STEPH. LEBRON. JIMMY.

I say no….Rui may be very important when LeBron retires….if he ever does……and Reaves is worth a top player and 1-2 1st round picks right now….Lakers can “Just Say No” to any lowball offers….and Williamson has baggage other than his midsection….okay….here’s a wild trade proposal, which is totally unfounded (as well as not checked for salary match….Knecht, Vanderbilt and a swap of 1st round picks for Williamson.

I say NO! Here’s my take on this trade scenario:
So, someone threw out the idea of trading Rui and Austin Reaves for Zion Williamson from the Pelicans. My response? Absolutely not—hard pass! Before even entertaining this notion, let’s ask the real question: Will Zion even *be* available? Since being drafted in 2019, he’s only played in 36% of his games—just 114 out of a possible 318. Sure, Zion is a generational talent, no question. But let’s not ignore the massive red flags here. Is it worth risking the future of our squad for a player who’s spent more time on the sidelines than on the court? Remember Greg Oden, anyone?
The Lakers thrive on reliability and chemistry; Rui and Austin bring that in spades. Why jeopardize all of that for uncertainty? Let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture!

THE LAKERS HAVE OVERTAKEN THE NUGGETS AND CLAIM THE 3RD SEED

The Nuggets, playing without their starters and Peyton Watson, lose 113-106 at home to the Spurs to drop to 47-30 and the No. 4 seed. The Lakers (46-29) jump up to No. 3. If the Lakers win out — or drop another game but still win the Pacific division — they’ll be ahead of Denver.— Jovan Buha (@jovanbuha) April 3, 2025

Great opportunity for Lakers. Suddenly, we might need to win every game. Love to avoid both Thunder and Nuggets until West Finals.

FROM ABOVE ARTICLE:
JJ Redick on the focus of a rare practice on Wednesday following a 17-game month of March:
“Worked on some defensive stuff, but really focused on end-game situations on both ends.”
One example: working on inbounds passes in critical situations.”

JUST IN: The Dallas Mavericks are expected to open up talks to potentially deal Max Christie this summer, sources tell ESPN. There will be plenty of suitors, but it's believed that Christie has most interest in a return to the Los Angeles Lakers. pic.twitter.com/3ZieNasDtV— John #LakeShow (45-29) (@Lakerszn824) April 1, 2025

All the trades (actually proposals/”fantasy GM playing” have gotten out of hand. they are just clickbait!

Aloha,
If you had told me that team would shoot 39% from the field and Luk, Rui and Austin would go a combined 2-16 from 3, I would have asked, how much did we lose by. But like superhero’s coming to the rescue, Gabe and DFS each hit 6 3’s.
But more importantly our defense showed up. Actually I thought our defense was much better than theirs because we missed so many wide open looks. Our small ball line up actually matches up well with the Rockets. Sengun plays below the rim like the Joker without the bulk. This allows both Lebron and Rui to guard him because he isn’t strong enough to move them.
Lebron, Rui, DSF and Vando are big guys and while none are in your face shot blockers they all great weak side help shot blockers as LeBron and DSF demonstrated last night. It will be a challenge in the playoffs against certain teams without a good rim protector in the middle. But I think offensively we can make up for some of that.
That Bulls game still bothers me because of seeding. Yes the main goal is to avoid the play in. Yes it would be great to finish 4th for a first round home series but 3rd would be better because you avoid the Thunder until the conference finals. The bad news is we have a tough remaining schedule. The good news is most all the teams we are battling with don’t have cake walk schedules either. Plus we have tie breaks with everyone except the Rockets and we have one more with them.
Our offense was great against the Griz and our defense was great against the Rockets. Here’s hoping we can start to put the two together in the remaining games.

Excellent post! What a game by DFS and Gabe.

Buba, so true about Gabe…he is back from his long injuries and I was wrong to think he was not an asset. I also am changing my hard criticisms on Vanderbilt (the reset is a work in progress)…with defenses having to double Luka, Lebron, and collapse on Reaves….Vanderbilt has freedom…if he can hit those corner 3’s and get more consistent on defense…(stay on his feet)…then he is an asset (and he was rarely an asset under the previous coach, forgot the loser’s name already, thank GOSH!!!!)….

“forgot the loser’s name already, thank GOSH!!!!)….” Hahaha, that is really funny.

I can’t say how much Gabe has become this team’s reliable and trusted player. Also, he is peaking at the right time. You are right about Vando. We are in the same boat. Great points, as always.

I read somewhere that Zion and CJ have been shut down. Maybe that will help us. But we must keep in mind that we lost to bottom-dwelling teams. Jazz, Charlotte, and the Magic. That is why it is important to keep an eye on the Pelicans to ensure it will not be a trap game.
