If they're committed to winning, get Lauri and kessler at all cost. Plus get sexton, familiarity for the 3 players, plus bring back rj davis and DBazley once healthy (better than Vando)
Well it's all his fault anyways, there was no need for him to be loyal to any orgainization after what Mavs did to him. He should not have signed the extension with the Lakers. He could've easily joined Giannis in the weaker eastern conference, win an MVP and possibly a ring.
They just don’t look like they can match other team’s intensity & will to play every play. We look slow, not athletic & not physical!. Looked baffled out there, Ayton was non reactive & doesn’t take care of ball & AR was MIA until last 4 minutes! They looked tired & it’s only the first game!
JJ Riddick needs to be fired ASAP. I would give Rob Pelinka one year to put a championship team together and if he doesn’t I would fire him as well. Can somebody please explain to me why you would acquire a talent like Luca and put this inadequate coaching staff together? Are you going to wait until he’s past his prime to put a real coaching staff together because this head coach is not going to cut it. I know the Dodgers are in the World Series but this ownership needs to step in now.
need to trade reaves for a consistent 3pt threat its painful having to watch vanderbilt or someone who has no business taking 3s being the 3pt shooter to be open when luka draws the double team
The two main factors for LA's loss: 1) poor free throw shooting and 2) poor 3 point shooting. In every other stat, the either matched or bettered the Warriors.
Lakers need wings who can defend. This roster has too many defensive liabilities. If you look hopeless against an avg west team then there's no reason to second guess what you have to do.
They are playing dumb basketball, plain and simple. No smart plays, no actual playmaking, just letting the game come to them with lacking defense every single damn possession. I was watching both games at the same time and man, you can see the difference in basketball quality. It was a one man show, nobody else showed up other than Marcus. Hachimura played good but didn't got involved enough either.
OMG i hope luca heals fast ! Here's what we learned from the lakers lost last night. Their preseason record was not a lusion, they're not ready.They really suck right now JJ got a lot of work Rob has a lot of work . It's my opinion. There are only 3 players on the team that are worth keeping Luca. Marcus and Reeves the rest is hot Garbage No, telling when the king will be coming back. And when he does, I'm pretty sure he's gonna want to be traded so they should go ahead and trade him now. And get something for him.
Luka went on the basketball court in 2023 to score 71 points in a game against the hawks. The hawks had a solid defensive team 2023 but this man Luka doncic wants to win and not lose he wants to win every single game and win a chip not many players have this mentality
They are a 500 club guys. Relax As far as you die hard laker, fans such as myself. It's gonna be a long year. But it's okay the offseason's coming, and you know who will be off the team
I just feel bad that Pelinka will never get him the team he needs . Hopefully new owners will clean house with Jeannie and Pelinka and the Rambis couple
Can't wait for the lakers to finally build a team around him in 3 or 4 years, and trade him, while Luka giving his best years to the organization, the only good pick up was Smart, Ayton is inconsistent, Laravia is an nba player of the league. I don't expect him to win a chip with this roster, Luka has to drop 40 every game to be a playoff team, sure he might win mvp, but that's not gonna help in the playoffs.
I usually give Luka shit for his non-existent effort on the defensive end, but I have to give props when props are due: Luka really dug in on the defensive side of the ball this game. It made a SIGNIFICANT difference, and was really a joy to watch.

augustas can be a mold as the next AR but with a much control. Dixon can be Rui but more on offensive fire power.
Lakers should’ve traded AR and Rui. Stock is declining

Oubre for Vando pls, assigned bronny to gleague and get someone who's ready to play and contribute

Why is vando so bad on the offensive end like damn you a whole ass proffesional , and ayton cant hold on to a ball to save his life
Once again Luka carried the team nobody else help and fuck steph curry and the warriors I can't wait till LeBron come back
Get luka some help
SPEAK ENGLISH you dumb reporters at the end!!!!!!!!!!
Bro we suck ass
lights are too bright in LA for role players
I don’t understand why JJ didn’t call for a double team on Curry
If luka says hmmm about team chemistry than its not that great…if its average he says good…and of its good he says great
Lakers fans are pretty much the same as cowboys fans. Loyal but Extremely Delusional…..Lakers Suck
Trade Austin for a good 2 way player
lakers should be happy luka is skinny
So Bron not playing.. Who will you blame now?? Lakes/Kobe/Bron haters fans ?😎

we gotta move jaxon to the starting 4 with lebron out for a actual lob threat
Hope the groin's ok!

Same old lakers. Luka can not save the team from inexperience, and bad coaching/management…
luka's prime years about to be wasted

Ayton, however, still has a long way to go.
Luka Needs to Score 82 points in a Game 🎮 hit 20 three pointers !!! There are STILL Doubters !!! ✅
We need LeBron back to help
