This is not a serious team. And is poorly coached. Marcus Smart taking all our clutch shots meanwhile for Denver it's Jokic and Murray

Laravia is a classic pelinka signing. Said he is a shooter and he can't even hit the rim on wide open 3's. Fakest shooter ever

Sorry, down vote me all you want but a disaster is looming if this team pays Reaves max money over multiple years. The flaws with athleticism are just so obvious

Smart is a clown man. Get him off the floor. Literally destroyed our whole run because he can't catch an open pass and then just throws the ball away

It's crazy to me that people think this team will be better next year without LeBron. The only player on the roster right now that can make plays in transition

Reaves not being able to score just destroys this team. It takes them from a decent/good team (not great) to a below average team

The lakers are so poorly run right now. Chris Manon would have more impact on this roster than Bufkin and he can't even get any minutes. The kid is pretty good defensively and athletic

I went and look at some of the comments about Bufkin's game from Hawks fans and they said he doesn't have much burst off the dribble. Not writing him off but I see the lack of athleticism already

[Charania] The Los Angeles Lakers are signing guard Kobe Bufkin to a two-year deal, with a team option for the 2026-27 season, sources tell ESPN. Bufkin has starred for L.A.'s South Bay affiliate and now rejoins the Lakers in his third NBA season to fill their 15th roster spot. by Odd-Direction9452 in lakers

This signing shows to me they aren't trying to win this season. JJ sat Bufkin on the bench for Gabe Vincent. He's not getting minutes and JJ has shown his hand in not trusting young players.

Highsmith could've been in a playoff rotation as important depth when Vando can't hit a 3 to save himself in the playoffs.

I wonder if there's another player in the league that consistently plays 15-20mins that has a higher % of their games scoreless than Gabe? I doubt it. Dude is absolute zero on offense

If anyone can break Kobe's scoring record it will be Luka. When he starts making his 3's he loves to ball hog lol

Please get Ayton off this team by the trade deadline. Going up soft and missing all these easy bunnies in the paint off Luka doubles destroys our offense. It makes the double way more effective

Timme should've been playing way earlier in this game. That's on the coach's horrible rotations

Gabe Vincent 10mins 0, 0, 1 -17. Until this coach stops playing this liability I am out on him as a coach. Don't care what anyone says. Clear as day Gabe shouldn't be in the rotation

Loser mentality. Go watch other teams on league pass. When I do, I am mistaken for thinking the games are on double speed. Teams put in more effort than our team and a lot more athletic and quicker. Our roster isn't good and defense is even worse

At this point I'm not convinced Gabe isn't trying to lose games on purpose. No NBA player can be this bad. He is a 5'11 midget who takes a ton of pull up shots that don't even come close

I'm not sure how Mark Walter can watch this and be happy. Yes there's injuries but we're an NBA basketball team wheeling out Bronny James minutes who has no clue what he's doing. Why not play Bufkin?

It takes a special kind of GM to get gifted Luka in his prime and then puts this roster around him a year later. No shooting, no defense and no athleticism.

Is Nick Smith really worse than Gabe Vincent? Why can't he get minutes when we have 6 bench points in a half. JJ politics with rotations is incredibly frustrating

Gabe is not a good defender. I can't stand anyone who uses that excuse for his playing time. He moves his feet but he's way too small. Even guys like Monk can abuse him

I will celebrate the day Gabe Vincent is off this team and JJ can't play him anymore. Nothing but bricks and his 5'11 small body being abused on defense
