Rich, just tell us that LeBron doesn’t want to play off the ball so much. He wants more touches so he can score more points. First they tried to put Austin on the Bench. AR didn’t want that. Since that didn’t work, get AR off the team.

“I think team first. It allows me to succeed, it allows my team to succeed.”
Since LeBron joined in 2018, the Lakers have been the NBA’s most chaotic franchise. Here’s the damage: 75+ Players Gone: From trading the “Young Core” for AD in 2019 to the massive 2025 move that sent Anthony Davis to Dallas for Luka Dončić. 3 Coaches Fired: Luke Walton, Frank Vogel (who won a ring!), and Darvin Ham were all shown the door. Magic Johnson famously quit, and in late 2025, new ownership fired longtime execs Joey and Jesse Buss along with the scouting staff.
The Bottom Line: In 8 years, they’ve cycled through 3 coaches, a Hall-of-Fame co-star, and enough players to fill five full rosters. 😂😂😂

I do wonder when SAS said “he doesn’t have a problem with Rich Paul having a podcast”, had SAS said he did have a problem with it, would people take that as a dig at Max Kellerman as well.

I would trade reaves for JJJ in a heartbeat I’m sorry .. Austin plays zero defense , already like Luka they don’t need two liability’s

Imo Lebron is not telling the truth.. (allegedly)….you said yourself that LeBron runs the Lakers…you also said yourself that nothing should happen without LeBron knowing…Come on guys…Even Stevie Wonder can see that LeBron definitely knew about and I need not say anymore..this is as bad as LeBron getting rid of their last Coach that LeBron got fired….Oh and LeBron also didn’t tell the truth about the NBA gambling scandal either right…it just quietly went away…why .. because LeBron is a billionaire and they can make things disappear.🤔

Why listen this idiotic rich although his client lebron should have gone or trade with ayton and picks for triple J that would make sense because ar15 is a future for the lakers with Luka!

January 14, 2026 at 9:51 pm
The real ‘Mafia GOAT’ “Greatest Of All Trader” LeBron. Imagine if the Lakers got Luka by trading an injury-prone, aging AD. As a Mavs fan, that would be heartbreaking. A team that just reached the Finals would suddenly become a bottom-tier team. That’s just unfair. The NBA should not allow deals like this. Fans need to know when the league is still worth watching, because moves like this damage the league’s credibility and the company’s reliability.
