The Lakers are done

Their roster construction is a house of cards.

Said this all offseason. The bubble was absolutely perfect for them. Unless they get another bubble they need to change the roster.

So they need to change the roster.

They need to buy anyway.

You make the right moves now and you just need to get in.

They built this team like a bunch of fucking doofuses (because Rob and Jeanie are). None of the players fit around Lebron and AD. They don't have any front court players to support AD and shoulder some of the load either for when his misses time. He has ALWAYS been injury prone so you should build your roster to keep in mind he's gonna miss some games. Lakers didn't do that. In fact, they rejected Myles Turner because they don't want to give up draft picks. They are morons.

I've told yall for years on this forum. The Lakers organization since Jerry Buss died are clowns. Jim, Jeanie, it doesn't matter. They don't know what they are doing. They owe all their success over the last 10 years because Lebron James personally decided it was better for his business brand to be in LA and play for the Lakers. He then used Klutch to get Anthony Davis. The Lakers didn't do shit. If James never comes to LA, the Lakers are still in the lottery every year wasting young talent like they were before he got there.

Yep.

Unfortunately, they gained very little ground, even with Davis going thermonuclear.

They are in deep shit.

I said this (the latter) and you laker fans threw a fit in disagreement


I think Beverly is exactly the kind of guy you want with Lebron…just a few years too late

He’s a better version of fisher imo. Not a true pg but a good fit next to a ball dominant wing and can spade the floor and defend

OMG

Yeah, could be one hell of a pick for NOLA.

Be funny if they traded it for a star to solidify them for this year’s playoff run.

Dude was balling.

But, it was always a matter of WHEN, not if.

Great talent. But he's pretty much been a walking injury waiting to happen his entire career. He's only played at least 70 games twice in his career. '16-'17 & '17-'18 he played 75 games. Although during the '19-'20 season he did play 62 of 71.

They have Lebron for a limited amount of time they need to make most of it. Stop bluffing and give up your future picks for guys. Bog or a couple guys. Obviously going a big name guy is what they want but time is not on their side especially after the AD injury. It’s hard enough to win with a talented and healthy team

You think Mitchell will put on a show tomorrow night against the Jazz?
