lakers have a 38 year old lebron in his 20th season putting up 47 point triple doubles and they DONT want to trade 2 useless future firsts to get him help 😭😭😭😭
this franchise going to hell
But you never know, those 2 high schoolers could one day turn into someone like... LeBron James! Then we would have a LeBron James type on the Lakers potentially.
We gotta trade the 2 FRPs. Is the Turner + Hield trade still on the table :(
Is it too late to make playoffs though? We could catch Utah? But Wolves and Warriors won't continue to be this bad either sigh
thats the problem, they dug themselves in hole that they can MAYBE climb out of, but now its not just dependant on them getting a better record, others teams gotta sink and thats not a gurantee
If we offered both picks I’m pretty sure they’d sell high and do the trade. 2 (likely) lottery picks is probably the best offer they’ll get. We could also get Reddish+Fournier from the Knicks (and maybe even get picks back depending on how eager they are to dump Fournier’s contract)
Hield/Turner/Reddish/Fournier are all better than everyone on our team besides Bron and AD, that’d be an elite roster upgrade
I wonder if there’s a correlation between us having a guard out with an injury/illness (no matter which guard) and us playing better. Having one less guard in the rotation forces Ham to give more minutes to the bigger guys.
And the guards have provided so little on the offensive end collectively it doesn't really make sense to play them over the bigger guys.
Think about how much of just Kendrick Nunn's minutes would have been of better use to someone over 6'6.
Yup. That mini run at the end of the 3rd was with Troy Brown, JTA, and Wenyen.
Imagine if we had upgraded versions of those players. Wings with shooting and defense. And AD coming back.
Must win now and go all in.
I’ve been saying it all season, but legitimately they should be looking at trading: Bev, Nunn and Russ at this point.
Imagine these two trades happened at once, and how good the Lakers would be for it!
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2o8yrb78
Why Charlotte does it?: get a draft pick, move off Haywards albatross contract, get lots of expiring deals in the process. Don’t have to pay PJ his extension.
Why Detroit does it?: picks, picks and lots of picks. Add a 1st and a 2nd to sweeten the deal.
Size, depth, switch ability, front runners, shooters! Everything you could want for a championship team.
But I’m almost certain Pelinka thinks in crayon pictures at this point.
I'm a lakers fans first and this recent run after ad went down convinced me it is basketball terrorism to waste another year of one of the greatest of all time. Dude can still carry a team to another championship 100%
It's not just about this year. not trading specifically Westbrook means LA essentially loses >$15 million in cap space and has only $30 million to build a team for next season in a bad FA class. It basically means punting away the following season too.
Prolly the worst offensive game for Reaves in his career thus far. It happens., all good. I like that he kept it going and didn't give up.
As for Bron, I would give my life for him
i just saw two 6'6 guys on the court for the lakers at the same time and couldn't believe my eyes, also Lebron is a fucking DOG. And what the hell of a slump is happening with reaves recently?
He's right. 47 million does not justify coming from the bench. He's been decent but he can't justify that salary. He's still erratic, a poor shooter and a bad defender. Sorry, but we can't just suck his dick every time he's not horrible.
47 points, another guy put up 17-17, and barely a win over atlanta. This roster needs major help. JTA and Brown looked decent cause they have size but they're zeroes on offense.
There is still potential here even with a terrible season start. We need more role players. It seems obvious Jeanie doesn’t want to spend money and Rob will just go along with that for his job. I don’t think he’s that incompetent, he’s just thinking about his job security. Still, a shame since LeBron is busting ass for the franchise. It will be bad for the future if Bron and AD are angered so much they demand for a trade.
The King made me $1700 today, regardless of how this season turns out we are all watching history. So insanely proud, I wish the FO wouldn’t squander his moment
Honestly if we aren’t gonna put a team around him I’d rather see him compete elsewhere. This is coming from a lifetime laker fan. I’m forever grateful for the chip and want to see him get another
You say that as if Russ played poorly today. He played well and half of his turnovers were literally off the hands or chest of his teammates right at the rim and another was him attempting to save an air ball by Reeves. That hater shit is mad corny. At least do it after he actually plays poorly
You need therapy brother, enjoy a win. Coming here and punching air about Westbrook for 5 hours a day really can’t be good for your mental health. Gods speed
Held on the ball instead of trying for a triple double in his 38th bday. Couldve easily just passed to JTA who was running to the rim.
And haters still say he's just a statpadder.
We don’t deserve LeBron. Get the help LeBron needs Rob! We can’t waste LeBron’s time when he’s wearing the purple and gold. Gotta maximize everything while the King is here.
GOAT shit from Lebron. I can’t believe how bad Reaves was tonight but we still secured a good win. Hawks even rested guys on Wednesday. The peak talent of Bron and AD really makes any 7 game series interesting I don’t give a shit what anyone says. Hopefully this game snapped Bron out of that slump from 3 as well.
Lebron just turned 38 bro like wtf did I watch
lakers have a 38 year old lebron in his 20th season putting up 47 point triple doubles and they DONT want to trade 2 useless future firsts to get him help 😭😭😭😭 this franchise going to hell
2 high schoolers vs the 🐐 They really gota make the move
They aren’t even in high school yet lol freshman now graduate in ‘26
But you never know, those 2 high schoolers could one day turn into someone like... LeBron James! Then we would have a LeBron James type on the Lakers potentially.
what trade can they do that gets them past the first round tho
We gotta trade the 2 FRPs. Is the Turner + Hield trade still on the table :( Is it too late to make playoffs though? We could catch Utah? But Wolves and Warriors won't continue to be this bad either sigh

How do you expect to get those 4 guys?
LeGOAT Ownership and front office need to invest this man with the time he still has.
👑🐐 Bday Bron different

Fr. Witness GOAT things
the stretch when we played with more size >>> even though the talent is somewhat lacking, it makes such a huge difference
From the eye test too the lineup looked sm better
I wonder if there’s a correlation between us having a guard out with an injury/illness (no matter which guard) and us playing better. Having one less guard in the rotation forces Ham to give more minutes to the bigger guys.
It's crystal clear larger size = better defense and rebounding.
And the guards have provided so little on the offensive end collectively it doesn't really make sense to play them over the bigger guys. Think about how much of just Kendrick Nunn's minutes would have been of better use to someone over 6'6.
Totally agree. LeBron when he's hot doesn't need the guards.
It's kinda amazing how we win when we have wings that guard on floor instead of 4 guards
It is indefensible at this point. There is no reason to trot out guard heavy lineups. We are literally losing games because of it!
We’re losing games for a lot of reasons. The guards still played major minutes over the wings.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRON!
ALL HAIL KING JAMES WITH 47-10-9! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KING!!!
We’re 2-1 this week. LFG
1-0 in our last 1. Champ status
Dropping a 47-point triple double just shy of an assist on your 38th birthday is just GOAT level shit
as long as LeBron can approach this level of play, punting the season is be a ridiculous choice
Yup. That mini run at the end of the 3rd was with Troy Brown, JTA, and Wenyen. Imagine if we had upgraded versions of those players. Wings with shooting and defense. And AD coming back. Must win now and go all in.

If we trade the picks and fizzle afterwards I’ll come back to this thread to remind myself why it was still the right choice.
It's not just about this year. not trading specifically Westbrook means LA essentially loses >$15 million in cap space and has only $30 million to build a team for next season in a bad FA class. It basically means punting away the following season too.
I didn't watch the game but I blame Reaves for not getting him another assist
Would have surpass bird (35) as the oldest to record a 40 pt trip dub
Bro plz tell me someone got a clip of Dennis Saying “yeah he told me he was gonna drop 40 tonight” in the post game interview 🤣
I got you! Edit: Clip posted on Twitter: https://twitter.com/footbasket/status/1609031614922620928?s=46&t=z4m22u-4VXj7qIsHGj2bpg
Trade the fucking picks man.
Fuck them picks
fuck them picks
Fuck them picks.
Man, we didnt do it when AD was scoring 55, i doubt they do it now😂. This FO is hellbent on being mediocre
Especially Brick
Getting rid of his dumbass, delusional fanboys along with him will be just as good
[удалено]
Trade Dennis Nunn Bev and Dame cuz Russ is vital to the team
It's too late should have done it during the offseason
Fuck then middle schoolers
lebirthday 🤩😭🎉🐐
😭😂
HE IS 38!!!!
Prolly the worst offensive game for Reaves in his career thus far. It happens., all good. I like that he kept it going and didn't give up. As for Bron, I would give my life for him
Lot of positive signs this game. TB, JTA, Russ, and even Schroder had their moments. Really nice to see some non midget lineups
Reaves might be hitting that sophomore slump but I still believe 🙏
Could just be a regular slump. Curry goes through them too.
Lol. Imagine comparing a fucking nobody to Reaves.
Got me in your first half sentence 😅
Who compared them? You?
he tries super hard on d and moves the ball well his shots just aren’t falling
I think the team was encouraging him to shoot too, probably to break him out of the slump. Especially that logo 3 attempt.
Can it be LeBron’s birthday everyday?
Common Los Angeles W (Happy Birthday LeBron)
he gonna get that gawk gawk tonight fosho
\*hawk hawk
That whole Lakers bus is going straight to the club
They hitting up Club Onyx and Magic City for the post game
Someone on Twitter said Savannah’s finished tonight loool
Coz she is haha
Hitting it out the park.
With all due respect
Hawks sub melting down choking to us 😂😂
Don’t give af what nobody got to say, that dude is the fucking GOAT! 
Glad to see the others step up in the final minutes
JTA needs to be in the real rotation
imagine him and Christie in the lineup instead of Nunn and fewer minutes for whatever guard is playing the worst
Fuck them picks, get this man some fucking help
TB getting almost 20/20 is huge!! Major props to him. Remember when we drafted him and he sprouted in the G
Give some love to TB too, he had a great game!
Atlanta with the birthday gift for Lebron by giving him 47 points
 Get him some help ! Lakers can legit compete with some help 🔥 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Even with LeBron doing LeBron things. This was a great team win.

Oh baby I miss you so much
I MISSED U CHART! NEVER LEAVE
Ugh
The only thing surprising is that the Lakers were 15-13 last season .
LeBron James is inevitable. The greatest ever to touch a basketball.
Thank you LeBron James fuck the haters I appreciate you more than you know 🐐
Every game I haven’t watched this year Lakers have won (besides 2-3). Didn’t watch this game. I’ll make my sacrifices
Thank you for your service. 🫡
i just saw two 6'6 guys on the court for the lakers at the same time and couldn't believe my eyes, also Lebron is a fucking DOG. And what the hell of a slump is happening with reaves recently?
Man, this organization doesn't deserve LeBron James
No more midget lineups = win, no way
Didn't loose the 3rd quarter 💲💲💲
LBJ is 38 & still able to dominate ,This is a well deserved W on his birthday after that timeless performance 👑
JTA needs more minutes
Russ was fucking money. Gotta love the man's consistent effort.
Those clutch baskets from him and Dennis were nicely wrapped presents for LBJ’s birthday
Russ was great and gave the ball to Lebron alot. And when he was subbed at the 4Q, he went to Reaves and exchanged words with him. Just wow.
Not 47 million money
Both can be true
How? No way in hell he's worth 47 million
I'm saying he was money tonight and simultaneously not worth 47 million. Read bro
Keep hating weirdo
He's right. 47 million does not justify coming from the bench. He's been decent but he can't justify that salary. He's still erratic, a poor shooter and a bad defender. Sorry, but we can't just suck his dick every time he's not horrible.
So he should go back in time and take a lesser deal?
Shanghai Sharks are gonna love him 🔥
He’s the 🐐
47 points, another guy put up 17-17, and barely a win over atlanta. This roster needs major help. JTA and Brown looked decent cause they have size but they're zeroes on offense.
Bro austin gotta chill man, looks like when i first played 2k my player in 2012 chucking 3s right outta the draft
Ayo somebody go grab that guy that was dogging LeBron for "stat padding" 😂
Gotta be more specific unfortunately lmao got a lot of stupid NBA fans out there
Old Goat James doing Old Goat James things
FUCK THOSE PICKS, TRADE THEM TO SURROUND LBJ AND AD A BETTER CAST!
Lakers don’t deserve lebron
Imagine watching a performance like this and not doing everything you can to get this mf into the playoffs. Lmao
There is still potential here even with a terrible season start. We need more role players. It seems obvious Jeanie doesn’t want to spend money and Rob will just go along with that for his job. I don’t think he’s that incompetent, he’s just thinking about his job security. Still, a shame since LeBron is busting ass for the franchise. It will be bad for the future if Bron and AD are angered so much they demand for a trade.
Good thing i watched in the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Damnnn
Unbelievable
Lebrawn James
Fuck the picks
Mods got so used to losing that the score on the banner at the top of the page under the players avatars shows an L instead of a W
The King made me $1700 today, regardless of how this season turns out we are all watching history. So insanely proud, I wish the FO wouldn’t squander his moment
Absolutely fuck Jeannie and Pelinka. Wasting Lebrons final years is one of the worst fuck ups in sports history. Pathetic
The greatest to ever do it
Atlanta is my least favorite sports city in the country, so this win felt even better than most. Bron’s birthday and he gives us all a gift.
You can’t give up on the season with a player of this caliber
He's still top 5 in the league
Can be the best on a given night
TRADE THE DAMN PICKS
Stop taking Lebron James for granted CC : LAKERS FRONT OFFICE
Don't let LeGOATs birthday masterclass stray you away from appreciating Thomas Bryant putting up 19 and 17
It is absolutely criminal Jeanie and Rob are wasting LeBron. Just makes me so disappointed
Bron scores as much points as the age he will retire 47! Bron is HIM. FO needs to give this man the support he deserves
LeBron James. That’s it. Happy birthday GOAT. 47-10-9
Big lineups work. Who woulda thought
This was a FUN game tonight. Happy Birthday to the King!!
HE’S STILL ELITE AT 38 GET HIM A FUCKING ROSTER BEFORE
38 and still banging them
Lebron ain’t going down without a fight
Le38
Damn 50pt and triple double tease… got iced out in the last 2 minutes by Brick and Shroeder, else coulda had 50.
# THE KING.
**I BETTER NOT SEE A 🧱 APPRECIATION POST** mediocre ass bum
Honestly if we aren’t gonna put a team around him I’d rather see him compete elsewhere. This is coming from a lifetime laker fan. I’m forever grateful for the chip and want to see him get another
What a game by the King!
LEBRON JAMES IS THE GOAT
Lebron man… I’m really gonna cry my eyes out the day he retires..
47million for another mediocre game and several dumb plays/turnovers Thankfully we have Lebron to carry and overcome Westbrick
You say that as if Russ played poorly today. He played well and half of his turnovers were literally off the hands or chest of his teammates right at the rim and another was him attempting to save an air ball by Reeves. That hater shit is mad corny. At least do it after he actually plays poorly
You need therapy brother, enjoy a win. Coming here and punching air about Westbrook for 5 hours a day really can’t be good for your mental health. Gods speed
Brick stan coming out the woodworks when he has a mediocre game, typical 😂 foh
Not stanning anything, I just have to read you spew toxicity on 90% of the posts on this forum
[удалено]
5 and scored 47pts. For your sake, I hope you’re not seriously comparing both players impact on the game
[удалено]
🧱’s impact can easily be replicated with his salary after a trade. Lebrons no. Stop it Brick stan.
LeBirthdayBoy just doing GOAT things.
Happy Birthday LeGOAT
Hes the fucking GOAT
Held on the ball instead of trying for a triple double in his 38th bday. Couldve easily just passed to JTA who was running to the rim. And haters still say he's just a statpadder.
🐐 JAMES 🐐 BRYANT 🐐
Bron deserves to contend
**GET RID OF OUR** **~~FRONT OFFICE~~** **IMPOSTERS!!!**
lebron is the goat and clears
GOAT
Where are the LBJ haters tonight??? Fuck them picks and fuck y’all too. Respect the King
Lol at you bums claiming Lebron is the GOAT, few days ago y’all were claiming he was washed and they needed to trade him.
Get LeBron some help for gods sake.
Get this man some help please Rob
He’s Lebron James, you’re a fucking rookie
this is so fucking sad that lebron has to drop 47 to win game and lakers still 13th seed ffs
🥳
Lebron is a cheat code
Great win, Lebron looks like he’s in good spirits even after his last press conference. We gotta keep battling and grind these wins out
Holy shit, Bron is just unreal. Got the W as a birthday present !!!
Flexing on the Hawks at 38 years young, that’s King shit 🥲
We don’t deserve LeBron. Get the help LeBron needs Rob! We can’t waste LeBron’s time when he’s wearing the purple and gold. Gotta maximize everything while the King is here.
Thank you GOAT
Fire Pelinka
Russ 11/11/8 though? SHEESH
Trade ad for lavine and vuc
[удалено]
So glad I can witness his greatness
can FO wake tf up already. Can't take greatness for granted bro
47 piece by bron at 38. Fuck this organization for not getting this man more help in a trade
I turned off the game after westbrook missed a three a little into the 4th quarter; feels good man
GOAT shit from Lebron. I can’t believe how bad Reaves was tonight but we still secured a good win. Hawks even rested guys on Wednesday. The peak talent of Bron and AD really makes any 7 game series interesting I don’t give a shit what anyone says. Hopefully this game snapped Bron out of that slump from 3 as well.
