@SamoaVsEverybody_814 As a Laker fan I’d rather learn about other teams instead of hear how my team is going to win a title 5 games under .500. Idk could just be me tho

Lakers should trade AD his already injury prone.Then trade Westbrook for young and hungry players who wants to play defense and win championship.

Lebrons done winning championships lol get over it. In all honesty they should ship LeBron off 1st bc you can get the most for him.

If it were a different coach I would say run. Jason Kidd is winning with less.

LeBron doesn’t challenge players… he isn’t like MJ, Kobe , Shaq, Bird, who actually get in your face and challenge you to be better

@The Real One Criticizing Lebron for his role in the Russ trade is fair game. It was always a bad basketball fit and it is crazy that Lebron nor others in the organization didn’t see that. That’s different than not ‘challenging’ the roster. Reeves, Johnson and Monk have played great. Johnson and Monk are having career years. Lebron is the primary reason why. The issue is, they are flawed players. It isn’t a matter of challenging guys, it is a matter of the right guys.

@P Bron has played with more than 25 all stars.. so whats your point? He has played with the most all stars and hall of famers out of anybody in the nba in history.. and thats actual facts

@The Real One I’m agreeing with you. What I’m telling you is that in Lebrons fans minds as long as he has 27 points 8 assist and 8 rebounds it will never be his fault in their mind 😂😂😂 they legitimately lack accountability and only care about box scores.

First round exit. I don’t even want the Lakers to make the playoffs tbh. They will get killed by the Suns in the first round.

Before Anthony Davis went down last year they were up on Phoenix

@P Phoenix has a better team this year than last year. The Lakers don’t have the personnel to match up with Phoenix. The Lakers Defense would give up a lot of points because they don’t have any good perimeter defenders & I don’t believe the Lakers have good enough shooters to keep up with Phoenix. Also the Lakers Chemistry is no where near as Great as the Suns. The Suns should defeat the Lakers in 5 games at least.

@P That’s such a trash excuse though. We gonna ignore CP3 and how he couldn’t shoot or dribble from games 1-3? Go watch his podcast with JJ Redick if you don’t believe me. Suns were up on Bucks too but they came back. Clippers were down 2-0 twice and and still beat Dallas and Utah. Not to mention, games 5 and 6 weren’t particularly close; they were 30 point blowouts.
Plus last year is last year. This is a new season and the Suns got better. Lakers… yeah…

As a raptors fan let me remind yall something about lebron…..he ain’t gonna miss playoffs unless he himself is injured regardless of AD/westbrooks status. You can give his a G league team and lebron is gonna make the playoffs and then give someone a run for their money in the playoffs and if couple of his teammates show up consistently he’s gonna win too. Is lebron getting too old? been saying it for years and every time he proves everyone wrong showing he still got it
Alan Payan
February 17, 2022 at 12:38 pm
As a logical human being…no. To all of that 😂 the west gets better every year and a g league team led by an older Lebron will NOT even make it to the play-in 🤣

They need to have the conversation bc without it they cant have the annual “LeBron Should Win MVP” debate.

Anthony Davis has missed 66 games out of 201 games (33%). LeBron has already dealt with injuries from DWade, Kyrie, and KLove. Russ is all LeBron’s got. From zero to hero. From LeBron’s scapegoat to LeBron’s only hope.
