Don’ be a Sabo while chasin’ 4 rings in LA: 2021-22 GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers season thread

[ALonelyDad]

He is their new white savior. They'll eventually turn on him once LeBron's no longer a laker and they can't scapegoat him anymore.

You are acting like klutch sports has not done this everywhere. Yes Rob had the ultimate sign off but LeBron is crying currently about not trading for wall, what would he do if Rob said no to Russ?

LeBron and klutch have always gone public when the GM goes against them. Cavs had to give out bad deals to Tristan Thompson and JR smith because of it.

Even Riley drafted Napier because of him. Very naive to think LeBron doesn’t have a say

You’re retiring with LWO but you find enjoyment in Bron extracting all the franchises resources and leaving us with nothing but passive aggressive deflection

I find enjoyment in you Bron haters seething

As a new Laker fan I understand that a chip is worth a rebuilding period

 

[CantStop]

Rob hasn’t been great but to blame him for the Westbrook trade when Bron and AD were pushing for it is strange considering we see how they operate when things don’t go their way. The trade deadline was a week ago and there’s been 5+ reports of how unhappy Klutch is. If Rob doesn’t make that trade for Russ, how many reports would have come out in the 3 month offseason? It would have been way worse than what you are seeing now. This is why teams always succumb to his requests. Honestly can’t wait for dude to be gone. If Bron was in Cleveland, he would have tried to trade Garland and Mobley for win now and leave in 2 years.

LeBron got one foot out over not trading for a washed up Wall but he would be fine if Pelinka chose Buddy Hield over Russ

how you root for LeBron and don’t know how he has operated his whole career?

 

[Sinnerman]

I honestly wouldn't even try to trade Russ this summer if it means giving up those picks

Both Russ and Bron come off the books next year. Trade AD and we can begin a rebuild

I think it’s the fact that they didn’t do anything that pissed him off

Their best asset was THT, Nunn (a guy who has not played all year), and a 2027 pick which will be a lottery pick, you don't give that pick up for a bad player

CP3 out for 6-8 weeks

This is why you don't give up on the season when you have Lebron/AD.......The Lakers could make a deep playoff run.

Buddy heild wasn't the move either. still a better option than trading for russ tho

The buyout market is pretty quiet seems like

At this point this is the only thing to look forward to. Get in the playoffs and see what happens.

Just kinda wish they had last years team.

Up 2-1 and had a half time lead...And Bron wasnt even great during those 3 games. Just rusty AD killing them

So worried about Brooklyn this offseason

Bron was still hurting and not looking like himself from the ankle. The rest of the team was shooting like 20 percent from 3. And they still had a 2-1 lead over a Finals team by destroying them inside with AD-Bron pick and roll.

Healthy they win the chip for sure.

Nikkas have been embarrassing themselves with these Buddy Hield rehashes. Swear that nikkas Derozan.

The move was to run it back or (in hindsight) get Demar.
