And they paid him the max to do it. If he's allowed to coast on defense and not play half the game, then why don't they do some coasting on his contract and not pay half his salary, and give it to a couple of role players that could really help them? If he cared about winning, he would have taken less money per year looooong before now, like Tim Duncan used to do.

Other than that everyone else is still on the team from 2022 from the core 8. Plus you added Dalton who is an upgrade at least over Walker. How much do you expect as far as trades when you traded the farm multiple times. They traded a ton to get Westbrook and Davis. They had Andre Drummond but only tried him for a year. Got rid of Boogie, Howard, McGee and chose to Not build around AD when the winning formula was already there. We're not gonna mention all the trades since LeBron has been there. He chose the coach his son and set the entire roster up. It is what it is. He can't spin his way out of this one. They can either grind it out as at team or fold.

He was blamed for everything in the 2022 season which was the point I was making. So no you are the one who is getting the timeline wrong. The Lakers wanted him to stay that's why he was offered a contract. Obviously that wasn't the case in 2022 when he was the German Westbrook being blamed for losses sometimes he was blamed for games he didn't even play in and he wasn't offered anything in the off season and just like everyone else after they left LeBron James or the Lakers Dennis morphed back to a borderline All star

LeBron is the biggest problem with the team. He will not take a lesser role on the team because he wants his numbers. He doesn't care about winning, he's accepted he can't catch Jordan in that sense.

No one would begrudge Lebron playing 10-15 minutes a game with effort and some occasional great play but he's been needing to do that for 3 season now, at least. But he's a horrifically insecure narcissist who should never EVER be mentioned even in the top 10 again.

Capping for JJ is not the move. LeBalco using his staffing firm again or I mean Klutch sports to pluck another player from Nola. Only Klutch players want to play with him. The other prime and younger players have no desire to play with Lebron. Rob can’t negotiate with agents and players bc they are cool on Lebron. Lol once he leaves LA will become desire again.

[@Knightmare0259]

The expectations people have for Lebron teams is the problem. This is a mid-tier roster in a stacked conference. The only reason people believe the Lakers are serious contenders is because of Lebron's popularity and his constant media coverage.

Hold up the Lakers got A Podcaster as an Head Coach with no Coaching Experience at all and he is EXPOSE getting slap around he should be fired by now The Lakers is a Clown show what happen to the Lakers Organization from 1991 to 2017 that was winning championship Miss the Phil Jackson years

[@geekymetalhead5112]

The Lakers are the Dallas cowboys of the NBA 😂

[@CoolArrowCat]

Phil Jackson was THE MAN!!! they need a coach that level or similar to at least start to turn things around before it gets to last years pistons level of disappointment, and from the looks of it we're pretty damn close already!

[@timhall5382]

"I'm a Laker fan". HA! No sir, no you are not. That's a Celtics jersey. Disgusting.

[@Luffymynika11]

I’m confused about what y’all expect? They basically have the same squad with a rookie coach, so duh they’re gonna perform the same way they did last year. 😂

[@exiustransportation7729]

Is Lebrons’s team impact at 40 better or worse than Jordan at 40? Keep in mind Jordan had knee issues and had only been back in the league the year prior after taking a couple years off, which is as big as a handicap to his game than LeBron having to a lot of games on his body. Jordan’s second best player was Jerry Stackhouse, while LeBron has AD.

[@strivingforthekingdoment.2303]

Someone's king has an/off per 100 possessions of -16..

[@psychedelicvault6951]

Lebum has the 7th worst finals plus minus ever: Minus 86. Michael Jordan career finals plus minus: Plus 45. Kobe Bryant's career finals plus minus: Plus 36. MJ times shooting at least 80% or higher from the free throw line regular and post season combined: 26 times in 13 years. Lebum shot 80% or better from the free throw line ONCE in the regular season and postseason combined in 21 YEARS. 🤢🤢🤢😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣 Even at 40 years old Jordan shot at least 80% from the free throw line but Lebum is supposed to be so skilled as a player though. 😂😂😂

[@shaun5497]

Yo! Lebron put hamm in the position to be over looked. I’m not believing anything those players say about hamm you are wrong

[@Justaveli]

Idk why ppl keep talking about them and being surprised the roster isn’t good and Lebron is 40 the best thing about this team is jj reddick and AD and that’s it oh and dalton knect when you gotta rely on a 40 year old to be the best player on some nights and the second best player most nights it means the team is Hot boo boo

[@mastermace7770]

Father time has caught up with LBJ and its showing. JJ and the rest of the media are trying their best to make Lebron look good and its ugly. Charles was right about Lebron, he had the best players on his team and he still complaining about needing help, also, the sports media is saying Lebron needs help is ridiculous, he has the best players on his team and most of them are on the 75 greatest anniversary players in NBA history! 😂

[@Billabongbabalog]

15:16 Yea, these dudes are braindead. Look at that roster. Breh. Best player is in his 30s and has glass bones. 2nd best player is *FORTY* ! 3rd best player is A *ROOKIE* ! Also, idk how or why people forget how important this is, THEY ARE TINY! LIGHT IN THE AHHH! They aren't even close to a playoff. Don't even bring up a chip.

"a bounceback game against miami" with -20 +/- despite efficient shooting. You acknowledge he's a statpadder, so don't claim the problem is everyone except LeDictator. Dont worry though, now that Brandon Ingram is with Klutch, he'll come back to the Lakers for pennies.

Honestly, as much blame as an Owner like Jerry Jones gets, Buss needs to take a lot of blame here. Her front office is TERRIBLE and it's been terrible for years. Like they say, you either coach it or you're letting it happen. LeBron's worst decision was to join the dumpster fire Lakers

If JJ Reddick’s schemes & sets are so much better than Darvin Ham, how come the offensive numbers are worst this year compared to last year?

[@KwizMatix]

Didn’t Ham take the Lakers to the Western Conference finals??? 🤔 This is an L take LOW. There’s literally NO evidence that RedHick is better than anyone at coaching. What a LOW Light!

[@jamiedoyle449]

The Lakers looked good playing bad teams to start the season. They can’t currently compete against contenders.

[@Corazonbravado]

I sure hope Bronnie heals up from his injury soon. Lakers need his scoring and defensive prowess.

[@jimmyhyun8546]

They need to call Bronny back up from G League. He's the ultimate glue guy and defensive stopper.

[@StancedHellcat]

A chip is a chip but the bubble championship is looking more and more questionable with each year that passes, pelinka and Jenie gave LeBron way too much pull in the teams big decisions, reddick is a much better coach than ham yes (a very low bar btw) but he still needs more experience, they wasted a draft pick on a player who was no where near nba ready to please him in an era where more and more nba ready players are being found in the second round, the countless trades that LeBron undoubtedly pushed for and to top it all off they nearly maxed a player pushing 40. LeBron is an amazing player and will always be remembered as such but that does not translate into managerial experience(Jordan being a prime example), he is not going to be as knowledgeable as people who’ve been putting together teams and basketball schemes their whole life. The only way the lakers could truly recover is if they trade him or at the very least shut him out of front office decisions

[@guts5398]

sipping laker tears tonight

[@rebeccajohnson4156]

No I think Darvin ham needs an apology people are being biased towards him. Plus jj is a fan favorite so no matter the record the lakers have people will make excuses for him and the same excuses they make for him they use to to bash ham roster has nothing to do with it ham took this team to the Confernce finals and the only reason they can’t get further in the playoffs is because the lakers can’t beat the nuggets that has nothing to do with ham. Jokic is the best player in the world and LeBron has been past his prime for 5 years. Leave Darvin ham alone.

[@1of196]

this is spot on LOW

Yea but Darvin wasn’t losing to the Miami heat by 41 points.

[@otisyoungblood]

DH is a better coach period

[@fairgamewithtjorum]

Only push back I’ll give is Jokic or Embiid isn’t asked to the things defensive that AD has to! They can focus on dominating offensively then they’ll get their praises. If AD doesn’t be superhuman every game then he’ll catch strays from every direction. Meaning I wish Rob Pelinka would bring in some help so AD can be fresher in the 4th like a Jokic. Overall though great breakdown LOW 🔥

[@emmanuelabalihi5747]
