Random af but I still can’t believe that we offered Mozgov that contract five minutes into free agency.

The buss children aren’t holding it down kind of sad to say

There are Laker fans that hate Lebron but just imagine if we never got him.

David Pingalore is the same guy whose sources told him Lebron would leave in free agency and that Kawhi would sign with the Clippers

He's also the same guy who made this tweet early in the season, which later had some truth to it.

Whoever we get as coach, I hope to plan on developing the youth. Two of ham biggest problems was rotations and not trusting young players…. That’s what scares me about JJ Redick. I feel like he will just pander to vets because he lacks experience. I hope we try to develop our youth. All the other teams with solid playoff runs were playing young players. We need a coach who can develop and isn’t scared to play youth. I hope we draft 3 guys on draft day. One with pick 17, buy a 2nd and keep our second

Austin Reaves on the current state of the Lakers and what they need to do to get back to contending for championships:

I forget about KPJ, Rob need to kick some tires

Bron putting in work. Peep Derek Fisher in the background

I would prefer Sam as coach here but it’s going be JJ

Ringer Mock Draft has Lakers selecting Jared McCain

Sharpshooter with a savvy sense for playmaking.

McCain’s shooting prowess and secondary playmaking would make him a great fit with Anthony Davis in the long term, and he’d also work nicely with LeBron James for the time being (assuming LeBron sticks around).

PLUSES
Launches jumpers off the dribble with comfort from all ranges, and he can fire when moving from either side or into a stepback.

Methodical ball handler who knows how to use pace, angles, and contact to generate space for himself.

Talented, selfless passer who runs a composed pick-and-roll. He’s capable of making any pass and does a good job of reading the floor.

Hard-nosed defender who can handle point-of-attack defense, fighting over screens, and sticking to the opponent.

MINUSES
Lacks a quick first step, limiting his ability to create a ton of space. Sometimes he’s unable to turn the corner against longer defenders, which keeps him from getting all the way to the basket.

Undersized, below-the-rim finisher who will need to rely on creative finishes to score around NBA length.

Basically another JHS

If Lakers don't use the 17th pick in a trade, they should get a big

We don't need anymore guards or wings on this team

Tbh I kinda really like it

Younger coach…played in this era

On social media…which caan be a bad thing….

But everybody on social media was begging Ham to go back to the WCF starting lineup and it took him so long to finally go to that lineup lmao

So it might be good for someone to see suggestions from the outside

another year wasted with a rookie first year coach

Ham was a rookie and we went to the WCF

Do you see the vision ?

:samoh: don't give me hope

James Borrego is most likely gonna be the lead assistant coach if we don't get Sam Cassell

I'd take either one as assistant

No Diddy

No?

Gonna have to retract this statement

Just did some research into this draft class and the bigs are not that impressive.

The guy the Lakers should draft is Tristan Da Silva if they keep the pick.

Plays defense and can shoot the three. Good basketball IQ.

Kyle Kuzma 2.0.

Tristan Da Silva will be a steal.
