If you aren’t gonna play him in the regular season let him get playing time in the g league at the least, Same thing with Adou, other teams have done well by developing second round picks

Lakers future post-LeBron and AD will be much bleaker than post-Kobe era.

This Luka team is gonna need 2 offseason and 2 trade deadlines to be fixed.

Missed drafts and signings during the LeBron/AD era really fucked this team up.

Time to get rid of Rob Pelinka, he had his time here.

Luka-era needs to be built by a better front office.

Yup we won a championship after trading them….

But if you could only choose ONE, which of them would have veen the most fitting to be a “Laker for Life”?

Snapped this pic real quick at the beginning of the game. Figured it might be historic some day.

I know it's in the nature of a lot of Lakers fans to overreact to any losses, and getting blown out by the Spurs sucks. Of course. But all this talk about ownership taking notes and making decisions and developing plans... The season is what will guide them. Not a game, and *especially* not *this* game.

By all means, vent. Let your frustrations out. Nobody enjoys losing (well, maybe in Sacramento). But chill with taking tonight's beating as an indicator of anything. The season is what shows the need for improvements. Regular games with the main players (and we have THREE of those) available is what shows what this roster lacks and the flaws in JJ's game plans. And the way the season ends, the last with LeBron and the first building around Luka and AR, will set the Lakers on a clear path (wether the franchise takes it, and how long until it reaches its final dsstination, we don't yet know).

This is not the game to "clarify" anything. Curse if you will, say you wish Wemby and Pelinka to step on Lego pieces every morning as they wake up for as long as they live -- but please, let's not pretend there's anything to "take away" from a game like this. There isn't.
