He was fire in this game, led Minnesota to a win over Max's alma mater Michigan State.

They're saying he took some of Paul George's money

Sounds like FO is going to prioritize depth over a third star, let's see what Rob cooks up.

rondo as an assistant

Lakers are looking at the following assistant coaches

1. James Borrego Pels OC
2. Sam Cassell Celtics assistant coach
3. Scott Brooks Blazers lead assistant.
4. Jared Dudley Mavs assistant coach
5. Greg St Jean (former Lakers assistant coach under Vogel)
6. Rajon Rondo

looks like his twin. I wouldn't be mad at him in the 2nd. Both Christie brothers holding it down at SG

AD was playing out of his mind. 20+ point lead. Still makes me mad that we lost this game

AD is honestly one of the most underrated players in the league. Lebron is the media darling, but AD is so important on offense and defense. He just doesn't get the MVP hype even if he matched Joker play

I really like this prospect if we are going BPA

Big/ Athletic/ Fast/ Can Shoot 3S/ Good defender/ ball skills

This would make up for passing on Whitmore/Jaime. He kinda reminds me of a bigger Austin Reaves

Bring back Max and we would have 3 nice young wings to play for the new coach: Max, Johnny, Maxwell. Sign a vet center with the mid level

Imagine drafting Johnny and buying an early 2nd round pick to draft Cam Christie like we did Max. We then hire a coach who has the balls to play and develop young players

Youth

SF: Johnny, Maxwell
SG: Max , Cam Christie

And if somehow PG: JHS comes around, that’s a nice little rebuild on the fly. Maybe draft a big with a late second….

Confirmed

Why do people always buy into the fake media. Lakers are used by agents as leverage in other deals

I’ll honestly not waste time trading the future just to make Lebron happy. We aren’t that far off.

• get a real coach
• get a center maybe 2
• all our games were closer with Denver. A coach and more size would have been the difference

AD is an MVP level. Lebron is a fine 2 as his age, he’s still borderline top 10 but for sure all star. Reaves is one of the better #3 in the league, he has to defer playing with Lebron ….whoever we get is going have to defer too

Bring back DLO but put him in a Jamal Crawford role. He could be a 6th man of the year type

C- MLE / Wood / Hayes
PF- AD / Vandy
SF- Lebron/ Rui / Maxwell
SG- Max / DLO/ Johnny (first) / Cam
PG- Reaves / Vincent / JHS

Keep DLo around and maybe flip him at the deadline. Max is ready to start with solid defense and would thrive off catch and shoot situations.

We don’t need to panic and blow it up

Crazy how the reports were already saying he might become JJ’s assistant

The Lakers' 2024 first-round pick will be deferred by the Pelicans until 2025, allowing them to keep their 17th overall pick in next month's NBA Draft, per Woj
.

Still shocked at how bad his defense was in the playoffs if it wasn't 1on1, got lost seemingly every possession

Borrego cool, but I don't want him as a HC

Probably still upset about having to watch him in Charlotte
