People make Superstars out of these young players before they even hit the NBA court. A lot of these young players learn the hard way that the NBA is not a joke. You have to earn your keep in the nba. As they are now learning.

No moves being made is making us put a ton of faith in a rookie head coach being really good at coaching right out of the gate

LeBron & AD each play less than 66 games this season.

The Lakers are a joke we gave a rookie second-round pick that hasn't proved anything a 4-year deal wasting money and a pick before the summer league started SMH he didn't even get a not a 2-way contract but a 4-year deal 🤦🏽

ad will turn 32 during this upcoming season. if bron plays 2/3 more yrs that makes ad 34/35 post-bron. stop talking about a potential third option now but "does he fit with ad in the future." it's ridiculously stupid.

Yeah, We need to Shoot better during Summer League however, I’m more concerned bout Our Defense and Lac(k) of Effort - The GSW got every loose ball Today.

This team is close and far at the same time. We need to make a move but we need to wait for the right move. However if LA can't bring someone in by the trade deadline I think moving LeBron and AD should be on the table mid-season.

It’s not negativity because the lakers haven’t done moves. It’s because everyone else got better. The same team from last year has no chance to make the play in.

The Lakers will be barely better than the Pistons this year.

The Pelicans traded the pick. And unless something dramatically bad happens on the injury front it certainly isn't going to be a lottery pick. That's why the Pelicans traded it. Players like Jaxon Hayes weren't paying off. It's the picks post-Lebron, that some want to give away for a bunch of mid-30's player's, re-treads like Kuzma and BI or Kessler that is scary.

Not putting much stock in the Lakers front office or upcoming talent.

It’s not the same team, half of last year’s team was hurt most of the year. The Lakers just need a real Center that can start 70 games. The rest is okay.

We didn’t run it back after we lost to the Suns who went to the finals and we would have beaten them due to injuries and we paid dearly for not running it back so I agree Same roster but better with JJ and Connect 4

a trade wont save lakers sorry team

All of our shot percentages look like MLB batting averages. And I'm not talking Tony Gwynn or Wade Boggs here 😬

I think the Magic and Nets are the options for DLo if he’s traded. The Magic would more than likely see him as an upgrade over Fultz and Cole Anthony.

Covering summer league statistics is so unnecessary. It does not matter.

The general atmosphere about our team this coming season is not very good. The first thing to do is admission of this. The second thing to do is to calibrate our expectations low so that anything over than that would be a surprise which can be a pleasant thing. Third would be looking ahead of this season and at least try to enjoy each game of Lakers basketball. If you can't do that, do something useful in your life.

You guys are lying. Acting like you’re not worried about how bad this game was 🤦🏽‍♂️

The Lakers FO are smart for not making a MOVE to make a move. As of now, every inquiring trade will involve TWO first round draft picks. Wait for trade deadline. Trades need to be made by then, for potential BUY OUT signings.

Lakers fans cry so much and always are on Hate agains the team,that why Kobe Bryant almost got out of LA to go go Chicago.He ask for help,but was because Lakers fans made him go crazy becaus all the hate

Johnson is a better shooter and defender. Hachimura is the better overall player, a better go-to scorer, more physically imposing. If you need pure 3&D, Johnson is worth Russell, Reddish, and a protected first for Johnson.

As currently constructed is looking like that. At best a repetition of last year. Maybe a better matchup than Denver in the first round but I believe lakers will make a couple moves before season starts.

I swear y as soon as players put on a Lakers jersey they forget how to shoot

Here we go with the judging again so early OMG😂😂😂😂

I don’t think ANY team will make a trade with the Lakers that doesn’t include both first round picks!!!

That's your problem - you brush off until it becomes a problem. If you're rebuilding it is a concern if you have return players to the classic from last year.

We need a BIG

The same individuals who were celebrating the signing of Christian Wood want to trade players and draft capital for a player (Kessler) who averaged about 8 and 8 on a bad team and has already been traded twice. The Grizzlies and Timberwolves both traded him. He was filler in the Gobert trade. Maybe try to get him then instead of Malik Beasley or in addition to? I'm fairly certain it wouldn't have cost an unprotected 1st just as LeBron retires. Other teams aren't fleecing the Lakers. The Lakers front office is fleecing the Lakers. Ainge playing chess. Pelinka playing Pictionary with people cheering him on this time last year.

I definitely think they’ll make a trade or two!!! But if they don’t, this team will be a top 5 seed if Bron and AD both play at least 65 games!!!

Does this mean the sky is falling? Ah, no, Trevor, the sky fell in the later stages of Kobe's career. That was 2013. That's 11 years and the only thing that is looming on the horizon is a major rebuild which might take another 11 years.

@@idkman09 you’re too worried about Lebron. AD came to the Lakers because of Lebron. There’s a lot of players that came to the Lakers on free agency because we had AD and Lebron. The thing your slow head can get around is that no big free agency player would ever sign for a full MLE. That’s peanuts to those guys. So the only options were sign/trade or trades. And the Lakers have awful assets. Who the F wants DLo or Rui or Gabe? Or even 1sr round picks from 2030? The only player they wanted was Reaves and that’s it. You got to understand most teams have way better assets than we do to trade for. The Westbrook trade ruined our foreseeable future. We gave up a lot for nothing but drama and empty stats.

At this point, please don't do anything! No scenario out there makes us a contender. Do not force a westbrook type trade to save your face, only setting the team back a few years again. Just be mediocre for the next 2 seasons, keep picks and wait for Lebron to leave (and I'm a Lebron fan). But it's the truth. You might want to think about trading AD in a few seasons as well. Collapse the thing, build from bottom up...looking forward to new blood and direction, eventhough it means we will suck. I'd rather be a lottery team than a play in team at this point.

I have all four youngsters in my second unit with Robert Williams III at center (acquired via trade w/POR for Vincent, Hayes, and a protected first): PG - Schifino SG - James C -- Williams PF - Lewis SF - Knecht I have zero problems developing Schifino, Lewis, and Knecht while "going for it" with veterans in the starting lineup.

Lakers shooting is something that should be researched by scientists and scholars. Every single role player that puts on a Lakers uniform see’s their outside shooting plummet (that first season). Without fail. I am convinced that the Lakers could sign Steph Curry (tomorrow), and his three ball percentage would drop to 34% that first season. No doubt in my mind.

I was at the games kel el looked lost after both days none of these dudes in summer league ready to play except the warriors team

Remember 2014-2015 season.... It's back

Hopium still being dispensed.

This is my prediction for Dalton Knecht in his rookie year 7.6 ppg 2.9 rpg 2.0 apg 0.7 spg 0.3 bpg 40.1 fg % 36.4 3ptfg% All rookie 2nd team

Don’t blame Rob. Nobody wants to play alongside Lebron or his overrated son. And that’s not Rob’s fault

So hard to find anything good to say they just sucked today. But daltion has good looking shots. Henson tried too hard for his shots. Castleton needs to demand the ball

Quit praising Dennis like he won something in his career Sean you wild 😂😂😂😂

The LAKER tax is so annoying. Laker basketball is good for the league.

Trade Hachimura, Reaves, and Vanderbilt (to CHI), and Vincent, Hayes, and 2025 CHI/POR first (to POR), and Wood and a second into space (anywhere) for LaVine and Robert Williams III. Clears four roster spots for one more big move. Adds athleticism, speed, and shooting to the backcourt and bonafide backup rim protection -- two of their biggest needs. If they also trade Russell, Reddish, and one of their own picks (heavily protected) for Cam Johnson, with five roster spots still open (all mins), their team looks like this: PG - James - Schifino SG - Christie - James C -- Davis - Williams PF - Johnson - Lewis SF - LaVine - Knecht

14:04 In all fairness, there were A LOT of instances last season where they didn’t even look like a professional basketball team-let alone an NBA team. Like, they really were “god-awful” at times.

What really irritates me about lakers fans is they have short term memory the lakers had more key wins without lebron than with him the team played more freely and shared the ball hence the 2 blowout wins vs boston and Milwaukee everyone is so caught up in making moves when the team isnt really that bad last season the lakers left a ton of wins slip by mostly because of injuries and Darvin Scam not making adjustments when needed and his inability to use his time outs in key moments sure the front office has been subpar but lebron also shares most if not majority of the blame for not relying on the youth playes enough to carry him to the playoffs players like Max Christie and now Dalton Knecht need to be utilized more why have them on the roster if your not going to maximize their potential
