I like to remind people that ESPN had Lakers vs Nets in the Finals and treated teams like the Raptors as a bottom feeder team. Now, Lakers are out of the play in picture and Nets are struggling to maintain a play in spot. Meanwhile, the Raptors are in the playoff bracket after a year absence. Lesson: Star Power doesn't mean anything if you don't have a good system.

ESPN would love the Nets and Lakers to make the Finals because storylines generate more revenue (Bron vs. Kyrie, KD vs. Russ, etc.) But most non-Laker biased NBA fans knew this Lakers team wasn’t gonna work out since Russ can’t play off-ball and AD has had health issues since New Orleans were the Hornets So yeah…the Lakers are a loss away from missing the play-in The Nets might still be scary if they have Ben Simmons play because of his defense

The offense and defense shouldn't be hanging on one guy who has the most minutes in the league. And it's pretty sad people don't see that. How can someone run for 38 minutes, score by driving again and again and then play more defense than a couple of blocks at this age? I'm 33 and I know how the body ages and takes a while to recover.

Then they decided upon Russ because it’s his hometown, he was already wanting to come there, and he wanted to hand the Wizards team over to Bradley Beal. LeBron said himself: “I don’t push the buttons. I make suggestions and it’s up to them to decide upon it or not.” Y’all are the ones who keep spreading this “LeGM” narrative that isn’t even true.

WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS FOR LAKERS •LeBron handles the ball 90% of the time on every team hes on. everybody knows this. its his patented "LeBron System" •LeBron Rank# 1 all time Most Turnovers Regular Season •LeBron Rank# 1 all time Most Turnovers Playoffs so....you got the guy *WITH THE WORST HANDLES IN HISTORY* handling the ball 90% of the time. thats just great. brilliant then LeBron, because he has "high basketball IQ" brings in Westbrook •Westbrook Rank# 2 all time Most Turnovers Regular Season •Westbrook Rank# 2 all time Most Turnovers Playoffs and people cant figure out why Lakers lose so many close games in 4th quarter? LeBrons been playing like a chump his whole career yet ONCE AGAIN no mention how turnover prone LeBron is why? because if people would find out just how stupidly LeBron has been playing his whole career, it would completely destroy thier fake narrative that LeBron has "high basketball IQ" *he doesnt*

So you are saying you didn't watch the first two months of the lakers games? Because Westbrook had the ball in his hands most of the time and starting losing games for us singlehandedly, by having turnovers and airballs in crucial moments of the game. They had to take the ball out of his hands and make LeBron the primary and then the only ballhandler. Go back and watch how the gameplan changed week after week based on how Russell was playing. Sure, he is not an SG by any means, they had to ask him to be the second PG coming off the bench right away. But he doesn't come off the bench.

Magic talked about accountability, and that's huge. Every off-season we hear the same thing. They want the ball out of Lebrons hands more, Davis has been working on his body and is ready to embrace to role of playing Center, Lebron likes playing with vets. Here's what I think needs to change. Forget about Lebron being a second option. As long as he's a Laker he's going to be the guy. he doesn't have to lead the team in scoring but he's got to be the primary ball handler/decision maker. If Davis isn't healthy next season he's got to be traded. You can't worry about the player he'll possibly become, you have to better yourself when you can. Swap out some of those vet players for young guys who are willing to play defense. As far as Westbrook, if you can trade him do it. If you can't then let him enjoy next season, because it'll be the last where he's making max money and pray you get a free agent in 2023.
