Just start giving Hayes more minutes at C I don’t know why most fans are over reacting. He runs the floor, protects the rim, and is a decent ft shooter for a big. Give him consistent minutes let him play through/learn from mistakes and he will grow as a player. Not everything calls for a trade or firing smh
First Vando and now C Wood smh you had 2 guys who you knew probably wouldn’t be ready for the season and you still make no offseason moves. All i can do is laugh at this point 😅😅😅😅
Sexton/Kessler for Lo/Hayes ... give up some draft capital - Davis needs some damn help, he has for years. Disrespectful & negligent. AD doesn't get any love. 😔😔😔 Edit: or Wendell Carter Jr
Go all in with Sexton/Kassler and Cam Johnson from the Nets. We'd probably use our remaining available picks but all 3 are under contract for this season and next and we'll have a variety of line ups we could use if we added these 3 compared to what we have now.
Vando has been injured for a year. He got injured before the season. Came back for what 2 weeks and got hurt again. And now with the season beginning he's hurt still. 1 whole year.
Nba especially lakers seem soft. Seward I'll read so so football player get knee scoped and 4-6 ,weeks playing f***ing football. What's up with that. All the time, they get hurt during season back the next year by summer practice
There is zero percent chance this front office builds another title contender. OKC, Dallas, Boston, Minnesota Sacramento Maybe Denver are too far ahead. Trading LeBron and AD is the only sensible move. If LeBron and AD want to stay that's on them but this groups title hopes are RIP
The one I feel bad for is JJ, He's got his work cut out for him. If he can even get this team as it stands now to a play-in game it would be a miracle!
The Lakers already lacked depth. I guess they are expecting to play bron and AD 48 minutes. Playing Hayes would be like having 4 against 6. And who backs up Rui...Lakers are an injury to AD or Bron away from a lottery team.
This off season with laker nation been tiring. The constant crying n complaining, Is overwhelming. This is like listening to my woman complaining about what I’m not doing. 😭
The one bright spot in all this is, since we’ve been here before, they should be more mentally prepared for it and come out with the right amount of urgency needed to get us through this first hump.
I hope Cam Reddish shuts all the idiots up. Everyone takes shots at him when he's only played a few games. But praise JHS and Dalton Knecht as if they are proven. Smh! Goofy.
He’s the reason why they haven’t won another championship! Ever since he’s taken over that starting center position and runs off the court injured every time he faces a tough center! AD gets himself injured!
Love Vando Always thought Wood garbage That said I'm more pissed at Vando because he should have known months ago that surgery was required (esp considering I myself said it right here the moment he was injured) So mark my words Wood will return before Vando because he is getting surgery now and Vando will about a month into the season
We have maybe the worst GM in Basketball. If not worst he is easily in bottom 3…. He did absolutely nothing and continues to do nothing. We missed out on SEVERAL key free agents because he could find a way to get rid of a couple of players… In all of the NBA he couldn’t find a deal to get rid or Wood, Reddish, and whoever else… The least he could have done was made room to not miss on these KEY Free agents that signed for Pennies on the dollar with other organizations. Rob Pelinka has to go. We just won’t be a truly great team again under Pelinka. ESPECIALLY WHEN BRON LEAVES/RETIRES! They are winning in spite of Rob because of the talent of Bron and AD. When can you remember the last time you said “Man that roster makes so much sense! Rob is doing his job.”
Take Wood and Vanderbilt off the Lakers and move on. I am tired do of players like him stealing money by hijacking our payroll and roster while providing nothing in return. Lakers wasted the last 4 seasons of late great Kobe career by doing nothing to build around him and they are doing the same with Lebron . They are content on selling regular season tickets and thats it. This team has horrible ownership and management and its no wonder why top players do not really push to play here, Davis damn near played the whoe season at a high level and spent his summer playing in the Olympics and you can get him some quality competent help. I am pissed already and worse I still have to look at a starting backcourt that has Dlo as the lead guard. We are fckd and the season hasnt even started
The issue is centers are going for a premium this season. Even non-starter caliber centers have gotten pretty decent contracts. Also, the lakers dont really want to give up players that other teams would want, such as Austin. Dlo doesn't have a market, so including him as the biggest trade piece will probably force the lakers to give 1 even 2 first round picks just for a backup center? Like the Jazz arent just going to hand Kessler over( he has a really team friendly contract) for a salary filler player and a 2nd rounder 😂
Wood had some good games. I'm bummed hes out... Still Bron cant be our 2nd best defender on the Lakers (which has been the case for feels like 3 years) At this point Castleton or Jaxson just gotta put on like 20lbs of muscle in 8 weeks, is our only hope
Got to do what the Doc says. Hopefully he has a quick recovery and comes back strong like we all want him too. I still got faith. Laker's just hired a new head of sports health or some Sh** like that too.
Kobe hated Shaq for pulling these silly "company time" surgery games. Both Vando & Wood ruining the team because they want a hot boy summer is disgusting. Seriously, it is.
I will bet money with anyone that Vando and Woods won’t play this season. This will be a replay of last season. Same guys injured and unavailable Why are we holding on to the draft picks and depth if we can’t win with or unavailable to play Makes no sense DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO ROB AND MAKE A TRADE NOW!!!!!
Jaxson Hayes HAS to pick up the slack. Major no for Dwight Howard!!! Not because of his play (he’s still good). The off court/locker room shenanigans is the problem. Keep in mind Anthony Davis legitimately has beef with Dwight Howard.
im not trying to get killed but the expectations are too much!! all we need is a winning season from coach Reddick to get things going. another Chip would be nice this decade but wow.. people should calm down a bit
You have to be getting paid well to be a representative or advocate for the Lakers. This is ridiculous and pathetic! Just embarrassing how this team has been put together and then having to sell this roster to the fans! These players are not championship level besides Lebron and AD!
Since when did a 2nd round pick become two 1st’s? My god! That excuse is soo old…move the pic it’s a 2nd round pick lol. How many teams move 2nd rounders like skittles.
WE NOT THE ONLY TEAM WHO NEEDED PIECES .. nobody cares when Boston trades for a star for chips but everyone wants everything from the lakers for a 8-9th man is comedy ..
Its center by committee....how smart do u have to be to understand this?? They traded away all their competent bigs bcus that wud push bron to be more at 3...hes not young anymore, but wants to maintain that 25ppg avg on the wing....dammit let him play 4, get 10+ boards a game & let the younger & other guys take more of the offense. Hes good for 15-18 pts in his sleep..get the 10+rebs now. His passing will always be good. U cant hide him on the wing defensively anymore. If his game doesnt change, lakers are more doomed than they already are right now, with once again no rebounding.
Call me optimistic but I think regardless we will be at least 10-20% better with JJ as opposed to Darvin. No disrespect but he wasn’t the guy for the job.
The sabotage is in. They didn’t try to improve the roster at all. Luca if you are thinking about going to la I wouldn’t. Look at what they are doing with 2 top 15 players. Not giving them anything.
Cam Reddish was a good defender I don't know what the deal is with you weird Austin Reaves type fans. Cam played good defense on some of the better wings in the league before he got hurt.
@@MonteMizu probably didn’t want to get traded so he made all these predictions on how he was coming back with a ‘vengeance’ ….and once past the action of free agency went by and Good Ol’ Robb Pelinka went back into hibernation and CW felt safe, then his injury complaint resurface. Thanks Rob Pelinka….for nothing.
Honestly. Who was going to trade for him? When anybody could have signed him during the summer. It's not like he's making a ton of money with the Lakers. He announced he was picking up that option about 10 minutes after such decisions could be announced. Hayes, too. Our fans live in a fantasy world where other NBA franchises actually covet the likes of Wood, D-Lo, Hayes or Reddish. All came crawling back because no one else was going to pay them. Wood wouldn't have passed a physical.
TRADE VANDO .. he became a woman’s fashion model now and apparently isn’t hurt cuz he’s walking around looking like my aunty 💔💔 he doesn’t care about coming back anytime soon..
Just start giving Hayes more minutes at C I don’t know why most fans are over reacting. He runs the floor, protects the rim, and is a decent ft shooter for a big.

What do they do now? What they should’ve did a long time ago - GET RID OF ROB PELINKA, THAT’S WHAT!!!!!! Sheeeeesssh!!
Bron signed up for PaDINKA😂😂😂😂😂😂LOL BRO WHAT A JOKE MY GOAT HAS BEEN RECENTLY
Hell yea been saying that
@@NescoDilloflebrons not stupid, he knows who’s who and what’s what. He wants to be a laker, that’s why he re-singed
Impatience is a sign of LOW IQ 🤷
Rob “Plan B” Pelinka has gotta go
Lakers medical staff and GM gotta be in question
Sexton/Kessler for Lo/Hayes ... give up some draft capital - Davis needs some damn help, he has for years. Disrespectful & negligent. AD doesn't get any love. 😔😔😔
Edit: or Wendell Carter Jr
Go all in with Sexton/Kassler and Cam Johnson from the Nets. We'd probably use our remaining available picks but all 3 are under contract for this season and next and we'll have a variety of line ups we could use if we added these 3 compared to what we have now.
Last thing we need is to give up an haul Zach Levine is the idea
The Jazz turned down 2 1sts for Kessler by himself........
AD /Lakers needs a center! Haven’t won a championship since he’s been starting in that position! FACTS
Trade Rob for Bob😅
💯💯💯
Unlike Bob Meyers, Rob is a liar lol
Fire Rob
fire trevor lane.
Trade trevor for Kessler
Vando has been injured for a year. He got injured before the season. Came back for what 2 weeks and got hurt again. And now with the season beginning he's hurt still. 1 whole year.

No lie at this point I’m starting to not even care anymore I got ZERO hope for them coming into this season
Lakers have three centers… AD, Hayes and Castleton… why wouldn’t they be ready to step up for the next 10 weeks?!?
They are all small. They give up 50-80 pounds to true bigs
Stop with this Castleton love affair. He’s not it 🤦🏽♂️
forreal dude is terrible
☹️
Bruh fr so many people say he got potential dude is ass
Moses brown so much better
Brown,Hayes,Castleton or Kelley may be the answer.We need to give them minutes in preseason and see who comes out on top
This roster adds up to be a lottery team...
Put weight on hayes,castleton and kelly. Might help 😏👍
We’re talking about Woods, chill out.
There is zero percent chance this front office builds another title contender. OKC, Dallas, Boston, Minnesota Sacramento Maybe Denver are too far ahead. Trading LeBron and AD is the only sensible move. If LeBron and AD want to stay that's on them but this groups title hopes are RIP
Agreed.
Remember the ten years of mediocrity we had before Lebron joined the lakers. Rebuild isn’t for the lakers
Facts trade AD to OKC and send bron to Miami
@@jonathantroncoso1335 What you talking about before? 🤔😑Aside from that bubblegum chip...trash Lakers have been mediocre with the aging Queen. 🤣
Dumbest take ever.
Were going to FLAT ASS miss the PLAYOFFS this season
Nope
Give Dwight another go at it
If the Lakers were any other franchise, Rob Pelinka would have been gone by now.
Obviously he'd be gone last year
Family is everything with the Lakers so it’s very hard to get rid of him
The one I feel bad for is JJ, He's got his work cut out for him. If he can even get this team as it stands now to a play-in game it would be a miracle!
Lebron and AD alone are good enough to be a play in team
The Lakers already lacked depth. I guess they are expecting to play bron and AD 48 minutes. Playing Hayes would be like having 4 against 6. And who backs up Rui...Lakers are an injury to AD or Bron away from a lottery team.
they got to be scratching their heads giving all of these player option
C Wood playing the long game. He ain't tryna leave LA...his HOME! His contract allows this 😩💀
They should've gotten rid of him while they can. It's 2013 all over again
Nobody else wanted him when he was a free agent he can’t be traded
relax. dude is making minimum wage
The C wood and Vando injuries suck but we just watched AD be literally the best big in the world he needs help but we will be good
lol waste
This off season with laker nation been tiring. The constant crying n complaining, Is overwhelming. This is like listening to my woman complaining about what I’m not doing. 😭
The one bright spot in all this is, since we’ve been here before, they should be more mentally prepared for it and come out with the right amount of urgency needed to get us through this first hump.
I hope Cam Reddish shuts all the idiots up. Everyone takes shots at him when he's only played a few games. But praise JHS and Dalton Knecht as if they are proven. Smh! Goofy.
Rob and Jeanie are 🗑️ 🚮
@Trevor on your excel depth chart worksheet, why didnt you put kylor kelly as a back up?
If I'm AD I would force the lakers to trade him before the lakers get him injured.
He’s the reason why they haven’t won another championship! Ever since he’s taken over that starting center position and runs off the court injured every time he faces a tough center! AD gets himself injured!
Love Vando
Always thought Wood garbage
That said I'm more pissed at Vando because he should have known months ago that surgery was required (esp considering I myself said it right here the moment he was injured)
So mark my words
Wood will return before Vando because he is getting surgery now and Vando will about a month into the season
Omg! Already caos!! What is wrong with my fav. team😔

Only 2 seasons 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. After this he has done nothing but butcher the team.
Don't worry we have depth guys thankyou Rob !!
😂😂😂 No, no we don't. We literally have one Center, who would rather be a Power Forward.
@@Seth33Angell it's a joke 😁
All these players you wanted and didn't want get Kyrie Irving

3rd Center after AD and Hayes...don't panic! There are few bigs in the lineup to call on if any more go down
Jeannie Buss is too weak to fire Rob Palinka.
Why aren’t people considering the fact that he may have gotten hurt at practice
Fans are so ignorant to think players can’t get hurt in practice
@@RWor1d 🤡🤡
Season hasn’t started n where already doomed 😞😞😞
that roster depth makes us Lakers fan laugh hard and cry hard at the same time! XD
get rid of JHS Redish Wood Hayes Lewis and get a decent center and foward/wing
The Detroit Pistons are a better run organization than the Los Angeles Lakers. The late Jerry West said it's a sht show in Lakers land .
Knecht need to start at SF until vando comes back rui need to try to win 6th of the year as leBron back up
Dwight Howard and mcgee
Once again
Howard's last stint was NOT bad
His PERs were very good
Vogel just refused to play him!
But I'm not suggesting he would be worth a damn now
I know Rob sabotaging the Lakers team with no moves. It’s unbelievable.
What is the game plan for this team what is happening are we getting anymore to help this team or what I'm super frustrated with this team
Give Castleton some practice time with the Lakers. See how he fits in. He can put on some weight if needed.
With Cwood and Vando out, Traore might get his minutes, which is not a bad idea 10-15mpg
Kobe hated Shaq for pulling these silly "company time" surgery games. Both Vando & Wood ruining the team because they want a hot boy summer is disgusting. Seriously, it is.
Mcgee available right?
I will bet money with anyone that Vando and Woods won’t play this season. This will be a replay of last season. Same guys injured and unavailable
Why are we holding on to the draft picks and depth if we can’t win with or unavailable to play
Makes no sense
DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO ROB AND MAKE A TRADE NOW!!!!!
Lakers need a better training staff. All these injured Lakers raises concern. Christian is Glass not Wood.
Jaxson Hayes HAS to pick up the slack. Major no for Dwight Howard!!! Not because of his play (he’s still good). The off court/locker room shenanigans is the problem. Keep in mind Anthony Davis legitimately has beef with Dwight Howard.

I was forcing myself to be positive because we at least had a healthy roster…
its always something with the lakers
WE NOT THE ONLY TEAM WHO NEEDED PIECES .. nobody cares when Boston trades for a star for chips but everyone wants everything from the lakers for a 8-9th man is comedy ..
Thank you and TOTALLY TRUE
To forget is to forgive
I feel like reddish had good moments when he was healthy
Don’t worry Lakersnation. LeGM has it all under control. I mean they drafted Bronny. We’re good
i prefer Reath or O.Sarr for castleton a good help for AD.
Our solution is in house. His name is Kylor Kelly. 7ft1 shotblocking beast.
But no one wants to talk about that tho
We need to makes some trades for some centers sexton Kessler would be great and dfs or lavine maybe
Heck they could've even brought back McGee
Ban the chalk toss!
This roster has NINE guards!
The Front Office… 😡
Beef Stew is a great target
This the exact reason they should've kicked the tire FOR DWIGHT
Its center by committee....how smart do u have to be to understand this??

Why did they wait to have this surgery now? Why couldn't they have it right after the season ended?
Farewell retirement tour
Just play Castleton and Hinson. You’re gonna have to anyway.

Excellent job Lakers
TRADE aUSTIN TEEVES
Plz do he's a bum
Lakers take care you got this 😘😔
Get Demarcus Cousins to the training camp
Lavine for Rui, D'Lo, and Vando?
What about Dwight
Why are we hoarding 1st rd picks. Get Kessler, he'd be a laker for the next 10 years
Cam Reddish was a good defender I don't know what the deal is with you weird Austin Reaves type fans. Cam played good defense on some of the better wings in the league before he got hurt.
Both are 👎🏾
Yea two guys on the lakers team make 40 million each ..wondor why they can't get deep in the playoffs..
its rui move to power forward. and knecht move to small forward and start
