Looking like another wasted year in LA. Just been beating up on the bottom feeders.

As long as Bronold is running LA the Lakers won't change.

Well they made a ton of cash off Bronny Jersey sales. That's all that matters to their owners.

Who are we to stand in their way ? Well unless you are a Lakers fan obviously lol

I don't think Lebron is doing his legacy any favours fwiw seemingly let his legendary career seemingly go ringless as long as his kid gets a shot at the big time

Loving this scenario as a Celtics fan BTW, hoping we can put a 2 chip/ring gap (hopefully more) on the Fakers.

Idk if I'd say it's a wasted year, the team they have at maxed out value is a round 1 team, anyone who thought anything more is fooling themselves.

Lakers need a real C, put AD to the 4 and lean into being a dominant twin tower defensive team. They dont have the roster to be a great offense but there is a path to being a great defense

Can any laker fan out there explain to me why your organization is still trying to pretend that scam reddish is a valid basketball player

Dlo is a clown. His 3 point form changes on every single shot. I'd kill myself if I had to watch this guy on my favorite team

The trade that needs to happen is Lebron. Yes they got the mickey mouse ring(discussion for a different time) but as someone who has watched the Lakers from the other side all of his life, the Lakers standard is not 1 title then just middle of the pack to please 1 star. The Lakers standard is dynasty or bust. This isn't a knock on LA cause I love to see them fail as a Suns fan btw.

He's one of the 1-3 GOATs in the history of the game and he got a title playing for them. ofc theyre gonna retire his jersey. They want Lebron as connected to the Lakers as possible

That's wild. I guess cause he broke the total career points record in that jersey but AD has done more for LA than LBJ has.
