The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[DJ Fieri]

I am beginning to like Kokolo's D!

The kid isn't much of a scorer but he can rebound and play some defense.

Hachimura needs to score more.

Hachimura needs to score more.

He's struggling.....they defending him well.

The kid isn't much of a scorer but he can rebound and play some defense.

Exactly why they signed him. He may get 2 to 6 points a game but he is def a legit defender in the paint taking the pressure off of AD!!

 

[Retroram52]

Vincent and Reddish are doing better in James' absence!

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is just 6 points. The Lakers need more defensive stops.

 

[Retroram52]

Our three-point percentage is atrocious!

 

[Retroram52]

We are not finishing Quarters especially in the Second half of the game.

 

[Retroram52]

Lead is back to 8. The Lakers need to hit some more threes down the stretch to get the win. That and play some better defense.

 

[Retroram52]

AD hits the 3 and the lead is 5.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Looks like we will squeak by.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, there goes this game. Ten point lead and not much time left.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers just didn't put up much offense and their defense had holes. Sooner or later they will get it.

 

[Retroram52]

This article pretty much nails what ails the Lakers. The etiology of this mess goes all the way back to Rob Pelinka and ultimately to Jeanie Buss who completely abandoned Jerry West as a GM and potential architect of a possible future championship basketball franchise that he designed just about everywhere he went after being thrown out of the Lakers operation in favor of idiots like Kurt Rambis and Rob Pelinka.

Scouts, executives give a reality check about the state of the Lakers

The Lakers have lost eight of their last 11 games, and scouts and executives across the NBA kept it real about what is afflicting the team.

Great win last night.

AD balled out (40 points, 16 rebounds, 2 steals and a block) and James and Reaves helped out but it was mainly AD....

 

[Retroram52]

Yep. A win over Memphis. We still need to get some help for AD and the backcourt needs a sniper shooter who can play D.

 

[Retroram52]

If there is a choice between the two, I would go after Williams III. Better player and younger to give AD some help. Put together a package of some of our crappy bench players and a Second ROUNDER FOR HIM.

Lakers are reportedly showing 'serious trade interest' in two centers

According to one prominent NBA reporter, the Lakers have "serious interest" in two centers on the trade market.

If you continue to go 3-7 and 4-6 in 10-games spans, you ain't going anywhere in the post-season and you are def headed to the lottery in the NBA Draft. Also, Redick ain't the genius coach that James led everyone to believe he would be. He really is more of the same as Ham and others before him and apparently a guy that James gets along with unlike many of his predecessors.

 

[Retroram52]

I def agree with most of this article. We don't need to send away draft capital for aging NBA players. Redick is right in developing young new potential stars.

Three stars the Lakers aren't expected to pursue on the trade market

Despite some rumors and the wishes of some fans, the Lakers likely won't be going after three stars who are rumored to be available via trade.

[Retroram52]

Robert Williams III is the guy that the Lakers should pursue if they want a bruising type Center to give AD some help. Kuzma is to expensive and Grant is too old and too expensive.

Buha: Lakers are linked to several players on the trade market

The Lakers have a fairly long list of players they're considering as trade targets over the next several weeks.
