Trae Young’s defence is underrated. Ben Simmons hasn’t been the same since he saw Trae coming on the help side.

Pls don’t star hunt . Just build our team… if dlo shows up against Denver we can rock. Our backcourt defensively is already awful and Trae would make it even worse . Let’s go get a backup Center or start one and move Ad to the 4 . And get rid of ham we can be straight

Trae's a monster on offense but a liability on defense. Obviously LeBron can't be expected on that end given his age. So that leaves all the defensive responsibilities to AD. You're gonna create more plays and shots with Trae sure but you're gonna give up a bunch of points too.

Wemby on the background makes this thumbnail perfect It was already great with the Photoshop of trae young but with Wemby it's chef kiss

“2nd only to Luka Doncic” those words hurt any Suns or Hawks fan.

sorry Traes coming to San Antonio to win for longer with Wemby 🤷🏻

They get all this media attention just to get swept by the nuggets lol

Ben Simmons passed in the paint like trae running at him was LeBron on the heat 😂

You are very wrong about LBJ not having playmaking around him. D’lo and Reaves are 2ndary playmakers due to LBJ choosing to dominate the ball. Every time LBJ is out, D’lo or Reaves put up 10+ assists, and all the Lakers players admitted that the ball moves better when he was out, but LBJ has become a better teammate since the all star break, and is moving the ball and playing well off ball. Most Lakers fans are aware of all of this. Lakers without LBJ have about the same win percentage as with him, so this LBJ needs help narrative is silly. Your stats have little context. LBJ off the floor when he started the game is very different from LBJ off the floor when he didn’t even dress for the game.

Hawks bench was a huge part of their success in 2021 also. Lou Will and Galo really produced that season. Especially in the playoffs.

Waking up this Saturday morning smoking a joint while watching this basketball content ✨🔥

I stopped being an Atlanta hawks fan, hell I stopped watching the NBA, when the hawks traded luka for trey young. I knew we would never win anything, we wouldnt even have a chance with a flashy ballhog as our number 1 player....ive been waiting for Atlanta to trade Young for years now so I can get back to loving my team and enjoying the NBA...

Been a while since I’ve watched a video but man does this bring me back to my childhood!! ❤❤

Trae’s camp wants him in San Antonio with Wemby

It only works if LBJ accepts playing off-ball while all 3 are on the floor.

lol everyone leaving LA when they don’t make it past the 1st

Im ready for the playoffs because i see 8 teams in the west that are ready to play versus the east which has 4 teams that could win in there conference

I think Trae Young would actually fit in with Wemby pretty well. Also, going to the Lakers for 1 season with LeBron, maybe with hopes of being the face of the franchise after LBJ, it's as good as it sounds. He's already the face of a franchise and that's not enough, no 1 player can carry a team alone. Sure, that 1 season with LeBron might be enough to get a ring but there's no guarantee.

Lakers with a 40 inch vertical

Bro really used a clip of trae in the playoffs vs miami, where he had more turnovers than shots made in a game and was put in jail by miami

The Lakers main issue is the mismatch in size against the Nuggets. Denver kills them on the boards every time.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Bron and Oscar Robertson are not the only players to ever average 27/7/7 between the ages of 24-29. Jokic did that 2 seasons ago at the age of 27 and Luka has done that every single season of his career except as a rookie. This is his 5th season in a row doing that and his second season between 24-29. Russel Westbrook also did that at 26 and 28. Unless you mean the whole 6 year span of ages 24-29 in which case fair enough. For now, Luka is still doing that although we’ll see if that holds for another 4 seasons.

Hes gotta have his fall guy to take the blame when he fails

4:42why he push jimmy like that 😳

"HELP HELP HELP" ~LeBalco Diddy James

The Lakers already learned the hard way that a 3rd superstar + no depth isn't going to get it done. The current record they have this year is due to the damage Ham did to the team during their December run. That and if the Lakers had the same record they currently have this year, last year, they'd be a Top4-5 team in the West currently. And if Darvin Ham didn't lose his mind for 3 weeks and playing people like Cam Reddish and Taurean Prince extended minutes and keeping DLO, Reaves, etc on the bench with extremely short leashes.. the Lakers would currently have 5 more wins at minimum and would be a top 4-5 team currently. The Lakers problem was Darvin Ham not going to what everyone knew worked from last year and wasting a portion of the season trying to do everything except what we knew worked. Now that he's finally going to what worked, the Lakers have gone on a run and if not for the mid December to mid January run of bad ideas from Ham, the Lakers wouldn't even be in the play-in. The Lakers don't need to put their future and their 3 first round picks for Trae and one year of LeBron and then absolutely no future after that for another 4-5 seasons where they'll barely even have a draft pick. Thanks but no thanks to that. The team already struggled defensively and you want to take away more depth and now ask Trae to be a defender? No thanks. The Lakers currently since Darvin Ham put out the lineup of DLO Reaves Hachimura LeBron AD Have been the #1 Offense in the League. They don't need "more offense" they need better defensive strategy and they need Vando to come back. Adding Trae 'fixes' a problem the Lakers don't have and would just add more offense to whats already been the #1 ranked Offense with that lineup, and even less defense, and no depth whatsoever. That'd be a HUGE mistake. The Lakers need to spend money on getting more wing defenders that can defend from 2-4 and hit the three consistently, NOT "third stars" that kill depth and play no defense. We can stop with the "LeBron needs more help" narrative. Since we went with that new starting lineup across that 25 game stretch the starters numbers are as follows. D'Angelo Russell 20.2 PPG 3.7 RPG 6.4 APG 0.4 BPG 1.1 SPG 44.9% Field Goal 42.3% Three Pointer(on 8.8 a game) 35.4 MPG Austin Reaves 16.6 PPG 5.3 RPG 6.4 APG 0.6 BPG 0.7 SPG 47.9% Field Goal 36.8% Three Pointer(on 3.7 a game) 34.8 MPG Rui Hachimura 15.9 PPG 4.8 RPG 1.2 APG 0.5 BPG 0.4 SPG 59.4% Field Goal 45.0% Three Pointer(on 3.7 a game) 31.0 MPG LeBron James 26.3 PPG 6.9 RPG 8.9 APG 0.5 BPG 1.0 SPG 56.6% Field Goal 45.8% Three Pointer(on 4.7 a game) 35.9 MPG Anthony Davis 24.5 PPG 14.0 RPG 3.1 APG 2.4 BPG 1.2 SPG 55.5% Field Goal 22.2% Three Pointer(on 1.7 a game) 35.6 MPG That's PLENTY of help in the starting lineup. Their bench has been whom has underperformed as of late, sometimes even needing the starters to carry them through entire games whilst the bench puts up single digits. So it's VERY CLEAR that LeBron has enough help from the starters, you can't even say "LeBron needs more playmakers" when he has two guys averaging 6.4 assists beside him, and AD averaging 3.1. Their bench is where the step-up needs to happen, and their bench has an injured Gabe Vincent just coming back, Christian Wood out for the year, and Vando awaiting to return from injury. So that kind of stuff factors into it. Of course this doesn't fit the 'narrative' that LeBron needs more from the starters, but it's what's actually going on. It'd be nice to see that actually reflected in the analysis that actually looks at trajectory instead of going with a narrative that can be debunked with 5-10 minutes of research.

Lakers would be a fool to give up all that for an injury prone Tra

The proposed trade is terrible for the Hawks. They will surely get better offers.

such a horrific trade deal for the hawks

I think if we've learned anything recently it's that trading your entire depth for a third star player is not a good idea. Also, the timelines just don't add up here, Trae is too young.

Haven’t they been saying that since AD got there? Every summer, “Lakers look to add 3rd star this offseason” never happens. Hes a free agent, if he really wants to play with his son, then a good team can draft Bronny, cause he won’t be first round, lots of good teams have a chance to draft him, so that happens, Brons already a billionaire, so would be wise to sign the vet minimum he’s eligible for thus keeping that team good, adding LeBron and have some cash left over. Then LeFlop can get his 5th cause it ain’t happening with the Lakers

Why didn't Lebronze ask for Curry, Kawhi and PG while we're at it? LeGM at it again.

stop normalizing help and team hopping, how the f did Jokic win without all that bs? This is disgusting, thats why NBA viewership is down

I’m sorry, but why does Russell Westbrook not get mentioned when it comes to the same stats? He's averaged 27-7-7, 3 times in his career.

The only things I'm going to say about this is I need to see this take place for me to actually believe it plus everyone hyped up the Suns and well we're all seeing how that turned out and lastly we need to stop giving hype to things before they actually happen

All fun and games till they start hunting down both Mitchell or Trae on defense lollll

Just bring back Dwight Howard the only person that can stop Nikola jokic which will give ad some rest an another big that can block an put the defense down when needed we need the jokic stopper which is Dwight Howard

As a hawks fan, I would trade Trae to San Antonio, if we do trade him. They have better assets by far

Same thing they said when they acquired beal.

idk why we want a pg so bad... we HAVE a point guard. an elite shooter and a great playmaker. we need a mikal bridges more than anything else.

Tre is going to San Antonio

Ain’t no way we give up all that for young

Add in Bronny as a 2nd round pick + win the championship, the NBA has created the perfect story for the family & young kids' audience. Congrats!!

But Lakers doesn't have enough properties to have the trade

Very interesting; I wouldn't mind Young joining the Lakers trading players but I don't think giving up your future picks is a good idea to increase your chances of a Championship this season. I don't see the Lakers winning this season even with Young in the Lakers also there's a chance Lebron will leave the Lakers if Bronny comes to the NBA.

They need a center

Simply put the Spurs can offer more I see no reason why Trae would go to the lakers over the Spurs.

Lebalco…. We will never forget this!!!

Trae is a much better fit with LeBron and AD than Mitchell... Mitchell is a volume scorer/gunner (but an impactful one like Kobe, Westbrook, Rose, Iverson, Pierce, Vince Carter, and TMac) whereas Trae is a great shooter and pure point guard (a hybrid of Nash and Curry), which makes him fit well with both of their play styles (AD is great for lobs and running P&R and LeBron creates open looks for shooters and made the weak supporting casts of his first Cavs run look GOOD, like Gibson, Hickson, Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon, etc., he even helped Mo Williams become an All Star, albeit as an injury reserve, despite his true ceiling being a 6th man off the bench on a good team, like he was on the Clippers and Blazers. LeBron was just THAT good to make him and Jamison work as #2 options for a while). Both of their defense is bad, but Mitchell just gives me vibes of Westbrook and Melo with them, only in his prime. Mitchell's best fit is probably staying in Cleveland (Garland is a REAL PG and Allen and Mobley are great rim protection for the lack of D of him and Garland, as well as P&R/lob threats), unless Brunson doesn't mind being the #2 option again. I know LeBron played with JR Smith and Clarkson in his second Cavs run, but they knew their roles as 6th man gunners, similar to Jamal Crawford and Lou Williams (none of those four would take you to the playoffs as your best player, which is why I lumped Mitchell with the likes of Kobe and Iverson and not JR Smith), so they mainly ran the 2nd unit while LeBron rested most of the time.

To think that he won a title with the Lackers sorry Lakers then immediately dismantled that team instead of building on that foundation.

Like hell the Hawks are gonna trade the only star their franchise has had in decades for a bunch of overrated role players

GIVING UP RUI FOR TRAE YONG WOULD BE THE DUMBEST MOVE EVER.. IM NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT REEVES YET..

If I'll be the management of LA i wont go with Trae, I'll go with the likes of Jeremi Grant, Bruce Brown that can help AD with defense.Cameron Johnson,Keldon Johnson(Spurs), BPortis, or even Mikal Bridges. Those are young players that even if Lebron retired, they can still keep or even become a trade asset.

Lakers needed help, not easy for refs to create such FT discrepancies compare to 2nd ranked one, for 2 straight years. On the other hand, Lakers play with more efforts & ease & flow when he's injured / resting & beating teams. So the other help (assist) LeBron can do is sit.

I hate how people always say Lebron or ad needs help right now It's LA And Lebron's last chance for a championship He doesn't need help he needs to do it on his own Yeah he's doing everything for his team but that's still not enough and he doesn't need help That's the biggest excuse ever Hakeem olajuwan Didn't have help and he won in a tuffer era

A ft guard whose had one good playoff series won’t help LA beat denver

Why every time the Cleveland Cavaliers get somebody good everybody want to take them from them I’m a Cavs fan and we already don’t get taken seriously we got a record for knowing to suck like why y’all do this is so annoying get Trae Young to not take Donovan Mitchell LeBron will only blame shit on Donovan Mitchell then Dovovan will leave after all the LA hate I mean seriously does nobody see this stuff coming but me😂

Lol they don't need more help... They need LeBron to stop dribbling out the clock and moving the damn ball. They have play making he just won't allow them to use it. No matter what position he's *guarding* in the other end isn't gonna stop him from hogging the rock Damn shame when y'all *greatest* needs all the help in the world to get shit done. Edit: fixed lol, was driving

Bron equals P.E.D.

Westbrook average a 30 p triple double at age 28

Dak Prescott is KING 👑 🙏 palms 3:45

Dejounte ruined the hawks Trae was the scorer and playmaker ever since Dejounte came he had to share the ball more than usual(horrible trade)

Just the opposite. The Lakers have a ton of playmaking ability in the backcourt in D-lo and Reaves, but LeBron is known to have such high usage that he lowers the stats of playmaking guards on his team. This has been the case through his entire career. Vogel actually moved him to point guard for this very reason, and that resulted in a championship. This season's Lakers are lacking on defense more than offense, and adding an offense only player like Trae won't make that any better. LeBron in many ways is playing much like a higher usage Dejounte Murray, which we see playing with Trae didn't work out well. Yes, LeBron adds the post-up element, so maybe that changes things a lot. But the analogy holds, as Trae was supposed to turn into this off-ball Curry clone, and he didn't. Kyrie plays well off-ball, so he fit with LeBron, even if Kyrie wasn't happy about it. Trae doesn't fit well at all.

Bron is such a douche. Lakers should just cut their ties with him at this point. Even the fans ain’t rocking with him anymore. How many solid players have Lakers gotten rid of just to give him what he wants. Not to mention future picks. I’m sick of his antics.

ya cause they really need trae young (sarcasm) the dude is a straight ghost on defense, not even a parking cone

They need a good defensive player, with their back court being atrocious defensively and Lebron being a liability defensively at this point, outside of AD they are terrible defensively, they need a good defensive center or guard, that is not Trae Young.

Lebron or AD Is going to leave if another superstar joins

Personally if i’m the Lakers I wouldn’t go for Trae Young 🙅🏻‍♂️

When I think “win now” one of the last players that comes to mind is Trae Young lol

of course, Lebron wants another star just to get another ring... Ya'll think his ring is worth it to become one of the best then!? 😂😂😂

Perfect scenario would be we get Trae. and for some reason another team drafts Bronny Bench Warmer James and Lebron Leaves the lakers to play with him. we done with Lebron and his toxic fan base in LA.

the lakers need to keep austin, trea is to much of a liability on defense

Trae will not go to the lakers. Trae is also a horrible fit on the lakers

Or Bronny... Second round pick

Having the refs on your team ain't enough for Labronica? The Real goat that he is lol LA has been gifted over 1000 more free throws than the closest team over the last 2 yrs. Magnetic 🧲 backboards and the refs help the real Goat "MJ" didn't need like the guy who reads books upside down lol

Honestly the Lakers have really screwed up these past few years we should of never ever ever signed LeBron yeah he is a great player but this really screwed up our future now we are going to settle for a superstar like Trae Young who is not a good fit for LA at all and he is a freakin diva from what I hear about him none of his teammates really like him and its not like Kobe where people didn't like him because he wanted to make them better its more like a Terrell Owens where he makes people miserable around him... I really would love for us to blow this shit up because once LBJ is gone AD is going to fall back to being a fragile player always on the DL, Trae going to get upset and the locker room is going to be miserable... Lakers Nation we need to seriously get real about our future now because the rest of the league is getting stronger and we are still chasing stars...

Trae is still averaging those numbers. Trae is not going anywhere. When DJ and Trae play together they average 10+ assist for Trae and 5+ for DJ. DJ turns into a SG when Trae is on the floor. That's good, you are a liar.

Except it won’t happen

Get to the ECF and DON'T retain that group? Segregation existed the last time they won a title! Send the to Seattle. Smh Lakers (and EVERY TEAM that supposedly didn't have enough help for Lebron) would benefit from him playing more like Magic.

This idea is totally BS! If I am Trae Young or any other All-Star player today with expiring contract, I will go to #Spurs and join #Wemby...😊🏀🏆 With Spurs culture & winning tradition, it would be easy to win a ring rather than dealing with ego, toxic attitude & drama of #LeBron...😎🤣👊💪

We dont need trade this team antony davis can lead this team hes playing this year healthy and fire coach who can use 2 centers need hire coach maybe need find center who can play drummknd or valuncinuis and lebron meed wait sign another free agency to many option have klay thompson or paul george have to option sign lebron if stays need veteran minimum sign hes already billioner had 20 or 25 million cntract sign need next year can land another star for sure

Zach LaVine is the answer

Rui and Reaves are more valuable than Trae I'm sorry

Not worth it

LeRoid

🤣@ Fatkins as a reputable source 🙆‍♂🤦‍♂ On the topic of the video, ATL gonna be smart trading mice-trey ASAP, he is not a winning type of player u can build a great team around. And if the Lakers think he's gonna fit well next to lebron I can only smh, gonna finish the same as with Russ and maybe even worse because mice-trey is even smaller and pathetic @ D than Russ was.

The Lakers are doomed I'm telling you now the Lakers will draft bronny jr to keep LeBron and if they do bron will want bronny to have playing time it will be bad

No they won't

I thought Mr. Announcement wouldn’t retire till he plays with his son? The Lakers are awful!

"HELP HELP HELP" LeBalco Diddy James

why wouls the Lakers ruin their future for a 40 year old and a washed big?

bench stat padder Lebron and he will have anothet ring. keeping the balls as always but hindered his teammates development as usual

D LO better than trae young

who's here after Lebron sacked all the coaches

Doesnt surprise me that LeFraud is trying to build yet another LeSuperteam that will tank the franchise he's playing for 😂😂😂

Labron a female basketball player

Trae is too bad defensively to be ATL's #1 option. Depending on what roster players LAL has to give up, their solid defense can mask Trae's weakness on that side of the ball. LAL *cannot* make the same mistake they did with Russ (trading key role players) if they do go after Trae.

Second

They should just trade LBJ for Tray and some picks. Davis is the best Lakers.
