Pelinka. Getting waxed for Kuzma and KCP, who negotiated that trade? Pelinka. Who hired Darvin Ham? Who brought in Frank Vogel bc they wouldn’t let their head coach choose their staff? Who gave Gabe Vincent a 3 year/$33M contract? Who let Alex Caruso walk over chump change? Who gave Max Christie a 4-year contract? Who gave Cam Reddish and Jaxson Hayes 2-year deals with player options? Who’s responsible for all these poorly-negotiated, dog-shit contracts? Who whiffed on the trade deadline last year and was entirely unable to do ANYTHING to upgrade this roster over the summer? Was it LeBron that’s hired a new medical staff every two years-his fault we can’t get or keep our roster healthy? Yall are fascinating with the way you hate on a *player* for mistakes an *organization* makes.

@WatchingLakersBasketball there are options to improve. Walker kessler dirt cheap for example. Teams like Utah, Portland, Brooklyn, and Detroit are teams with solid role player/ starting caliber player options for the right deal. Obviously can't expect to land a star. But if we look for solid improvements in bench / starting lineup that's realistic. Especially addressing needing another big / more bench scoring.

[@-13eNnY-]

Idk. What are the odds of a first-round pick going to be better than 40 year-old LeBron and MVP caliber AD right now? How many years, if not decades, would we have to wait to even answer that question? A lot of first overall picks don't even end up as superstars, and that's assuming those picks will be first overall. If you have a chance to compete now, you shouldn't worry about the future. Future problems are better left for the future. Doesn't mean you trade the picks for nothing but if there's a worthwhile move and you have to throw in every single pick, you do it regardless.

Lakers fans have the foundation of Magic championships and Kobe championships so that keeps us with perspective. Yes we always want to win but we know that you have to lose sometimes in order to build towards dynasties. Lebron fans don’t have perspective. They literally think you only ever focus on current year and the future doesn’t matter. They don’t even care about the past. So there is a completely different perspective between Lebron fans and Lakers fans.

@@jamesjones6315 I don’t deny there is a different perspective between the two, but do argue the current goals are essentially the same. And it’s not all about Lebron, AD is having a career, mvp caliber year, coming off another terrific year last year. They recently went to the WCF, and a championship a couple years before that. The vast majority analysis believes that this team is just a couple pieces away. The different perspectives may disagree on what those pieces are, but not by much, largely just splitting hairs or semantics. But those pieces will require some potential future sacrifice.

However, there is no way to realistically believe that they can acquire the pieces that it would take to win a championship this season. If they try and it fails, they will have sacrificed their future for nothing. I guarantee you that when Lebron is gone all of the people crying for them to mortgage the future will have amnesia then.

@ Lakers fans are not a monolith. You may find some who believe similar to you but I guarantee that there are others who don’t. I wasn’t in favor of going for Lebron. I thought they needed a younger target instead. They went with him and because they won early everyone says they made the right move. However there is no way we know what might have been possible had they found a different target instead. Had they gone a different direction perhaps Tatum would be a Laker right now. That’s just one example. Boston hasn’t won nearly as many championships as the Lakers since the 1980s. However their present and future looks way better right now.

There won't be a ton of pressure on them to make a move since there winning. the Lakers 2 first round picks are very valuable as there far out in future and gonna be post Lebron and perhaps even post AD which means those could be lottery picks.

Lakers need a trade but they're also in a place where they can't afford to make a trade out of desperation. they need to be smart about it. also, can we just appreciate that JJ Redick has turned out to be pretty darn good. he's managed to get the most out of this team even with obvious holes.

[@Cozayyy]

14:01 jj needs to stop making ar the pg snd move dlo to guard, start dlo and ar is the scorer off the bench thats more natural to him than playmaking, ar should be like mcollum while dlo focus on playmaking

[@alexallison6459]

Let me explain something that Palika is reluctant to say. He comes of as fleeing the league with the AD trade bubble championship .

[@blairm.3550]

You don't have to be a LeBron fan to know that the priority should be to maximize the winning opportunity while you have arguably the greatest player of all time on your team at the end of his career while still playing at a high level. Lakers weren't even trying to win when they payed Kobe and hurt their chances to improve the roster. Gotta go all in right now the Lakers will always recover because it LA. Only small market teams should have to worry about hoarding draft picks. Lakers have always became contenders through Free agency and trades anyway

[@jamesjones6315]

Nope, you don’t forfeit the future if the current doesn’t look like a sure enough reality to win. The Lakers aren’t winning this year even with a trade.

[@TheIntellect-q4e]

Gabe Vincent had a moment in the sun at Miami, he was fools gold, Rob Pelinka bit and now we have a player who is currently untradeable unless he is in a package deal! Dlo only value is his expiring contract, Gabe Vincent is negative value. Rob really screwed up, teams don't want any of our players except Austin or Dalton, they know AD or Lebron are off the table! Rob's only options are the FRP's, if Rob can fix this I will stop hoping they replace him with Bob Myers

[@aldawg1696]

The Door is closed for Laker trades right now because its Nov. 15th. Can't make trades for another month anyway. Those two 1st Rd pks will be traded for a big AND another rotation player (Colin Sexton?) or two come trade deadline.

It doesn't matter whether you're a LeBron fan or a Lakers fan. When you see your favorite team not being able too or not wanting to improve when they have a chance to be a contender, you're going to be frustrated.

I think if the Lakers could swing a Sexton and Drew Eubanks trade that would be nice. I know he is a PF and we need a C but he is big enough to take some minutes at the 5 and with more playing time he has looked like a nice player to have coming off the bench. Honestly when watching the Jazz he looks better than Kessler to me.

[@clive7394]

Pelinka needs to go. You can't have a front office no one want to deal with.

[@mistermatsuda]

Some of the audience's trade suggestions are like the ones I recieve in fantasy football. "I'll give you Allan Lazzard and Mark Andrews (when he was putting up zeros) for DK Metcalf". Good for the Lakers but the other team don't want our rubbish. Need to give up at least one 1st rd. pick to get something just "usable".

[@nixonkwanzaatimothy286]

What a joke/excuse for Rob/Jeanie. He could have traded 27/29 + Westbrook expiring for Turner & Hield before 22-23 season or 27/29 + Reaves for Kyrie at 2023 trade deadline, but they moronically passed on both! That also has NOTHIN to do with giving away Zubac, low balling Caruso, low balling DeRozan before Westbrook disaster trade, low balling Ty Lue in 2019 (and I like Vogel more then most), scapegoating horrific 21 summer firing Vogel for Ham, 2023 awful 17/40th picks, giving away Pippen Jr + Huff, overpaying Gabe/Max instead of bringing back Schroder!

[@jasonvegan5761]

Supposed to get a big last season and didn’t happen, not surprised Rob and the Lakers continue to refuse to get another big

[@Marionettetc]

I think any fan of their team wants them to be at the top of the league so I don't think it's weird for fans to want a trade. 6th seed with a positive record is cool and I think the team is overachieving but they can't make it to the finals with the current team. Draft picks statistically don't ever become All Stars or franchise players so I say use the picks to get a center. Once AD can move back to his natural position, so can Lebron and it creates a chain reaction of depth chart upgrades.

[@AnomalyB31]

Gabe Vincent is averaging LESS THAN 1 in every single category this season. How is that even possible?! He’s literally doing nothing. No one wants him or DLO.
