A King and an Empire: The Official GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2018-19 season

The proof is in the way they played when he was out injured.

They LOST. They lost so much they went from top four to not even mentioned at all.

Everybody and they mama knew that when Lebron signed on the dotted line that the terms “Building the young core” “potential” “high ceiling” etc were out the door. Lebron isn’t someone you sign to mentor young teammates, you sign him to win championships, and win them NOW. That fact alone should’ve put Zo, Bi, and Kuz on alert that it was put up or shut up time. What did they do to accelerate their growth?

Zo still can’t shoot worth shyt and is a terrible finisher

Kuz is hot and cold

Bi let his rashness and hot-headed decision making lose him precious games/minutes at the start of the season.


This is LA. The home of showtime. The home of Magic/Kareem and Shaq/Kobe. Not the home of letting young players “fugure it out” like the Mighty Ducks. To win a championship in the modern NBA you need at least two SUPERSTARS. Lebron is one and they aggressively went after AD to get the other. Simple as that. Bi, Kuz, and Zo together ain’t winning NO championships, hell they aren’t even a playoff squad

Embarrassing.

A day and a half before I can breathe easy

AD is worth a lot more than Kuz, BI and Lonzo. Losing Rondo, KCP, Bease etc are non-factors to me. They aren't going to be here next year.

Your username is GreatestLaker with a ring in your avi. Tell us how many great rings the Lakers ever won by making desperate trades?

We need to target that 6 or 7 more realistically that 7 spot to have a shot at advancing in the playoffs, that’s if we even make it. Our biggest win streak of the year I think is 4, our best month is 10-4. A lot of work to do and the reality is this trade has to happen now, sadly our current locker room is at a point of no return, the damage is done

 

[Haliax]

Lakers will get to the playoffs just fine.

Brad turner from LA times gets his info directly from magic you fukking Bron groupie

These stans are hilarious. All I see them do is blame Magic these days.

It looks like Clippers are punting on the rest of the season so that helped a lot. If they can get their shyt together after the deadline I think they can easily get the 8th. I just wonder if the 7th spot is too far away.

Agreed

Is scoopB a legit reporter? Keeps trying to say the sun's/Orlando deperate to get ball in a ad deal

 

[Sinnerman]

I thought this AD nonsense was done already

He was the first to report the Bullock/Svi deal yesterday

tbh agreed. it's just that fakkit Dell Demps is being feminine and has changed this asking price to include a bunch of picks.

I thought that was the case before the injuries happened. Even with Bron coming back, I thought we'd be fine and make up some games in the standings. But then this fukkin sloppy ass shyt with AD started and you can see cats frustrated and checked out. This should have been done behind the scenes and was very sloppily handled by Magic, Rob, Bron, and Rich Paul. I believe we could have ridden the season out and gotten to the playoffs, get the young guys some needed playoff experience, THEN go for whomoever during the summer.

Now, especially once this all falls thru, the trust is totally gone with Bron and Management. How am I gonna look at you as our leader on the floor when you, your boy, and management all tried to get us traded for a dude you were actively recruiting with your teammates as collateral. All that camaraderie and shyt out your mouth was a farce the whole time.

And why even delay the inevitable after the trade deadline passes....just fire Luke now. We all know he's gone this summer.

It'd be one thing if you knew Bron wasn't involved in pulling the strings behind the scenes, but we know you involved. Don't be a fukkboi, be straight up with me.

 

[Rekkapryde]

I mean what Zo gonna do if he's traded to the Pelicans. When he's a restricted free agent, I'm sure they'd match. shyt's stupid
