LAL need a center, shooters, and roster/game management. They aren't that far away if they stay healthy and Reddick makes some tweaks with minutes and style of play.

[@justthisguy1948]

They are extremely far away

[@elrealamericanhero]

you have to be a a false cope troll. every real laker fan understands that the west is going to be even stronger this coming season and that we didn’t improve nearly enough to keep up. couple that with the fact that our new zero experience head coach and we seem primed for another disappointing year if not a disaster.

[@kamaka07]

@@elrealamericanhero and you have to be someone that doesn't know shit about athletic competition and lives thru media. You probably wanted Ham to stay and are still crying over Caruso being gone. They lost to a Den team that's the worst matchup for them and did nothing to fix it. That's on Pelinka. I don't give a damn about the west, that team would've beaten everyone else last year by evidence of Dallas getting to the finals, but of course you had them getting there from jump right? People like you that come in heat calling names, acting like you know everything don't know jack. Do they have issues? Yes. Are they correctable? Absolutely, and that's what the key will be. I easily spelled that out and you still took showed your ass. Reddick may/may not be the answer but ham sure as hell wasn't. But I'll tell you thing, he systematically outlined what ham didn't do in 2 yrs in 45minutes and that's enough for me for now. The difference between 8 seed and 6 were the games Ham tricked off. Is the west tough? Yes, will it be easy, absolutely not. They have 2 all NBA players and enough support to contend and get in the dance, that's all I said. Considering they've lost half of the pose season games the last 2 yrs at the buzzer it suggests I'm closer to being right then wrong here but you're the effing genius here, roll with it then and piss off.

[@crusader918]

Quigley gets 5 yrs, 175 million from Toronto. He averages 17 pts per game with no ECF or all-star appearances. Dlo averages 18 pts per game and gets 18 million and is an all-star. IMO, Dlo is getting REALLY disrespected.

[@SandcastleGirl]

Facts! Extremely disrespected for sure. He's our best offensive shoot and a great player. Without him, we don't make the play-in, let alone the playoffs. I truly hope he gets the last laugh as this fanbase is horrible smh

Injury prone, inconsistent AD needs to take a pay cut. If i were the GM, i would pay AD minimum wage, 16 bucks an hour. Then i would pay Lebron 10 million a year. I would trade everyone else and get 3 superstars and pay them 20 million each. Then i would bring in 2001 Shaq and pay him 15 million. Then we would win 10 titles in a row and i would be crowned the greatest GM in history!!!💯👑😎

[@chrisfrosaker5130]
