Bring Molly back
Pau gasol was stolen as well
Giannis coukd stay in MLK and just sign to the Lakers next year as a free agent… Lakers don't have the assets to trade for him
Both LA and NY even Minnesota will be uplifted by Giannis he rather avoid Spurs they doing good it’d be too much
So why we even entertaining it for.🙄 talk about teams that are actually winning
Slow news day huh… lol 5:09
🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽Giannis is a franchise player and Bucks Ownership Bucks Management needs to stop wasting the is mans talent and quickly BUILD BUILD a Championship Team around this player! 🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽
Luka and jokic would be way better.
Freak is coming to LAL
O boy here we go again LAKERS THIS LAKERS THAT…ALL TALK NO ACTION
13:45 uhh LEBRON maybe
You always have to have a Batman and Robin. If freak goes to Lakers… Who is the robin?? The man with 2 back to back MVP, DPOY, FMVP, TOP 75 ALL TIME?? Him?;😂😂😂😂
Dumbest topic ever since 2019 when they originally started these dumb rumors
Wasting air time on this.
5:44 Ant is coming home to ATL buddy. Minnesota will be irrelevant
Does Stephen A have to give a history lesson every time he explains anything? News flash most NBA fans watch these shows regularly. You don't have to give these full break downs every segment.
The bucks could compete in the east if they took AR15 and all their 3 first round picks and anything else they could throw in and built a team around revees just like Indy has with haliburton and the Knicks with Brunson .
Not guaranteed championship but you could def compete in the east with that and a real team around him
first
Gianni's been getting Injured lately…so I would not trade for him
This new clown is a silly look.
Of course
I been saying this 😂😂😂
Giannis may indeed land in LA with the Clippers
Put Luca in the deal.
History repeats! Kareem went to LA too
Soooooooo yall ain’t got nothing else to talk about lol 😂
Get rid of LJ problem solve.
The NBA will make this happen for ratings. The NBA forced Luka to LA because ratings were low
Stars will always go to the Lakers! I think Bron will be gone next year, so this is believable
Nico turned the trade override setting ls off😂😂😂
Give me a break LA has been mediocre for years – If they are benefiting from other teams how is that paying off for them since 2020
Ernie Smith is the godfather.
It’s the same topic every year when a superstar player is becoming a free agent…he going to the Lakers. 😂😂 comical.
Giannis will come to LA but not the Lakers but to the Clippers
The Pistons are the truth. They still have to prove it in the playoffs and they will. Lack of offense is not the problem. They just need more three-point shooting for real.
With Luka and Reeves potential salary, then add him???????? I’m not so sure, the math would be impossible to build out roster
We needa hang Nico’s jersey up in the lakers building 🤭🤭🤭
There yall go again tryin to create something that's not accurate smh.
As a Lakers hater I hope this happens. It will cripple the Lakers having to max Gianni's and Luka AR will be gone in that trade.
The only reason I can see Giannis Antetokounmpo coming to the Lakers is because he would want to be following in the footsteps of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
I would take Giannis for Luka. 100%
Im ok with this being a rumor because Laker fans will believe it 😂
Think about Kareem
They said that about AD… then he forced his way to LA
Lakers offered Lebron to come back next season which is INSANE!
Why would go after injury-ridden Giannis SMH. Build with your young athletic talent.
