We might be able to get a guy or two to develop if we didn’t keep giving away draft picks?

A 50 year old Lebron would be better than Kuminiga. |

Maybe but outside of bubble bron has two lottery appearances and a first round bounce. So if neither guy is good enough to get us over the hump go with youth |

Yep,, put Kuminga on the Lakers with LeBron's responsibility and watch what happens. |
It's not about LBJ's skill even at 37.
It's about his overall influence on the team.
Kuminga is a net gain because he's young and he won't demoralize his team by treating them like minions or trading them.
That being said I'd take Barnes over Kuminga.also.
No one, even the haters hasn't said LBJ or AD aren't great basketball players.
They've said LBJ has too much power over personnel, and that AD gets hurt too much.
If LBJ just played and AD got healthy... I'd have no beef with either of them.
But LBJ doesn't just play... he micromanages... and AD doesn't stay healthy.
Somehow this gets conflated into some of us saying they aren't great players. |

So outside of the championship that he produced? And let's ignore that the Lakers were up 2-1 on the Suns, and winning the game when AD went down in that first round playoff exit. |

2-1? Who won. His first year here lottery, this year lottery. Injuries are a staple of who he is. The bubble has been beaten to death. As a laker he needs the bubble to have success. That’s what facts show. |

Stop the hate. The Lakers were the best team when the season was halted. Let's pretend the Lakers contended every year and never in the lottery when kobe played

Ignore him. After trading for Brick, He said that we will 1) either win 75 games this season 2) Go entire playoffs undefeated |

Unfortunately we can’t count on another bubble. |
