Not surprisingly, Deandre Ayton hasn’t been the big man savior that lakers fanboys hoped he would be. Who would’ve thought an $8 million a year player that no one wanted wouldn’t produce?

Their defense is atrocious and is giving up 117ppg while the offense is scoring 117ppg.

Lebron had a nice -33 point differential on Christmas against the rockets.

I don't understand why LeBron hasn't announced his retirement. Fanbase will be very frustrated with a retirement tour NEXT season, tanking another year of Prime Luka.

The Lakers cannot win at a serious rate with LeBron walking around on defense.

It’s Lebron’s fault, he’s completely washed at this point. Needs to retire asap, he’s cratering the team

When you’re the best player on the team running things and making demands, the fans will tolerate it. When you’re aging 3rd best player on the team, not so much.

This will be it for Lebron as a Laker unless he's willing to take a vet minimum next year. He's an unrestricted free agent after this season.

But yeah, him opting in for this year and giving the team a $53 million cap hit really helped to build a winning roster.

Lebron can put up stats for days, but no longer impacts winning. Guys like him, Curry, Durant, etc would score 20+ every night until they’re 50, but their impact on winning will diminish as time goes on.

When you take his lack of defense into account he’s no longer a top 50 overall player in the NBA.

Offensively alone he can be top 25 on any given night.

LeBron has an entire team of hangers-on that he needs to feed tho. It's why he's desperately trying to stay relevant for as long as possible.

Ain't no party like a Diddy party.

Because as soon as he leaves they get rid on Bronney. Biggest grift in sports. Luka knew what he was getting into so I don’t feel sorry for him either. He put on weight again probably gave up on chances to go anywhere with LBJ playing.

He is the biggest whiner in NBA. Every trip on offense all he does is whine. Never seen anyone worse ever. Unwatchable.

You actually think he didn’t know lol. No one gets traded at that level without agents involved and clearing the trade. Because a high caliber player can refuse to go. Rare but can happen. And a new team doesn’t want a disgruntled star.

Yes. I do think that. It is well-documented. The GM literally got fired for it.
