The "Superstars" of today who all wanted a free ride to glory rather than doing the heavy lifting of dragging the team towards it.
Even with help, they don’t know what to do with it. They had Russell and gave him away. Lonzo? And they just alienated their young guns. The only thing going for them are the Laker Girls

All da truf.
Pelinka and Aids didn't lure Lebron,they didn't recruit him.He wanted to go to LA to shoot Space Jam 2 this summer and his wife and kids were already living in LA.So he called them and said that he was signing with the Lakers.That wasn't a front office success.He just informed them.
And being too busy with movie scripts and hip hop albums,he neglected playing GM and look what happened.He brought it on himself.
The AD fiasco was the nail in the coffin and that was all Lebron and Rich Paul as well.
Lmao! birthday cakers!
Things are looking more and more bleak for the Lakers. I don't think they can land AD this summer, because they don't have the pieces and New Orleans probably wants to send him anywhere but L.A. at this point. I don't see KD, Klay, or Kawhi going there. No one really wants Lonzo, so his trade value is low. If they sign DeMarcus Cousins, it'll be a year of drama and dysfunction. Vucevic seems too low key and sensible to want to play there. Jimmy Butler & LeBron would be a volatile pairing. If they can't land a major free agent or two this summer they have no chance next season, and that leaves them running the following year with Lebron turning 36. Wow...
You need the Lakers in the playoffs. Why? Cause if they don't make it I can see them winning the 1st overall pick and getting Zion. No conspiracy there...
LeBron and the Laker kids' locker room must be a load of laughs. The entertainment should continue this off-season.
Lebron realizing that he's know longer on top and grasping at any straw that takes the blame away from him.
Injuries killed our season![]()
Lonzo is our savior
The team has a worse record with me back than it did when I was out but I'm still going to harp on the kids and blame them for where we are at![]()
I have a hard time believing that Klutch will outlive LeBron's NBA career. They seem as stupid as Kawhi's "group", and don't understand leverage or pressure points at all. They've made the same mistake that The Group made in trying to force a team to trade for the Lakers trash. So far, representation agencies are 0-2 with that ploy.
Yeah, ouch...
But cool, now he can sign with SA
I honestly don't know.They also have the mess of Nerlens Noel contract in their track record.Yet,they handled Bledsoe's contract with intelligence last week.
It just may be that Lebron was more to blame in the AD situation than Rich Paul.Time will tell.
LA was still somehow in the run for a PO spot until up AD trade talks...
How do you want players to feel involved and leave it all out on the floor while your name is all over the media and your FO publicly acknowledging they want to trade half the team for Davis?
-'Hey, we want to trade your ass but we love you, you're family... so please get us in the PO'.
Same for Lebron, your leader who was certainly saying all the nice things in the locker room while lobbying for AD behind the curtains... 'Follow my lead!'
Youngters have quit on the team and Lebron...
Time to ask Lakers fans if they still think spurs were asking too much for Kawhitter...
Can't wait to see the bull Klutch pulls with DeJounte's contract.
Honestly feels more like LeBron quitting on them with how lazy and unfocused he has looked since not getting Davis. LMAO at him really believing another team would trade him an in his prime Hall of Famer for a grab bag of crap that accomplished all of 35 wins last season.
"Hey Dejounte,if you want to force a trade,tweet a simple I don't want to be here.Then we'll say you were in a hair saloon!"
True, in part. There's also the lack of talent to consider. Vets are just washed out dinosaurs who can't guard anybody (Rondo? Chandler? Stephenson?....), the others besides Ingram and Kuzma can't hit a shot from 5 feet. They simply are bad. I know that at a time thye were in 4th spot, but that was early season, Dallas or Memphis were up there too....You can't hide mediocrity.
They could make a reality show with the banana boat es![]()
Ugh...probably will sit out half of next season rehabbing in New York with his own doctors.
The Lakers are gonna miss the playoffs.
The Nuggets are up 20 in Staples right now.
And they are counting down Lebron's points needed to pass MJ in the scoring list.
This has to either be a joke,or they must really be a joke franchise nowadays.
He didn't even score those points for your team you morons,he just got there!
Didn't Dominique Wilkins have some career milestones for the Spurs during their lost season . . .
You are seriously comparing a tanking Spurs team that knew what they were doing and got Tim Duncan out of it,with the overhyped Lakers of this year?
The ESPN licking their balls all day,Lakers? The Lakers that failed horribly?
And they had a live countdown of Lebron's points?
Next to the actual score that said how much they suck?
And they were cheering every Lebron basket?
Come on man
Did the Lakers lose a HOFer this season like the Spurs did in their ONE lost season? A center who would be the advanced metrics nerds favorite player in the league? I don’t think so.
They have zero excuses. Not sure if this is GM Lebron who wanted to surround himself with castoffs, or if he was okay waiting a year until the books open up a bit.
Statswise, Lebron is at or above career averages. But his impact on the floor (+1.5 net rtg) isn’t enough to make up for dreadfully play when he sits or is out of the lineup (-5.4). If you watch them play, it’s no surprise Josh Hart is their second most positive impact player of guys who get big minutes, and stats prove it out. Everyone else is a misfit.
Everything in the state of California is a joke now a days.
