Oscar Gonzalez+FollowShould Lakers Gamble on Thybulle's Health?Laker Nation, what do you think about the rumors linking us to Matisse Thybulle? The guy’s a defensive ace and could be the 3-and-D wing we need, but his injury history is a real concern. With only a handful of games played in two seasons, is it worth risking assets for him, or should Rob Pelinka look elsewhere? The trade deadline’s coming up fast—let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow00Share
Nicole Obrien+FollowLakers’ Big Man Dilemma: No Trade Needed?Laker Nation, what’s your take on the front office holding off on a center trade this deadline? With King James and AD anchoring the squad, it looks like Rob Pelinka is saving that lone first-round pick for a bigger move down the line. The rollercoaster with Ayton and Hayes aside, the real play might be waiting for a stacked center market this summer. Smart move or missed opportunity? #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow20Share
Nicole Obrien+FollowLakers Skip Shootarounds to Keep King James FreshLakers fans, what do you think of JJ Redick’s move to cancel morning shootarounds? With King James turning 41 and still putting up monster numbers, it’s clear the team is all-in on playoff health over regular season grind. Redick says it’s about protecting LeBron’s legs for April and May, not chasing every January win. Smart management or risky move? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow01Share
Patrick Gonzales+FollowShould Lakers Trade for Keon Ellis & Monk?Laker Nation, what do you think about the rumored trade with the Kings for Keon Ellis, Malik Monk, and Devin Carter? The Kings want our only first-round pick, but Rob Pelinka might get creative. Ellis could bring the perimeter defense we desperately need, and Monk already showed he can light it up in LA. With King James chasing ring #5, is this the move that puts us over the top? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow10Share
summersivan+FollowLakers Stand Firm Amid Rich Paul’s PressureLaker Nation, the front office is making moves—just not the ones Rich Paul (King James’ agent) is pushing for. Despite the noise, Rob Pelinka & Co. are focused on landing a true two-way wing before the trade deadline, but aren’t willing to mortgage the future for just anyone. The Kings’ Keon Ellis is on their radar, but LA’s only tradable pick complicates things. Will the Lakers make a splash or play it safe for next season? #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow00Share
summersivan+FollowShould Ayton Get More Love in LA's Offense?Lakers fans, what do you think about Deandre Ayton’s role lately? After another clutch win led by King James and Luka Magic, JJ Redick called out Ayton’s frustration over his limited touches—even though he was super efficient again. Ayton says he trusts his playmakers, but with Reaves out and LeBron logging heavy minutes, should JJ run more sets for the big fella? Could Ayton be the X-factor for a real title run? #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow00Share
guerrajohn+FollowLakers Stand Firm: Reaves Not for TradeLaker Nation, it looks like AR15 isn’t going anywhere! Despite the team’s defensive struggles and chatter about a Dillon Brooks swap, Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka are doubling down on keeping Austin Reaves in purple and gold. Even with Mat Ishbia shutting down trade talks from the Suns’ side, the front office seems set on paying Reaves big this summer. King James and crew will have to find defensive grit elsewhere! Thoughts on sticking with Reaves? #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow00Share
Patrick Gonzales+FollowLeBron Calls His Own Shots vs PelicansKing James just reminded everyone why he’s still the smartest player on the floor. In the Lakers’ clutch win over the Pelicans, LeBron not only dropped 30-8-8, but JJ Redick revealed postgame that Bron often ignores the playbook and calls his own number—just like a baseball ace. The Lakers are now 13-0 in clutch games. Is this LeBron-Redick dynamic the secret sauce, or is Bron just that good? #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow00Share
Nicole Obrien+FollowLakers Locker Room: JJ Redick Losing the Huddle?Is Coach JJ Redick losing the Lake Show? After King James returned, the Lakers’ offense has looked lost, and Redick admits he’s out of answers. Rashad McCants didn’t hold back, saying the squad just doesn’t respect JJ—maybe because he went from podcasting with LeBron to drawing up plays for him. Is this just a holiday slump, or is there a deeper rift in the locker room? #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow00Share
guerrajohn+FollowLakers’ Trade Dilemma: Defense or Flexibility?Laker Nation, it’s crunch time! The front office knows King James and AD need more help on D, especially at the wing. But with the Feb. 5 trade deadline looming, the market for 3-and-D guys is tight—think Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III, but the Pels aren’t budging. Do we risk cap space now for a playoff push, or wait for summer moves? What’s your call? #Sports #Basketball #LakeShow00Share
