  5. Everything is going to plan.
    Now lose for another 63 games, preferably at least 50-55 more games and
    Get a top 5 pick.
    Keep AD AND KYRIE and go for a title…….or……… trade both and all the 30 something vets for picks and swaps (preferably ours) but especially young,
    Blossoming talent under 23 and make a go of it in 2028-30.

  6. Hopefully the trade now is

    Flagg

    A 2026 top 5 pick

    Christie

    THE 2029 Lakers #1

    And a ton of picks and young talent when we eventually trade AD

    ITS STILL not enough for Luka but it’s a nice start. Throw in the rest of our sub 30 yr old talent and hopefully we can recover from the plague that was Nico Harrison. We will be young and talented again. Not old and injured all the f***ing time. Then we can only hope bad things happen to the Lakers. Which I do every day lol.

  7. Hope? I saw hope in an unusual player last night. Not sure if anyone heard of him. He is labeled "fat" by all the keyboard warriors and shoe executives who never leave a desk. He scored 32 by halftime. Barely shot in the second half and ended up with 13 assists. Oddly, people say he can't play defense but he is 4th in the league this year in steals. He kind of sucks though because only averages 9 rebounds a night and needs a lot of recovery beer.

  9. Not hating on any of the other rookies who are all playing well but Cooper is a victim of circumstances he couldn’t control. He was part of a historically bad trade by a GM who traded a true generational talent. He was hyped as the best American prospect in a generation. He was trusted into a role that he had no experience doing. He’s one of the youngest players that ever played in the NBA. He was put on a team that plays at a snails pace which doesn’t take advantage of his strongest attributes. The so call veterans team that was hoping to play for a chip is comprised of players who are either washed, hurt most the time or were never that good. However despite all of that his numbers are still 2nd best among rookies and when he gets his 3 pointer to around 35%+ his numbers will be outstanding and will win him RTOY.
