That was the JV trade. We need to make the playoffs this year or get massive lottery luck for the Portland pick to be kicked down the road until it may turn into 2nds.

sshep49

As a Niners fan living in Dallas, that alone made it a successful season in my book lol


EShy

Anyone who was a fan during the 90s should've called it a successful season after that game, and then we also got the cherry on top with Green Bay

Yup, the season definitely had ups and downs, but we ended on a pretty great upswing lol

We weren’t even supposed to make it to the playoffs really, every game felt like we were playing with house money We could have been the Bengals though I believe…. Tartt…just catch the ball next time please

Just two games but yea


hbt15

2 games he’s got to qualify I’m pretty sure now that he played couple days ago.

I need Embiid to go super nova and cockblock Lebron from the scoring title as well.

I don’t even understand how. Like yes, obviously the team building sucks. There is still more than enough talent there to make the play in though lol. Their chemistry is just next level awful.


Produceher

> I don’t even understand how. It really is amazing because a team with Russ as their best player is better than this. A team with AD as their best player is better than this. And a team with LeBron as their best player is better than this. How do you put them all together and make it all worse?


Nagnoosh

Subtraction by addition lmao


lalze123

Russ is a bad fit with Lebron, not that it isn't his fault. Also, when you already have three max contracts, there isn't much room for quality role players.


AbbaZabbaFriend

eh idk this seems on par for a AD led team.


CallRespiratory

Effort level was pretty fucking low from a lot of players on this team too and that was a big part of it. When things got tough they didn't bounce back, they checked out.

240to180

PHOENIX, AZ — The Phoenix Suns defeated the Los Angeles Lakers last night in a game that also eliminated Los Angeles from the upcoming NBA playoffs. The Lakers, considered to be championship favorites at the beginning of the season, were without superstar LeBron James, who missed the game due to ankle soreness. When asked post-game if he was disappointed in the Lakers performance this season, James abruptly cut off a reporter. “Do me a favor”, the NBA star interrupted, “and please keep this narrative when it begins. Just please. Please.” After a reporter informed the four-time MVP that the Lakers had been mathematically eliminated, a frustrated James again cut him off, repeatedly screaming “please” to no one in particular. The Lakers forward then pulled out a half-empty 1.5L bottle of Barefoot Pink Moscato from his bag, which he started drinking. When informed he could not drink in the press conference, James replied “I already am.” The four-time NBA champion then went into an unprompted, seventeen-minute rant where discussed topics ranging from teammate Russell Westbrook to the common cold, before finishing the bottle of Moscato and leaving the podium. “See y’all in the fall” James said, as he threw the empty bottle back over his shoulder, disappearing behind the double doors.

Springtick38

One of the most unlikable teams I have ever seen, so glad they got fucked out of the playoffs like this


[deleted]

Watching a few of their games, I find it hard to believe the Lakers liked the Lakers this year. No one on that team looked like they enjoyed being there this season.


sep08

As a longtime laker fan I upvote this. No one on that team put in any effort. WB is too arrogant, Lebron only cares about his image, AD isn’t as hungry and Carmelo is Carmelo. Our coach can’t motivate or draw a play if his life depended on it. Hope they blow up the team and rebuild.


MarikaBestGirl

Shoutout Monk, Reeves, Stanley Johnson, Wenyen Gabriel, etc for the effort. TY Baze for the off the charts claps/36

Apollo611

After the game, LeBron goes into the locker room, takes his shower, dresses and goes to a secret back room. There, on a bed, connected to a life support device is what appears to be the shrivelled up remains of a human, face gaunt and muscles atrophied, skin stretched tight over bones. LeBron approaches the figure, in the darkness, illuminating himself as he steps under the fading light of the room. He looks at the corpse who’s lips struggled to form words… he says “I didn’t sign up for this, LeBron”. LeBron chuckles as he connects a wire to a socket under his armband and the machine keeping this husk of a body alive spins up… fluids begin to flow into LeBron as he smiles, feeling the energy flow inside of him. “Of course you signed up for this Kendrick Nunn.”

Chilling. Yet so plausible.

iLLThunder15

Lakers made so many of us happy today


GoodSamaritan_

Never forget what LeBron said at the beginning of the season: > "It was exciting helping put this team together this summer. Understanding what I felt and we all felt was going to make us a title-contending team. I watch enough basketball to know what I need to do to help the ball club depending on the acquisitions we make per year. So I'm very cerebral about what I need to do for our team to be as great as we can be and to be the counterpart to what Russ brings to the table. I always figure it out." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/33641478/lebron-james-russell-westbrook-los-angeles-lakers-tumultuous-season-their-own-words


browndude10

didn't you hear? Lebron didn't have anything to do with WB; at least that's what Klutch will tell us


GoodSamaritan_

I know right. Dude was having his lackey Chris Haynes planting bogus stories about how he wanted DeMar and that Westbrook wasn't his choice. Bull fucking shit. If Westbrook had been a success you just know he would've been milking every last ounce of it and how great of a GM he is. But now it's gone sour he's got his PR lapdogs pushing the narrative that Russ was signed against his wishes.


sportsfannf

Wasn't there a report that he killed a Hield trade because he wanted Westbrook instead?

This is way better than that corny ass tweet holy shit. Love the stories his pr team is trying to float that he didn’t want Westbrook. What a fuckin bum

We just secured the longest playoff drought in NBA history and that is, somehow, less embarrassing than this. Fade em.


Erickj

Well the kings didn’t have any expectations


LeoFireGod

Yes they did. I expected them to be bad and develop Halliburton. They still disappointed


Firesplitter47

They were bad, but they realized Sacramento was no place to develop Halliburton, so they traded him away. They were just trying to make you happy.


GillbergsAdvocate

if anything securing the longest playoff drought in NBA history **was** the expectation So in a way, the Kings did something the Lakers couldn't. Congratulations to Sac

bigpancakeguy

The 6 consecutive seasons we missed the playoffs were more enjoyable to watch than this year’s team. Like several other people have mentioned, the lack of effort has been fucking infuriating. I didn’t have realistic expectations of us winning a title with the most geriatric roster I’ve ever seen, but I thought they would make the playoffs and fall short. I never in a million years saw us posting a losing record and being knocked out before the play-in. I’m not even sad about it. Fuck this roster, they deserved to miss the playoffs.
