Being the Lakers, you're expected to have a winning season each year. Why can some franchises go continuously without a title? Nobody tells them anything.

[@Tripledubsports]

The blame goes completely on the lakers management. You can’t put together a roster that was clearly not going to work even before the season started and expect to win. They fucked up when they didn’t keep all or most of the same guys that they won the championship. Guys like Caruso, Kuzma, javale, rondo, green, and even kcp were all the reasons they won that championship.

Lebron sacrificed the Lakers Future for a bubble title got rid of all the young players kuzma/hart/ Ingram/ lonzo/ pope/ Harrell / didn’t pay 💰 Caruso a fan favorite.!! And gave away all the draft picks till 07 .!! Lakers management let him do it for his big/3 AD/Westbrook/ Lebron how did that work out this season. Lebron you have another record you are on the worst Laker team in history.!! 33/49.!!

Stay of those drugs

[@danielmartinez9141]

If that lineup of Lonzo, Ingram, etc we're so good, why didn't they avg more than likely 10 points a game? That's why they were traded.And of course, LeBron is blamed. Players put all the pressure on the one man show. You don't think that lineup wasn't money hungry either? The Lakers were up to their necks in having to pay these players.

[@danielmartinez9141]

There are other teams for you to go pick. You probably a seasonal winning favorite.

LeBron Blames: Coach-killer Paul Silas. Mike Brown. David Blatt. Luke Walton. Frank Vogel. Who is the next sucker and LeBron's next fall guy?

[@chickhearn4ever779]

He always has this excuse from his fans that if he were to have a great hall of fame coach, he could have won more than he did. The guy can not spawn a hall of fame coach. He is who he is.

Lol I guess if they not doing anything to contribute to a chip, put them on foot patrol. I do like how you conveniently forgot Coach Spo and Coach Lue. Last I check, they thriving!

[@knephsabir3245]

The real question is are they gonna let the next head coach build his roster and not coach that no chemistry team thrown together.

[@caipirinha_king1632]

This is what you get when you allow the players to have a management’s voice. You’ll never get the players eat or respect when you’re allowing them to have a voice in who they want to play with, pad their stats, then undercut the coach.

[@eddielim3909]

Hard for any coaches to lead a bunch of self serving super stars who are too old and precious to grind it out against tough opponents. You can see in a lot of games, they simply gave up so coach had to plug-in other guys on the fly to salvage the game.

[@BigBlackClark]

As a Lakers fan I 100% agree wit Richard

rob pelinka needs to be held accountable from the magic situation to this

[@tainanking]

The nba is considered kind. In sports such as club soccer, they are even willing to fire coaches who are legends and I mean legends on the field and in coaching mid season.
