Caliber Pieces THEY CAN’T GET IT DONE. It’s proven itself time & time again. Star Elite LeBron is there because of Magic. Star Elite AD is there because of Magic & LeBron. There are no Star Elites acquired by Rob & Front Office NOT GOOD!!!! It’s not because of the Franchise / Organization because Jerry Buss did a GREAT job establishing and Building such a great organization. RATHER, it’s those who are running it, those who are in operation of it. That’s the REAL problem not the Franchise / Organization because again Jerry Buss did an Excellent job building the Best Franchise in Basketball and one of the Best Francises in Sports. Kudos to Jerry Buss for that. Unfortunately, those that are currently running it and operating it, haven’t been able to Negotiate and Land Star Elite Championship Caliber Players. Magic Johnson who was raised up and build up by Jerry Buss whom he calls his dad and Jerry Buss considered him as a son was the only one who was able to Land the two Big Fish’s in LeBron & AD. Gotta get the right workable & likable people in office / in place to keep Jerry’s legacy alive and going strong. If not, all his hard work of building and establishing such a great Franchise will just continue to crumble. Jerry, Kobe and Magic are all about Championships as well as all the other @Laker greats, players and fans. These guys could get things done and accomplished. Players wanted to come and they never considered going to any other team. You have LeBron & AD that I know Elite Star guys wanted to play with them and still does now, But the current GM & F.O. just can’t get the job done. They never can. Rob & @Lakers looks to sign basic role players because they’ve been incompetent of signing Elite, Star players and players LeBron & AD deserves and really wants. What a bad look for such a great Franchise built & established by such a great man but is being ran horribly and ineffectively on all levels. Not Good!!! 💜💛
