Game thread, cumulative…

[danfantastk32]

So for now, I would rather try to watch and enjoy every win and yes, there will be more frustrating disgusting losses along the way rather than whine and moan on why they chose this path.

I'm sick of watching the same movie. It's not fun to watch....knowing it's going nowhere. Knowing a rebuild is around the corner whether anyone likes it or not. Knowing that there are several teams who accepted their fate...went all in, and came out of the rebuild in fairly quick fashion. And came out exciting to watch, and better than most teams around.

I also know how inept this FO office is. This rebuild will prob be more painful that it has to be, no matter what they do. So you can tack a 25% moron tax to any rebuild they do. So getting rid of all our picks, for riff-raff who will NOT be getting us a title only means our normal 4-5 year rebuild, will prob be closer 6 or 7....making it around 9 after the tax. 9 years! It's gonna be a good 9 years of d*ckin around, with our picks gone. When it coulda been 3-or-4 had they played their cards right.

And for this?? This is enjoyable?? My man......we've beat the Grizz twice, and other than that, we haven't beat a team more than one or two games above .500! We're awful! I mean....I get it if we were exciting, or if we were legit challenging...but come on! Your really enjoying this?!?! Do you really think it somehow ends different this season?

I'm sorry, but hell no! This is a franchise just spiraling down the bowl. I refuse to accept it.

Aren't you glad you leave in a country where you a free to pick and choose which team to root for?
So feel free to pick another team dude and it's perfectly fine than God forbid, get an aneurysm from your frustration.
I am impressed with what the Clippers are doing but I just can't bring myself to cheer for them. I like to watch the Cavs play but still don't trust Garland in the playoffs and yes, I hope NY and some other team would eliminate Boston... but for now, I still stick to my team win or lose.

They need to trade Lebron and AD for as many picks they can get and start the full rebuild. What else?

Y'all know what a "No trade clause" Is right? Bron and Beal are the only ones In the league who have a "No trade clause" ... Let that sink In - don't believe me google It!

"A no-trade clause is a contractual clause that allows players to veto trades to certain teams. No-trade clauses are often worked into contract extensions and free-agent contracts as a perk for the players signing such deals."From google.

Bron will talk to the FO first about a trade If he wants one, which ATM he doesn't he moved to LA for his family and what not, so again let that sink IN (Edit Lakers gave Bron the No trade Clause, so I guess that part Is on them, maybe that's the reason why Bron decided on Lakers? ).

* Unless Bron decides to walk or maybe he wants to get traded to lets say; GSW to play with Curry OR Suns with KD Booker OR maybe Dallas Kyrie/Luka ... You still have to match any salary Bron Is earning and while getting pics back for Bron... Yeh ok good luck with that. Then you still have to, way In the other teams do they want this?? more then likely not.

If Bron wants out walks or decides to go to those teams (NO other teams will want him and Bron will say NO) then I'm all for It, never wanted him to begin with.

And If by any chance AD decides he also wants out maybe he doesn't want to play with out Bron, maybe he loses Interest In B-ball or what ever, maybe he decides hey Lakers still haven't gotten another BIG and I'm left playing the 5 24/7 then and only then I'll come back and talk about rebuild.

Until that happens, like I said enjoy all your rebuilds

One thing I do like Is that, when Bron walks/retires, Lakers SHOULD have enough capspace to sign another free agent star player and this Is another reason you don't trade AD, because what players will want to come to La then? and 2026 free agent list looks good go take a look. https://www.spotrac.com/nba/free-agents/_/year/2026/sort/contract_value

But ok once again enjoy your long painfull rebuilds. Now someone will come back, oh but, but what ever no Interest In any more talk on crappy rebuilds until either A Bron asks for a trade OR B AD comes out says he wants out or what ever- Lakers won't trade AD, but hey If does happen post Bron so be It, but not INterested In talking about It until that happens.

Let's all hope that Bron Is only playing 1 more year OR wants to be traded/walks, because I'm done with him and have been done with since the start, as y'all know I've never wanted him to begin with <> haters gonna hate.

Enjoy your long painful rebuild If that's what you want! I do not want It.

Wait....ditch the team I've loved and rooted for for 40 years, cause things suck right now? No thanks...sorry if that's how you roll.

Well I've told you prob 50 times that AD is where the value is. What Lebron does after we move AD is up to him. Totally get he has a no trade clause. I've accounted for it numerous times. I sort of assume he'll want to be moved if we were to announce a rebuild. But if he wanted to stay for this season and next...then we deal with it. He still has value on the floor, and can teach younger players.....so while it's not optimum, it could be worse.

That's never been a hang up....never will. Said it many times. Move AD - where the real value is, and let the Lebron chips fall where they may.

[danfantastk32]

You laugh now....but we just wasted 3 2nd-round picks on some chump player you were all in on. When that rebuild (we all know is coming) takes that much longer.....will you still laugh?

And I've told you prob50 times that Lakers are not going to trade AD unless he asks for it

have fun bud.

Never said they would....said they should. We both know this FO is far too stupid, and inept to make good choices. Yet they just made the choice you wanted......red flag on your plan??? Introspection is hard.....but give it a try.

I never said they should get DFS, not even once, I might have quoted that's what youtuber's ok with and was fine with getting him

All I wanted was to get rid of DLO and that's what I said and Lakers did that at long last hoohrah.

None the less what ever. all good.

I hate this team. I hate this team so much man because there is nobody to root for aside from Christie. I get sick to my **** stomach watching this team play.

I'm not where you are...but I hear it. It's a major disappointment. This team is completely ok with mediocrity...as long as the $$$ flows in. Our ownership and FO needs to be replaced. I am saddened that so many fans are ok with this. This team used to be something so much better.

it’s not their fault bec
1. Ham is a bad coach, oh wait he’ gone
2. DLo plays bad defense, oh wait…
3. it’s hard to win in the road… oh shoot they played here.
4. they’re tired, just played back to back, ummm, had 5 days rest.
5. Their top players are injured….ohh okay.

One of the biggest issues that is ignored with this team's construction was making Austin Reaves a feature player/3rd guy. He's never been that good of a player for them to basically guarantee him that spot. Now he's the lead guard on the team? This is not a serious basketball team in terms of competing deep in the playoffs. Enjoy what is left of this era.

[Hans1984]

That was a nice team effort. Six guys in double figures.

DLo revenge game tonight incoming?

Are you watching these games and his stat lines? 14 assists last game and 38 points tonight. Our front court just aint doing it, AD needs many games off for injury predictably, and a Christie/Reeves backcourt is odd. Max needs to still improve greatly, those he's flashed and Knecht is doing a disappearing act when he doesn't start.

[Hans1984]

Clippers beat that team by 59. Luckily AR had a great game.

[tamaraw08]

you mean Clippers beat this bad team by 59 and the Lakers needed AR to score 38 to win by 1 point?

[Jody Smokz]

Yes I am. Austin is playing well but he's overachieving. If he's the best guard on the team and our 2nd best guard is a toss up between Gabe Vincent and Max Christie then this team does not have a chance in the playoffs.
