    I guess I take the Bad with the Good.

    we’ve all known that LeBron gets WAY ahead of himself just to build a team his way and then prove he can win with them, which……FOR SURE………worked ONCE (Hello Cleveland), so sure…we can talk bad on him. Also, we all knew Pelinka was NOT the choice back in the day, but at least we got the Bubble Chip, which does count so…screw you world. So I guess it’s just funny to ask for heads when we’ve known for 4-5 years all this information and yet we still complain with off-seasons like this.

    it’s warranted, sure…but like, we knew it was likely to happen. LeBron can’t have more than 2-3 years left in him. MAYBE this is his last contract. Even if not, I have to believe LeBron will PUSH to win, with Bronny, just for his peace of mind. So maybe we should STILL believe in this team, on that fact and see what happens over the next 2-3 years. I’m sure LeBron has 1 more Title in him, especially with Bronny.

    again, be mad. Criticize all you want. But also, like…who DIDNT see this coming? Remember when we focused on Kawhi that one summer and got like NOBODY?

    rinse and repeat.

    Kawhi going to the Clippers had to do more with Kawhi wanting to go his own way than not being a Laker at that time. And I bet, if he were to be asked after what’s happened since, he would have come to the Lakers. He would not have had to shoulder the load as much and likely would have won a couple more championships in the process.

    Do it ASAP
    @GeryWoelfel
    Sources claim the Bucks are still very receptive to trading veteran Brook Lopez, but the Bucks' asking price of a first-round draft pick for a 36-year-old center with a $23M contract is too rich.

    I don’t want Brook Lopez, dude was old and slow when he was here last, he averages 5 rebounds per game at his height, I remember how frustrating his game was in that department. Would I sign him with the TPMLE for 5 mil, sure, but no way in hell am I giving up Rui and a first round pick. I wouldn’t even give up DLo, DLo is a much better player at this stage. Anyway here’s this, dayum

    Instead of pounding the boards for rebounds he was floating out to the 3 line to get shots

    We need someone to pound the boards and play defense

    How old is Dennis Rodman????

    i'm sort of mad that i agree with almost every point that the very large bullfrog in that clip made. the only thing i disagree with is that i think he's underestimating what our other injuries + ham did to our record last year. as it stands, i agree that lebron and AD will miss more time, but if we don't have other rotation players miss the entire season, that will counteract that a bit. league average/no-harm coaching, too.

    oh, and i'm not at all interested in lopez. i will repeat for the 30th time, if milwaukee wants to dump him, you don't want him.

    I can say that Curry is going to end with career ending injury .Who knows .They just say anything they want especially about Lakers and they never would be responsible for anything that isn't true.

    he just said based on recent and long-term history, lebron and AD won't play that many games next year. this is a fair gamble. would you agree that it's likely embiid misses 20 games next year?

    i agree with your overarching point that nobody wins fans by saying anything positive about the lakers, though. that's been clear for twenty years, though.

    let them all expect us to finish 12th. maybe we won't get every team's freaking best shot every night if we're viewed as a lotto team.
