    Trade all of them. Reaves and Monk is all I need. Trade THT too, he bust. Stanley can stay too.

    the fact that he's being ruled out a day before the game is not good at all

    this season is over

    Might as well just shut him down for the rest of the year.

    I think the start time factors in. He likes routine. His body is not up and ready to go at 10 AM PST mid season. He looked at that start time and went...

    Can't wait to see how creaky the rest of the old guys are going to be...yay!

    Wish we could put Lebron at the trade block and get some actual useful beneficial assets to build on for the future rather than mulling in this treadmill of medicority. You need stars to win in this league but you also need a balanced roster and LBJ/Klutch don't understand that.

    Right now commercially speaking and for optics sake it would be in Lebron/Klutch/Lakers best interests to stay together and get through this partnership until the scoring record is achieved (I think he's 75 games away if he averages 25ppg). Championship-wise I think the window is closed but not locked.

    Part of having an old team is players dropping like flies left and right during the season.

    Old players don't have horns or grey hairs. Their body just can't deal with the load.

    I don't think it's a bad thing.

    I'm not too worried, yet.

    This season is a wrap, though.

    Let him get right.

    I don't think he wants to leave the city of LA and his businesses. I think as acting GM he'll trade whatever of ours he has to in order to get Bronny on the Lakers... for better or worse.

    'There's a possibility that they can change the rules so that high school graduates can jump straight to the NBA. So 2023 is a possibility

    Is Bronny even that good? He's not a 5 star recruit - think he needs a growth spurt to really jump up.
