Are we meant to forget that it was Lebron and AD that championed....if not demanded that we throw away a TON of talent/picks/options to get Brick??? And then we had to further hand out our future to get rid of him. We're just gonna gloss over that?

The MOMENT we made that deal, the window had been closed....we just didn't know it then. We lost youth/picks getting that piece of *** - and we lost youth/picks dumping him. That was our fatal wound. So AD and Lebron can suck a fat one, as far as I'm concerned. If they wanna get traded.....I'll go carry their luggage to the airport.

90% of people on youtube and other places are rooting for a Kessler trade ...

Great win vs Celtics today, Loved seeing AD being mad at REFS was refreshing.

Hope I wake up one day with Lakers trade for a BIG - anything not named Jonas LOL

Many thanks for Clippers for taking Celtics to OT and getting them tired :)

AD speaking out - Love It.

Edit: Even though Lakers have Hayes/Koloko/Trey It's clear they're not legit back up big another reason AD speaking out, I'd love to kee 1 of these 3 guys but only after getting a legit back up BIG :)

The only problem with him roaming around more while playing the four, is that he gets injured more often

LBJ the GM has blown all credibility. Ignore his ideas.

AD needs to not be ignored.

It’s always been stupid not to let the best defensive PF since Duncan, be a PF. AD is one of the best low post help defenders ever. He’s a top 5 C, too, but as a roaming help defender PF he’s a monster.

I even want to see him at SF. What a mismatch.

Ainge needs to realize the Celtics dumped him. He needs revenge. It’ll feel good to help the Lakers, Danny!

Sometimes you just have to over pay to get what you want, just sometimes:) ... Something Is coming.

Lot's of talks are going on. I'm fine with 1 of; Kessler/Turner/Poeltl. Edit: Now that Vando Is back won't need AD at SF (see what you mean though)... But AD with someone along the lines of the 3 above would be damn nice ... Kessler/AD/Vando nice front court :) esp If you need defense.

Which leads me to believe this front office won't go for him now
Pat Riley has a soft spot for the Lakers like Jerry West did and will give them Jimmy B to help the Lakers win another ship without giving up any top picks.

Jimmy for Gabe whom they want back so badly along with fillers Rui/Reddish/Shake/Wood/JSH along with their trade exception for salary matching.

AD/DFS/LeBron/Jimmy/AR as their new starting 5 with team insurance that Jimmy would NEVER come off the bench which will piss him off like the Heat was trying to do.

There is NO WAY to beat the Celtics in a 7 game series without playoff Jimmy and you know it!

AD suffered an Abdominal Strain and only played 10 minutes in the awful lost to a badly depleted Sixers team.
Im guessing he’ll be out indefinitely and the question now is, will Rob finally pull the trigger so they can stay afloat or they punt the season away and waste LeBron’s year?

Lebron's year?? What about the fan's year? I'm sorry...but this team cut it's own head off the moment they signed Brick. And that was squarely on Lebron and AD's shoulders. So screw them, and their year. They're gettin paid 50 million no matter what happens. It's us poor fans....having to watch this pathetic garbage (and paying for it!!!) that deserve some sympathy! When is this FO gonna give it a rest, and free us from this insanity?!

Not sure how long he's going to be out, and according to Lebron he's going to be fine. But is clear that they need a legit backup at the 5, though. There are plenty of options that would work: Kessler, Vuc, Timelord, Turner etc. With the defensive versatility they have with guys like AD, Vando and DFS i think they could get just about anyone to work.

Really cant fathom why they haven't done anything yet.

Trade suggestion from Bobby Marks on ESPN.
Los Angeles Lakers receive:
Myles Turner

Indiana receives:
Rui Hachimura
2029 top-5 protected first

Toronto receives:
Jalen Hood-Schifino
2029 second from Portland

This would be pretty amazing. Myles would secure 48 mins of elite rim protection and allow AD to get time at the 4.

Would still have 2nd rounders, another 1st, Gabe, Knecht and fillers to make a run at either a guard or wing.

Obviously not just Lebron's year but also the whole team and it's fans too :roll: . This team have just have about 2 year window to win it all and we've been over this. :roll:
I freaking get it :banghead: , you think there is NO TRADE that can help this team to win it all but I disagree.
You make it sound that James is so over the hill that he is throwing bricks and just putting up empty stats etc.
Not sure if you know that he has a higher current season ave than most of his career ave including FG%, 3pt FG%, FT%, Rebs with 9 assists/game.
This team got eliminated by a team in the playoffs with 3 of those losses by an ave of less than 4pts/game, 2 games by 2 points.
And that is with a lazy defender in DLo who is useless when he can't shoot and replacement him with DFS, a pretty good versatile defender who can hit those open 3's
While I agree that Rob shouldn't just trade those valuable picks for questionable players, I do believe that there is a trade out there that can significantly help their chances albeit with very few options.
One is Myles Turner who can really defend and space the floor.

If they couldn't get Turner or Kessler, then yes, don't give up those 2 picks for sure.
