He’s speaking to the Lakers fans who got their new shiny toy in Luka and tossed LeBron aside and talk so much shit even though he’s been their best and most efficient player these last 15 games.

Really such a toxic fan base. Gifted superstar after superstar and take it all for granted.

Lakers fan when LeBron has a bad game “he’s old washed, get him off the team.” Luka plays poorly = “he’s fat, heliocentric ball dominant player needs to learn to play defense and stop complaining”

Our fan base is split into 4 categories: Actual Lakers fans, Kobe stans, LeBron stans, and Luka stans/Mavs fans that are rooting for Luka only. Actual Lakers fans just want to see the team do well while the stans want to win only on their guy’s terms or for Mavs fans they just want to see Luka do well.

Lakers have generally drafted well under Pelinka if you expand your sample.

And can you blame them?

Last summer the Lakers didnt offer Lebron an extension and he is only playing as a laker this season because he used his player option.

Its pretty obvious that the trio Luka, Lebron and AR doesnt work (meaning be a candidate for the title) because noone defends there, and Lebron is by far the oldest of the 3 and gets over 50 million a year.

If you are a neutral fan on this, its pretty obvious that the move the Lakers should do is part ways with Lebron and build around Luka.

And the status Lebron has in the Lakers for the real Lakers fans isnt the same he would have with the Cavs or the status Kobe had. If he was in Cleveland right now, the Cavs would extend his contract until he wants to retire even if that means “wasting” some seasons. Lakers wont do that.

If you are a neutral fan on this, its pretty obvious that the move the Lakers should do is part ways with Lebron and build around Luka.

Is it? He regularly looks like the best player on the team. What realistic moves could they make that would make them better immediately? It’s not like they would get Giannis for him, and the contenders that could use him to win a championship aren’t likely to give up young underpaid talent for a guy that is a couple years from retirement (even if he’s currently playing at a level where the trade would make sense).

I don’t why people act like that because he’s getting paid X, that they would easily be able to get X worth of extremely productive players. The last time they tried they ended up paying like $50m for D'Angelo Russell, Mo Bamba and Lonnie walker, and before that $50m for Westbrook.

Is it? He regularly looks like the best player on the team.

Regularly? You and I know that isnt true.

The Lakers without Lebron are 11-6 this season which is a better win rate than the team record with Lebron. If he is the best player in the Lakers, how is that stat even possible? And im not even gonna mention that after 21 games and a winning record for the Lakers he has a negative +/- while on court, and its a worste +/- than Luka, AR or even Ayton. He sure has been Lakers best player in some games, but certainly not regularly the best, at all.

What realistic moves could they make that would make them better immediately?

They cant do anything immediately. Lebron activated his player option so the Lakers will just waste this season and there is nothing they can do about it, but next summer they will part ways with Lebron and try to build around Luka with the space they have left.

It’s not like they would get Giannis for him

(even if he’s currently playing at a level where the trade would make sense).

Current Lebron isnt playing at Giannis level. Be a bit serious. Also im not talking about parting ways with Lebron right now, but at the end of the season.

I don’t why people act like that because he’s getting paid X, that they would easily be able to get X worth of extremely productive players. The last time they tried they ended up paying like $50m for D'Angelo Russell, Mo Bamba and Lonnie walker, and before that $50m for Westbrook.

Sure. But just because they got it wrong in the past doesnt mean that the Lakers have to settle with this situation and not try to build a contender team around Luka where clearly Lebron doesnt fit.

ImAShaaaark | Supersonics

Regularly? You and I know that isnt true.

He has been in 3 of the last 5 games. Yes, that’s regularly.

The Lakers without Lebron are 11-6 this season which is a better win rate than the team record with Lebron. If he is the best player in the Lakers, how is that stat even possible?

They went from having like the easiest schedule in the league to among the hardest, while also dealing with like half the team missing games. Both their PFs have missed significant time, both of their best defensive guards have missed significant time, their 3rd best player has missed a ton of games, Luka missed a few games, as has their backup center.

And im not even gonna mention that after 21 games and a winning record for the Lakers he has a negative +/- while on court, and its a worste +/- than Luka, AR or even Ayton.

He largely plays a lot of offset minutes from Luka to keep the backup squad from hemorrhaging points, since they are the only two playmakers currently playing. With all the starters dealing with injuries he’s been playing with 3rd stringer lineups against a much tougher schedule than they faced earlier this year, how do you expect his on/offs are going to look?

I swear to god, do ya’ll even watch the games?

They cant do anything immediately. Lebron activated his player option so the Lakers will just waste this season and there is nothing they can do about it, but next summer they will part ways with Lebron and try to build around Luka with the space they have left.

They could trade him with his approval. They’d probably get more value out of that if the could find a good trade partner than they would if they just let him walk in free agency.

Sure. But just because they got it wrong in the past doesnt mean that the Lakers have to settle with this situation and not try to build a contender team around Luka where clearly Lebron doesnt fit.

Who said anything about “settling for the situation”? I think they will pay him, presumably a lesser amount than he is currently making, and use the remaining money to acquire other pieces. They also have like $40m in expiring contracts other than LeBron. I can’t see how they’d be better without him unless:

He expects a pay raise (which seems unlikely).
They manage to arrange a blockbuster trade for Giannis and can’t afford it with whatever LeBron deserves to make.
They get a crazy haul in FA (idk, Kessler, Wagner, Thybulle, Mathurin, Eason, and Sexton or something).

5 games isnt a good enough sample in a season lol.

They went from having like the easiest schedule in the league to among the hardest

That is absolutely not true. In that 11-6 record without Lebron the Lakers have faced teams like: OKC, San Antonio (twice), Boston and Minnesota (twice). Thats playing 7 of those 17 games without Lebron against contenders. There were also games vs non contender teams but that have a winning record like Miami or GSW.

he’s been playing with 3rd stringer lineups against a much tougher schedule than they faced earlier this year

Again, its absolutely false (and you know it) that Lebron is having lately a tougher schedule than the Lakers had at the start of the season without him. Its just a pure gaslighting attempt.

In the last 10 games that Lebron has played, 7 of them were against sub 0.500 teams and only 3 against winning teams. The last one was Detroit on his birthday december 30th 2025, the other 2 were Houston and Phoenix earlier in that month (all of them defeats btw). The only winning team the Lakers have faced this 2026 was San Antonio and Lebron decided to sit out that game because it was back to back and chose to play the Pelicans instead.

Actually Lebron has only played 8 games vs winning teams this season, and the Lakers are 3-5 in those 8 games.

I can’t see how they’d be better without him

I do. He is pretty incompatible with Doncic in terms of being competitive in the league. The Lakers will not win a ring with Luka, Lebron and AR together, its not gonna happen. So they have to chose between one of them and Lebron in his is 40s. So its really a no brainer.

5 games isnt a good enough sample in a season lol.

Fine, I went and counted, and in 8 of the 21 games he’s played in he was the best player on the court for his team. That’s a significant portion considering he was playing himself into shape and has luka fucking doncic on his team.

Again, its absolutely false (and you know it) that Lebron is having lately a tougher schedule than the Lakers had at the start of the season without him. Its just a pure gaslighting attempt.

LeBron came back against Utah, the only difficult games they had in the first part of the season before he came back were the Thunder and the Spurs.

The only winning team the Lakers have faced this 2026

And you complained about my sample size.

Actually Lebron has only played 8 games vs winning teams this season, and the Lakers are 3-5 in those 8 games.

This is why I generally dont understand everyone’s desire to always rank things. I totally get theres a general grouping of the best players of all time but so much of this shit is subjective and hard to really break down era by era.

I have my personal top ten of all time but that tends to lean on more stylistic factors, actually putting out a numerical ranking that isn’t subjective is impossible so I never understand why people get so up in arms about it. I will say it does lead to some fun conversations though if people can be normal about it.

I like to put things in tiers. So there is a GOAT tier of players, then a secondary you’re under that, and so on.

It allows you to sidestep some of the comparison stuff, especially between eras. Of course, this will just shifts the debate to the borders between the tiers, but it’s a smoother way to do it, imo.

I’ll never understand why he’s such a lighting rod for so many people.

Basketball players are uniquely obsessed and defensive with regards to where other people think “their dude” stacks up all time. LeBron moonwalked past Kobe as his contemporary, and many of his fans take it personally. Similarly, he’s the only one to legitimately challenge Jordan for the top spot, so his superfans get defensive as well.

You generally don’t see the same happening in other sports. Can you imagine Maradona fans coming out of the woodworks to shit on Messi every time he is brought up (or even when he wasn’t brought up)? Or Gretzky fans constantly slandering Ovie and circle jerking over a few lowlight reels once it looked like he was on pace to beat Gretzky’s goal record?

Breezyisthewind | Lakers

Maradona and Messi isn’t the greatest example. Maradona’s fanboys very much slandered Messi until he won the World Cup.

They can’t stop heaping praise on his greatness. We get it. It’s why we’re watching the Lakers. I don’t need to be reminded every time he touches the ball that he’s 41 and doing things that no one has ever done. And have you ever noticed how much criticism every player that plays with LeBron gets? It’s all because it makes him look bad. Because if he’s the GOAT, he should still be winning rings. So it’s always someone else.

Yeah, he’s the goat and it’s not particularly close.

Bill Russell was the goat of the old nba, pre merger. He played at a time when the league capped the number of black players per team. When chuck taylors were the best shoe and when players smoked during the timeouts. There were only 8 teams in the nba for most of his career and most of the players in the nba had full time jobs in the off season. You really want to compare players from 60 and 70 years ago to today’s game?

Some of the downvotes on this thread are delusional. Lebron might be the best athlete of the century and without question he cares. Also, having a guy take up so much of the salary cap who is incapable of playing all the games to age is a questionable decision. It’s okay to have that conversation.

JJ Will be gone this year, Lebron is holding the lakers future to ransom as he checks out of games, setting a terrible example for his son actually. U can see how checked out he most of the time.

Lebron’s longevity is utterly remarkable. But him getting celebrated for being willing to play consecutive nights is the indicator it’s time to retire soon.

Him being 41 could also be the reason. So dumb.

No-Aioli-1014

I’m a fan of Bron, but that does mean he should be looking at retirement if he knows in the future his body is incapable of doing 82 regular season games. That would be the truth if he was 31.

JJ Redick: “I don’t take for granted the LeBron stuff… It’s actually unfortunate how much this guy puts into it and how much he cares and the way certain people talk about him. It’s crazy. Come be around him every day and see how much this guy cares. It’s off the charts”
