The Lakers Have A LeBron Problem…

The LA Lakers are struggling right now and I think they have a LeBron James problem around Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves

  1. You should show the bad plays behind you it's actual work but needs to be done for a guy like me to listen to you

  2. It’s hilarious and sad that even independent creators need to use kid gloves when talking about LeBron.

    When he’s finally done and only the cold, objective eye of history is left to grade his professional career, it’s going to be interesting to see how fast and how far down a cliff his reputation falls.

  3. I think LeBron and the Lakers would be better off with him giving 100% for 20-25 minutes rather than continuing to play 35 minutes a game. LeBron takes too many possessions off for my taste.

    In other words try cutting his minutes.

  4. Only issue they have is defense Luka AR LeBron doesn’t play defense simple even Ayton like this mf can’t get rebounds 😂😂😂

  5. Without Lebron they would definitely be successful. They have the players to sustain in the West.
    PG Luka
    SG Smart
    SF Reaves
    PF Vando
    C Ayton

    Bench: Gabe, Knecht, Thiero, Laravia, Jax

    This team might not win the title but they can hold their own WITHOUT LeBuster

  6. Now you see why the Mavs didn’t want to pay him that 72m super max he was eligible for.

  7. My question is, why is it a PROBLEM NOW, LeBron dribbled the air out the ball because he's selfish and has been for 23 years Luka does it because he trusts AR more than anyone else, YES even LeBron, they've watched LeBron dribbling and no one making cuts this is their norm, watch LeBron when Luka has the ball

  8. You all miss the point. Dal. has a stronger supporting cast which the Lakers lacks. Luka could win games there by playing Luka ball, but here in L.A. players just watch and don't know what to do because the ball is always in Luka's hand. If Lebron handles the ball, teammates know if they run to a good spot, ball will come to them to make an easy bucket. That's the difference.

  9. Lakers had the easiest first half of the season schedule and they played a lot of very bad teams, including Sacramento which I is literally the worst team in the nba…. Lakers s being exposed as the bad team they always have been. They literally have no defense especially with LeBron and Luka both on the floor…

  10. Lebron is 41. Why is anyone surprised he’s fading? Not a single player in NBA history has played at a near peak level at age 41. The Lakers aren’t truly competitive. They are the only team in the NBA with a record above .500 that has a negative point differential.

  11. It is a weird year for the Lakers. Despite the record, they feel like a middling team. Some years, they were slightly above .500, but felt like a much better team. This year is reversed. It's like this: I ate at the Blue Bayou at Disneyland once. A 5 star restaurant. But after eating and paying $30 for the meal (this was in the 1980s), it didn't taste like a 5 star meal. That's how the 25-26 Lakers feel like to me.

  12. We all want Lebron to leave. Real Lakers fans of 20-30 years have all been praying he will leave. We don’t want him on the team. Or Bronny. Bronny has zero value in the league. It’s embarrassing to be stuck with both of them.

  13. I think thier refusal to have Hachimura (who is a worse defender than a 41-year old Lebron) off the bench to balance the bench scoring, along with Reaves being out is where the bulk of the blame should go, even with LBJ being as old as he is. To me that's coaching decisions. I like how they start Reaves and Luka then stagger them across the game.

  14. I feel like these are such obvious truisms but the average NBA viewer is extremely low IQ.

    The next truth people will eventually arrive at is the Luka arrived in the league at his ceiling. He hasn't actually improved his skill set and is entirely overrated. He plays a losing brand of basketball, much like Lebron

  15. I dont even think there are as good as the Suns.. the Lakers have had troubles with Phoenix all year.

  16. the mavericks would have to be insane to give the lakers ANY help. So cross off Gafford or Klay. The lakers can go find help for Doncic elsewhere.

  17. All on LeBron but nothing on their worst defensive player LUKA . SMH . LeBron gonna be ggone and everybody gonna blame ayton after and never blame Luka

  18. A Lebron-less Lakers will still not move to the upper echelon of the West when the 2 starting guards of Luka and AR have no chance of guarding the quick guards of the top teams. The roster reconstruction needed goes beyond one player (e.g. Lebron). Rui and DA are not defensive minded players, whereas Vando is not offensively inclined. Only JL and Smart (depends on which version shows up for the day) are legit two-way players. Only chance for the Lakers to make a championship run is if they miraculously wake up one morning and the players decide they will scrap and fight for every defensive possession, which isn't likely.
