It’s just basketball-


I saw that

Only dude i truly like on this team are AR and Christie. Couldn't care less about anyone else.


Yep and all AR heaters in full force…

There’s nothing wrong dapping up a friend but add this to the laughing on bench during cavs loss is a bit of an issue


I think Lebron has checked out on this team and is just playing for the money at this point.



I am honestly surprised he even wants to continue to play in the NBA. There’s no possible way he will ever spend the amount of money in his lifetime that he’s already made. So then it gets back to what would give you the most personal joy at age 40? Playing an NBA season, maintaining your body, half the time on the road. Or just retire and relaxing. Does LeBron not have any other hobbies he’d rather be doing? And all that family time he’s given up, he will never get it back.

But some pro athletes are wired like that where they love their profession more than anything else including their family.

Think of all the tedious crap these guys have to deal with. Packing for road trips. Fighting traffic to get to practice. Taking the bus between the arena, hotel. Working out constantly to keep your body in shape. Commercial/business/media obligations. And to do the same (bleep) for 20+ years when any money you make you really will never spend it yourself. Maybe your great great great grandkids will.

Just stacking records. That’s all he cares about. That’s fine.

Reminds me of Novak Djokovic. Sticking around for no reason other than to chase a milestone.

What other records does LeBron want to get?

It’s just stacking. The random passing mj in something in 7 more seasons type stuff will always pop up.

If you think he’s so shallow that he only cares about records, you’re clueless

Lebron is playing the game he loves and makes 60M a year plus endorsements. He’s playing at an elite level. Even now he’s an all star level player.

Don’t see why anyone in their right mind would want to quit. He enjoys the game.

I’m no Lebron guy, but I can’t hate on his love to play. Sure stats may be a part of the goal but he also genuinely seems to love to play the game.

The issues with this roster are that Pelinka fired some good coaches, he traded away some high quality role players and has never been able to put it back. Ask yourself is the issue Lebron or that Vincent, Vando, Rui and Max Christie make a combined 50M and not one of them is a decent starting level player (even though Max is showing some signs of life). We already knew that Lebron at this age would NOT be Joker like or Cavs Lebron IE MVp who carries you all season. So we needed elite team depth and high quality chemistry and pieces that fit.

50M of this roster is a complete waste of $$$$ on marginal talent. Guys that should/would be replaced by Vet Min guys. Pelinka has not done a good enough job IMO.

BTW I felt we’ve missed DLOs offense a bit. Even off the bench he did have some impact in some games. You can see the difference as the game wears on. The right piece to trade for DFS was Rui and to keep DLo in the 6th man role. Not sure the Nets wanted Rui though.

I’m not gonna lump Christie in with them as he’s providing genuine two-way play, but yeah getting a combined 6 points + a DNP (that has been that way for almost a year) from $38mil worth of salary is diabolical

I feel like the team (whether that be Rob, Jeanie, JJ, who knows) genuinely likes Rui better as a ‘core piece’, when in reality he should be far from that

DLo was never sticking with the team beyond this season, so best to move on from him first

Re: offense - I think part of the problem is that we’re reliant on Dalton as our offensive guard off the bench, when he doesn’t seem consistently ready enough to take on that load just year. But you also couldn’t have DLo AND Knecht as defensive liabilities coming off the bench together

It honestly shouldn't matter what we do from now on.

One thing Rob needs to do is keep those picks no matter what. There are no trades out there moving the needle for this team to become contenders.

You expect Christie-Reaves-Dalton to develop as players. In all honesty these past 2 years have been exhausting as a fan. Sure WCF but it's exhausting having to make complete squad overhauls every season thinking this will make us contenders.

Lower the expectations drastically and the games will probably be more enjoyable.

Honestly the mental fatigue you get from watching this team is next level.

Im happy if those three guys develop their games. Honestly cant bother anymore with the rest.

Extremely happy with the Christie development. The only bright spot this season imo.

max, connect are bright spots to look forward to. I really want Jj to get his guys. He’s in a tough spot. Was hired as a lapdog but imho has potential. Don’t trade picks.

Exactly the reason why the Lakers been a play-in team the last 2-3 seasons. They been trying to do the two timeline approach. I think being in the middle is probably the worse spot to be in. You rather go all-in or rebuild!

Then imo full rebuild is in order. This duo we have no matter what trades we make will still be reliant on a 40 year old to make plays in the post season every game.

Because our supposed best player cant bring it every game. Rebuild will never happen so the next best thing imo is be mediocre and force Lebrons hand to want out along with AD.

I still have hope, Bron and AD aren’t both going to play that bad, most of the time

Also, we can’t really afford to rebuild until after 2027, unless we go full tank

Teams would give a major haul for AD. He's the treasure. Hope kills you slowly. This team honestly doesn't deserve it. When all this is done it will be a damn near liberating experience. Basically been in no mans land sportwise with this team for a while now.

History this season has shown us this duo will have plenty more games they stink it up.

How many games hasn't AD had that directly contributed to us losing games this season? And Lebron is just old. In all honesty im tired of hearing about all the records i couldn't give a crap. Win the (bleep) games you're supposed to win. Cant even do that. Fact of the matter is this team needs Lebron to be about 10 years younger for us to be contenders. Hell he might even have to be Miami heat two way monster Lebron for this team to be legit.

Too many holes and our duo dont have the juice anymore.

AD for me as absolutely tainted my image of him this season.

They probably didn't want to be saddled with 3 years of Rui's contract I'm guessing? Objectively, Rui's hot and cold just like DLO was, but offers nothing else to this team. DLO could at least organize an offense even on a cold shooting night. Also, as much as DLO "disappeared" in the playoffs? He nearly doubled Rui's scoring output against Denver. This season was a crappy one for him though, and it's hard to hide a weak defender on a team with few defenders, so not surprised at the DLO trade.

So instead we still have One Rebound Rui. One third of the role player trio that provided a three stooge defense allowing any Mav to pick and choose any shot they wanted tonight. AR offers enough offense, hustle, and intangibles to justify starting. If we gotta hide someone, hide AR he earns his keep. Knecht is a rookie who can get a ton better, but he could use some G League/training session time. Rui should be a Net or Jazz player by now, but unfortunately his contract is far from expiring.

I'm leaning towards not trading the picks as well. No defense and a 40 year old running the offense. I think win-now buys us a second round exit.

Bron's probably just fatigued. He hasn't had a game off yet. He will dominate if he gets the appropriate rest so chill the (bleep) out, guys.

Have you guys already forgotten about the games he had after he had a long break from the IST? We just need to load manage him more often and rely on everyone else to win more games.

He plays with heart. But he's definitely getting picked on out there. They were attacking him mercilessly tonight.


It doesn't seem all physical to me (slow lateral movement, relatively fragile built) ... he looks lost a lot out there. Like he doesn't know where to go or what to do. I wonder why.

I watched the entire second half on FF! My plan was to revert to regular speed when the Lakers got within 4 points, but sadly, that never happened.

Playing a team, that was coming off a back-to-back game, that was missing their best two players should have been a win, but sadly, Lakers were unable to rise to the occasion.

Good thing the two best Mav's were out, Lakers might have lost by 40...!

Amazing how prolific the AD/Bron era has been at stringing together multiple losses these past few years. It's the difference between being in the playoffs comfortable versus being a playin squad. Show us you have a pulse and beat Charlotte. AD's new year resolution should have been, "We never want to lose more than 2 in a row again." LOL! His yearly resolution of never losing 2 in a row obviously hasn't been working.
