  1. This was a terrible trade. 3 future picks just for some bum who barely puts up 10 a night, and not even consistently? Look at his last game, 2 pts. Is 2 pts really gonna help us? Not only that, but he ain’t even efficient at his scoring usually shooting sub 45%. What a joke. We needed a 15 a night player that shoots efficiently and can guard well and has playoff experience. Also this dood is 31, he’s already past his prime almost.

  2. My only concern with this trade and the shooters that come to the team is that their percentage goes down tremendously when they step under the bright lights of LA ( Malik Beasley, torian prince, Gabe Vincent, dlo, Christian woods) they forget how to shoot

  3. Trade does not make sense. You're losing 3 point shooting to gain 3 point shooting. That cancels itself out. You losing playmaking to gain defense. That cancels itself out. So youre literally not gaining any net gain and giving away 3 second rd picks… And now you're forced to use LeBron as your only actually good playmaker. Everyone else is not playmakers, just shot creators. Making Bron the team's only playmaker again at 40 years old is not a good way to win and a bad look for pelinka. He need to figure out how to get a real playmaker and if he does then this trade would look decent.

  4. Nothing in the world is wrong with D lo but LeBron cramping his style. Why won't somebody tell LeBron he's not a point guard and just play your position.

  5. This entire video feels like Travis is trying to convince us of something that we don’t see. I feel like this is a low-grade version of the Christian Wood scenario

  6. Anyone else find it weird that the Lakers seem to be bad but are higher ranked and have a better record than this time last year?

  7. DLo is too much of a star to be a role player and too inconsistent to be a star. I like DFS because he'll add real 2 way talent on a role player level. That being said, Lakers need another sign at the least to move the needle.

  8. What's funny to me is Rui's dfg numbers looked not much different than DFS when he first joined the Lakers.
    Then we realized DLO and AR, two guys that can't defend and Bron who doesn't play defense anymore is too much to cover for 😂

    Also this season Rui has the best def rating on the Lakers with quite a gap. During the stretch where Lakers have been playing their best defense (#1 in the NBA), Rui has been playing the most minutes. For those who strongly believe Rui is the problem defensively 🤣

  9. Vando, Vincent, JHS, and two firsts for Kessler and Sexton!

    Starters

    PG Austin Reaves
    SG Max Christie
    SF LeBron James
    PF Anthony Davis
    C Walker Kessler

    Bench

    PG Collin Sexton
    SG Dalton Knecht
    SF Rui Hachimura
    PF Dorrian Finney Smith
    C Jaxon Hayes

  10. Schroeder, Ellington, Beasley, Mcelmore, Nunn, Prince, Vincent, Reddish, JTA, Beverley, Dinwiddie, Thomas Bryant, Stanley Johnson, Danny Green, Gasol, Ariza, Collison, DJ Augustin, Lonnie Walker, and Matt Ryan all had career years from 3 the season before they signed or the season they were traded to the Lakers…

  11. Reaves isn't a starting caliber point guard if he is he's bottom 7ish
    He's only better than Conley, Anthony Black, Keonte George, Giddey, Poole, maaaaaybe Herro
