Two of the biggest stars in basketball.
Celebrated by fans. Hated by their peers.
I hate how much Anthony Davis gets under appreciated, like yeah I get it he unfortunately gets injured a lot, but all of yall know when he’s healthy, that mf is a fucking glitchy demon which a lot of people seem to forget. I love that we have Luka but I do miss AD. He will always be a Laker to me and thank you for helping us win in 2020!!! 🥹💜💛💜💛
Luka Doncic will eventually leave the Lakers. He will be the first all-time great in the modern era to not win a championship with the franchise because the front office is incapable of building a sustainable contender. They just wasted the most cap space in the league on a team that is likely worse than last year and exhausted their entire supply of draft capital in the process.
So the Lakers are probably losing at least
LeBron
Marcus Smart
Kennard
Rui
Kleber
And getting
Quentin Grimes
Mamu
Project 2028 is full steam ahead baby
I’ve been up since 2am. Figured the silver lining in not being able to go back to sleep was getting the first drop in the morning.
Lol.
Getting priced out for winning players/vets is one thing but watching them walk for pennies on the dollar is frustrating.
I feel like we’re headed for a presser along the lines of “anytime you unexpectedly lose a player like LeBron, those shoes can’t be filled in one offseason by one player. It’ll take time but we are focused on elevating this franchise back to contention.”

Lakers big man history over the past decade NEEDS to be studied
Went from giving Timofey Mozgov $64M, to letting Brook Lopez walk for $3M, to trading Mo Wagner and Zubac for nothing. Refused to play Mo Bamba and Jay Huff, and then forced AD to play a position he hates after blowing up the Dwight/Javale duo
We also had our Marc Gasol, Andre Drummond, Montrezl Harrell, DeAndre Jordan experiments..
Mismanagement at its finest 🥲
