I feel Lakers just wing it unlike Warriors who have plays.
What moves they should have done? How about moves they shouldnt have done! Break up the team that won the title! That team had depth, size, shooting, youth and played great defense!
2:37 Called him Westbrick! That's crazy 😂
2 games, Bron missed a quarter of the season and AD missed over half the season. The rest of the team were too old and they signed a lot of guards and no wings or stretch bigs. AD almost never played. Ariza and THT were expected too highly off. Ariza played like 1/4 the season. THT played barely half and was atrocious (possibly because of the hand injury). They were so old and injured that they had Melo playing center and monk playing small forward. Both guys who aren’t good defensively. They signed and started DeAndre Jordan. They didn’t keep Alex Caruso. Nunn was out the entire season. Someone with any common sense explain how you blame Russell Westbrook who despite having a down season by HIS standards still puts up 19 7 7 as a 3rd option with a horrible offensive minded coach and a horrible supporting cast and roster. And majority of his team in wheel chairs and old people homes???! Russ played 78 out of 82 games and averaged 19 7 7!!! Compare the amount of games from the other players.

1 thing I give GSW. They find great talent cheap, groom them and create a winning culture. They perfected this formula. Laker's front-office PLS take note. They need Jerry West or similar type of exec.
question is what options do they have?…hint…ZER0!
I like the Lakers big three LeBron AD and Westbrook when he is on Westbrook is one of the most exciting point guards in the league. I believe the problem is role players the Lakers not having anybody that can come off the bench and pick up the slack for Westbrook when he's off and i believe that should be the Lakers focus kind of like harden in Philly when harden is off Doc Rivers pulls him quick and then bring him back into the game.
Lakers.. Jimmer Freddete > Russell Westbrook
Lebron trade with kryrie irving !!! Win win solution, broklyn win NBA title 2023, lakers win 2024
Nothing the Lakers can or will do, will have much of an impact on next season. Lakers are down for at least two seasons. There will be no finals run next year or the year after. Lakers need to re-evaluate how they run the franchise.
I wouldn't blame Lebron for leaving after we resigned Russ for 47 million dollars. Russel westbrick is trash.
LA Lakers should start scouting players from the Harlem Globetrotters.
Gonna be such a Clown Show of a year for the Lakers.
It is so obvious they cant allow Russ any where near the team.
I expect they wull start Nunn and hope Russ off the benchis effective but Russ is a huge negative and is so toxic/ low Ball IQ he will affect the morale of the whole team.
Lakers need to sign people like to help ad and lebron and Westbrook they need shooters and another big
My free agent targets , Dante DiVincenzo , Demarcus cousins , Gary Harris , monk , Otto porter , delon wright
Lol. there is nothing the Lakers can do, their fate is sealed. Who would trade any of their decent players for Westbrook. The thing to do is prepare now for after Lemelo signs his Max contract in Charlotte. Time to liquidate Lebron and A.D., this team has no way to compete for a championship for the next 4 years.
I proposed Russ, THT, Austin Reaves, and Nunn to Brooklyn for Kyrie, Seth Curry, and Joe Harris. The NBA trade machine suggested Brooklyn would be 2 games better with this trade. Let's make it happen.
The Lakers have 2 top 7 players in the NBA. If you think they are desperate your just not correct. Lol
Send Westbrook to Portland and try to take Lillard
just blow it up and trade Lebron and AD
only bo cruz can save them
Lakers need SOLID role players like they had in 2020. Shooters who were great defenders. Bron and AD need to stay healthy. Russ just need to play like it's a contract year. Because it is. You want another max, play for it!!
LITERALLY EVERY TIME THE LAKERS WIN IT ALL: jealous haters- “the refs and the media helps the Lakers win”
Right…. Stephen A Smith helps them win the title.
Just one question… when the Lakers lose why didn’t the refs or media help them win?… oh i see, only when they win you have to say things to help you cry less like a sniveling pathetic little loser… i get it
When you make people around the world SO JEALOUS AND ANGRY that they start saying things like “the media helps them win”… You KNOW you should be proud of your city and organization
Well for one thing move Westbrook to the bench
If you think getting rid of Russell will fix the Lakers problems YOU DON'T KNOW BASKETBALL
They're saying everything but play defense 😂
Release some talent therefore I can enter Los Angeles unhinged
Release some talent
What does Seth Greenberg bring to all these segments? He has no personality and no NBA resume. ESPN might as well bring in a local high school basketball coach.
Lakers gonna suck if nothing happens. Ad is soft. Warriors still deep!
I hate that GOAT commercial smh
its not funny
If the Lakers don't move Russell Westbrick then they are basically PUNTING ON THE UP COMING SEASON!!!
I don't think they can win with a old lebron and AD. Russell is a obvious bad fit. Time to rebuild with all young
Melo was great last year
Warriors just won the chip but let’s just talk more about lebrons legacy, Kyrie Irving legacy as well let’s also not forget about lakers. Did I mention lakers?
Don't matter. No one beating the warriors.
Media needs to move there topic to other teams what about the bucks heat and mavs moves?
Lebrons run is over
Lol LeBron will leave in free agency 🤣
The amount of verified information you bring is tremendous.. <Bitcoin continues its wild swings between $19-21.5K the market dynamics of the last few days indicate that the whales are making some big transfers of bitcoin from one pocket to another. <Either this is an attitude of speculation in the range or whipping up froth to attract capital from retail investors who may feel that the low point has been passed. <Additionally, the 2022 volume profile is very thin, between $32-$37k if bulls want to send a message to the market that a new uptrend is about to begin, then they will need to push Bitcoin price to a daily close near $44k. <Macro factors are demanding further downside, as the impact of inflation and geopolitical strife is clearly felt on equities markets. Until BTC reclaims the key moving averages these are considered distribution rallies used to sell the rip or add to short positions…But whatever you lose in a macro downtrend, you'll gain multiples back in a macro uptrend. All you have to do is pay attention to the markets when they are ultra bearish. Everyone was super bullish on the markets, but now the markets start to correct, and the fear takes over, as retail trader at these volatile times I keep profiting regardless using accurate trade signals from Lewis Bryson my portfolio have been on a rise although the rates are capricious wiping out some of my profits i still have about 9.14' btc! worth of crypto assets.<There might be so many investments out there but if profits must be considered, which is actually the sole aim of every Investment then I’ll advice you to go into crypto tradiing because it has higher profit returns. You can reach out to Mr Lewis on <ͲeIєɠɾαm his personal handle is @Lewisbryson
Just replace the players with nuns and priests. Who’s going to foul them?
Love how they talk about finding another Caruso…LA let him walk…
If, if, if…except it ain’t
Bron and AD are the Lakers biggest problem. Their salaries suck up most the money. Then add Westbrook and its crazy.
