Man that 21-22 roster was just the equivalent of sitting at the bar with your friend and just "naming some dudes"
Lmaooo just spitballing players
Sooo tru lmaooo
Frank Vogel really went from getting scapegoated with an aging roster that has no depth, to getting scapegoated with an aging roster that has no depth
Time is a flat circle baby
Vogel: What are you guys talking about over there? I can't hear you over the alerts from my bank telling me I'm f---ing rich.
this is my favorite Jerry West eulogy
If JJ takes this job he's going to regret it within two seasons, mark my words.
Good chance he doesnât last two seasons
Simmons made a good point about him building out his media brand and selling it before coaching. Could be worth more than coaching the lakers for X years
2 seasons? more like 2 games
He's gonna regret that shit before Thanksgiving lmao
His pockets won't but he might not get another head coach job after if he cares about coaching
ill do it for some ruffles and a peach ice tea
a man of great taste đ
pit sandwich and some tater salad
đ
Cheddar and sour cream ruffles oooooo
Pulled pork with coleslaw and candied yams..
The 21-22 team is like your doing an 2k15 franchise and you donât want to sign any generated players so you fill your roster with random old dudes
The Lakers supposedly saying they don't need a HC hired before the draft kinda shows the level of hands-on involvement the new HC will get. Which would not make me want to go coach there...
Great point
Having the side camera as the green screen was hilarious imho
this was a full multicam production, 3 different cameras if you include the computer one (which of course you would count that)
Don't forget that the Lakers could have had Ty Lue if not for the bizarre negotiations. The first sticking point was that they wanted Lue's contract to be shorter and line up with LeBron's first exit opportunity, which sent the wrong message. They also weren't going to let him pick his own staff and hired Kidd as an assistant before finding a head coach.
Front office has been garbage since 2010. Iâve always said organization success and failure surrounds everybody from top to bottom
Calling a bunch of multi-millionaires garbage is an interesting take. Certainly your input is high value.
â@@mosessupposes2571ahh yes cause rich people can never make mistakes and be bad at their job right, did you forget that the front office is full of nepo babies
As a Lakers fan I am praying that the Buss Family either sell out or go get someone like Tim Connelly to run the ship. Itâs an easy fix but itâs hard to do it when with the family making decisions more difficult then it should be.
@@mosessupposes2571 deeming that rich people are above reproach or criticism is an interesting take too
@@mosessupposes2571 you sound like the kind of person who will do absolutely anything for money
Dan Hurley turned UConn into a certified blue blood at a school with zero competition from football or baseball. Heâs the king of that town, gets to do what he loves, raise his family somewhere normal, and dominate the big east. I laughed when I heard the lakers were going after him
UConn was always a basketball school prior to Hurley tho
You made a lot of good points about Rob Pelinka and the coach scapegoating except about Darvin Ham. Darvin Ham was terrible. Absolutely terrible. Imagine Doc Rivers' 3-1 meltdowns but for an entire season. He was giving Taurean Prince starter minutes over Rui Hachimura while the D'Lo, Reaves, LeBron, Rui and AD lineup was statistically the best Lakers lineup this season. He benched D'Lo and Reaves during their slumps while playing players who were giving much more terrible production (Prince and Reddish). He barely played Christie or Wood. And so many other issues. The roster construction may have been lackluster but Darvin Ham was awful as the head coach
Nope. He definitely was a scapegoat
I'm gonna apply. They'll love my strategies on 2K
the 2021 team the way i remember it was pretty scary, before lebron got hurt they looked really good.
As long as Lebron is on the Lakers, no real coach will come there. Championship expectations with an aging superstar who still is able to pull strings bringing the scenes, injury prone co star and play in level role players around them. Its a situation built for you to get fired quickly
This 100%. Last season the Lakers had one of the best offseasons ever, signing a bunch of important players on affordable deals. I still remember how shocked everyone was that Reeves didn't get a max offer that the Lakers had to match. I'm disappointed that people are still missing the elephant in the room.
â@@veggiefish4017signing Gabe Vincent, Reddish,Prince,Hayes is the best off season ever!?!?!? Lmao what a asinine statement. Reaves never was going to get a max wtf are you talking about đ you LeBron haters are illogical
Before LeBron got here they didn't have a real coach so what are you even talking about đ
@@bfns23 yeah you right. Lakers have no history of success. Basically an expansion franchise. I forgot
â@@TrollMahoneyAre you being intentionally stupid? I didn't know Luke Walton had any history of success. That's clearly what he's referring to.
âhow attractive is that job that if it doesnât work out, they still have to pay me?â
Me, an idiot: "Man, he sounds a lot like that guy from Secret Base"
Could have been worse. You could have called it SB Nation
As a Lakers fan our ownership & front offices is 100% the problem. People blame LeBron for being so "controlling" when it was actually him and AD wanting to come here that saved us. Jeanie only hires her friends and Rob got an extension right after firing Frank in his post-game presser and doing that Russ trade. We've made so many needless mistakes and no one is being held accountable for it.
Just no real accountability. Much like about Pistons
Nah klutch sports has driven the team into the ground. You got one ring that most NBA fans dont respect and traded your entire future. The once highly coveted coaching job of the lakers is now a complete clown show given to a glorified influencer. The celtics will be the only storied franchise between you guys in 10-20 years. These decisions were 100% pushed by LBJ and klutch
And i forgot to mention its basically guaranteed you guys are drafting bronny at this point. Good luck
The Pistons should hire Mark Jackson. He proved himself to be a great development coach in Golden State, and the Pistons are past the point of caring about his inability to get along with the front office.
I donât see that happening soon with how much money theyâre paying Monty
Bro your channel should have way move views! Great job!
Found youâre channel a few weeks ago been getting recommended a lot of your videos Iâm a fan bro keep up the good work
Appreciate it!
I like the multiple camera angles
Dude the dunk tank analogy made me lol
you need a camera that provides a birds-eye view
This channel rules! Keep it up
thank you Hurley :)
LBJ will be the first player/coach since the 1978-79 season (nearly 45 seasons).
Lebrom jame
Great video Kofie
When are you going to do a whatâs next for all the other playoff teams?
Why would anyone want the job when they know that Bron Bron is actually running things?
Yes, clearly he's running things. That's why Ty Lue is coaching the other team in LA when he wanted him there. Definitely running things.
â@@kyletucker3811 it's still his fault they got westbrook.
â@@kyletucker3811lol theyre hiring his podcasting influencer buddy with no experience as a head coach. And youre actually coping that hes not running things. Lmfao
â@@kyletucker3811Ty Lue isnt there because he knows how toxic it is to work with lebron and knows lebron is well past his prime when Ty Lue had him last
@@kyletucker3811you act like because he didnât get his way, he must not be running things at the lakers⊠are you dumb? If he said âI want to trade for Lukaâ, and they donât get him, you think that means he has no power? Just because he canât get what he wants because nobody wants to play/coach for a team with him on it?
This video came on when i wasnât looking and i thought it was MoTownNoah but he had taken too many THC gummies and was just chillinđ
Rob actually vetoed the draft pick and wanted JHS because he stated he was a kobe fan in his pre draft interview. Guess who used to be kobeâs agent?
Just thinking of some of the Lakers cast-offs. You can put together a pretty good team from the guys they let go of.
Alex Caruso, Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, Jaden McDaniels, DeAndre Hunter, Julius Randle and on and on. What team needs a center but otherwise that's a playoff team for sure.
Definitely not going to get a championship out of them but they're in the play in at least.đ
Kofie the only thing I disagree with you on is that you are placing the blame on Rob Pelinka solely. The entire league knows that LeBron directly affects who is on the team. He thinks that he can assemble a team and then when it fails someone else gets the blame.
Bron haters logic. You think Bron wanted Caruso gone? Bron also wanted Ty Lue and Kyrie on the team but the front office didn't make it happen. Yeah LeBron was ok with Westbrook,but the front office is still the one who executed that dumb trade. They should've told LeBron no on the Westbrook trade and found him another PG that can shoot. This roster build is 100 percent on Rob pelinka and Jeanie Buss
Westbrook trade Bron can hold some stick but for the rest I completely agree. Darvin Hamâs coaching was horrendous and got them to the point where there was no actual starting lineup. Ty Lue and Kyrie completely change LA. That was the right move and they didnât do it which falls under the organisation
Thatâs not true on this lakers roster. Lebron wanted Ty Lue, Jeanie/Rob didnât wanna give a 4 year contract.
Lebron wanted Caruso, Rob/Jeanie didnât wanna give him a long term contract despite being able to.
Lebron wanted back Jared Dudley. He even said publicly that âI thought I was coming back to the lakers, lebron and AD wanted me back but couldnât convince them
Lebron wanted back KCP, Rob/Jeanie used him as a trade piece.
Lebron definitely didnât want a 5 PG roster and didnât want a starting line up consisting of Trevor Ariza, Kent Bazemore, and westbrook or Patrick Beverley as well.
This just flies in the face of all logic. There are so many examples of him not getting his way that you have to be intentionally obtuse to say he's running things.
cappin for lebron crew out in full force in the replies damn
I remember being so shocked at the Westbrook trade "how do they think that will work?"
I can draw up less plays and keep my hands in pockets better than Darvin ham hire me!đ
No you couldnât
People were saying fire bud before the bucks won they ended up winning so he didnât get fired that didnât change his bad qualities and shortcomings as a coach was brutal to fire him so soon after his brothers death
Seeing all the pelinka era moves made me realize how many good teams he built
I'll coach the Lakers.
Rob getting a leash for his role in that championship, while Frank is fired is CRAZY. We already deal with Laker tax, but then u add lebron and a GM some front offices don't like from his agent days other teams don't play fair and u have a recipe of shit cake
ESPN is so bad. Their NBA coverage is a joke
Letâs recontextualise: This is possibly the perfect place for JJ to get his start; any negative outcome is going to be regarded as a failure from the front office and any positive one will be in spite of it. Getting thrown in at the deep end may actually help his development long term.
Hey, I really enjoy your videos! But I don't think that you understand the criticism the laker's fans have to Darvin Ham
Idk if this has only been happening since 2020 it feels like itâs been happening since Phil Jackson left itâs just the reasons have been different, they just canât really find good coaches who want to risk that. At first it was cuz u had old Kobe and u know u would fail, then it was cuz they fucking sucked and had a bunch of memes and Lonzo, and now itâs bron
Itâs a trap, and JJ walked right into it. đ”âđ«
Lets keep it a buck not keeping KCP and Carusso was awful. Assuming they still got Reeves the backcourt would be chill. Personally I would have wanted Deni Avdija instead of Rui because hes a secondary ball handler and a great team defender at 6'9 and now hes shooting 40 percent from three so thats a win. Assuming the team could find themselves a back up center and wing the team would have had all it needed to compete for a while. Shooters and defenders all around with good offensive punch off the bench in Reeves
Are we overrating Caruso or are the Lakers and Bulls just incompetent? Eye test and numbers show heâs a very good NBA starter, but both teams let him go for nothing. I feel so gaslit lol.
Saw a comment the other day of a guy who said he was a âlifelong Lakers fanâ and that Magic Johnson should still be running this team.
That he was the one who brought in Lebron and Anthony Davis and they let him go for that.
1. They did not let him go he resigned
2. He resigned in April 2019 and the AD trade was two months later đ
Still don't know why they let Alex leave
because ownership is cheap.
The Lakers need to focus on the future. If they are trying to win with LeBron, they have to look into the G League for players because they have soured chances what's others star players, plus they have to pay them. They don't have the money. Otherwise, they have to build around their younger players like Reeves in order to keep up with the growing talent in the NBA. 2 or 3 years ago, they could have went for shooters, but a lot of these players want stability in the Lakers aren't providing that right now. LeBron with the Lakers just seems like he's just existing for the sake of basketball. Like a money maker but not really a playmaker. The Nuggets really exposed the current state of the team.
No one with credibility wants to deal with Lebron for 2 years and be fired. Someone like JJ off the street is all they can get right now.
Bro Darvin Ham was trash, actually wild that you still donât think ham is awful
kofie why do you not have an adblocker installed
Im biased as I very much dislike Bron but the problem is Bron and less than Rob. The coaches know this but the fans will ignore it.
I thought Lebron was supposed to be the second option
But Iâm biased too and really donât like Bron because of the Miami days
@@FL1PZ00M yes we all thought that but AD Injuries and Brons ego wonât let that happen
I understand and agree with the Lakers head office making bad moves. Unfortunately the past two years Darvin Hamm has done more damage. Bad lineups, questionable coaching decisions, roster favoritism, and taking favors to play players⊠yeah Darvin has to go
Lakers have a mid aging roster and not enough cap space or draft capital to improve it and what little they do have is gunna get wasted on Bronny.
Holding the mic and shots of a messy room? Only way to make it more candid now is to film in PJs
You call that messy? đ
JJ gonna call Coach K weekly to rant about lebron antics, this job is a deathtrap lol
as a lakers fan, the fact that we could have isaiah jackson and jaden mcdaniels on our team rn makes me sick to my stomach
That Russ trade gutted this team. They have nearly no good role players and nearly no picks.
I think my 8 year old cousin has more emotional and mental maturity than anybody in that lakers front office
Ill do it for some hot cheetos and a 24hr discount mart gift card
Youâll regret it when you have to pay for more cheetos after that with said discount. Should be free for what you would have to deal with đđ
@@silversoulken đ€Ł
Yeah I agree LeBron is literally the coach of the team.đ
As a huge Lebron fan⊠I expect to see lebron walk all over JJ. Think this was essentially âget my buddy his first coaching job and heâll let me run the team how I want while helping my guards become better role playersâ
Honestly the lakers should just hire a random dude. Like an actual puppet. Its really the only solution. Not anyone like JJ who should go to a young team
3:40 KCP on his own is way more valuable than Westbrook to a good team
I donât want to hear no scapegoat or undermined by LeBron talk for JJ Reddick - If and when he fails as the Lakers head coach. Itâs already established and etched in history that he worships LeBron and views him as the greatest/best basketball player to ever live and play in NBA History. He better use all the analytics, advanced metrics and stats to craft the best coach staff and team for LeBron, since thatâs his bread and butter. No excuses because every modern player is bigger, fast, stronger than they ever been due to evolution. These are HIS words not mine. He better draft well & use his genius to milk out every bit of modern talent from these players. And he has all the knowledge on and off the court to keep them healthy so no excuses.
Donald Hadesman aka Awful Coaching would take them to a chip
I really want JJ to go coach a team, not be the scapegoat for the lakers.
This roster will never be good, and yet the fans and players expect to compete for a chip. And worst of all, even if you last 2-3 years until Bron retires, you inherit a team with no young talent and no first round picks.
On top of all of that, YOU DONT EVEN GET TO COACH! You just run the lebron system, youâre never gonna make your own offense or defense.
He's just so pretentious. I don't think he has the people skills to be a good head coach, I don't think he'll ever be able to win over a locker room. It's not enough to be good with strategy; to be a head coach, you also have to be good with people.
@@thareelhelloagainI feel like being good with people is actually significantly more important than the Xâs and Oâs when youâre the head coach⊠good assistants can help with the strategy, the head coach needs to be a great communicator and motivator
Lakers' entire history is just finding scapegoats to blame for their failures
JJ is about to take ALLLLLL THE BLAME now that heâs coach smh. The whole LeBron & JJ podcast was just a fluke, to see how well JJ was at reading the playbook and sharing it.. đ
But letâs go Lakers đ đ
Player LeBronâs greatest nemesis has always been GM LeBron.
Rob pelinka living out of being Kobe Agent ages ago.
The dude wasn't even a good agent.
MAN WE NEED A REBUILD NOT TO BUILD AROUND LEBRON ,WE HAVE ZERO PICKS WE NEED TO BUILD A SOLID CULTURE
Darvin ham only got 2 years because he is an awful head coach and shouldn't have got the opportunity in the first place :D
I'd rather coach 12u đ
What the Lakers need to do is rebuild instead of continuing to retool the core over and over again with the hamster wheel of mediocrity. This organization needs a full shakedown and rebuilding from ownership to players.
Sure I'll go coach them, I'll just chill on the sideline and let Lebron do everything
And you'll be out in two yearsđđđ
Æte SÆn đŹđ
Jeanie Buss is incompetent at running the Lakers. I feel bad for Lakers fans.
Lakers sucked when they got Westbrook yes but they were the funniest team in the league
that time they lost to the kings in triple OT even when russ had 29-10-11 on good shooting splits and low turnovers and better +/- than bron and AD was a good one
Are you telling me that the LA fanbase is so crazy that it creates so much pressure to win to the point that nobody wants to coach this team?
Lakers FO the most incompetent in the league. Its gonna b another rough season ahead. The la head coaching position is not attractive at all. Trash rooster, awful fans terrible front office, owners that refuse to spend money. Bob Polenta needs to go but heâs a nepo ex-fiancĂ© of jeannie
Algorithm comment.
They HAD to sign all those old players because they mortgaged off the entire youn core and had no talent of their own
Is Lebron still there? Then no.
They also act like the Minneapolis rings count as theirs
The lebron timeliness is destroying thos franchise
LeGm probably had a lot to do with the formation of that championship roster so I canât even give Pelinka that much more credit
What sounds silly is this dude thinking LeBron is the Lakers best player SMH
kinda sad that lebronâs career is ending exactly as it started, leading horribly mismanaged teams way farther than they have any right to
I dont think any one wants to coach lebron
Before I even opened the comments I called the multiple comments saying lebron has all the power over who is on the team you nba fans genuinely amuse me
You amuse us too
@@mosessupposes2571 very thoughtful comment
Bubble ring donât count
Counts more than this Mickey Mouse ring that just ended in Boston
@@splashnskillz37 how itâs not the Celtics fault the Mavs trash đthe difference is WE DIDNT TAKE A MONTH BREAK N ONLY LET CERTAIN TEAMS IN THE PLAYOFFS (suns won all the games in bubble n didnât make the playoffs)
This has nothing to do with bus itâs all lebron James ruining this roster
Im biased as I very much dislike Bron but the problem is Bron and less than Rob. The coaches know this but the fans will ignore it.
