Lakers failures lay at the doorstep of Magic and Pelinka. They have been horrible GMs.

How dare you!! They stole Kuzma at the bottom of the draft and got rid of sorry as D'Angelo! They dumped garbage ass Julius Randle and secured KCP for 2 years at 30 mil.

This year they drafted that 3 and D big Mo Wagner and that sharp shooting Svi for 3 instead of sorry ass Mitchell Robinson. Bron signed off on all these players and he's the best GM ever.

Fall back player

On a serious note either Lebron is hurt still or father time got him in a choke hold. He was getting stopped at the rim and underneath the boards. He has to dunk or they can stop him now and he's making turnovers at the ends of games and not finishing.

At this point the franchise is stuck if they can't get a prime player so Lebron can be the #2 option. If Ingram and Kuzma keep getting better but still deferring to Bron this shit will get beyond ugly.

So they will have to gut everything and have AD, LBJ, and 13 role players.

What do you mean? The process seems to be working well. Drafting two starts used other assets to bring in quality players via trade now the only thing left is to attract a big name free agent. People may not like what they did but it is working.

Damn...How many big name free agents y'all want?

I would let Jimmy walk and keep Tobias

I think he’s not 100% yet, mind kinda only because body ain’t there yet.

Crazy part is him and rondo don’t get hurt at the same time, they likely have a first playoff at home, now they gonna be able to read very early and bron gonna be able to film episodes of the show often....

A snitch maybe, but Russell far from sorry. Y'all niggas would be in a better position if he was your starting PG rather than Ball.

And Mitch Rob is going to be good.

Sarcasm bro. You should not be building a team around Bron until he changes his game up. He should spend more time in the post, but hey go ahead and waste energy bringing the ball up and pounding it for 10 seconds

Bron is both still a little hurt and a step slower.

Lakers are not going to get the LBJ that was in Cleveland. And not the organization is at the mercy of an aging superstar that is past his prime.

That's all I'm saying. It reminds me of the 52 million they gave Kobe to keep their TV deal. As long as he's on the team, they will stay on tv and in the media.

I think Lebron had a lot to do with those moves.

I don't think they happen without Lebron's input or what he wanted.

I don't know why they got rid of Thomas Bryant or Lopez. Bryant is who you want Wagner to be. It's like Zubac you developed them to let them go for nothing. And they could have had Lopez for cheap. So that's two stretch bigs they could have had. They could have still gotten Jevele. IMO from the beginning I thought they should have gotten someone like Wayne Ellington instead of Lance or Beasley. And they paid Lance $8 mil.

Magic thought Lebron was going to be magic and guide them to the west finals but he forgot Lebron is playing one on one against someone who is undefeated... Father Time. Let’s not forget Lebron been in the league since he was 18 and although injuries may not have been his problems all those games year in and year out take a toll on him.

If you’re into baseball look how fast doc halladay went down when he went to the Phillies his body just wasn’t used to playing all those extra games and it caught up with him.

Father Time is undefeated unless your name is Adrian Peterson

Yeah Lebron has slipped. He's no longer the best player in the league.

The lack of defense and those Steph Curry threes he does. :smh:

Lonzo
Lebron
Rondo

I don't. But you don't think it's fair to question if he knows what he's doing based on the results?

It's crazy how white NBA management is. More ex-players deserve chances. But it's the nature of sports, especially for a team with the acclaim and expectations of this year's Lakers, to question pretty much everything when it falls apart.

LeBron is not a #2 option. He needs a very strong #2 like Kyrie but he's still certainly a player you could build a championship team around.

Funny you quoted the Hawks because the Nuggets are gonna be the 2014 version of them. 60 win regular season and a early playoff exit. They need a true superstar.

They have no playoff experience so we will see.
