LeBron is literally trying to take a 20 some million dollar paycut and yet Rob still couldn’t get the job done (nothing new) hasn’t been able to sign a decent big man or an above average 3 point shooter in years. But that’s what happens when you don’t earn your spot at the top rather than just being handed the position because of who you are/know. They’ve wasted Lebron’s final years. & if it wasn’t for AD and lebron the lakers would still be trying to win their first ring since 2010. Why you think Magic left? Someone who’s been with the organization 40+ years?

[@LGHardin2]

& the lakers has never been big on developing anyone they’ve ever drafted so trading their future pics is nothing new for them lol. They’ve either fumbled their pic or ended up trading them every single time. They didn’t even draft Kobe and he’s the closest thing in the past 25 years that you could even say the lakers invested in from day 1 (& you can thank Jerry West for that)

[@Kev3981]

They aren’t a top 5 duo in the league. Do you watch basketball ? Dudes struggle to get the 8 seed every year lol. They offered Klay 20 million a year, and were going to give up D’Angelo to the Warriors, but no one wants their players. The only player teams may want is Reaves. The Lakers won a Bubble championship, thats the only way they could win 😂. And Magic didn’t “leave” the organization. He was president of basketball operations for 2 years and stepped down, he is still around. They already traded alot of assets, and resigned bad players to contracts that are overpaid. Unless they are trying to kill the future of their franchise they can’t make any moves because the only thing they can trade away is future picks, which doesn’t make sense because AD can’t carry a team and Lebron maybe has a year or two left, and his impact on the game isn’t the same.

Nobody wants to play with Lechoke, 🤣🤡 #facts

[@StReEtWaLkeRpNoY]

Media knows Rob is calling the shots but outside the Media, it's LeBron's bandwagon and he won't stop riding it until he leaves LA or retires. Klutch Sports are the big winners in LA.

[@kerokero3082]

Really don't know LBJ sticking around in LA treading water, maybe all the years in the post season has made him prioritise family and home more

[@Gbpackers911]

Ill take it a step further. If they don't add anything they will be worse than last year which means 8th seed at best😂😂

[@domp8172]

Is Rob playin g LBJ trying to get him to sign a discount without any moves as he knows it handcuffs the Lakers being in the 2nd apron, which severely limits Lebron's chances at his last chip. Risky move, can see this going sour.

[@rari1055]

How r they the same team? They got dalton and bronny? They winnin the chip.

No coach has gotten another ring after they departed with LeBron tho so….

[@willydynamite9806]

​@@drejackson5Heat have been to 2 finals, but you're right.

[@BurnerBurn-qx3uy]

​@drejackson5 what have james won without de most help than anybody else. Winning should've been way better than 3-21 and de Disneyland bubble gum has a asterisk on it. So you see it'snot james that wins de ship. Could've won more if he could play in a system and you see all de coaches that were fired and it's never his fault

[@BostonsF1nest]

That’s why they stopped bothering to even hire a coach anymore. It’s pointless when everyone knows he’ll be fired in 2 seasons anyways lol

[@drejackson5]

@@BurnerBurn-qx3uy lol you’re projecting. 😂 who hasn’t won without “help” and just because you have “help” doesn’t mean you’re always gonna win. Who was the next best player his first 7 seasons with the cavs? Whoever it was wasn’t an all-star. And yeah he’s LeGM. The best player coach there ever was!!!!!

who else do they want on the roster? Seriously, they need more....Crazy!!

[@khantagious]

lakers lack continuity. their roster is actually good they just wind up gutting it 2x/year at the trade deadline and offseason. it doesnt give them a chance to gel. thats why their younger guys shine when they get traded to other teams. possibly the best thing for the lakers is the ability to run it back with more experience.

[@cmn225]

that roster is far from good

[@khantagious]

@@cmn225 if the lakers get back to focusing on size and length like when they had ad+dwight+javele together on the floor or even keeping the pressure on coming off the bench with 3 athletic bigs they'll be fine. that was and still is the recipe for success in this league that shoots the 3 at a high volume but for some reason they decided to change the ingredients.

[@cmn225]

[@randomlines21]

Wrong! Not step up but need to step down, because this franchise is a joke since Pelinka and Leflop joined.

[@gseric4721]

Crazy how inflation is so high nowadays you can have 7 All-Stars take huge pay cuts and still get paid $20 mill a year and make deep playoff runs as a squad, but no one wants to do that. Really is something else. Insane to think about.

[@passingjudgement1194]

ESPN continues to put the lakers on tv because y’all won’t shut up. They don’t care about what you don’t like 😂😂😂😂 i don’t think writing about it in the comments of KZbin will help your cause. Sometimes it’s best to scroll. You didn’t have to click on the video you could’ve said you weren’t interested.

[@gnvtwhp1218]

It's always Rob's fault. Magic sucked and then quit his job, that's Rob's fault. AD wants to play shooting guard but forced to play CENTER, Rob's fault. Lebron's lakers failures, ROB'S FAULT. Lebron trading for westbrook, Rob's fault. 😂😂

[@Dom2.0]

Same team BUT they didnt have like 3 guys for basically the entire season and now have a offensive minded coach

[@gian-lucbrasseur207]

Roster is absolutely trash

[@leetraviusmckay314]

"LeBron going to be five years away for being eligible for his pension" 😂

[@d_83nov78]

Rob is a terrible GM. As an anti laker fan I’m glad he’s in charge. Lakers are a circus organization. Making their fans look like clowns 🤡…….. They go through coaches faster than they go through players. JJ is just the new scapegoat to fire. All those years of competing for last place for top draft picks only to trade them all away for AD. Along with all their picks. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@RickSanchez-jl6jd]

Offer trade for luri maurkanen and trade 5 first round picks for Steff Curry their is title ,eastern opponent will be either Celtics again or sixers ...knicks knocking at the door with bridges signing but still need a center and hopefully randle healthy even though he's trash 🗑️ pacers need a 2 way guard dejoute Murray was perfect and the missed on him west nuggets are crashing but OKC will be 1 or 2 seed especially signing cauruso however need a 4 typically a vet like portis or go after Lopez and put chet at 4 the season will be extremely competitive but warriors are done ....

[@fahdzaa]

Delusional Lakers fans, congratz, u have been tricked by the Front Office once again, the clowns! Enjoy and be happy about it, next time we go again! Sjeez freaking mess they are, the Lakers FO! 😑🤦

[@orcownage]

How about Mike Dunleavy? 😂😂

[@tjones8778]

What about him?

[@cobi2502]

Wow Lebron is saying he will take a paycut to get somebody decent and the GM doesn't do anything about it. The Lakers need a big and could have easily aquire Jonas Valanciunas who signed for only 30 million 3 years to the Wizards. He went to sign for a horrible team. This could have helped their bench by moving Rui Hachmura to the bench to be Lebron's backup and if they get Derozan, this could send Austin Reaves to the bench as well so they do have a decent depth had they done this.

[@garryharden8830]

Nobody wants to play with this LeBron because he's a stat maker at the stage of his career! He could care less about winning a championship because the West is too strong for him to ever beat any team that's young! If he had since, he should've taken his silly behind BACK to Cleveland where the East is very weak and dominate an easier way back to the Finals. His ego wouldn't let him go back!

[@jeffe.3453]

The Lakers tax is real, teams ask more in trades compared to other teams. There is a Pelinka tax as well. A lot of front offices didn't like him when he was an agent and they still hold it against him. Lastly, Pelinka just hasn't been a good executive and GM with his management of the team. I like the move LeBron made with taking a pay cut if Pelinka gets a player that can contribute in the postseason. It holds Pelinka accountable which frankly Rob ducks it all the time.

[@silvergold2140]

And that is the whole problem with the lakers is this title.. this simple Klay Thompson did not want to come to the lakers period.. he got money, and a chance to win another championship!!! Pelinka, Or James could change his mind, I want to win championships. not be a part of the three ring circus clown show...
