Lakers Free Agency Preview: Roster Needs, Targets & Offseason Expectations

1. Pelika always tries to make the perfect trade unless it's a great trade falls into his lap

2. I feel like if we lose bron it’s gonna hurt more then we think he’s one of the reasons we went on that big run last season

3. What do we have to offer to get Kessler

4. This is the worst possible roster built around luka 😂

5. Pin sorry but Pete needs to be the permanent replacement 100%

6. I like Walker Kessler but you are talking about health, Walkers has NOT been healthy, yet is seeking MAX level money. What has he done to prove he is worth that?

7. trevor, jovan, and pete

   the big 3

8. the media cares way more than lestans that's nuts

9. What about Mitchell Robinson, Time Lord and Jaxson Hayes.

10. The Lakers desperately need a true anchor in the middle — someone who can own the paint, set a physical tone, and keep them from getting bullied by teams like the Spurs and OKC in the Western Conference.

11. If We can’t get 1) Kessler 2) Duren or 3) Ware, get Rob Williams & Nik Richards in FA!!!

    Rob & Jaxson will play “Center by Committee” similar to McGee & Howard in 19/20 and Nik will be a Minimum 3rd String Guy.

12. Don’t worry Trevor, I caught your draft day reference at 22:47

13. If the Lakers end up with nobody and nick claxton and Isiah Stewart went for 2 second rounders and cap space Pelinka needs to be fired

14. BUHA is such a downer bro relax

15. You guys should hold some tryouts for the 3rd of the show

16. If the reeves signing complicates the future why make the deal? Luka wants to win yesterday. Are you suggesting Luka wouldn't understand this reeves deal hurts his chances? How bad does he want to win? How devastating is the reeves signing? I'm ready for solid, savvy management. The Luka trade was a no-brainer. Ughhh.. Someone tell me something positive

17. “A-List center” is Dave McMenamin vocabulary. He also called the Russ experience as “Vampiric”

18. The reality is there is no bright future with 2 non athletic ball dominant guards as your two main guys. I'm a Bron fan so hopefully he leaves to a better managed team 🤷🏿‍♂️

19. I think if they can’t land Kessler I’d be fine with Robinson, DA, and Jax or Robinson, Williams and Jax. Robinson did a pretty good job on Wemby and I think DA showed he could do a decent job on him as well. There would be enough options to withstand some injury issues and they could just roll with whoever has it that night if someone is low motor or low IQ. Having Robinson not eat up a huge amount of $ could help land the wing the team needs or resign Bron as well

20. Whatever necessary to get Kessler in Lakers uniform they must do. All other options do not solve the problem. Kessler does 100%

21. These guys crazy. Common sense u get the all star type player in any case. Jalen Duran!!! U can find rim protection and put that around him for cheaper

22. Feels like Mitchell Robinson would be a likely target for us.

23. Lakers current process as 6.26 is exactly what Rob and Luka planned. Build around Luka, he wants AR done, he wants Center next, then Bron agrees to whatever left or move on, DA, RUI, picks trade assets and Dalton, Vando get rid of … hope to keep Smart and Luke

24. LeBron is definitely going back to Miami. U heard it here first

25. Never ever heard Luka in Dallas have to go on a podcast to say I need shooters defensive wings & a rim running center why ? Because competent front offices can see what kinda players work well with their franchise player & builds the roster .. Rob pelinka the one who needs to go

26. I'm very confused on how much they really want Kessler, and that's their number one target. He has played less games each season of his career, so we're just gonna assume that he'll be healthy when the others wouldn't. I like the idea of Ware and Robinson/Williams and then get some good wings. And I've liked Rob, but outside of Luca, and AD which were handed to him, what has he really done? The amount of player options that our guys get is ridiculous. Seems way more than I see other teams giving.

27. If we fire Rob….

28. Pete > Jason

29. It’s embarrassing that we all know Rob won’t sign anyone.

30. Say no to Robinson. He's no good

31. Sht they really got Pete 😂😂

32. Tax's in CA is crazy you better ask for more money

33. 1:08:10 Gasol Drummond Harrel Bamba Wood Koloko Len 🤢

34. a perfect offseason would be to SnT Lebron for Allen and then call the Hornets for Bridges and Diabate. Sign John Collins and a cheap young wing like Ellis, Agbaji, or Minott and briing Smart back

    Luka – Smith – Bronny
    AR – LaRavia – Carr
    Smart – Minott – Thiero
    Bridges – Collins
    Allen – Diabate – Cream

    not sure the money maybe sending vando and knecht along with a pick and swap or something to Charlotte

35. No one can replace Jason but I've always loved Pete's work and the chemistry in this episode seemed pretty good to me! Run it back I want to see pete on again!

36. Go all in on Kessler

37. Is Trevor actually a trio of triplets pretending to be one person? This dude is on every channel for like an hour or more all day everyday. Hustle game is legendary!

38. Love you guys and I understand it’s a show, but Bron is definitely coming back. Lol! Remember he said he’d want to see what they do first? Well here you go. Speculate on this after the 30th. And it’s not uncharted territory.. he’s 41. It’s ALL uncharted territory. He didn’t get his option last year and he played excellently and gave it his all… we can all relax. If the team is good then he’ll be on it.

39. I was hoping LFR to replace JT and he's here ❤

40. Pete!!!!

41. Robinson would cost less then any of the centers in group 1 or 2. Williams is so injury prone..Mitch can't make FT but he is one of the best offensive rebounders & shot blockers in the NBA..He finishes well around the rim while being an outstanding defender, Athletic, screen setter he brings toughness & physicality this team very much lacks. Combining him with DA,Jaxon gives the lakers 3 Bigs.

42. lovin pete on the pod!!! keep it up

43. No you are not allowed to like two teams. Basketball is a one team sport. That said I've been a fan of players so I might catch a game when I can but I watch every Laker game every year.

44. I know people wont want to hear this but we need to trade luka and reaves for picks and rebuild

    The reason we cant build around these stars is because we have no draft picks and more importantly we dont have assets because all the players we have drafted suck.

    Okc built their team through draft
    Spurs built their team through draft.

    Trade luka and reaves
    Fire everyone in your scouting department and start fresh.
    We rebuild for next 4 years and by then okc and spurs Dynasty may be slowing down. But i dont have faith in this "cap space" dream or building within luka prime window. He is already 27. A players prime historically is 25 to 30… we wont be able to build depth and get the stars we want in that window 😮

45. Pete from the film room??

    Lakers content Infinity Stones have been collected.

46. Just empty the clip for Kessler. 4 years / $148M, and throw in two first-round picks for all I care. Offer Lebron whatever we have left. Just get it done.
