Facts

[ambchang]

I don’t think even the most extreme laker hater would expect them to be this bad at the beginning of the season. I had them around 3rd or 4th seed in the west. Maybe 5th. They proceeded to crash like a helicopter on a foggy day and will finish 11th in the west.

Seriously, what happened? Why was it THIS bad?

[MultiTroll]

Seriously, what happened? Why was it THIS bad?
Lebron missed about 20 games and Giraffe Davis missed 40.
Much as i think Davis is an overated douche, with what Lebron the GM assembled around them it's no real surprise at their record.

Can't believe he let the White Gangsta go and so many of the other rolies.
And of course WestChuck. :lmao

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

lakers fans been pretty .... pretty quiet

lol what if at the beginning of the season, we had been told that SAS would win 2 more games than LAL and have 3 more first round picks than them? would spursfan have taken that?

[baseline bum]

Can’t get worse tbh

They could lose Monk who is easily their third best player, as well as keep Westbrook (which would make re-signing Monk difficult). If I'm the Lakers I'm releasing Westbrook and stretching him so I have the full MLE to spend and hope I get someone decent and run LeBron and Davis back one more year. They really don't have any other options and I don't buy this idea that they should be worried about future flexibility more than next year. They already made their choice in mortgaging their future, can't go back on it now, they have to be concerned about next year.

The more I thought about it, the more I lay the blame on Kobe. Why would he bring a bunch of kids, including his own beloved daugther, on a copter under such situations? He should have exhibited better judgment in a situation like that and because of the lack in judgment, 9 lives were lost.

I don’t recall anyone anywhere except Jalen Rose who was college buddies with Pelinka, praising Rob, Linda, Kurt or Jeannie/Vogel for the title two years ago. It was Bron leadership in a tragic season and teaching AD how to win and making Caruso better. That got all the credit. It doesn’t flip now we suck. KLUTCH is why we dished all our assets for Davis and chose THT over Caruso and overpaid him too.

[Killakobe81]

In the end we hit 17 so it’s worth it but I’m not gonna scapegoat Vogel or Pelinka for following the KLUTCH path that starts with overpaying KCP twice

Not that I disagree, just find it amusing that you have no problems talking about the fall of the lakers as Lebrons fault for his lack of leadership but wouldn’t admit years of irrelevance since 2012 was due to Kobe until Lebron came to the rescue.

The lakers don’t have a strong management team and their entire strategy is to star build which leads to stars having overwhelming power over the franchise. Riley told Lebron to piss off with the heat and it’s something that eventually hurt both sides. It was a stupid move in a way but he was forced his hand and it was either that or bend over backwards for Lebron.

We cater to stars so when we have them in their primes it works as they age it sucks.
I do find it funny when people say we have poor team management but yet we are the most successful franchise.
Yes we bottom out after our title runs but our strategy works. We are star fuckers through and through. I like when we had Kobe or Eddie Jones before dat but Most of Lakernation is spoiled and entitled and don’t have the patience to watch young guys develop

Location location location. Wilt, Kareem, shaq, Lebron, Kobe, Davis all forced their way to LA because of location. It has nothing to do with management.

Sure they were willing but we had to make trades nice contracts etc even to accommodate Shaq and Bron who were free agents. To get Bron they sucked up to Rich Paul the year before overpaying KCP and talking up the signing by quoting scripture it was a shameless charade and obvious attempt to gain favor with KLUTCH. Kobe was a Jerry West steal. West sold Shaq on Lakers etc. They also had to draft sign and trade for complementary pieces. Are they as well run as the Spurs? No obviously, But the lakers have won 6 titles to the Spurs 5 since Tim was drafted …it’s not just the stars … but they are the biggest piece of the puzzle. My point is all those stars came and left and we still won. Duncan and pop are there for all 5 of yours you have great culture management and stability. We have a media circus and dysfunction but yet won titles with two different coaches with plenty others in between during the same era …three different decision makers our owner died we still won a title just two years ago.

And it’s because of the location and free agents. Teams like the spurs had to build from scratch and hope the superstar they found/developed would stick around. When you get a guy like nephew it sets the team back decades. Whereas the lakers have enormous room for error. Bad signing with nash and Howard? I will just throw more money at it. Ingram and Russell not developing (or th e lakers don’t want to spend time developing you GM talent)? I will just force a trade by using the media to apply pressure.

Shaq didn’t have to sold. He was going to Hollywood all along. It was an open secret to a degree that the league had to step in and investigate for tampering to feign fairness when the league wanted that signing all along. Lebron to lakers was another example. At that point the lakers were the laughing stock of the league. NO WAY Lebron or any self respecting free agent superstar would sign with that team if not for the association with Hollywood.

The media would routinely root for and come up with trades for the lakers then grill unwilling trade partners and apply pressure. It’s almost comical.

I like the hire. Ham has coached Kobe and Giannis (two of the hardest workers at their positions). I could see Ham getting in AD face and helping him play with more purpose and toughness.

AD's skills are unquestionable. What is questionable is his heart and his injury history is pathetic.

He's Pop's distant great grandson:

Pop ➡️ Mike Budenholzer ➡️ Darvin Ham

First year coaches have been successful (see Ime with Boston as latest example; and he at least played for Pop).

It all depends on Westbrook. If he stays, the Lakers are 5th seed at best. If they trade him for pieces that fit Bron and AD - even if it's not for a 3rd star - the Lakers will be back in the hunt.

We'll know in about a month what the 2022-2023 Lakers will look like. Westbrook has until June 29th to opt into his $47M contract. After that let's see what Pelinka does since Westbrook cannot be traded until he opts in.

When it becomes clear Kyrie not coming, I'd jump on this deal.

Russ: out
In: Pat Bev :lol, Jordan Clarkson, (Bogs or Malik Beasley). If they throw in THT, they could get Cam Redish too.

Not the deal I wanted (Killa Kyrie), but I'd much rather the above rather than bring back Russ.

Cam is my pet cat since Duke. Got a lot in his bag but he is very inconsistent. But hey he's only 22. Would rather him than THT tho.

Well, agree to disagree. Although I see your point, I loathe having Westbrook on the Lakers. He was an absolutely horrible fit, yet he still thinks he's 2014 Westbrook. Can't shoot. Can't defend. Waning athleticism. Lost a step. Maybe he can be bought out?

I'm probably the most optimistic Lakers fan on this board. I once cheered on Rodman, GP and the Mailman. But Russ? I want him gone yesterday.

Thought I was done with lakers documentary/series after the Magic controlled narrative but this Hulu doc directed by Antoine Fuqua is great. Crazy how 84 and 85 still resonate with me, Flea, Robb Lowe and of course Riles, Magic, Cooper, Rambis etc.

Loved the Shaqobe Lakers especially since I was still playing competitive (relative) and coaching AAU in the early 2000s.
But the childhood memories of the heartbreak of 84 and the redemption of 85 resonates so much more.

Btw validities winning time in spots
Two episodes in we got a Buss West clash over ego
The jealousy between kareem and Magic over his contract and Buss relationship called out
And they have set up the Buss children future battles quite well
Just mild mentions of Buss whoring and lack of parenting and very little on Magic doing the same but that is to be expected

[MultiTroll]

Hulu doc directed by Antoine Fuqua is great.
Did Fagics propaganda piece already come and go? Didn't notice.

Wow props to Jeannie for putting some of the Buss West clash along with Kream and Magic.

Good points. Counterpoints:

Lonnie Walker** makes THT expendable. THT most likely will improve in Utah with consistent minutes and being out of the limelight. But, Pat Bev helps the Lakers now more so than THT.

Pat Bev not only helps our putrid point of attack perimeter defense in the interim, he's an expiring deal, and is insurance for when Russ is traded:
1562817549175508993

If this ^ is correct, other moves are on the way. I'd like to have a deal with Indy. Starting lineup:

Nunn or Pat Bev
Buddy
Bron
AD
Myles Turner

Lakers dominated the paint in 2020. Myles and AD would lock the paint down. Myles is a threat from 3 (unlike Dwert or JaVelle) and was amongst the league leaders in swats just last season. And Buddy's shooting provides spacing.

Let's see what Rob does.

Why the hell would the pacers trade Myles for westbrick? Westbrick has negative trade value and the lakers do not have any picks to trade away. The pacers are better off letting Myles rot on the bench than to have westbrick on their roster. The lakers would have to have at least three unprotected first round picks along with westbrick to get someone of turners capabilities. And you guys just don’t have that. THT would be a good trade for a heavily protected first (say top 20 and that would be a stretch) or a second round pick but you guys don’t even have that anymore. The only way is for the lakers to count on the press to pressure teams to trade their assets for the lakers trash line they did with unibrow and mvpau.

Beverly was overrated when he was in his prime. He’s now average on defense, horrible on offence and has no intangibles. I can see him clashing with Lebron constantly with leGM demanding him be traded. He’s like a less talented westbrick with less accolades and a smaller salary.

Nah, even though the Lakers have the poorest majority owner in the NBA, and many small market teams have richer owners, the fact that these ultra rich owners continue to buy teams and then they hire inept front offices. They get a high lotto pick, fail to put competent players around him, lose, franchise player gets mad, then he forces his way to a large market team (like my Lakers :lol).

The issue is that Russ is getting paid $47M, even in today's day and age, that is an incredible amount of money. Teams are not willing to get a pick for spending $47M. As for MVPau, we all know there was a mole with the Grizzlies.


:lol No way is THT worth a first. If that were the case the Lakers likely go another direction rather than Pat Bev.

That's why it was top 20 protected and a stretch at that. Glad you acknowledge that Pat Beverley isn't even worth a top 20 protected pick though.

It's nothing to do with them being incompetent, it has to do with:
1) players didn't get the nightlife they get in larger markets, like LA, Miami or NY
2) players don't like the weather (Portland, Minnesota, Milwaukee, Detroit, OKC, etc ...)
3) The press continuously put out these trade scenarios and heavily push for them. As much as we hate to admit it, small market teams rely on the press to get them coverage and good graces.


We'll have to see son.

Let's see. He is 33 going on 34, his FG% and 3P% has dropped. I can see him putting up 10 and 6 on a bad team, so maybe he'd be able to do that with the Lakers.

You have to dump those two picks now, you can't half ass it. You mortgaged your future for Davis so you gotta go all the way and dump those two picks to see if you can get some players to make it work right now. Honestly it's very possible, all you guys really need is some shooters. Not like there are any world beaters out in the west. But the decision has already been made and you just have to go all the way with it.

[ambchang]

Honestly I still do not understand why the Lakers didn't use the Westbrook money to get a whole bunch of 3 and D guys. Everybody knew that Westbrook will be a terrible fit, and the only hope was that they would be tight defensively to make up for the offensive issues due to lane-clogging, now the defence is not even doing well, the entire thing is just a gong-show. The Lakers have to reset, but they have nothing to reset. So the only way is for them to release another contagious virus to shut down the league and truncate it to allow for a huge long term mid-year break that allows Lebron and Davis to recoup/juice up, while Len Biasing Westbrook, and they will have a chance then.

[mystargtr34]

These are the high end role players the Lakers let walk or traded away for Russell fucking Westbrook a non-shooting, low IQ, useless off the ball, non-defense playing chucker.

Kyle Kuzma
Alex Caruso
KCP
Danny Green (ok he’s done but they probably could have squeezed another year out of him after 2020 off the bench)

Kyle Kuzma
Alex Caruso
KCP
Danny Green (ok he’s done but they probably could have squeezed another year out of him after 2020 off the bench)
Javale Mcgee

You could literally put Kuzma, KCP and Caruso in the starting lineup next to LeBron and AD today and the Lakers are back to being a contender in a West that’s not that crash hot.

Pelinka :lol

:lol K:lolzma, KCP, and Caruso aren't making this Laker team a contender. Stop it.

Did anybody check on Fabio? He alright, went back to Mejico, etc?

Through three games this season, opponents are contesting jump shots by Westbrook only 41.2 percent of the time. According to Second Spectrum, that’s by far the lowest contest rate in NBA tracking data history, which dates back to 2013-14.

McGee is fine as a low minute, non-closing C, but relatively easily replaceable and Green and a 1st for Schroder made sense at the time, but Kuzma and Caldwell-Pope for Westbrook never did (ditto had it been DeRozan or Hield), nor did letting Caruso walk.

Had they had a top six of Kuzma, James, Davis, Caldwell-Pope, Schroder, Caruso right now, they're not a contender, but they're a solid second tier team with decent assets/flexibility.



or they could have just signed DeRozan.

Better player at this point and lesser ego, but same structural issues (useless off ball and defensively).

Does Magic get any credit for the Westbook acquisition?

Magic Johnson gets Lakers honorary title removed after posting controversial free agent tweets – New York Daily News (nydailynews.com) (https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/magic-johnson-lakers-honorary-title-removed-article-1.2670702)

[RC_Drunkford]

Honestly I still do not understand why the Lakers didn't use the Westbrook money to get a whole bunch of 3 and D guys. Everybody knew that Westbrook will be a terrible fit, and the only hope was that they would be tight defensively to make up for the offensive issues due to lane-clogging, now the defence is not even doing well, the entire thing is just a gong-show. The Lakers have to reset, but they have nothing to reset. So the only way is for them to release another contagious virus to shut down the league and truncate it to allow for a huge long term mid-year break that allows Lebron and Davis to recoup/juice up, while Len Biasing Westbrook, and they will have a chance then.

Exactly. LeBron's formula has always been to team up with other big names for a short-term window at the expense of the team's long term assets. It worked in Miami and the second stint in Cleveland, and even in the Bubble with LA.

Karma caught up with him with Westbrook, tbh.

The Wizards were desperate to get out from under Westbrook's contract. Kind of amazing they got out from Wall's horrendous contract and then Westbrook's. Still a franchise going nowhere, but that was a good business.

Lakers have no real draft capital after the AD deal so I'm hoping amongst hope that 23 year old Lonnie develops and is re-signed as a core piece. Big if, I know but Pelinka painted the Lakers in a corner.

There will be many ups and downs but I hope he found a home in LA.

Don't worry, the Lakers will always have a trade where they will send a future top 59 protect 2nd round pick to some small market team for 3 lottery picks and $3M in cash considerations.
