He needs to be the 2nd option.

Depends on who this 1st option is. I'm more realistic in a sense where their best case scenario this off-season is Vucevic or Kemba.

Well yeah but in that case we aren't winning anything. He can't take a team over the hump as a #1 anymore

Happy for Ty Lue. But we hired yet another ex-Laker. Only thing to be optimistic about, really, is the fact he was always an overachiever and he always played hard. I love the fact he an underdog yet he's proven to overcome all sorts of challenges throughout his career both as a player and a coach. And dude played alongside and learned from the GOAT, which may be another reason Lebron respects him, which at this point is all we can really ask for.
Now that I think about it even more, there's really no better candidate for the next 2-3 years imho. We just gotta hope Rob Lowe knows what he's doing when it comes to finding the right mix of talent to surround Lebron with and secondly, does he have what it takes to win over a top tier free agent this summer.

I agree for the most part, although there will be some games where Lebron can easily be a #1 option down the stretch too. But it's a good problem to have imo...who's to say the Lakers can't have a 1 and a 1A like the Warriors do with KD and Steph.
I really want Kawhi to come here. He would take a load off Lebron, and his laidback personality is the perfect type of dude we need for this team, the quiet, drama free leader we need.

It’s not like Lue spent a decade here. I don’t consider him Laker family. He played here 20 years ago for 3 seasons lol
I guess he’s looked at differently because he was on those title teams

yall know me im a bron-ovah's witness through and through
and i will agree
bron bron HAS to be no. 2 option if they want to win
he has to do to the new star player what Wade did for him in Miami
and at this point i'm hoping really bad that it's Klaw!!

Stoneface don't seem like the type that wants to be under the Laker spotlight. We don't even have a stable front office, not sure what superstar wants to come to a franchise that's unpredictable and these rumors about who's got power and who's in charge. Maybe somebody will come looking at that young talent and Lebron is still a top 5-7 player.

Keep Kyrie away. I’m more disenchanted with him every game I watch. I’d almost rather have Vucevic (almost lol)
It’s Kawhi/KD or bust.
Any other combo doesn’t win us a ring.

Agreed . Kyrie is one of the those aloof type “different” cats. His basketball skill is off the charts, but do his teammates love to play with him? Dame and Steph are loved by their teams, Kyrie not so much. Look at how they play without him or how he got into it with Hayward a few months ago for not getting the ball....

I don't care if the whole Celtics organization hate him.
Kyrie is a special player.

Man for the love of god keep Vucecic away from this squad.
In terms of tier B players i wouldn't be upset with Kemba at all. but outside of him i would be upset if we paid max money to someone else in that lower tier. I like Jimmy's game a lot & i'm not to thrown off by some of his critics. My only issue is that he's turning 30 & has played for Thibbs a majority of his years, that's a scary sight.

Vucevic is good but he’s always got some injury
And you know our luck with injuries ....:

At the right price I'll take him. Especially if nobody else signs.

You do know Walton wasn't making player decision right, I doubt that will change with Lue.
