"But we're a Championship contender!!!!!"
"Run it back in 2024, I'm sure it'll be fine trotting out a 40 year old in his 21st season and a 31 year old who hasn't played more than 65 games since he was 24 years old......"
Please, wake up fanbase. Truly, wake up. This is not how actual contending teams are built/run. AD's value only goes down, we really need him to be great for the next 20 games, get his value as high as it can be, and pray some other desperate franchise will go all in just to sniff a chance at making a run. (How bout Sacramento? 80)
Otherwise.......we just watchin regular season basketball for the next 2-3 years.
You aren't wrong...
But once again, the fanbase isn't the problem.
Management is the problem. And the Fanbase can't make them make any moves....
Yes, we can.
Stop going to games. Stop buying jerseys. Stop watching on TV. Call in radio shows. Post on Twitter/Insta/FB etc daily.
They will absolutely feel that. Guaranteed.

All I know is, AD or no AD, we better win this game. OKC is damn near a g league team with their roster. There's enough talent to where AD can sit and we should win this comfortably.

Bro...come on.....
You are asking a world wide fan base to stop that?
Say the crowd that goes now just stops?
Trust me people who couldn't afford to go to game would be right there to take those seats.
People will never stop buying laker jerseys especially Lebron since he probably has more non laker fans as his fans.
We already heard you on the radio yesterday.
Hell Twitter killed Russ from the start of the season last year, mid year after the season and they didn't trade him until this deadline.
I know you believe these things would work, but they won't.
Then you guys don't truly want winners anymore. You just wanna consume whatever Jeanie sells you. She has no reason/incentive to ever pay a luxury tax or attract anyone to play for her cuz you guys just gon keep swallowing whatever she shovels.
Sad.

Demand change!
Russ got traded, right?
I'm not saying it will happen in a day, or a month etc. But it CAN happen over time.

What do you mean by you guys?
Bro, you have to understand that WE on NT do not control millions of other people who are apart of this fan base....
I mean some of what you type you can't truly believe.....

The "you guys" (not you) that refuse to believe building around a 40 year old and Mr Glass part time dominant is not worth getting out from under.

We're playing without our three best players: AD, Lebron and D'lo on the second night of a back to back. It's going to be a struggle regardless. Hopefully OKC is in tank mode and just lays down for us.

I get what you're saying but what is the alternative? Trade LeBron and AD for a bunch of draft picks down the line and just tank for the next couple of years? New Orleans owns our pick in either 24 or 25 so there's no point in tanking in either of those seasons.
Running it back with LeBron and AD isn't ideal but we don't really have much of a choice

It's kind of incredible the difference in tone we see between Sunday afternoon and Wednesday. We went from thinking we can beat anybody and singing Rob's praises to half of the fan base wanting us to blow it up

Good luck dealing with the blowback in attempting to to trade two future HOF’s in Bron and AD. We already can’t attract people as is.

We won't have to deal with it because they won't do it unless one or both of them ask for it.
AD being out tonight sucks but man some take things harder then others.
