If Vanderbilt is healthy, just that will make them a better team than last season
That and gabe vincent . Hopefully he can have a season like he did in miami. People forget how to shoot when they are jn the purp and gold 😢
Also they will be a better team if JJ can make good in game decisions, with calling timeouts at right times and can make in game adjustments.
Bro running it back it not a bad idea especially if we get a solid big
You’re banking on vando being healthy 😅😅😅what about lebron and Ad with the Olympics
Gabe was out only play 5 games 😊
We have to keep Vando. It isn't easy with Gabe because he wasn't healthy when he played.
Teams hate us no team wants to make trades with us
as they should. nobodi wants 2 help the crumblin franchise.😂😂😂
@@sebaztionabsolutionwhy are you on a lakers channel though if you hate the lakers? lol I don’t get that
@@Mr.CalCal that's how it works sumtymes scrubby.🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
@@sebaztionabsolutionholy glaze
@@ComicEdits313 u one of them bronsexuals arent ya?😄😄😄
We need a tyus jones , Gary Trent jr or somebody & a center too . Reddish & Hayes need to go .
Trade first but it won’t happen 😂
Hayes and Reddish can hoop! They might as well run it back with a healthier squad
dont need Tyus or somebody Gary Trent JR and a Center is needed though
@@BlessedBrodie Doesnt matter if they can hoop they are decent players but on a thrash team they wont help a mid team like the lakers trying to compete they need players around what the team needs a defensive guard that can shoot efficiently from 3 and a Center to help matchup against other big centers so it takes load off AD and he can perform consistently offensively as well because AD needs to be the #1 option now.
first 25 games with Reddish Starting… Lakers went 15-10, he got hurt and was a wrap since
This team made the playoffs without key players for most of the season. We will be fine.
They can't beat Denver so no we won't be fine. And literally every team in the West has made sizeable moves and we have literally made not one move. What I find funny is that the Lakers will run back a team like this and not the 2020 team that they should have. SMH
@@ThrifterGuyjust need a bigman lol
@@ThrifterGuy Denver just lost _another_ key role player this offseason. They're not the looming threat they were 2 seasons ago.
@BlueGrovyle For the Lakers they are until further notice.
Lakers had key injuries Vincent,Vanderbilt and woods plus we had a bad coach choosing his rotation 🤦♂️
He’s not retiring he’s waiting in the new tv deal which will enable him to get a huge contract. Why no one sees this?
5yrs $1billion and 51% ownership

You have such interesting topics every time! Thank you for the new video! 🔥😛
Great job Trevor, youre the goat. Greetings from a laker fan in Argentina
We’re fucked
Super fucked
"It takes a special person to want to play for this franchise and take the pressure that comes along with playing for this franchise," he said. "The pressure of following Magic Johnson's footsteps, myself and the dynasty that we've had, it takes a special person to do that. And if I need to convince you come here, to carry that legacy forward, then you ain't the one to be it.

Don’t worry pelinka got faith in castleton and our undersized guards
Fire Pelinka!
Another year older another year worse and no big...😂 welcome to the circus
Big facts
Although I don’t think most of our fan base will appreciate the paycut, thank you LeBron for doing so. Max should not have been paid so much.
Define "so much". He is a young prospect that you've heavily invested in developing. Even through bad coaching, when employed by D.Ham his quality was still good consider his young age and few experience. I think Max has now a really good contract. We will see with new coaching stuff how he will improve on the offensive side and also if he keeps getting better as a perimeter defender, which in my book, he is already above league average for a guard. With Ham we didn't run a single scheme, not a tacting. Every possession was ball to the star and let him cook with whatever or just the basic high pick and roll which is still effective, but still that shouldn't be your identity. I might be biased since I've bought JJ's statement on the importance of 3pts and in the last four years, we have been at best 22th in the league for attempt (not even converted), which speaks for itself
Facts ❤😂
If Christie plays above your expectation and above this contract....he becomes an extremely coveted trade piece for other teams...dont you know that?
@@mg9009 if I hit the lottery, I’ll be rich. Don’t you know that.
@@LeadfootLou Christie is a mamba trapped in a box and shaken around....JJ has the key
Sounds like LeBron paying the Lakers back for a chunk of Bronny’s salary! LOL😂
Lmao 😂
Like paying the bill at dinner. Bron pays for Bronny. Pelinka pays for everybody else.
Yep
😂😂😂😂
At the very least stop playing around with D’Lo. If you’re going to keep him keep him and give him an extension. If you don’t want him then trade him. You can’t play winning basketball ball until you commit to your players.
another waste of season but I'm sure some fans will do mental gymnastics to defend this.
Crazy Bron gave up $20mil and Rob couldn’t do anything with it because they want to keep giving veteran min contracts to players with a damn player option smh terrible
Foreal! It’s just like damn. Even if we wanted to make a move, there would be so much more we would have to worry about thanks to these Pelinka contracts.
Sad and they still blame him 😂❤
That incorrect Pelinka isn't the one giving the player options. When a player signs a 1+1, the player option is automatic on the 2nd year it's in the CBA nothing Palinka can do about that.
Fire Pelinka.
Lakers are playing the lotto this year we want to win the lottery 😂😂
Only channel giving this type of in depth information ❤❤❤
AT LEAST WE HAVE BRONNY
Lebron did this and Rob still ain’t gone do shitt! I dont understand why Cam, wood and Hayes is even on this roster! Them bums need to go! We need A big and we need shooters and consistent point guard play! This team about to suck
It’s about Rob and his player options! He needs to go!
Bottom line jenny to cheap to go into upper tax apron like other teams do
Those 3 on the roster because they gave gaurnteed contracts and she to cheap to eat that about 8 mil and sign new players no way she doing that. Needs to sell team
& those the only 3 I’m giving up too! lol
@@wesleyjohnson1558 lol right like them 3 players make 0 sense! I can understand if we dont move D Lo until the trade deadline but these 3 players are just wasting 3 roster spots that can actually be used on players who could contribute better and play consistent.I just feel
Players been coming here for the LA lifestyle and to play for money including D Lo! D Lo need to be busting his ass working on getting better and consistent during the offseason but he won’t
@@DeepsouthlakerYou can stop asking her to sell the team it's not happening
Lebron is taking the Ronaldo route. Rapidly losing the host debate, for a nonsensical fat paycheck. Dudes already a billionaire.....
You don't get to be one, giving away money.
You act like making money is a crime, lol.
What a dumb decision
Lakers are lost and need new ownership
@@Bigmac736 I think some in the fan base need replacing. SUPPORT THE TEAM OR GET OFF THE BUSS.
I'm 100% agree. It's time to moved on from him like a lot of teams would do. It's about having a good GM and ONWERSHIP in which the Lakers lack.
But they cant see that this is the issue. Many are so brainwashed! 😪🤦
@@fahdzaa We're not brainwashed, we just support the team. The media is already counting out the Lakers and they haven't even played 1 game yet. That's the brainwashing I see, the least we can do is as fans is be supportive if we're truly fans of the team
@@JamesLakerland I smell alot of hypocrisy everywhere. Ofc. u gotta support the team, players, new coach. But its clear that the Front Office is responsible to put up a solid roster, who can rly win. Now for years the FO have made weird decisions, and if they made trades, they went on just to fix their own mistakes again. I mean how the heck cant just built a solid roster around LBJ and AD for years now? Its amaturism! Look other teams and their solid rosters! It doesnt make sense but ya all dont wanna put blame on the FO!!
DeRozan got traded to the Kings in that 3 team trade for basically 2 2nd rounders? Teams seem to get these crazy cheap trades and they want to fleece the Lakers, it's a bad look 😮
Most depressing off-season
I am not trading Gabe. Stop bringing this man's name up. Do people realize how good Gabe is? He was a big part of the Heat beating the Celtics and getting to the Finals
No mention of Kuhse,he was running it.
I wouldn't trade Rui for no Kuzma .
would any of u give back 3% of ur salary to the corporation u work for? heck no lol. Look in the mirror.
Technically It means he is paying for his son contract..
He does not have to do that because Lakers alreay sign a contract with Bronny James. Disgusting people like have you paycut for your corporation even you do your job well? lol Who even are you? Not to mention that is 3M. Have you earn that much your entire life?
@@KamiDionysus Hey Forrest.. time to switch on your brain.. the Lakers are signing a player Who doesnt deserve to be in the Nba and they also picked him, whilst he should go undrafted.. doesnt that make you light any light in your head? It's a fair deal between gentlemen, where the father has a paycut and the team Signs his son.. wake up Forrest..
@@lucasanfilippo5370that's not how contracts work but this is just babble from someone who fled. Make sure you be to work Monday and don't be late
Stfu get over it
@@lucasanfilippo5370bro, Lakers picked JHS in the first freaking round, he’s just as bad as Bronny who’s a 55th pick
This is great the Lakers can’t just keep turning over the roster every year. Build some continuity and hopefully everyone stays healthy. Maybe add a solid backup big at the deadline that can defend the Joker. A solid 50 win season is plausible
Delusional and really sad how far the standards have fallen for lakers fans
@@openmike4559 you act as if the Lakers are entitled to win every year. The Celtics went thru decades of down years. The Bulls haven’t won anything in 25 years. The Yankees go thru down years. Lakers fans are very delusional and entitled. The team has been competitive the last 6 years and won the title in the bubble in 2020. See what happens never know
@@jimmyconway6080they are smooth brain
@@jimmyconway6080bubbles don't count egg brain
@@jimmyconway6080two missed playoffs and barely making the play in isn't being competitive haha
Should have been 7.9 honestly.
😂😂😂😂
hater
A solid center !!!!
This is the another year when we say LAKERS MUST SIGN OR TRADE FOR A CENTER. Lebron willing to take a +13 MILLION PAYCUT and this FXKING OFFICE CANT DO ANYTHING. Lakers need a true Front office not the current scxmbags
Who, some act as if, you can make players, like 2k. Who's out there, that's worth it, that's affordable. People keep saying, get a big, Who?
Valanciunas was a good option in my opinion
Agree. JV was a good option and he signed elsewhere for below the MLE. Now, Kessler, Rob Williams and Carter Jr. are the best options. We’ll see if Pelinka does anything.
Do you want to work with a person who gets heavily paid but only great part-time (part-time worker) and put full effort selectively?
Am i the only one who feels like this is a loss for a season allready😔
The more Dalton Connect 4 plays the more he’s going to get better 😂, he is a shooter and needs to be your 6th or 7th man off the bench, just let him play and Dan Majerlie will rise up within him
Lakers better be ready to defend their IN season title can't wait 😅😅😭😭
They have a good young core if they develop them and stop trading them. They have athletic wings. It was their lineups which I hope coaching changes that. Christie should be featured more and hood schifino
F LeBron...he's not a true Laker...trade him & his son that doesn't deserve to b n the league
Lebron taking a paycut does not mean didley squat if they can't get a Free Agent to come play for the Lakers.
Bro why you excited? Everyone rejected us lmao
Better than nothing 🤦♂️
I’m curious, can they try to use JHS, CR, CW, and JH to try to get some 2nd round draft capital? clears up some roster spots as well.
If they don't trade for a center, it's the wrong trade.
So can the Lakers take back a little bit of money, knowing it's going to put them above the 2nd apron? If they send out 2 players for 1 and the one player they're receiving's contract is more than the 2 going out. Is that possible?
Since they re-signed
D low. nobody watches the Lakers
👑💯🙌🏿🙏🏿💎
I honesty dont mind running it back we need continuity
Bruh did you not watch how bad this roster was last year?
@@SANDMAN_747 wins is not bad
At least at the end of the day we still have AD to play the 5 and some decent backup 5s until we can hopefully make a move during the season or before if possible. But I mean it could be worse, we still have AD to play the 5 for the most part.
I don’t know why Vando keeps coming up. I really think he would’ve been the piece needed to get over Denver this year. He would’ve took the MPJ or Gordon assignment and would’ve balanced the matchup much better.
Too late nobody wants to be a laker
Go swallow something.
Bro you don’t know anything
This is great news.. Keeps us under second apron. Goin above second apron is a death knell
It means we can still make decent trades. Even if nobody wants to be a Laker, it means nothin unless you have a no trade clause
It's not that they don't want to play for the Lakers , it that's they don't want to play with LBGirl 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@LBJisBOULESPORTSANDPOLIT-tl3so I would be as well playing in the g-league, starting my career and not being perfect at everything since the day I was born. You have to start somewhere buddy. Props to the scouting department hopefully we can develop him.
Rob Pelinka laughing
They should have planned better and taken that money off of Bronny's salary. The fact that Lebron has to do this right now reveals how poorly the Lakers have planned their budget.
In Rob we trust. I believe Rob will surprise us with a major deal when we’re least expecting.
Fuck no we don’t trust rob. What has this team accomplished after winning the chip? Absolutely nothing
Vanderbilt don't score enough, defense is okay. He and Reddish turns the ball over a lots.
Wow omg he’s taking a $3 mil pay cut and only making $101 million now? How will he be able to survive 😰😰😰
Nice of Lebron to take the slight hair cut and give Rob a bit of wiggle room for a trade. But it wont be enough to improve this roster. Our newest additions are long term projects. Knecht could help out right away. I thought he had some great looks. But he still needs some work. Hensen looked nice big body with range. Want to see more of him. I’m coming from a disappointing beginning to the Laker off-season. To a realization that the Lakers are in transition. Giving Lebron a proper send off with an opportunity to play with his Son. Then hitting the reset button after next season. To build around AD and …….who knows. I feel like JJ’s inexperience hurt the Lakers in FA. Even though The Lakers are going the development route anyway. But that means a lot of growing pains and a slow grind to the top. And that’s if you do everything right.
so reports says Spence and Trent Jr are in their radar, we can rid of Cam and who?
With this new rules make it hard for us
Waiting til the deadline to see if kahwi is available in case the clippers suck 👀
How many guards do we need?
If LeBron cared enough about winning and was smart he would go ahead and do what no athlete has ever done. Play for the league vet minimum and open caps pace for other elite players to join. Only issue I see with this is there wasn't really any elite players this year. Perhaps next year? It would add to his GOAT argument.
LBJ shouldn't take that pay cut, Pelinca and The Lakers front office don't deserve any discount,he gave the discount to get the middle and they didn't do anything.
How many haters would take a pay cut on their job..? I'll wait..!
The one's whose son was hired by the job even though he couldn't do the job he was hired for! Lol
We need a new GM; if we are a top tier team we need a top tier GM; if we don't have a top 3 GM at all time we are failing. We are being run worse than the Cowboys
Oh wow 3 mil less than what he could've got😂...thats like buying a brand new Mercedes fully loaded but you skip put on the little paper floor mats
You got work in the morning
I don’t know about that. I have a 6 figure income and I care about making/losing $500😂
@eddicuss293 Bron has a billion and most likely endorsements for as long as he wants them, 3 million to him is basically 20 dollars to him at this point. It's about respect and him taking the minimum would lose him respect around the league even though he clearly doesn't need the money
@@jaymilo8425 ok it may be pennies on the dollar for him BUT, Lebron already demanded his respect when they won the bubble chip😅. Besides, taking the minimum would actually GAIN him respect and other decent players might’ve actually joined the Lakers
We need a whole new GM in the front office
King James is going to be the next Lakers owner
Doing 3 million less is like saying excuse me for shitting your pants at a board meeting.
What?
exactly 3 mil is nothing bro homeless make more than that
Lebron doesn't deserve 50M year if he cant play back to backs or defense EVERY NIGHT
He’s paid based on how much money he brings in for the lakers, Not his production 🤙🏼
Lakers no words ,only this learn from the best LA DODGERS THE BEST IN WEST .
I keep getting a gut feeling that this might be Lebron and AD’s last season with the Lakers. Lebron gets to be teammates with his son for a season and then goes to a real contender for one last shot at another ring. That leads to AD requesting a trade and then the Lakers are in a full rebuild.
Nah.. that courtesy money was used to sign Bronny.
will bronny and knecht play today?
Year to Year contract LeBron clearly just used the Lakers to draft Bronny
😂😂😂. Paycut. 3m off special for Lebaby. A year from now … he can max out again for another year
Derozen chose Sacramento over the Lakers. That tells you all you need to know
I would like to commend Rob and the front office in not making reckless trades. Klay, Demar, JonasV are not players that the Lakers really need. They need a 2 way defense 1st wing and.a rugged athletic center who can bang with the big bodies, rebound and block shots ...
Now Jerami Grant and Rob Williams is a much better fit and worth 2 protected 1st rounders along with DLo, Rui, JHS and one of the minimum guys ....(Cam?)
J.V is actually an option the Lakers could use. Any big man that gives AD a breathing room should be welcomed!
We just need a trade that doesn’t destroy our roster. Much harder to do now that half of the free agents are gone. We could do with a better Big and better point of attack defense. We can trade Dlo because he struggles in the playoffs but we’ll need to replace his playmaking.
We will win the in season tournament 2 years in a row 😢
Get use to both of them shooting poorly Trevor. Defense is only going to get tougher from here 😅. We're a play-in team. And I mean from the 10 spot.
How is he suppose to feed his children with that kind of pay cut?
Too late nobody wants to be a laker.
This is a puzzling statement! The Lakers roster is currently full. This paycut makes it easier for the Lakers to make trades! The paycut has zero to do with a player wanting to be a Laker or not 🤷🏽♂️
Stick to the kitchen
Nobody wants to be a laker. Free agents dont want to come here. Also other GMs dont want to trade with lakers. Lakers are cooked til bron retires
Never to late Lakers are the best.
Came here to say Kings got Derozan.
lakers ain’t doing anything this year, except listening to the story of Lebron and Bronny playing their first season together.
lol leflop never taught his son how to ball XD
the lebron era has to be the worst , buble title considered....AD and Lebron have taken 60% of the teams money since getting to LA...playing 50 games a year...I'm over it..
It’s crazy that no players want to sign with the Lakers. Hopefully once LBJ retires players will want to be a Laker again.😮😅
Who came after Kobe and before Lebron? Hell, who came during Kobe’s final years? No one. This is a FO/ownership issue and that ain’t changing
Same joke😂
Lakers are a top 5 team in the West with what they have now as long as JJ pans out. Way Better Coaching and a healthy Vando. All they really need is another shooter (Gary Trent Jr.), resign Spencer Dinwiddie, and trade a Rui/JSH/or Vincent and pick package for a big to move AD to the 4 (Jarrett Allen, Clint Capela, Jakob Poeltl, Walker Kessler).
How come warriors waved cp3 and didn’t have 30 mil deadmoney
If we don't get Grant I don't wanna trade reeves maybe dlo and Rui for a kuzma or something idk we need to see what Dwight howard looks like
You would trade D-Lo and Rui for Kuz ?? Are you serious ?? You can’t be !
Dam we lost our juice
Lol so Lebron is paying Bronny indirectly huh. 🥸
The usage of 'Apron' is unacceptable. Next is 'Dish Gloves' when one becomes washed... It triggers a threshold penalty where the GM has to bake a cake for Rich Paul.
The one that gets me is "high Basketball IQ". Are there any dummies in the NBA?
Laker management should be ashamed of itself. They have positioned themselves so poorly to adapt to new rules/changes. I've been a Laker fan since 1984, I have never seen such a wasteful and incompetent 4-5 year span from Laker management. We want Caruso back after we got nothing for him. We want Kuzma back, got negative back for him. We want Brook Lopez back. We let Julius Randle walk for nothing. We sign rookies to 2 year deals, not 4. Just stupid move after stupid move.

Bring back Dwight Howard to play Center
