   Why we want Draymond, we can get more offensive scoring and his defense is not to bad from James, we can do it just in case james plants to leave the lakers to another team or retire then i can consider getting Draymond and Wiggins

   Trevor please stop with this stuff. The whole lakers nation already knows. Rob is not making any moves. When is the last time rob made a game-changing Move It's not happening.

   I’ve wanted Miles Bridges on the Lakers since he was on Nova!! He’s tenacious on defense & a great scorer!! Trade LeBron, Bronny, Gabe & two 2nds for him!! 💜💛💜💛

   How about the Lakers TRY to make these three trades. 1. Vincent and 2031 1st to the Bulls for Ayo Dosunmu. 2. Kleber and 2032 2nd to the Nets for Day'Ron Sharpe. 3. Knecht to the Bucks for Gary Trent Jr. Then convert Timme's two-way contract to a prorated minimum contract for the 15th roster spot.

   If I was a GM of the lakers this is what I’m doing with the roster next year to prepare it to compete for the chip

   Number 1 I’m talking with Luka he is the franchise player and he gonna be the leader and captain of the team

   First Oder having a convo to him about things I’m looking for from him as a leader. I will build a roster primarily on defence and rebounding and shooting but I need him to lead by the example and step up and become a mature captain and leader and be more emotionally and mentally mature. He gotta lead by example on defence with effort energy aggression everything. That’s number 1 he needs to become a better version of Luka more mature and stable

   Then when he accepts I’m building a roster like this. I would keep Smart and Ayton if I could for cheap the rest can all go. I love Reaves but he cannot play with Luka and he would want 30 million a year and I cannot build a winning roster while giving him 30 million so he is out unfortunately

   If I cannot keep Ayton I would keep Smart only then and build perimeter defence with size speed and strength. I want another PG to play fast when Luka is out I need a change of pace I need speed I need aggression I need strength size intensity.

   Luka plays a certain style that’s good and slow and in 4th quarter half court that’s amazing so when he is playing slow I need someone to move the ball fast.

   I would get a dynamic fast aggressive downhill point guard. I need length and size on the boards and the glass and I need length speed on the perimeter and downhill drives

   I don’t need superstars I need specific skill set guys that are complimentary opposites that will compliment eachother strength to and weaknesses.

   Primarily the team is built on defence defensive values systems and culture starting with Luka. I hire coaching staff based on that culture defence first guys who are defensive minded unselfish and wanna do the dirty work.

   So I have smart and Luka so far and I build my roster from there. If I cannot keep keep Ayton I would for cheap I can use him.

   If I could I would get guys like this. Herb Jones Trey Murphy Mikel Bridges Dort Powell Vucevic Dyson Daniels Wiggins Hartenstain Mathurin PJ Washington Braun White Harris Barnes Sochan there is so many guys on this list you can go and choose your self a couple of good ones

   You can build a solid roster that compliments one another

   The greens today in the nba is defence size and spend length on perimeter downhill drives aggressive guards and speed speed speed

   I’m building my team around Luke on size length speed I don’t need too much shooting just specific skills sets and attributes to compliment Luka

   If you had a serious gm and a good solid management who would make up 3 rosters have it already set up ready to go. With clear values identity and vision surrounding it with Luka. You would be serious and have 3 different rosters set up and ready to go before the season ends of who you want 1-2-3 all ready to go if you were a serious organisation. I would know now who I want and how I’m gonna get them and who I’m trading who’s leaving and going lakers got no clue what they doing they don’t have a clear vision identity or culture to know what they want

   Lakers just want another superstar and they think that’s the way out lol cap space money is different now you got two guys on 50 million you cannot build a winning roster lol

   Lakers organisation needs to out bigger value on role players and build with them and be serious about finding the right role players for Luka not hope for a home run with Giannis lol then build a roster with two guys and vet minimum players lol then complain no depth defence or shooting later lol

   The only tradeable pieces Lakers have are Reaves and Luka. Everyone else is considered a negative. Every Laker you want to trade, no one wants. They are trash.

    I love it when Lakers yourtubers think that Rob Pelinka makes plans and knows what he is doing, I promise you Pelinka has no idea when the trade deadline is..He has never made a move in his life, Players fall in his lap, like DK4 who fell to 17th , got picked by lakers then what happened?? Rob Pelinka ruined his confidence by trading him and it wasn't even a successful trade, now DK4 is a shell of himslef..Rob Pelinka is the worst GM ever, and it tracks because his boss Jeanie is the worst owner the league has ever seen..

    Miles bridges starting wen he come here. Right over Rui n Laravia . N his defense is better than both.

    Giannis just can't control the game as much potentially as Luka can. Rather have an orchestator that can be an offensive engine. Giannis is dominant but he depends too much on athleticism and can't shoot. That said he would be an interesting fit with Luka

    I think Gabe has been good at times alongside Luka the issue is he’s too small… ppl love to shitt on him for some reason

    I've got to be honest…. I'm so tired of talking about trades and nothing is moving. This is the worst!
    Hurry up and move Ayton for Claxton already 🤣

    P.S. Pelinka has to go before the off season and a competent GM put in or were going to waste all Luka's prime years with badly constructed teams.

    Miles only plays good against the lakers he wont play good on the lakers 🙄 same as everyone before and after they come to the lakers the moment miles is traded to the lakers he will go on a shooting slump😂

    I think Rui needs to shoot more. The Lakers should legit run plays to get Rui open.
