1. Deluded Lakers fans!! What has Lebron done that wasn't manufactured?

2. What about the first 18 games???

3. Trade LeBron problem easily solve

4. Excuses excuses Lakers was doing good into bro😢came back

5. this defence issue of Luka is BS. What defence is Jokic doing?????? Idiotic topic. You need players! you ask all defence and all offence from one player! you are all BS people having no clue on basketball

6. It’s REALLY hard to win games when you play 4 v 5 all game

   That’s what the Lakers are doing when “the chosen one” is on the floor…

   Let’s be honest here…the “King” plays zero defense while cherry-picking on his throne for an easy layup to stat pad for his kingdom 😂

7. They dont have the flexibility to make moves until the offseason. They are just buying some time when they can address their needs. Luka will be the centerpiece but right now they got too many limitations with a 41 yr old taking so much cap.

8. My bulb wattage is very dim but I still knew, before the season started, they would not be able to compete for the Western conference championship…FORGET about the National Championship. Sure, they got off to a good start and all the sports media were wetting their pants with glee and bustin' their buttons and proudly proclaiming that the Lakers were back.😂😂 I kept quiet, knowing that their wet pants and joy would soon evaporate. And here I am with wet pants from laughing at how the gullible sports media were made to look like the foolish stooges that they are. You know who you are. 😊😊

9. Lol c'mon dawg don't be scared to say it. The Lakers were playing like a team to start the season even maybe a bit overrated…..then the cancer came back and shit went downhill. Everyone's too scared to point out the obvious and the sad part is they're gonna lose the only bright star in Reeves as I highly doubt he wants to play with lecancer and it's obvious. Not only that, lefraud has set the bar low with his BS and the other players have followed suit.

10. WHO the Hell in the Dude Speaking…😅😂😂😅this is LABELED as the Herd

11. Who gives a shit about LeBron James and his sorry ass Lakers, I sure don't !

12. Need to wait until LeBron is gone after this season, can't trade him unless he wants them to. IF he would be ok w it, then they could look at the Cavs or Knicks and get some 3D guys back for LeBron, both those teams could really use an elite playmaker and secondary scorer like him. They are asking Mitchell and Brunson to do way too much and it will bite them in the playoffs. But again, LeBron's no trade clause means he would have to be ok with it. It is best for both sides to move on, but I doubt he would waive it. Other problem is the irrational love for AR. Yes, he is a solid offensive guard but that's about it. No athleticism, horrible defender, and that is simply a terrible fit next to Luka in the back court. They both overlap and have the same weaknesses. AR is not worth the 40-50M he will be likely commanding on the market.

    Barring LeBron agreeing to be traded, AR is the one to trade for a couple solid 3D guys or 1 of them and a much better floor spacing big who defends. AR and Luka as a backcourt will never win anything, Luka needs some solid spot up guys who defend great. Outside of AR and Rui expiring contract, they don't have much to trade at all. So this season is probably a wash and then they can start building properly once LeBrons 50M is off the books. Trading AR is the most logical and sensible move to bring in what they need sooner.

13. Lakers won't be good until lebrons gone as far as winning is considered

14. Sucks! Started when Lebron came back.

15. Let's be reall the Lakers aren't going to win anything until Lebron James leave the team. Even after Lebron James leaves the Lakers still won't win anything with J.J as their coach. Lakers really need to get rid of Lebron James and all his assets that he brought to the Lakers(J.J Redick, and Bronny James).

16. I never thought the lakers would win any titles with old LeBron and bad defense Luka. Even during the summer

17. Rockets are having their own issues as well, both teams have a neariy similar record, struggles happen, and this Lakers team has had players in and out of the lineup all season do to injuries, it's beyond frustrating when things just come back to bite you after the surprising good start to the season, it is next man up, I get that, but this Lakers team has no great depth, and Pelinka is the reason for that, this dude is a Buffoon.

18. Whos to blame now??? Tell the truth ,dont hide anymore is lebum.
