LA has only one problem. One. The problem is 6.9 tall and weighs 250lb. A problem that doesn't play defense, a problem that constantly complains to referees, a problem that is bad in attack, a problem that is never at fault. And so for the last 5-6 years. LA has a problem that everyone sees as a problem, except LA fans. Once LA gets rid of that problem, things will get better for LA. Much better.
Lakers needed to rebuild a couple years ago!!! But the football player on that team that cries after a fingertouch is gonna play for another 5 years on his high level 😂😂😂. Stats building without team chemistry!!
Now that Westbrook and Dlo no longer on team its next on list and its RUI and AR negative 15. It's never Bron and AD fault season after season. Time to blow this crap up. Bron and AD will never win a chip.
@ I will take that over this false hope Bron and AD selling you. Doing same thing and expecting different result. Cant put this meal on HAM, Vogel, Westbrook, Dlo, the waterboy, etc.
LeBron’s effort on defense is the main problem. LeBron rests a lot on defense and this leads to the Lakers constantly playing 4.5 players versus 5 players on defense. This is compounded by the fact the Lakers already have no good defenders besides AD.
@@SgtHawk92 you can get away with playing 4.5 on 5 on defense, if you have 4 plus defenders to team with your offensive star. The James Harden Rockets did it. It is not a recipe for championships, but you can win regular season games like that.
@ It’s possible but the Rockets Offense was much the better than lakers. Also, the rockets were designed around James Harden. 3s and Defense guys across the board. The lakers feel haphazardly put together.
@@dcc70 he aint rockets harden brah. harden does alot during offense its ok if he rests on defense. bron aint doing much on offence he just hold the ball for 20 second and either shoots it or pass it to get assist
Man you know all your viewers appreciate what you are doing a lot, regardless if its Nuggets fans, Mavs fans, etc. fans of basketball in general. These Lakers as they are now, these Lebron era lakers do not deserve you. You deserve the old school legendary Lakers, the Magic, Kareem, Kobe, Shaq Lakers. So Lebron fans will hate me for this but I wish him to retire asap and then maybe this team if JJ reddit improves as a coach or gets replaced by a more experienced coach, can start building something new, around fresh new players with maybe AD as the veteran.
(1) Very enlightening and sound assessment, even more so for a guy like me that loves but doesn't play the game. Thank you! (2) Now, the huge elephant in the room in my opinion still is LeBron, as whatever questionable prowess he still may perform on offense does not compensate for his very low performance on defense.
Lakers cut Quincy Olivari and Nepo Kid is still on Lakers. Sit LeBron on end of the bench in hope that he will quit or ask for trade and get real coach not podcaster, problem solved
It comes down to this, you can't tear your team up to build around a 40 year old and a glass player like Davis. I'd trade davis and try to gather assets
Hey ZTAY you should apply to be an assistant coach in the NBA your break down of every game is so much more detailed than every other youtuber hands down dead serious
Go Nuggets ty for breaking down the team that keeps your team down well has for the last 3-4 years in the past before the Lakers had our number for like an entire decade so GO Nuggs but honestly ty for your willingness and excitement for the Nuggets games and players even when they beat your Lakers
Rui doesn't deserves to be in this trash team, fan base. when he does something great nobody's gonna talking about it. But when team is losing it’s an all Rui’s fault. He’s just wasting his prime time on this flawed team.
easy fix is make AD main player and remove the old no defender let him retire and itll be 90% better then right now cause they play a 4 man defence whenever old man is on the court
No team chemistry, horrible team defense, bad decision making up and down. Lakers just a big mess top to bottom. Hard to fix with a couple trades, unless you bounce Bron out in the mix, but not likely to happen.
I'm a big Rui guy and I agree with what you're saying. No reason so start him when half the games he gets less than 10 shot attempts. Move him to the second unit bolster up the D with Dfs and hopefully some more shot attempts happen for Rui not too mention he should be guarding a second squad guy and maybe won't get cooked so bad on defense. Thanks for the informative video👏👏👏
Been saying they should trade Rui for awhile. He flashes on offense a lot but he gets abused and exposed on defense so they can’t use his size or athleticism
Yeah, never thought Rui was a good defender. He had that one good game against Jokic in the playoffs. But I think that was only because Rui had a little more lateral quickness than AD. After that he never flashed on defense again. So, who would you trade Rui for, @ztay?
Rui is just not there mentally, hes always just falling asleep on defense just so consistently. Only way i can see him as a contributor on a contender is as a bench scorer but 17 mill for that puhh Edit: i think they starting rui still to show him off, but ye it aint looking pretty
I have been saying trade Rui Hachimura… if the Lakers won any trade that’s worth anything they have to trade Rui. You have to give to get.. nobody’s gonna want Gabe Vincent, JHS, Cameron reddish… you can only pair those pieces with someone like a Rui Hachimura. Now personally I don’t think that there’s a big man who is that amazing on defense that I would overlook Nikola Vucevic. Easy 20-10 player that can spread the floor for AD and Bron. If you can’t find good quality defensive pieces you might as well double down on offense.
You can always become a Nuggets fan

Watching a legend go past their prime is really sad and diminishes their career.
Lakers needed to rebuild a couple years ago!!! But the football player on that team that cries after a fingertouch is gonna play for another 5 years on his high level 😂😂😂. Stats building without team chemistry!!
To be honest the biggest problem is LeBron , you guys need to trade LeBron and Austin Reaves for Zac Lavine who can pair nicely with AD.
Now that Westbrook and Dlo no longer on team its next on list and its RUI and AR negative 15. It's never Bron and AD fault season after season. Time to blow this crap up. Bron and AD will never win a chip.
You see the pattern right 😂😂
Have fun going back to winning 20 games a season like after kobe

We need to do something about austin and lebron with the turnovers

Finney- Smith isn’t elite defensively 🛑 it
easy fix is make AD main player and remove the old no defender let him retire and itll be 90% better then right now cause they play a 4 man defence whenever old man is on the court

LaVine, Vuc, Sexton
