    if LeBron is on this team next year it will do more harm to the franchise than can be fixed and he will be booed, him or Minnie LeBron are not wanted no discount just gone

    I personally don’t understand the Nic Claxton thing. I think he’s a really good player but he’s nothing but a 7ft small forward ! He’s not a starting center in the west , he wouldn’t hold up against a Joker or a Zubac or any other big like that in the west 🤷🏽

    We can do either Ayton, Kleber, Vincent, and a first for Claxton and Cam Thomas and Dalton and a swap or seconds for Keon Ellis. Or do Ayton, Vincent, Kleber, Dalton, and a first and a swap for Herb Jones, Yves Miss, Alvarado, and Saddiq Bey.

    Guaranteed. Bron will take his first pay cut in the Summer and play 2 more full seasons WITH the Lakers. Mark the tape… (those close to him know this btw.. he’ll only retire if he can’t contribute anymore.. he loves the process.)

  12. @scottbrewer8671

    If the Lakers aren’t going to win a Championship this year and it’s likely LeBron re-signs in LA because it’s his home now…how come Lakers don’t trade LeBron before the deadline to a contender in the East!?

    Trade LeBron to the 76ers and swing a 3-team trade to bring in Giannis Antetokounmpo. Why be conservative and slow to acquiring the team you want?

    Get them together as fast as possible to build chemistry right away. On and off the court

    LAKERS Need a 3 point SHOOTER who can guard the other team PG…that way LUKA can guard slower SF and AR can guard the 2 position.
    ALSO they need a CENTER who can catch LOBS and who can REBOUND and PROTECT THE RIM like R.GOBERT or Claxton or D.Livelly

  14. @abbasm83

    So every scenario has the Lakers offering trash players with expiring contracts…….good luck with that

  15. @abbasm83

    It's not Lebron's choice to stay…..New ownership doesn't want him or the drama that comes with him…..
