    What kills me is we went into the off-season needing a center and didn't even seem to try to get a center.
  • @Flash_1689
    Why tf would the lakers want buddy hield anyways? 😭

    I'm not going to lie. This is the first time I've been on this channel. I listen to Trevor all the time. But this is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST discussions I've heard about the Lakers so far this off season. No hyperbole. No over exaggerations. No ten thousand unrealistic trade scenarios. Just common-sense discussion. This was so refreshing.
  • @raiders2011able
    Love when you guys get together for a stream we need more of this Sliwa 😎
  • Why y'all can't wait? Just have patience and trust the organization
  • @serialkiller77

    Idk, call timeouts to stop momentum. Listen to LeBron when he asks for a challenge on a call. Continue to run plays in the 4th quarter, that specifically include AD so he puts up shots in the 4th...and we beat the nuggets...I think changing out ham is opportunity for a massive improvement. It's not guaranteed but ham was the difference in that series imo
  • @jkh5
    They didn’t even have to do anything to get Dalton Knecht either. He fell into their lap
  • Lakers don't need a 3rd star. All they need is a quality big, and quality roll players. That's it.

    If the Lakers signed Klay for the money reported over 3 seasons it would’ve been disastrous. Russell Westbrook 2.0. Thankfully, they dodged that bullet. LA will have a healthier team too, with guys who didn’t play last year and they didn’t make any rash trade blunders. They’ve chosen to be patient. That’s success to me.
  • @mariogreo9419
    guys, ty for this stuff, we darn appretiate it all and we love u both )))
  • @darthpelvis
    The biggest move was firing Ham, he mismanaged lineups and the players had checked out for a long time
  • Well, there was no mention that Rui and Reeves have another year under their belt to get better, and if that is not the case, then why are we not including Reeves in a deal. At some point, they have to take the next step

    As a proud representative of Laker Nation please accept my subscription! Kill it bro, keep em comin!
  • What hurts the most is coaches saying no to us and players picking other teams over us very publicly.
  • @maybachhaze7298
    God I miss DR.BUSS, if he was still alive, i believe we wouldn’t be going through this. Rest In Peace JERRY BUSS & JERRY WEST. 🕊️🙏🏽❤
  • Glad to see that you recognize the impact of the Paris trip to the Lakers system. If James plays 60 games the Lakers will be OK. The Pelinka problem is Delo. The Lakers need to move Russell to open up the roster. No teams want Delo. Trev knows, he tried to trade Delo for Murray all last year. Is Delo on the blackball list? Lakers like Reaves and Vincent. They like Knecht and Max and need to play them both to see if they can be part of the future. Max for defense. Knecht for shooting. Utah is not trading Lauri Mark. Not going to happen.

    Really hope the Lakers make a move and it’s an appropriate move
