  2. Andrew Winggins not worth it for all in Lakers limited draft asset and after LeBron need to asset sorry guys LeBron not deserve to 5 ring Winggins gives max three years top perfomance and to much injury potential high risk for 30 yo player i hope dont do this to LA and Pelinka

  3. Wiggins is so overrated related to his pay demands. not only will they have to trade pieces to get him they're going to have to give him like $25mill/year to keep him. it's so dumb.

  4. @JSM24

    You’re likely paying mid-$20 million for Wiggins or any legit 3&D wing, so I don’t get the hesitation. I love your videos, but a 3&D wing under 31, in their prime, who can shoot, dribble, is athletic, and has championship experience—you pay that price and figure the rest out later. That’s the reality of being the Lakers and competing in today’s NBA.

    Guys like Dalton Knecht, Maxi Kleber, or Gabe Vincent are replaceable. I’d trade whatever picks or filler it takes. Paying a wing in the mid-$20M range for a few seasons doesn’t hurt if you’re chasing a title.

    Smart teams aren’t stressing cap space—they build with proper salary slots and make it fit. The Lakers need to draft and sign cheaper talent to balance things out. That’s how you build a real contender.

  5. His salary is too high, so they don't need him.
    Also, he'll have limited time with the ball with the Lakers, so he won't be able to perform as well as he did with the Heat.

  6. They need to trade LeBron to warriors and give Draymond for Wiggins and pay whatever it is they need to make it happen or throw in lebrons son for boot

  7. Lakers should get wiggins even if it means a frp. Hes a perfect fit because lakers need a two way wing. And he can be there to step up when bron misses games.

  8. Why the hell didn’t we sign Malcom Brogdon he’s about to be a Knick or maybe already is, wtf why not LAL? Ffs it’s a damn vet minimum.

  9. Wiggins is perfect for what they need this season. And they can work with him to opt out and re-sign on a longer deal at a much smaller number. I wouldn’t give up an unprotected FRP for him though. I might give it up, lottery protected, with Gabe+Maxi but not Rui. Dalton, they can have.

  10. The Lakers Are not Signing a Max Contract Player in 2026 FA. they can Get Good role Players. Even If they sign Reaves to a 28 million per year Contract and Send out Rui/Kleber in a Wiggins Deal.

  11. Please don’t get that boy. He soft. A chick leave him and he not showing up. Plus LeBron got him traded out of Cleveland a long time ago.

  12. No. Andrew Wiggins is not a player that’s going to move the needle. I do t understand the hype over him. It’s been a long summer of BS.

  13. I would consider a FRP, if it had adequate protections. Absolutely NO to including Rui, in any potential packages. Rui+Knecht+(filler)+FRP, for Wiggins, is robbery, imo. 🙅🏿‍♂

  14. Looking at the contracts they have this year, kinda crazy how many people they have under contract at like half price. Based on that, the team should be stacked right? Like basically next year the team is going to lose LeBron and not gain any cap space if they resign people for real prices, so that's kinda wild

  15. Need to try trading Austin Reaves to Portland and receive Thybulle and a 1st then use a 1st and Dalton to go get Wiggins

  16. I wouldnt want to move Rui. If it involves Gabe, Kleber, and DK plus a pick then Im all for it.

    Lets keep Rui because its hard to find at 6’8 3 level scorer that can shoot 40% from 3 in the reg szn and playoffs.

  17. 9:33 I totally agree @@JSM24 I want to propose a Trey Murphy trade instead of Wiggins. May not be a proven playoff performer, but they’re making almost the same salary, Murphy is on the younger side and you could say, offers more length than Wiggins

  18. With the salary cap, it’s better if the lakers target someone on the cheaper end who ideally also fits Luka’s timeline like a Highsmith or Ayo or Nesmith.

  19. There is no point in releasing RUI and acquiring Wiggins. If you can get Louis without releasing it, the Lakers will win.
