I react to LeBron James opting out of his contract and what's next for the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason.

I cover why LeBron opted out, why it helps LA, the possibility of him taking a pay cut, the current roster and financial situation, what I'm hearing about Klay Thompson, how Klay would fit in LA, Max Christie, why the Lakers have no excuses not to upgrade this roster, what an ideal Lakers offseason looks like, and more.

    You're the most knowledgeable Lakers insider I know of. Thanks bro!
  • @timunderscore
    Credit to Lebron for wanting to do what it takes to win
  • @manny24lal
    Not interested in Klay if it has to be a s&t for Dlo. If we sign Klay on the mle and trade Dlo for other impact players I’m all on board
  • @chegui2505
    If I'm Pelinca I call Utah Jazz and ask for what it take to get Colin Sexton and Walker Kessler in a trade...And try to sign Klay Thompson.That is all we need
  • @daggerthree
    I've been somewhat forgiving of Rob. But now is the time. Make a move! No excuses.

  • @malchodge4075
    Next up hot young up and coming reporter keep grinding !!! Always great content
  • @LakerGang2001
    The ball is in Rob Pelinka's court, this off-season could be his last if he manages to screw this up! Gonna stay positive tho and hope we make the right moves
  • @ThePrivateryan
    I wouldn't be surprised if Reddish, Wood, Hayes, Lewis, JHS and Gabe were gone by the start of the season. I'm actually expecting it honestly. Remember also that D-lo has a mighty attractive contract for trading. I would rather have D-lo stay to be honest because if Bron accepts a lesser role and with Coach Reddick at the lead, D-lo could take his game to the next level! Klay Thompson, meh I'm not sold unless we could get him for the MLE. HE would be a great replacement for T.P for sure though. I still think we need defenders more than offensive firepower at this point

    If we don't land a center, a TRUE BONAFIDE center not a 4/5, but an 5 who rebounds and protects the basket, either via LBJ's paycut or some other way, we will NOT win a championship. #LN4LIFE💜💛

    No on Klay. Lakers have enough guards. They need a big that can play at least 20 Quality minutes every night. James and Davis are going to Paris this Summer. I expect both to miss a ton of games. D. Russell, 5 stops in nine years. Great shooter. Bad teammate? Still trying to figure out how Knecht is the steal of the draft. He was the 8th guard taken.
