Lakers Offseason Q&A | Building Around Luka, LeBron’s Future + Center Targets

1. The Lakers have shooting & slashing players; the Lakers need size & freaking rebounding. Using the draft to get low/ high value centers. Trade away DA or Hayes for a better rebounding center. Season SFs & healthy centers…

2. He won championship and then dismantled the winning team before the Russ trade. He is the kiss of death to this franchise.

3. Dang; Did ya'll see SA in garbage time? They got not only Kormet; but Biyombo, Plumlee, & Olynek all behind Vic! I mean; wth? 😒 If they can figure out depth, certainly we can too! Goodness!

4. Westbrook could be the same of they go for Giannis?

5. Bold Take: LeBron James goes to the Wshingon Wizards to rejoin AD.
   The Wizards are uniquely crafted to make the playoffs overnight next year (yes sounds crazy).

   They have the #1 pick.
   They Have AD
   They have Trae Young (so-so asset)
   They are in the weak East.
   Add Lebron.
   Draft Dybantsa or trade the pick for a star or move down to #2 and assets.
   Keep Trae or trade for role players.
   AD has a big with Alex Sarr, so he can play power forward.

   Parallel Jordan's career and finish in Washington.

6. Rui needs to be considered for the obvious shooting loss if traded but the rebound and defensive need to make the change worthwhile.

7. The best thing the Lakers can do is sell high on Luka before the other teams learn how limited he is. His body is cooked and he will not become a better defender. Luka would have to be a stacked team to win.

8. Bronny is out performing the first round pick so that’s not really a favor to LeBron now what the bucks do by having giannis whole family on the bench is a favor

9. I think the future is not to build around any one player but build more complete two way teams. OKC literally are championship caliber without SGA, and Indiana came dangerously close to upsetting them in game 7 last year without their best player. I’m done with building around one player… got too much to lose… and because of this I kinda wish we never traded for Luka

10. If were able to run it back with Rui, LeBron and Reeves with the money we have ($53mil) we’ll be lucky, right? That doesn’t include Marcus either.

11. Sell high on rui!
    Get rid of LeBron
    Sign Austin
    Get Peyton Watson
    Get a real center

12. Lakers whenever they have a promising young/role player "How do we flip him and all our draft capital for some other team's disgruntled star?"

13. i wanna see jalen duren were the lakers make it happen.

14. It’s only the best option for LeBron to be with the Lakers if it’s because he wants to stay near his family. There are so many better teams he could join at about the same price. Cavs Knicks spurs warriors wolves. If they can add him cheap that puts any of those teams at contenders. It would be very difficult for the Lakers to build a contender team in one season…

15. Rob having an insane trade or two up his sleeve is the only hope we have for this offseason well. The free agency market is cheeks.

16. Looks like we are gonna run it back then

17. Every 1st round we can have available this offseason needs to be moved. For either 2 centers or 1 wing and and a center

18. Look the best way to rebuild the team is built around Rui and Luka and Smart Let Reaves and LeBron walk in free agency the no1 person to get is Hartenstein then go from there.

19. All Lakers free agents news is brunche lies. We have seen it never happened. The Luka trade was unexpected because Dollars didn't want him. If not, AD was still going to be on the roster .DA is trash, he can't even catch the ball. AR is a garbage playoffs player. Luka is a selfish player taken a dumb shot most of the time instead of passing the ball. LBJ should not come back to the Lakers because he is disrespected by the fans and the whole organization. If LBJ come back to the Lakers, I will be very unhappy . Lakers is garbage team.

20. All I want is Robert Williams and Mitch Robinson in FA upgrade front court

21. Of course Trevor wants to rename it so it doesnt sound like whag it is. Kicking the can down the road is still not doing anything 🙄

22. I like that reuben kid from Gators 7 footer defensive stopper

23. Rob will n Mitch Rob with Hayes rotation Would be ideal hopefully they’ll be hurt on opposite days lol. Thybulle too

24. Walker Kessler was real healthy last year played in only 5 games

25. Luka's hamstring injuries are directly correlated to his step backs. He steps back for 3s and his mid rangers. Luka's game is very hamstring reliant.

26. wonder if the lakers would trade connect and their first round pick thhis year. to the jazz for John Konchar and Svi ? just a thought.

27. Yeah, keep LeBum, sell jerseys, championship be damned!

28. DA HELPED THE LAKERS WIN AGAINST THE ROCKETS. REALLY A BIG FACTOR. NEXT SEASON WITHOUT BRON WOULD BE AYTONS COMEBACK YEAR.

29. I would trade Austin Reeves because he didn’t do anything in the playoffs and he sucks

30. And it’s worth it

31. "Brons revenge" – coming soon..

32. That’s what I’m saying Peyton Watson he good
