As a Lakers fan they won’t truly have their window to win until like 2 years. Once LeBron is gone next year (hopefully) as a free agent it will still take probably one more year after that to get the adequate pieces around for Luka to thrive. And trust the NBA desperately wants the Lakers to be good whether you hate it or love it. Just a matter of time.

It’s all personnel. I don’t think JJ is responsible for assembling a team with a 41 year old and a bunch of guys that could care less about defense.

Are we back to “the Coach has lost the Locker Room” for the Lakers again? Different Coach. Same problems. Especially with the poor transition Defense. At some point, it’s on the Players.

JJ DIDNT PLAY DEFENSE WHEN HE WAS A PLAYER SO HOW CAN HE TEACH SOME ONE SOMETHING HE NEVER DONE HIMSELF

There’s a difference of not playing defense due to effort or due to physical disadvantage. Which part do you think JJ falls and what the Lakers fall

Perk is fun to listen to and a great former celtic. But anyone else notice Perk is allowed to say the lakers cant defend….but somehow their own coach cant discuss a game with poor defense. Furthermore, Redick didnt call out a single individual player. I sense some racial undertones. Redick is being told he cant be critical even when everyone else is saying exactly the same thing.

Lol nobody understand what JJ is saying. This Roster you built Rob isnt good enough for the system, culture, scheme i want to run. Ive watched 🎥, practice etc with them. Watch everyone say well lebron takes 50 million. True but Gabe, Vando,Maxi, Rui all make bout that. Your Job is to build. Lakers have the worse bench in NBA guys. Luka Bron n Luka can go off but if our OTHERS arent good enough 1st round exit. Because i know someone dumb gonna come talk about bron. But again This Luka Team. Bron couldn’t get a extension yall said. Luka runs this yall said. Now when LA with luka get to next year year after with no ring or mvps. Who will yall finally blame 🤔? Klutch 😂 or Rob? Or will you blame luka? Because when it was 23-6 you expected a chip. At 30 plus years old lol. Not 26 27. We gonna see Will yall Keep that same energy for 77.

Perk is elite at switching up. A month ago, the Lakers were going to the WCF 😂😂😂.
I need one of these YouTubers to put together a montage of Perks switch ups.
