How Worried Should Luka Doncic & LeBron Be About Lakers’ Lackluster Free Agency? | Rich Eisen Show

the Los Angeles Lakers.
Lakers,
a lot of people here in Los Angeles, um, a quote ascribed to their general manager, Rob Pelinko, or at least a plan that they’re, you know, lying in the weeds here because they’re trying to create the cap space to sign a max player type player, big- time max player in 2027, 20 27. Well, again, if that is the strategy and LeBron heard about that strategy, that’s where Rich Paul’s statement comes in. Don’t you think? I do think.
Don’t you think?
I do think like if there you if if a birdie is telling I I have a feeling LeBron has some feelers in the building down the street. You know, I don’t know if his spidey sense just hit him, but if in fact that is true that the Lakers are creating cap space that they’re operating now to make sure 2027 is open for them. This is, you know, 2025.
That’s that’s way this is this is not what LeBron wants to hear. But the Portland Trailblazers may come to the rescue. Why would they why would I pick that team out of the blue? Well, they bought out DeAndre Aiden. And people are going nuts over this photograph of DeAndre Eaton uh flying coming out of a PJ in Jamaica, which is the 876 area code reference that’s up there with the Jamaican flag on his Instagram um story. Uh Jason Feller, would you care to take a look at that photograph and see the hat on top of his head?
What does that look like to you? Oh, seems like a teammate of mine there. That’s a Dodger hat.
Interesting.
And folks are saying that right there is an indication, a tip that he’s going to be a Laker.
No, there’s the Clippers out here, too. Yeah, but
but you’re you’re you’re full up at that position now that you took Brook Lopez, who some Laker fans were thinking
that could be a nice signing for the Lakers here.
Oh, were they upset they didn’t get him?
They should be. Oh yeah,
that’s a shame.
I think a lot of teams wanted a Brook Lopez,
Chris, to quote Jerry Seinfeld.
That’s a shame. That’s a shame.
What do you think, DeAndre Eaton here? Is that an answer?
I I think that’s a foregone conclusion that he’s going to come.
You think so? Yeah. It always works out in their
They got to overpay to get him. I mean, he’s a guy who can rebound, shot block, give you 10 to 15
coming out of Portland is that they’re they’re like, don’t let you know, they were very happy to buy him out.
They were a lot of reports of his behavior up there. They were not fans. Not happen. So, I mean, JJ Reic’s going to have to light a fire under him. Behavior. I mean, if you can’t if you can’t not act up in Portland, what you going to do when you come to LA if behavior is a problem, right?
Onc court behavior. Also,
you can show them the ropes or locker room behavior.
Well, yeah, that that
what like slamming chairs when you get stuffed out or something like that and sulking and all that stuff. Yeah, sulking and slamming chairs. That’s not uh that’s not great.
Not great. Not great. Not great body language. Hey, 723 though, bro.
Guess what got him?
He’s welcome.
Guess what got him? A buyout.
Yeah.
Here’s gajillions of dollars to get out of here.
Leave.
What the hell is happening? And go to Los Angeles
and go to Yeah. And go play with LeBron and Luca. That’ll show you.
What kind of reward is that
for now?
Yeah.
They’re on the roster today.
Who? LeBron.
LeBron and Luca.
Chris,
if I’m Luca Donic, right? And then I hear, “Hey, the plan is for 2027. We’re going to get me out of here.”
But he’s the one that’s going to be they’re they’re the one that they’re building for him
in three seasons.
Yeah.
In three off seasons from now. What?
But they’re building for him.
We get together, have a few left.
Get me out of here. The East is weak.
Come to the Sixers.
Get me anywhere other than here.
He’s not going anywhere. He’s not going anywhere.
Look, we can hope. I I don’t want him here.
Yeah. I don’t want
I don’t want to I like him. I don’t want to root for him. Not going to boo this man.
No, you’re going to
He’s not going anywhere. LeBron’s not going anywhere. And the person who’s going to make sure that happens is the one who just gave all that money to the Bus family. Catch the Rich Eisen Show live weekdays from 12 to 3:00 p.m.
