From Reddit, but here's what's happened under the FO since Lebron coming here:
• Lebron wanted to come here in free agency, so really just had to do the paperwork for 4yrs/$154 million. A relative steal that fell in the Lakers' lap compared to deals being done today
• Traded Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr to the Cavaliers for Isaiah Thomas, Channing Fry, and a 2018 FRP (Moritz Wagner). Terrible trade
• Traded cash and 2019 SRP (Bruno Fernando) to the 76ers for a 2018 SRP (Isaac Bonga). Waste of assets for a failed 1 yr experiment on Bonga, who was a questionable acquisition to begin with
• Traded Svi Mykhailiuk and a 2021 SRP (Luka Garza) to the Pistons for Reggie Bullock. A bust as Bullock immediately declined and lasted a year
• Traded Ivica Zubac and Michael Beasley to the Clippers for Mike Muscala. Another early disastrous trade
• Traded cash and a 2020 SRP (Paul Reed) to the Magic for a 2019 SRP (Talen Horton-Tucker). Lost assets to draft THT who didn't pan out and was later traded
• AD wanted to come here, and probably could have signed him without losing assets in free agency, but will give them credit for making it happen with BI, Lonzo, Hart and three FRPs
• Traded Danny Green and a 2020 FRP (Jaden McDaniels) to the Thunder for Dennis Schroder. Lost assets for a 1yr rental of Schroder and begins the ongoing struggle to sign a quality PG/backup PG
• Traded JaVale McGee and a 2026 FRP to the Cavaliers for Jordan Bell and Alfonzo McKinnie. Another blunder and starts the still existing issue today of finding a quality backup center
• Traded Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Montrezl Harrell and a FRP for Westbrick, and three SRPs. Absolutely awful trade Rob should have been fired for
• Traded Marc Gasol, 2024 second-round pick and cash to the Grizzlies for the draft rights to Wang Zhelin. Gasol was washed but Drummond replaced him at center, who he also later lost, for a center position Rob is still struggling to fill. Who knows if Wood even plays this year
• Traded draft rights to Brad Newley and Wang Zhelin to the Knicks; Traded Rajon Rondo to the Cavaliers; Received draft rights to Louis Labeyrie from the Knicks. Could have still used Rondo as a backup PG, a position that still can't effectively be filled
• Traded cash and a 2028 2RP to the Magic for a 2022 2RP (Max Christie). Good trade thanks to our scouting team finding Max
• Traded Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson to the Jazz for Patrick Beverley. Lost 2 assets for a 1 year rental of Pat Bev
• Traded Kendrick Nunn, a 2023 SRP, a 2028 SRP, and a 2029 SRP to the Wizards for Rui Hachimura. Good trade but Nunn was a questionable choice to sign to begin with
• Traded Westbrick, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damian Jones and a 2027 FRP to require D'Lo + Beasley, and Vando. Lost more assets to fix a mistake that shouldn't have been done in the first place. Beasley flames out, and Vando has been injured
Each time Rob has tried to replace someone from the 2020 Championship team onward after failing to resign them or letting them walk it has almost always made things worse:
Rondo to Schroeder to Westbrick
KCP to Monk to Beasley to TP
Kuzma to Melo to Rui
Dwight to Drummond to Wood
Caruso to THT to Pat Bev
Not to mention the other failed experiments: Ariza, Isiah Thomas, Dion Waters, Reddish, Wesley Matthews, etc.
Just criminal amounts of asset mismanagement. Not to mention 6 different coaches in the last 10 yrs. The fact Rob wasn't fired years ago just shows he and Jeanie are not serious people
