2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

AR can't come off the bench in a contract year. Please stop that idea. He would never sign with us.
And I suggested the same last year. But it's just not an option now

Damn, why is Wiggins at 30-31? That's peak of most NBA players. He has like 5 good years ahead of him

 

Well.. Tinkerbell at the least, can start out feeling loved, in his new home.

That's very important to him.

It's such a nice contract.

Would anyone here throw our 3 FRPs for him next summer?
Not sure I would do it because we wouldn't have any further assets. Maybe switch a FRP for 1 or 2 late swaps?

He's the perfect enabler of a Luka/AR backcourt. We would have to be high on AR as a #2 option. And Ayton would have to really fit in well defensively, so we could roll with him and Rui to round out the starting lineup.
Unfortunately we shouldn't be in a position to pay that considering the loss of Bron for nothing. But I see the Spurs or even OKC doing that with their zillion picks

 

Brian Windhorst is an idiot America. This guy with the f***ing articles. Luka will wait until September because he’ll be playing Euro Ball in Europe. f*** outa here. Ever hear of virtual email signature or Verbal oral agreement?

this guy man. And then the obvious F u to Laker nation. Lakers are definitely about Luka this is Luka’s team. This isn’t Lebrons team. They aren’t making moves for Lebron. They are prioritizing Luka.

stop trying to personally divide our locker room. Put a divide in our locker room. It’s the Lakers team and they play for each other.

Rob runs it by Luka and Lebron just like he did AD and LeBron. I hate when this guy puts his personal vendetta hate against the Lakers in his reporting. You never see it with McManus you never see it with Shams.

 

I’m gonna go full circle.

But guys in here please focus on the Lakers and their core.

Gianis puts his foot in the pool and then takes it back out. So you never know with him.

it’s responsible to preserve cap space for 2027.

Jokic and Gianiss. Jokic is a guy who doesn’t give a f*** but who knows he might take more money next year. I don’t know if Denver was better trading Michael Porter Jr. for Cam Johnson. Porter Jr. was hurt but he destroyed us in the playoffs having that corner three point shooter was so hard to defend. Particularly the L.A. games in L.A.


I haven’t seen how Cameron Johnson performs in the playoffs.

and Gordon is old.


What I saw with OKC it’s all Shai Williams and Holmgren.

Got it. But I’m not tripping because Luka’s beat them in the playoffs.

We got a free Center. Basically we were at the mall and was like hey I gotta buy these brand new Jordan’s and I know if I do that I’m probably gonna have to give up this really nice outfit that I just got. Well guess what somebody just gave you the Jordan’s and now you can have the outfit to.

We got a free Center Aytons 26 Lukas 26 any Kobe Shaq interest you? Both them in their prime.

I like having Shaq as his mentor. Gonna help Ayton. And Luka look guys this is our core. This is who we are riding with Luka Ayton Reaves


And we have Lebron for one season only arguably the best player of all time so let’s ride with it.

we got a core of Rui Hachimura Dalton Knect Didn’t have to trade any of it. Got our supporting cast.

the key to winning a championship is depth and we have it roster depth. Dielo Aou is gonna be great perimeter defense.

everybody tripping about Herbert Jones. We got a Herbert Jones.

we’ll see who the last signing is Simmons Beal or Melton. Whoever it is I ain’t tripping we got a squad.

JJ Reddick no excuses. You got a team. I was watching tape of Deandre Ayton cook Nic Claxton and Sharpe for 35 points and 15 rebounds. This the dude that yall or Nets wanted us to trade Dalton Knect 2031 unprotected 1st round pick for???? Please.

we did great. Got Ayton. And Pelinka did great.

 

And all that OKC small market bull yall are cap. Yall just paid Shai Williams and Holmgren. No second apron bull whining about the Lakers f*** you all. Always saying look what the Lakers did. How can we compete.

How you f***ed us in the Chris Paul trade. We knew Paul and then we were trading for Dwight until. Yall b****ed about it.

Basketball reasons. So when people say NBA is fixed it’s not crazy. Because you guys literally fixed a trade and said the Lakers could not acquire a player and then sent him to the Clippers after you gave them the number 1 pick Blake Griffin.

so yes people can say you fixed it and gave the Mavericks the number 1 pick Cooper Flagg. When everybody b****ed how we fleced them.

We didn’t fleece them. We gave them our best two way defender MVP Center champion hall of fame center power forward Anthony Davis. That was the identity of our team. It could have cost us a championship. And we gave them our best young perimeter defender Max Christie. Anyone who knows basketball. Knows how that helps a team what that does for a team. We were playing great. So Dallas got a haul and the number 1 pick you gave them.

so no Laker crap. When we win we earn our championships just like everyone else.

 

It depends if he stays healthy and if his shot comes back. But a 37% from 3, healthy Herb is a perfect fit for us.

 

It’s amazing Deangelo Russell signs and it’s a savy move.

Deandre Ayton is signed and it’s a dumb move. Why sign a bad locker room guy?

but We didn’t trade anybody and we get him for 8 million.

Meanwhile Steven Adams go for 39 million and Clint Capela go for 40 million

but that’s not a savy move.

Laker NBA hate is hilarious.

 

Drafted before Luka only in the NBA.

 

Watched the NBA summer league had to turn it off.

Criminal the nba gave Dallas a superstar

observations Cooper Flagg I’ve seen all I need to of him. Looks like Lamar Odom Scottie Pippen at times Lebron

his ability to handle the ball at that size. Is impressive kind of Detlef Shrimp. Back when he was on Indiana. He can shoot it anywhere. Out to three beautiful shot. Step back pull up jumper. Can finish at the rim exceptionally. Best player in the draft.

Best player on the court tonight by far easily.

and the kid didn’t shoot the ball well tonight. He can pass it anywhere. Great court vision.

Bronnie you all need to watch summer league. We’re talking about Smart and Milton.

We got Bronny. I’m proud of this kid. He’s worked on his jump shot. I love that pull up jumper. Corner 3 and pull up three. Looks tremendously different and better.

his ability to Finnish at the rim if he adds the three and jumper to his game. You’re looking at a starting point guard with athleticism.

He can backup Luka and run next to him. A Bruce Brown. He could do it. So impressed. And if he adds defense he’s gonna be good. I saw it first hand saw Derrick Fisher work at his game. Why can’t he be Luka’s fisher as Fisher was to Kobe. Pops got him in the gym.


Knect love it. The shots there. Just work on the shooting stay in the corner. You’ll be our corner three shooter with LeBron and Luka. He’s defense is still trash I could put 20 on him. He needs to work on his defense so he can be our Rick Fox.


Darius Bazely you my friend are coming to training camp. I like his ability to play 3 and 4 . He’s showing so much athleticism.

I wanna see Luka LeBron and Ayton at the game Sunday as a sign of solidarity.

 

I did a Jerry West with Cooper Flagg lol. I said turn it off!!!! Turn it off!!!
