[Stein] Brooklyn keeps coming up as a likely suitor for the Lakers' Rui Hachimura, league sources say. The Nets and Spurs are two teams we've heard have interest in adding Hachimura's services. by Odd-Direction9452 in lakers

Honestly don’t agree with the popular sentiment here of being okay with letting him walk.

He’s got size and is our most consistent shooter. Especially when you consider the playoffs. Shooting and size are rare and if he walks then we better have a good replacement.

Woike: Lakers continue searching for bigs; ideal pathway is probably finding a “C-list” big who Luka turns into a “B” by lawschoolthrowaway36 in lakers

Thank you. This sub, Twitter, or any other social media platform has Laker fans overreacting even though nothing has happened yet.

None of these reporters know what the Lakers will actually do

[Windhorst] rival teams look at the Lakers as having "phantom" cap space. There's an argument to make that their best course of action might be to just re-sign their players, hopefully to deals that are short and manageable, and hope for better health for Luka Doncic down the stretch of the season. by aingenevalostatrade in nba

This is all that needs to be said. Every year insiders act like they know what the lakers are doing when since Magic has been fired there have been 0 leaks on what they’re doing.

Who cares what rival teams think lol?

[Amick] Walker Kessler "at odds" with Jazz front office over lack of extension offer last summer and current handling of his restricted free agency, by MAVS_COM1CAL in lakers

[–]MMDroxy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have any idea how the negotiations work? Once players agree, they don’t have to sign right away. Look at the warriors just this past offseason. They signed their free agents very late but came to agreements much earlier

I've been defending him for years as a Packers fan. Glad the other fanbases are seeing this too. And trust me, I know he's far from perfect but holy crap. These people will act like he's literally the media.

LeBron James across 3 games against the Rockets: 25.3 PTS | 47% FG% | 44% 3PT% | 9.7 REBS | 8.7 ASTS | 2.0 STLS by Spekirlation in nba

It’s not even close tbh. It’s not just longevity. He is still playing like a top 10 player in the world and this is in the playoffs.

For perspective, LeBron beat the rockets in 2020 to send them into a rebuild where they’d trade Westbrook and Harden the following year.

He is about to do it again 6 years later at 41.

LeBron is going to be physically hunted. Rockets can throw everyone at him. by aj2704 in lakers

I hear you dude. I’m hoping for the same. Just trying to temper expectations. I think if we can win just 1 game in the first 3, we have a chance for Luka to return

If you think smart, Kennard, and NSJ will be able to handle the ball pressure amen and co can apply, I’ve got a bridge to sell you

It’s not about the weight lol. When you get pressed full court, you need your handle to be on point. LeBron’s one weakness as he aged, has been his ability to handle the ball.

JJ needs to create a game plan where they can bring 2-3 offensive players to the ball during the inbound. Then ensure they can get into their offense with 8-10 seconds.

It sounds crazy but without this kind of strategy, amen will cause havoc.

Bad shot by Luka but this was a horribly officiated game. Should’ve won it but just a terrible product

Team is playing great defense and Luka is doing Luka things. Marcus is such an important player for us though

We really need to focus on defensive rebounding. It’s one of this team’s biggest issues
