Even when these two are healthy they are on and off. Ball was a bust and Ingram should be the Lakers trade bait. James was a mistake but we are stuck with him through 2020 I guess. Send Magic home. Fire Luke and hold an old fashioned fire sale. Get rid of everyone of them and start all over again with a real front office manager and head coach and all new players. Give the fans something to root for besides a guy old enough to break Jordan records.
We can't just start all over again. Getting one of the best players to come to your team is not a mistake. Injuries and not adding shooters in the off season was a mistake. I have no problem being stuck with still one of the best players in the game for next season. Changes need to be made, but no need to blow up the whole thing. What you are forgetting is the slacker we had (JB) running this team and not getting one top player in numerous off seasons to come here. Magic is not pefect, but what I do know is, he loves the Lakers and will do whatever it takes to get us back. You need that attitude in the front office. I will give magic more time to turn this around. I will give him much credit for getting rid of that albatross Mosgov contract which resulted in Kuzma. They drafted the players that were needs for this team, ball and ingram. Calling ball a bust is just from someone who seems to have not watched him grow as a player or a stone cold ball hater. I can't stand revistionist history. At the time, most were happy with ball and ingram draft, and landing Lebron. Now it is, Magic was dumb for drafting ball and why sign Lebron. SMFH. The young guys seem to be injury prone and we do need to add a pg, but I really believe, thanks to the one year contracts and mistakes putting players round Lebron, that the Lakers will rectify this in the offseason, and bring a strong team next year.
He sure can. No problem
No way you trade james. You are Listening to too much bullshit. If they dont want to come here, that's on them. I want people here whowant to be here.
You have to keep LBJ and put better players around him. I agree if it does not work out next year, then I would look to move him.
