not sure if this is a controversial take, but Lakers need to trade Lebron.
We aint got no depth and this team has no structure to be functional as a lebron team. Lebron is not and will never adjust to those around him and we're far away from having a team that can work with him.
Russ doesn't have enough value to trade without attaching picks. I don't want to sell low on AD. That means we should sell on Lebron, get some damn defensive or shooting depth or maybe picks and at the very least have a better year next year. It would be better for him too, he can go compete with a team that he can play better with. I don't really give a shyt, but this isn't working.
This might be out of spite because high-key lebron teams are just depressing when they're not doing well. all the blame just goes to the supporting cast and coaches and it's just a miserable fukking season. this year was, last year was, and his first year was. we were were shyt with the young core at least there was some hope, but these last 4 years every negative thing just feels amplified.
I'm also tired of Klutch. KCP, who was good for us, got overpaid. THT was overpaid. We bring in guys like JR Smith on that finals run and lucky it doesn't bite us in the ass. Their finger prints are shyt never works long term.
Got idiots all over the internet that don't understand why we picked THT over Caruso; THT a klutch client. We would have done fukk all with Caruso too btw because he doesn't give enough spacing wise. The team construction is just shyt, but at least Caruso was our fukking guy.
We aint got any fukking home grown talent left after 4 years. How do you draft Randle/Clarkson/Lonzo/Kuzma/Ingram/Caruso/Bryant/Zubac/Nance/Caruso/DLo and end up with none of them by the end man. That shyt is wildly unnecessary, the management is so garbage since we lost Dr. Buss. They got no long term vision nor ability to retain players. Our longest tenured player is fukking Lebron then AD/THT, god damn.
