Maybe but they won a championship so whatever happens next was worth it

this is what I keep trying to tell a couple of Lakers fans I know. But they are under the assumption they can still trade for stars. They gave up a haul got for AD and for a ring...but they won’t have a lot of assets to trade for in the future.

Well when they brought lebron there it should've been understood that they had to do everything possible to win now....
To me it never made sense to worry about the assets.....
When now or in the future what difference does I t make?
If you have the chance to use them for something big like they did for AD .....use them

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
I wouldn’t have cared about the future then or now, but they had to have more of an assumption that AD could be a #1 option, and potentially be one in the absence of LeBron. I don’t think that’s very likely. Idk how long Bron plans on playing, but they’re pretty much stuck with riding those two out, scouting well in the draft, and praying they can keep on convincing good players to come for dirt
the latter seems fairly unlikely after seeing the tragedy that was the management of their center position. Somehow failed to get anything much out of all 3

Agreed, but I do feel like if you keep Ingram or D'lo and maybe trade Kuzma instead for AD you're still in the playoffs right now and still in contention for another chip.

No because lakers lost of injuries. AD/Bron injured Dlo or Ingram still aint enough
Idk man, picture Ingram giving you 20-25 in Kuzma's spot. I don't think y'all lose that series.
if you keep ingram instead of Kuzma, you either
1 - never get AD because NO wanted Ingram
or
2 - Lose Ingram in a year anyway because the salary cap exists and you don't have 158 million to pay him while also paying AD his max and extending Lebron
seems ya'll always overlook the fact that Kuzma's 2 million dollar deal is the sole reason he wasn't included in the deal, aside from the fact that the Pelicans coveted BI

Most laker fans wanted Kuz gone. Hell we were saying Hart>>Kuz but for some reasonn the media loved Kuz and made it sound like he was a future starIdk man, picture Ingram giving you 20-25 in Kuzma's spot. I don't think y'all lose that series.
This is not how the salary cap works, Ingram's bird rights would have allowed the Lakers to go way over the cap to resign him. Instead, they'd be unable to make certain signings like acquiring Dwight, Schroeder or Trez (I believe they'd still have Rondo, Danny Green signings because they came in for MLE.)

a lot of our fanbase is responsible for this
fire him why?
because the team was injury prone during a shortened season with the shortest off season ever? (after a championship season)
as a lakers fan, you nikkas are embarrassing sometimes. Overreactions everywhere
