So you think that Jeanie can be as successful as Dr. Buss? One abnormal title doesn’t erase years of being in the lottery. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

She's no Jerry Buss but you've been watching basketball long enough to know how the league/buusiness of the NBA/ownership has changed over the years. |

It has changed but the Laker FO hasn’t accepted that change. They hired Byron Scott, he’s about as anti-2022 as you can get in the NBA. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

NOT. Jeanie took over Op's after the well published Buss kids agreed

If AD isn't healthy, sure. |
How does Holiday, Giannis, and AD work at the end of games? Where is the shooting? Middleton not only provides them with shooting but is also their best defensive wing, easily. Their team would be worse, unless you think they can just pull off other deals for much-needed shooters and wings who can play both ways. Middleton's injury exposed how big the DiVincenzo loss was for the Bucks, as they really could've used what he brought to the table.
Yes, now add in AD's injury issues, and I don't think the Bucks would make that deal. Nor should they. Nor would we offer it, anyway. |

The level of dominance that both Giannis and AD would provide would off set any issues, the Bucks love Middleton but I could see them being intrigued with the idea of a twin tower front court with AD and Giannis. |

What is this bottom shelf level of thinking people are at? IG you're better than that.
Unless you're going to trade both LeBron and AD, or can can some major haul for either, you keep em and find better/younger/hungrier players around them.
Kyle Anderson - TMLE
Russ for mixed parts (I like Knicks type package of Fournier, Burks, Kemba) then combine Kemba + THT to get someone like Oubre or add a pick to get Harrison Barnes type guy. Maybe add Nunn for Brogdon. Seek out young guys on minimums who can fill out the rotation... Damien Jones type guys. |

Lopez and Middleton + picks isn’t a major haul? Lopez is a Impact big, Middleton is a all star level type guy who can sometimes carry you’re team when he’s the focal point of the offense... I have no idea what a major haul is supposed to mean but that package is a clear haul. |

Lopez has had back issues for years now but he’s done a good job taking care of it most of the time, tell me which player is 100% healthy these days with the COVID and injury issues? |

Lopez is a MLE level big at best. In fact, I'd take McGee over him. Middleton is a lanky defender who can shoot.. ideal third guy but being forced into the role of a #2.
How you call that a haul for AD, even at his current value, is crazy.
Next summer of AD plays 40 games again, then consider a move where you sell for pennies on there dollar. |

While I'm not a huge fan of Jeanie, that is a bit unfair. The Lakers were bound to be in the lottery for a long time given that they had just traded away all their assets to get Howard and Nash... Only to have Nash be injured on opening night, Kobe blow his achilles, and Dwight leave in free agency. There was no avoiding the rebuild. |
