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.

Being coach, gm and player is taxing. He’s smart. Play longer than everyone, set unbreakable records and carry none of the blame.

Hey, we were just the 4th seed. Let’s not lose hope. We have been playing well.

I think we need another scorer and a center.

Period.

Without that, we will keep dropping.

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

Problem is we have so many guys that can be picked on. AR, Knecht, Rui, Hayes, Bron when he’s not engaged

We need to weed out two of those guys, minimum

Ok, so why are we losing games? Can’t blame DLo anymore. He’s not here to get hunted on defense and he’s not here to take bad shots.


With DLo gone, other teams saw if they could get similar results by hunting Reaves.

They need a solid Upper Tier player to step up when LeBron and Davis aren't playing well.

To get that type of player, they will need to aim higher and send out more/better assets than they did for DFS.

Are we still in the race for Cam Johnson? If we can manage to somehow get both him and Kessler we’d be in a better spot


We wasted our best trade asset on a redundant player so probably not.

An 18mil expiring contract is NOT a better asset than an unprotected first


You can't just trade first round picks. You have to attach contracts to them to make the salaries work. Without DLO's contract it's now much more difficult to make a significant trade.

Yep how is phoenix working out in the stand lol. Clueless…


Better net rating than the Lakers. Lakers are 4th from the bottom in the West.

Ikr. He’s plenty mad during games. Kobe mellowed out in his final years too

I don’t think it’ll matter too much if the contracts we send expire in 2026 instead of this off-season. This season’s FA class looks poor

Vando’s contract is the only one that we probably can’t trade

Truth. I dont get why people want to give up the picks. Rob is a (bleep) genius for holding on to them. He saw what it took time for people to see. We ain't legit.


I think the picks haven't been moved because the right deal hasn't been offered, not because Rob is a genius.


Whatever it was...good that it didn't happen.

Of course. I said as much. The laughing on the bench during cavs loss is equally as fine.

I don't think that Rui will play much better coming off the bench.

He is who he is and they just don't have enough talent to really limit his minutes.

I didn't catch the Cavs laughter so without context that's like whatever. But after regular season loss #8zillion in his career I'm not expecting him to go cry in the corner afterwards. It really is just basketball and they'll either be in the mix at the end of the season or they won't. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Well they wont be in the mix but the bright spot about this season is that Christie will make huge strides in his development!

Couldn't really care less abut what Lebron or AD do. If they want to laugh gettng destroyed by 20 against a depleted dallas team that says more about their mentality.

Plus it's only been like 35 games and they are in 5th-6th seed.... Most of these vets don't really start caring until after the ASB...

No one is expecting him to cry or care. It’s just basketball. It’s just a video that popped up on feed.

On top of all that it's J.R. Smith who has a long history with him and they were doing the old hand shake from when they were teammates. Is he supposed to tell J.R. to go eff himself and pretend to be mad at a random RS game? Dude is 40 years old and has played more Seasons then many of the Younger players in the league have been alive.

It's not the greatest thing to see but far from any kind of problem.

I agree. The Lakers need to move some of these guys for two way talent.

I'm not specifically saying they need to move Reaves, Rui or Dalton. But they need to offer up something to get something in return. And right now, those guys can get played off the court... Or in the case of Austin he can't really get played off the court because there's a steep drop off after him at guard.
