Honestly, I don't think the defense is what makes D'Lo disappear. I think a lot of it was Ham, while I still think D'Lo a b****. He'd probably be better without Ham, and being lazy with the ball/passes

I love Zach but that's too much money for him, especially with the new apron rules. We'd have to ask Vlade Divac to comeback and push point

I'm onboard with this

Taurean Prince Talks Darvin Ham, Free Agency, and the Lakers' Season

“To stay with the Lakers would definitely be priority #1” - Taurean Prince on his upcoming free agency

Lakers don't have to stay the same. I dont know why you're acting like Lavine is the only option out there lol.

Lavine isn't the only guy Lakers can pursue.

Keeping the same team would better than trading for Lavine. Even the Bulls were a better team with him off the floor.

Lakers made the WCF last year with this roster btw and could've made the WCF this year if they were a higher seed and had a better matchup.

Lavine's contract is so bad that Bulls are expected to give up a pick just to get rid of him lol

No team wants him.

We can only pray Lue gets fired before the front office hires JJ

but Clippers will most likely wait until Lakers hire JJ and then fire him.

It's official

Chris Haynes: Would be surprised if its anyone but JJ Redick. JJ is now calling around and looking into assistants for his staff.

I'm for another 2/3 year experiment with the core of this roster. Because after that would be some flexibility in cap and could get off Bron and AD after another 2 years, as well as getting rid of JJ if it doesn't work

Guess whose gonna be AD's backup again

Deandre Jordan could also be the backup C

That's JJ's guy

We already know CP3 coming

CP3 for the vet minimum, which means Dinwiddie might not come back

Jeanie and Rob might pull a Matt Ishbia and give JJ a 5 year deal and then fire him in the 1st year after he loses the locker room.

Happy 26th Birthday to Austin Reaves

Just in: NOLA assistant coach James Borrego is scheduled for in-person interviews today according to multiple people, a significant step forwards in the Lakers coaching search

I'm tryna stay positive

Welp, I’ll see y’all niggas in 2026. I’m not about to be apart of this bullshit

JJ might not be this mastermind coach but I don’t think he’s going to derail us either. Still better than Ham most likely. It would be nice if we pull Borrego into the staff.

Max Christie's brother projected to be 34th pick
