    No defense and if Luka and Ar can’t stay healthy problems

      They already had no defense last year. All they did was maximize their offense and hope they can outscore the other team which is idiotic. Kessler gotta do everything

    replaced lebron freaking james with walker kessler and got rid of all our picks for him too. not sure why we even needed to give up the picks if he’s a dang free agent. worst part was signing sexton, a guy with a negative net rating who’s played 60 games in 2 seasons, meanwhile rockets got marcus smart for less money. lost luke kennard, and gonna lose rui. i just don’t get what rob pelinka thinks he’s doing lol.

    Everyone can score, but if you do it with one of the best, what does that say about the offense?

    Didn’t improve defense but added a top 3 rim protector aside from Chet and Wembanyama? Lmao

      No perimeter defence and the two biggest cones on defence will out up 50 and give up 70
      Also they gave up all their picks s they have essentially nothing when this inevitably fails. Least the mavs built a good team around Luka

      Who’s gonna guard Ant, Shai, Brunson, Etc? Adding Walker addresses their center issue but they desperately need perimeter defense to cover up Luka and Austin’s deficiencies.

    THE FIRST HONEST TAKE OUT OF THE LAST 50 TAKES I’VE HEARD.

    Moving in the right direction is what matters.

    We had one huge problem. Finding a two way forward that can run the floor like LeBron. Now we trade Ayton for another freaking guard “Hardy” that plays no defense because he played with Luca before? Rob is obsessed with guards. If he intended to trade Ayton then Hayes would have been a better fit.

    At the start of the season, Rich Paul at Max Kellerman show propose a fantasy trade Austin Reaves for Jarren Jackson Jr.

    JJJ is a former DPOY.
    A rim protector for Luka and Bron.
    And they would still have their FR Pick (that got send for Kesler).

    They could have kept Rui, Smart, Kennard as well and still have room to acquire more FA. But got ate by Reaves most of the Cap Space.

    Lakers hand are now tied. But still have HIGH HOPES for the new line up.
    But personally Lost all hope for Reaves.
    Every postseason dude went 📉📉📉📉
