31 comments

1. Good Chance to tank . Bring on the 26 , 27 Season .

2. A very influential loss 😢

3. Why we panicking all we gotta do is PLAY DEFENSE!!!!! LOCK IN ON THE DEFENSE!!!!!! DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS NOT BEING A GOOD SCORING TEAM ASK REGGIE MILLER!!!!!!

4. AND I LOVE AR15 BUT THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT HE'S GOT THEM AMG NUMBERS BUT HIS MOTOR DIDN'T GET THAT AMG UPGRADE!

5. Bring Kobe from the south Bay Lakers !! Let him play !!!

6. Funny coz ive been saying since before the season Vando should start instead of Rui… it just makes sense.. offense is covered by the other 4 guys. Even now without Reaves have to start Smart not LaRavia coz Smart can do more with the ball and still bring defense.. and feature Ayton more god damn it. He's been awesome until lately when he doesnt get touches

7. Thanks to a bum of a coach for mismanaging the roaster

8. They didn’t loose much he wasn’t doing much anyway the better the competition the more he’s exposed to many top notch quality guards in that league he’s athletically over matched 🤷‍♂️

9. What the Gay Float Rider Adam Silver from Club Sodom did to Dallas was criminal rigging and stealing Luka to help LeBron win a ring. He is like a modern day Jew like Meyer Lansky. If Patel don't throw him in jail this whole rigging and betting is a joke. So happy to see Silver and Lebron's scheme fall apart. Put Bronny in for Reaves.

10. Luka gonna shoot 30 shots a game now. Currently this season only ranks 7th in all time Usage % I know he can crack the top 5 if he tries.

11. OUT TILL TRADE DEADLINE IS OVER, SO HE WON'T BE TRADED. STRATEGY, BY reeves AND his agent. And the ORGANIZATION AND BEAT WRITERS LIKE THIS PLATFORM IS PUBLISHING…..
    STR8 TRASH, ON ALL SIDES…..
    #FACTZ

12. *Don't nec want this trade just options…These trade/moves will address Lakers flaws for the present/future…(1)Lakers trade Reaves/Knecht to the Kings: Monk and Kings 2026 (1st/unprotect)…(2)Lakers trade Vincent..'28(1st/ps)'32(2nd)..2 mill to Nets: Clowney/Highsmith… *2026-27 roster… *1st: Lakers '26 (1st)*Center:Bidunga..*PF:Rui..*SF:(1st/Kings) AJ Dybantsa..*SG: Smart..*PG:Luka..2nd:Jax/LaRavia/Van/Highsmith/Monk..3rd:(Lakers buy 2nd rd pick) Ivisic/stretch 5.. Clowney/Adou/Manon/Bronny…

13. hahah. no allstar again for austin. no wonder bron so disengaged. they cooked and he knew it.. unlucky. this was the only year they got in the near future.

14. AR is Jeremy linn level hype. I think I know why fans like him so much. Well lakers did say they only care about “the next 10 years” I think that means they are done actually trying to build a championship team today. LBJ and AD were building for the moment which is why that will be the lakers last ring until I guess 10 years

15. I have no idea why Austin or Luka played on Christmas Day. Knowing our luck, I'm surprised LD didn't go down either. He's obviously playing on an injury, too.

16. this team has started to become a joke-wonder if the owners are happy with the deal-

17. I think the season is a wash. Lakers are a first round exit team . JJs infatuation of playing Bron , Luka , and Rui together is a cancer . The roster build of this team is atrocious. We are 19-10 because Luka and especially AR were ran into the ground in the beginning . If Rob doesn’t make moves , Walter should trade and fire everyone that isn’t Luka, Austin, and Laravia . Literally no one else has upside

18. Just play the year no trade saves this team. Next year we should get the pieces we need.

19. Lebron should retire or go back to Cleveland this summer, we should tank and go for a high pick (does that influence our chance of landing a Gianis if we hit a top 3 pick? Is it tradeable?). This setup feels a little like what the season before we got AD was like.

20. Trade Lebron

21. This maybe a good thing for the Lakers, they need more defense on the floor, teams are targeting Luka, and Reaves both can't guard a dead man, and very slow, get a power forward, and more speed on this team if they make a trade, this should have been done in the summer, that's the problem with Luka on your team or any European player they don't play defense they shoot and cry

22. This is a good thing cause now we can finally trade him because he is a good player just not for this team

23. Now it’s time to unleash lakers secret weapon. Bronnie James is better than reeves. Let him run the offense.

24. SMART LUKA LEBRON VANDO AYTON LARAVIA

25. 7-8 To weeks that's it!! LA in big trouble. Smh. 😊

26. Lakers best bet is do nothing and wait til LeCon James is off the team. This summer retool and get way better

27. There goes his all nba and allstar selections. He lost millions in potential salary by not being eligible for the max now.

28. Vando needs to replace rui , rui cnt rebound and defend if hes not shooting well his n good jake needs more plong time and bronni, smoth is sucks in defense

29. LeCon James ain’t stepping up he old and needs to retire

30. Austin cool but not worth 50 million

31. the formula for lakers championship is the 2020 roster construction rob be like alright we got championship already my job here is done ill broke this lineup lol

    the 2020 lineup was all about tight defense, spreading the ball and feeding the bigs inside which non existent after this dumb management broke the championship roster.
