dance got to stay strong now we singing the same song All I ever think about you I think about you daily so baby girl don’t [Music] play think about you they call me Dan the Lakers and I got a master plan for the Lakers back to the promised land spread the vision through my people cuz we fans are equals when we reach 20K Subs yet we going to drop a sequel another Lake ANM what up Laker family it is your boy dtlf back with another video oh man listen we are restless Laker fans have been letting me know that I should go live again because you know shout out to my Laker family by the way we are all disappointed with the start of this free agency nothing is coming and everything is going it seems like even the Clippers are getting solid free agents they just landed another one uh so I had to do it I had to do it man uh extremely disappointed guys extremely disappointed but at the same time I’m keeping my head level meaning free agency is just in day two right now all right there has been in the past free agencies where the real moves happen day four 567 okay so for those parts I understand that the market is drying up Gary Harris just signed Chris dun just signed everybody’s saying sell the team this or that now definitely question marks question marks to be had eyebrow raisers for sure especially with Rob palinka what are you doing what are you doing right now uh but you know it started off as a bad day when we lost uh you know when we lost the big fish and Klay Thompson and it seems like it’s been repetitious matter of fact shout out to my boy Chris who tagged me on this graphic he made I want to share it with you guys here man shout out to him it cheered me up a little bit it’s hilarious uh he said Robin jeie front office same story year after year it’s a parody of the show The Office pretty cool man shout out to court King Chris that’s really really clever brother uh so thanks for tagging me with that before I went live now the main free agents are gone however Demar de Roan is still out there I know some of you guys don’t want him he could be a major help especially offensively uh you talk about a player that likes to float like a butterfly from the mid-range and sting like a bee um big fan of dear he would fit in he would improve this roster but he’s not what we need so I I do um I do understand your guys’s concern and what we need however can come via trade the main concern is that the report was that maybe LeBron will no longer take a pay cut unfortunately and uh that is very concerning for everybody involved because that gives us no wiggle room whatsoever uh but okay I got a nice little update for you guys uh from earlier today so um the Lakers may send D’Angelo Russell to a third team to land Demar de rozen according to Jake L fiser uh it says for the Lakers to bring on D rozen Los Angeles may have to work with a third team to offload some salaries such as D’Angelo Russell or Gabe Vincent the Nets have been open to welcoming uh Russell back to the Barkley Center since this past trade deadline and of course due to the fact that he’s in expiring contract it also helps uh his case there but I’ll tell you who did not want D’Angelo Russell and that was the Golden State Warriors because apparently they turned down a deal center around D’Angelo Russell that would have netted Klay Thompson a four-year deal $20 million per year uh for D’Angelo Russell’s uh uh expiring deal and guess what they did I almost passed out when I heard of this but the Warriors they declined that deal and they went out and they they got they traded away clay for two second round picks so there’s that b essentially for nothing and that is the Laker TCH striking once again now people try to tell me oh well hey Dan you know what happened was that uh you know the warriors were trying to you know uh not bring on no more salary for this this or that let’s be honest there is a Laker tax and it always strikes on the Lakers at the worst times and that’s okay we’re not going to sit here and cry and beg for handouts we’re gonna keep our our chin up and keep marching forward but uh it is discouraging to see that teams will easily operate and and and get low balled by other teams meanwhile we’re trying to pay a premium D’Angelo Russell they’re acting like he’s a chump he did average 18.7 points per game last season shooting 40% from Beyond The Arc so the fact that they turned him down just in in in order to not trade with the Lakers is baffling to me but not surprising not surprising at all Richard appreciate you man uh Dan I’m beyond uh frustrated why are all the other teams moving so fast and seems every year where the slowest Dan what’s taking them so long I have I you know what I wish I could answer that question but I’ll tell you this Rob if there’s any con conciliation Rob always operates in silence I’ve told you guys that I’ve been able to land the least amount of predictions I still land quite a couple when it comes to this roster change but I’ve been able to land the least amount of predictions since roal Linka took over because it’s really hard to read the te Le with this guy he’ll hit you with something out of left field that’s why I’m not necessarily super frustrated I am semi frustrated it’s disappointing that we keep whiffing on the big fish for sure but if the report holds true and we can get to Mara Rosen and then trade for other pieces like maybe potentially a Brook Lopez that would be nice outside of that Ro palenka is on a hot seat people already getting tired this dude um I’ve seen so many uh rapid fire ralena tweets um so there is that unfortunately uh but you know I’m the type of Laker fan that can be very patient I know that free agency just started and I’m here to you know navigate through it with you guys along with you guys so um there there is that right um if things go right Demar cam Johnson are Lakers yeah I’ve been hearing the rumors that wouldn’t be bad at all but we also have to worry about a big man all right I would be disappointed we go in here with no added bigman for sure um but cam Johnson’s a very solid Wing who’s been attached to the Lakers for for quite some time now the Lakers been registering their their interest in him for quite a while and then um Demar de rozan has always been a fan favorite for me personally you know again Compton 310 in the building that’ll be a dream come Tru he gets to play for the Lakers for me um but how much does he have left in the tank and how will he be incorporated because he’s definitely not a fit he’s not somebody who’s going to Naturally Fit in but if you have the the right coach can maybe get him to buy into a lesser rle and actually uh be efficient then anybody can fit at that point my guy die hard said I hope it’s not smoking mirrors and LeBron is really on a farewell tour and we’re selling Father and Son tickets with uh JJ ushering out LeBron James to start the rebuild he said the Rosen was my favorite Target I hope we get the rozen as well bro I a lot of L people don’t like the rozen and I’ll let you guys elaborate a little bit more on that but um he is a 20 point per game scorer uh even in a down year and with the Lakers at least if he gives us 18 efficient he’s a mid-range killer the footwork is nice transition he can be very effective he’s a big guard too he’s a big guard you can play the wing um I like him a lot I mean what what do you have to lose sell them to Magic yeah you know what um I wouldn’t mind if that really happened but I don’t think they’ll be selling anytime soon man it’s a family operated business so I think once Genie is done with that if she’s ever done with the team and their lifespan she might just pass pass it down to her younger brothers right Joey and Jesse bus maybe I don’t know uh Dan I don’t know how you stay optimistic because it’s early in free agency now if it was like July 5th or 6th and we still don’t hear nothing about the Lakers be very afraid now I’m really not only am I Optimist not only am I going to be pessimistic I’m gonna be furious yall GNA see Angry Dan for those of you new subscribers man I’m a die hard Lakers fan but at the same time I try to stay objective but I can lose my cool at times I’ve done it here on the live stream several times so um yeah uh I wouldn’t be shocked if it does happen we get to July 5th or 6th I’m losing my cool fam ain’t no way we should get that far and uh and we don’t have any moves something’s got to give somebody’s got to budge eventually a deal will be too good for somebody to pass up it’ll happen I think D’Angelo will be the first piece to go and then d r roen hopefully will be the next one why is nobody talking about Trey can’t we acquire him oh we most definitely can I’ve been talking about Trey for days I don’t know if you just subscribed recently but make sure you guys do subscribe and hit the post not Bell because I’ve been talking about Trey for days he would be a dream Target scenario for me I think with Chris Paul going to the uh San Antonio Spurs it kind of opens it up a little bit for us to try to inquire about him now Rumor Has It other teams have inquired about Trey young and dejonte when he was on the Hawks so why can’t we get involved hopefully hopefully we’ve had these conversations with them before and maybe again rink is working behind the scenes to get something done but these are some key names to keep an eye on still right it I know the market is drying up so many free agents we’re going to talk about some of the breaking news that already happened as far as free agents going but Demar D rozan for me uh is a top Target I think lari marinin and Walker Kesler is somebody two people to keep an eye on because again I I’m great at reading the te leaves and and they signed another big man on top of drafting KY filipowski I think one of the two is going to go for short especially if the jzs want to be in full rebuild mode you can’t go into the with four or five big man right can they so most likely they’re going to trade either Larry marinin or Walker Kessler or maybe even both but I think one at least uh cam Johnson again the Lakers have registered interest Dorian finny Smith is another uh two-way uh Power Forward who can help a team for sure but what is gonna be the asking price I know the Nets are trying to clean house a little bit so I expect cam Johnson dor or Dorian FY Smith to get traded if not both and then buddy heel buddy heel another name that’s been linked to the Lakers we didn’t get clay but buddy held can be a streaky shooter for the Lakers they can maybe bring him in Brandon Ingram is another point of Interest I do believe uh candy I do believe that they’re gonna eventually trade him but for what you know the asking price for us would be crazy mly mly is funny said Dan do you like my name I love it bro I love it you’re very passionate however let’s let’s take it down a notch again because we’re all going to seem really foolish we’re talking about fire Rob and he pulls off a mega trade or something so I I just want to sit back and wait I’ll be the patient one you know cooler heads Heads shall Prevail guys it it is deep into the day and trust me nobody loses more patience than me I’ve been sitting here waiting for news I went to the grocery Market came back waiting for the news I’m putting my gym to the side I’m putting my you know certain things I got to do throughout the day through the side I know you guys are doing the same I know your guys’ finger is tired from uh from swiping on the phone but let’s be patient it might all be worth it maybe it won’t and there and again we’re going to be really irate by the end of this whole situation but let’s Reserve judgement for now and take it one day at a time who knows maybe tomorrow morning we wake up maybe tonight later on tonight we get the breaking news um I’m I’m going head to the gym right after this so I’m gonna be unavailable for about two hours maybe it’ll break then by the time I get back I’ll have something cool to break down with you guys maybe we’ll see uh Shakir appreciate you bro thanks for Super Chat he said ralink AKA campfire always got a story it’s not looking good for him man he hasn’t been able to uh seal the deal right but uh I’ve seen him do it one time I’ve seen him put together a championship team back in 2019 2020 when he first got fully hired for the job you know after Magic Johnson quit um that that very next offseason he he did a tremendous job I thought last offseason he he did okay um he did pretty good actually but this year so far 0 for two the first two days well this day technically isn’t over yet but I’m just going to say 0 for two man I don’t want you guys to to stay up all night scrolling if we get the news again turn on post noty bail because Dan War Janowski will report it here first so stay tuned for that but we do have some other uh signings to break down so unfortunately the Clippers they had another good signing all right Chris Dunn has reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Clippers you hate to see it uh I was actually a fan of Chris Dunn it’s unfortunate he signed there um also uh Goa uh I’m not even gonna try to say his name the Orlando Magic Center is returning is uh returning to Orlando on a three-year 25 doll contract very affordable very affordable if the Lakers weren’t focused on other free agents that would have been a decent one to to bring here uh big man can Rim protect rebound do some of the dirty work he’s not bad at all so you know he re-ups with the magic and a lot of a lot of free agents are reupping with their own teams because of the new CBA there’s not a lot of other money to be had in other places which explains why D’Angelo Russell opted in now it all makes sense right everybody thought he was gonna opt out not D’Angelo Russell not that guy he definitely opted in to his contract now I do want to talk to you guys and I’m I’m G answer questions a little bit what do you guys feel about the Lakers offering Klay Thompson more money right a 20 Mill million four-year deal as reported uh so it would have been 80 million for four years um and I told you guys he’s worth about 20 to 25 still in his career so I was right there um but he turned that down for lesser money he took a threeyear $50 million deal of course they’re talking about the state taxes and all that but I still think he left some money maybe like what 15 to 16 million on the table uh even if he would have came over here after taxes so I don’t know don’t want to do the math on that don’t care but honestly um what do you guys think of that it’s for me it’s disheartening that our that our front office is is throwing out more money and still getting rejected like that really makes me feel bad uh my guy said I’m not blaming Rob for the Warriors getting two second round picks you’re right about that but I mean they did turn down the D’Angelo Russell deal and it sounds like uh Klay Thompson turned down the Lakers as well so uh let’s see here uh yeah yeah trolls trolls get dealt with over here yeah there you go uh Dan warriors did not want DLo I do I do think clay turned I don’t think Klay turned down it’s just the Warriors not wanting DLo but at the end of the day Klay could have really decided where he wanted to go man I do believe that so I I think ultimately he did chose the Mavericks because he was he was a free agent he could have just opted out and signed with somebody LeBron made space for him um you know one of them things man uh Dan The Warriors says here um bring back Jordan Hill oh my goodness my man turned back the clock he said Jordan Hill ridiculous bro Jordan Hill retired ages ago man but shout out to uh Jason black for reminding reminding us of the OG’s OG Lakers role players did he turn did he turn it down or did the Warriors turn down dowlo I think it was both I think the the Lakers were trying to probably negotiate something with the Warriors just in case Klay Thompson accepted and it was neither right so we weren’t gaining ground on anything which which makes sense because I do believe that Klay Thompson mued the the offer that the Lakers sent out for sure but uh he slept on it and he he woke up on the wrong side of the pillow because he chose the wrong team I’ll tell you that right now he ain’t winning the championship with the Mavs yeah C taxes have been horrible they got me man they got me too uh here but driving that’s what’s up sis glad you made it glad you made it for sure taking questions now though how you guys feeling who would you who who would you guys like and what do you think what do you guys think are the are the chances that the Lakers actually execute something here this offseason or do you guys think we’re going to whiff like those are all questions that we need answered right we need those questions answered my guy say [ __ ] clay get Demar he always wanted to be a Laker love I would love dear man again I would love dear people have been sleeping on theor I don’t know if you guys don’t have league pass but he’s one of the clutcher players in the league I know he’s out of position or whatever we got too many wings too many guards uh but you can never have too many veterans and this guy comes in here experienced next time we’re in the playoffs you know no D’Angelo Russell’s allowed we want Demar de rozan out here on this side we want people that that have been there done that and can actually perform in the playoffs uh let’s see no faith in Rob to be honest ah the honesty huh looks like we’re gonna whiff oh the negativity you gotta love it um it’s early y’all it’s not we’re not even fully done with day two of free agency again I’ve seen deals be struck in like day six or seven and again I I hope that doesn’t happen because it’s been torture we’ve been patiently waiting as a Laker fan base we went through a whole trade deadline with no moves because we were promised a good solid offseason and it has not delivered in the first day and a half so that is the honest to God truth however there’s still time and I’m holding on to that I’m holding on that and I hope that they can make something happen and and make us proud here but other than that man it it’s not looking good right now whatever we do we hear regardless appreciate you bro thanks for Super Chat thanks for the love brother that’s what’s up I love the positivity and I appreciate the love uh let’s see Placid uh that reminds me of a old movie called L Placid it was about alligators uh he said I’m telling you Dan clay has been horrible after the injury I’m not buying him only player I’m trading for Dan is is uh low it’s coming Dan Lakers trade for Lowry well you know what I would welcome that um because you know Markin in is a very solid power forward now he’s not the best defender of course he’s got a nice touch around the rim uh can space the floor would definitely fit in JJ reic system you open up the floor a little bit more for ad and LeBron you could maybe run that for sure with no excuses you can run that twin big man lineup I’d much rather have that than anything else but I’m still holding out hope for DeMar uh you guys know my number one option was always Trey young I don’t know if that even has a a snippet of a chance but I still think Trey young would be a game changer for us I know a lot of people don’t believe in him due to his lack of Defense but his his offense 25 and and seven to me is is way out weighs anything bad that he does defensively um but again Chris dun to the Clippers what else we have here uh let me see refreshing the timeline we also have uh free agent guard Gary Harris has agreed to a two-year 144 million contract to stay with the Orlando Magic that’s another piece I really liked at 70 million a year definitely a bargain uh good good reacquisition by Orlando and Orlando looks formidable they added kcp they reup a lot of their guys um so yeah another free agent that signed while I was off stream was uh Toronto Raptor uh guard Garrett Temple um so yeah Garrett Temple or forward or whatever he is he resigned on a one-year deal um so again nothing major has happened it’s all been minor stuff outside of the Klay Thompson and Paul George right but but then again if you look at uh where we’re at right now in free agency bigs have you know flown off the shelves uh there’s still a couple there’s still Mo Bamba’s still out there somewhere I believe he’s still an unrestricted free agent um who else is still out there man still a couple free agents out there to be had but I think the Lakers are going more of the trade route outside of uh maybe Demar my biggest concern is if the Lakers take too long LeBron gets impatient and says just give me the max contract you guys Fe figure it out and he goes over there to uh you know overseas to go train with Team USA or whatever that’s my biggest concern That Could Happen by the way uh Sharma he said anyone hating on thear just know you’re hating on Kobe Protege a guy who played the most minutes and it’s a dog in practice he’s not taking games off that’s absolutely true man thank you so much for Super Chat bro shout out to you and what looks like your daughter right there on the picture awesome uh much love to you guys uh listen you’re absolutely right Demar de rozan is a bucket he’s a walking talking bucket we know that for for a fact plus he’s not far removed from winning clutch Player of the Year award which is a brand new NBA award for those those of us old heads that don’t understand basically he hit the most clutch shots during the course of I think it was last season and welld deserved too I think he had like four buzzer beaters that year um he’s a capable down the stretch guy too that you know you can count on and he’s not bad defensively so bring him man bring him over here seriously why not and um it’s not like we have many other options anyways my guy said B bomba sucks I rather have Mo Vagner negative mo mo Vagner has a nice little engine and he plays really hard which we appreciate but he’s undersized how many more undersized bigs do we need we got Christian Wood and Jackson Hayes even though he makes up with it uh with his athleticism I much rather have uh you know a seven foot 10 wingspan in MO Boma even if he’s uncoordinated and he’s not the most consistent key is we we had him but we really never had him because he was never healthy with us soon as we got him I think it was like the second game he gets hurt and then he never really returned to play many minutes so that’s unfortunate uh but yeah we do need a center and that’s where we should look let’s see here more questions will rob palinka make any moves for the Lakers I believe so I believe he will uh remember they talked about this they ran out of excuses let’s keep it a buck 50 Ro palinka has no excuses he needs to perform now or his job will be in Jeopardy by Next by the end of this season okay or maybe even halfway through who knows I doubt it they never do any firings halfway through but Rob palena really has to turn this roster around he’s got the pieces D’Angelo even opted in so you should be able to trade him he’s an expiring contract 18 points per game when was the last time an expiring contract that brings you 18 points per game has no value from what I’m hearing Brooklyn wants to get involved okay so there’s one team we’re hearing about figure it out man you can get you can bring back cam Johnson a three and D Wing young player with a lot of upside you can uh you know who who knows what else you can go and get for d’angel Russell but I do not want d’angel Russell my starting point guard next year here for the Lakers he already proved that he was not going to uh be able to produce in the Posies right and it’s no hate man see young people they sometimes confuse you know being realistic and keeping it a buck 50 with hate it’s not I love DLo hey we drafted him he’s always gonna be one of ours but are we making the playoffs with the current roster you know what um there’s a lot of VAR variables that will factor into that first of all how quickly will they adapt and adjust to their new head coach and the schemes he’s running that’s going to really factor into that and on top of that if this is the roster will everybody be healthy if everybody’s healthy I do believe we still have what it takes I mean last year even injured we got into the seven seed this year if we could stay healthy and if they adapt quickly to what coach JJ reck is is is gonna uh put out there for them they buy in then I think we have a good chance even with this team but the Lakers goal should never be to make the playoffs right it needs to be to get to the finals at the very least and to win a championship at the very most that’s the golden standard no matter what even if you got a rookie coach he understands he said it in his press conference he understands the expectations our Championship or bust um all right let’s see here my guy uh Eddie my brother how you doing man hey shout out to poon man he was mighty impressive bro big fan of this brother right here man UFC uh 303 was really impressive brother so me and my family really enjoyed it matter of fact today we were watching a clip on him and and just how awesome he is so shout out to poan uh he said Hayes jayen Hino DLo ruy and two first round picks remove the 2029 protection for marinan and seon right let’s break it down so Jackson Hayes jayen Hino DLo ruy two first round picks and remove 2029 protection for marinin and sexon and then he said the roen with the mle and call it a day brother why aren’t you in the front office right now brother you have the winning trade right there that is the one that is the one shout out to my guy Eddie man man I know you’re busy I gotta get you back on around the league sometime uh this guy is a genius that’s you know what I was thinking of something along the lines but I think if if it works number-wise what do you guys think of that his trade chat I think he’s on to something there I definitely do I defin I like it uh I love that see people like it too people like it too Eddie so you on to something my brother you’re definitely on to something there that’s what’s up great mind stin alike my guy Jazz will never do that why not they’re in a rebuilding phase why would the Jazz not do it they don’t need either of the two players that we being honest they just drafted a big man and they signed another big man right they loving your trade brother say send that to Rob think more realistic is Kesler than sexin well then if it’s Kesler we removing one of the pcks right we can remove the protection but we keeping one of our pcks if it’s kler because it’s you’re you’re definitely taking a step down even though he probably fits better with our team but yeah send that to Rob man my guy Eddie thanks so much for the Super Chat brother you you’re the goat um Celtics owner selling the team I heard yeah you could really tell that uh Mr Green was all in in it for the green right and I don’t blame him if I was the owner of the Celtics I’d sell them too [ __ ] the Celtics man sell them get your paper while it’s good man get out of there get get your Potter gold you God dang leprechauns uh you can do it I will I will I will send it to robal Linka Robbie P not that he’ll read it anyways he doesn’t have social media uh I think uh connect will have a better season than clay I I really hope so man but I don’t think it’s fair for us as Lakers fans to put that much pressure on a rookie even though he is a you know a 23 year old rookie which more more than more times than not um they come ready just like I told you guys about my guy um uh what’s his name the one from the Miami heat the rookie out of UCLA I told you guys he was going to be NBA ready and the Lakers should have drafted him well this year looks like they finally learned from last year’s mistake and they have made uh you know good with their mistakes so even though I still think jayen Hino has some potential contrary to what the trolls on the internet say because we don’t know there’s late bloomers he is he is coming off of an injury but he had a very good season for Indiana and he actually had a decent summer league for those of us that paid attention so hopefully he can bounce back but yeah um I I hope that Dalton connect aka Mr Connect 4 can uh surprise us this season and maybe earn some valuable minutes in the rotation sure absolutely yeah man this dude Chama amazing bro amazing shout out to him man who who here saw UFC 303 that was spectacular that oh my God I don’t want to spoil it if you guys didn’t see it but that was uh let’s see here uh Dan you on Spotify I like your song 24K it’s a cler bro yes I’m on Spotify I’m on iTunes I’m on YouTube Every streaming platform people don’t know this but I’m I’m literally an artist y’ I used to perform when I was younger in high school and everything your Boy Records music I’m a I’m a vocal engineer you know I went to uh College I took prot’s mid I learned how to do everything myself but I really learned more from my friends who uh taught me how to record uh here from the from home so shout out to my boy Seth you know to everybody who taught me so that was pretty cool you learn more from the street sometimes even though I did go to college for it hey what you doing for the channel at 25k I’mma give I’mma grind even harder fam even harder we dropped the song at 24K so I don’t want to be dropping something every 1K we go up but um um maybe at 30k we do something special like a giveaway or something you know maybe a court Kings giveaway get the guys involved or something but uh yeah we we’ll do something at 30k 30 you know what we might get there by the end of the summer we’re grinding heavy we are grinding heavy uh yes sir ski yes sir ski Hey listen the peak of this channel I think was 3K and that was when we won the championship back in 2020 that’s the most viewers we ever had here during a live and and I think the the video that did the best for me was a draft video I had dropped a while back it did like 100k so that’s again we We’ve ran the numbers before man uh but hey I always appreciate the support uh Die Hard said our starter defense is gonna be sus minus ad you know what man um this is why we have to address some things still via trade and why none of the Laker fans are happy with uh you know Rob doing nothing because there are some gaping holes to address right now it sounds like the Lakers have pivoted to Demar de Rosen and uh we do have to talk about how he would fit because if if you think about if we do acquire him if we’re lucky enough blessed enough to get him who goes to the bench right because I don’t think you can start Reeves D rozan and LeBron with ad and another big man right so who’s gonna go to the bench and also who are you going to lose in the process because remember we have 15 roster slots most likely it’ll be dowlo and a filler but you know we have to figure all that out I really can’t dissect this roster until until we um you know until we have a full team and we know exactly what we’re going into training camp with they want to see Angry Dan nah bro listen man that that has to come out organically when I get upset I get upset for real but uh right now is not the time we’re barely day one and a half of free agency we got plenty of time trust trust in your boy we got plenty of time and hopefully Rob can make it count right because uh everybody right now is is is you know they got the pitchforks out they they sharpening up the knives and they got the pitchforks and they’re getting ready to take it to his doorstep so I I’m going to pray for them man I hope he gets it right because he’s not gonna want the pressure that’s coming if he goes in with the same the same exact roster remember just a friendly reminder okay he said that this offseason was going to be key and major and they were you know hoarding picks basically that’s why they didn’t make a trade during the trade deadline so it’s not acceptable if you go into next season with the exact same roster you can’t lie to the good people he’s been making promises that he hasn’t been able to keep like when he said 2020 wasn’t gonna be our only Championship well up until now you know Four Seasons later it has been so you have to be intelligent rob you can’t make make empty promises in La we don’t forget we’re jarheads about the whole situation we’re not going to forget Laker fans are truly die hards man that’s why I got number love and respect for you guys as you guys match my level of intensity uh as far as uh you know being the best fans on the planet we are he said hello bro palena get the mar we we want that to happen for sure Dan do you make your own beats too I don’t have the time as you can see I work OT man I i’ be on here overtime so um you know I I do have a a a beat uh a midi keyboard so I I have made my own beats right I have work with uh you know in the studio but i’ rather either purchase him or people send me beats all the time uh me and diar will probably uh be collaborating in the near future uh making a track he’s got some banger beats for sure so we’ll see appreciate that man welcome to the family brother this is the number one uh Laker channel for uh Laker fans and in the community and make sure you guys tune back in if this is your first time here we have phone call Fridays we have around the league uh we have good take bad take over on playback and just so much content so again this is the number one place to be if you’re a diard Lakers fan or or just basketball fan in general just a really cool person that wants to kick back uh Daniel appreciate Super Chat brother he said how you feel about trading DLo Vando jayen Hino one first round pick and two second round picks for Jared Allen and George Nang you know what everything you just mentioned out of everything the only piece that hurts me is V but I do it because you get Jared Allen with Anthony Davis and you’re gonna be wreaking havoc in the Western Conference not only in the Western Conference but in the NBA so yeah if you can have Jared Allen I do that if if the numbers work why not um again the the biggest piece you’re losing there is Jared Vanderbilt which really would hurt but we’re addressing uh you know opposition position of need and you’re strength in it not not only are you addressing it but now it becomes a a position of strength so you go from one extreme to the other now the question will be if Vandal gets traded can ruy hachimura work on his defense especially his his on ball defense that’s where he really has to work because he’s been getting blown by a lot he has to work on on his lateral quickness sliding his feet his upper body strength is already there so on ball you know as a positional Defender when he’s in place he’s good right we even seen him contest really well against jic uh not last year but the year before that uh in the in the Western Conference finals and uh we actually at one point we wanted him to start which daram made no such adjustments but uh you know um that’s my only concern we lose Vandal we lose one of the best young lockdown Defenders which would really hurt me to the court but then you’re getting one of the best young paint protectors to go alongside Anthony Davis and it’s a risk I’d be willing to take you have to sometimes give something to get something right we we we are Laker fans they call us delusional but actually realistic we don’t you know say we don’t propose trades that uh we don’t think can happen and I think that is realistic but and and why you might ask why would Cleveland do it well because I feel like Evan Mobley and uh and and this guy Jared Allen cannot coexist if anything I would move uh Moy up to the five and and and and run a lot of offense through him uh as well as obviously Donovan Mitchell assuming they keep them so um just just a lot to break down there but yeah Jared Allen would be an upgrade big time Big prop to you dtlf new to your channel I like your content bro keep it up Fam thank you man we’ve been doing this for over six years man um and as of three years ago I was able to quit my job and do it full-time shout out to the sponsorships that I have the multiple sponsorships they’ve really helped and of course your guys’ generous contributions your likes your your subscriptions and your guys’s uh monetary compensation so I appreciate you man for uh joining the family we we going to the rocket well I’m sorry we’re going to the moon on a rocket man so we taking this Channel all the way up baby uh yeah we gotta okay that’s really weird bro yeah we’re not listening to uh to the spams up in here uh confirmed Mo bomba is gone let me look at my phone to make sure we conf we confirming on that I do have a mod but she might be busy right now yep oh my goodness in worst case scenario guys not only is Moab McAn but he goes to the Clippers as well what is going on with everybody going there as everybody’s taking up uh PG’s money so that makes me sick yo uh that’s a really good pickup for them by the way yeah that’s a really good pickup for them that sucks man oh it always happens man haters gonna hate you block that dude all the time yeah people yeah people have multiple accounts and they’re mad because their YouTube channel is not doing so nicely that’s usually how it goes um it says dan I’m so frustrated everybody at work is saying that the Lakers are doing like what are the Lakers doing and is just like I don’t know what the Lakers are doing right now none of us know but we have faith in the fact that there is um plenty of time here to go especially if you’re mainly uh G to strike through trades uh primarily as you can see free agent Market is is dying I mention the name and it goes just like that I just mentioned Mo Bamba on this stream and there it goes right hey D stradamus would you be willing to challenge skip into a Lakers debate if it’s possible and if yes I’ll put a bundle on you my guy oh absolutely I’ll challenge anybody to any debate long as it’s respectful I’m not going to go in there and call the guy an old man and this and that unless he gets his respectful first then we get real streets on him but uh you know uh yeah I I’d always be down for friendly uh debate matter of fact if they were intelligent they would open up the uh you know their platform to bringing in at least one fan a week like they could steal my idea if they want and and you know it’s something I like to do I like to open up my platform every Friday and bring on different fans to give their opinions and their take they can challenge my take as well we’ve gone back and forth and and all that good stuff so make sure if you guys are new to the channel hit that post noty Bell man phone call Fridays are popping because like I said uh NBA fans are really intelligent but Lakers fans are just Next Level intelligent man I love y’all for Real uh yo Dan what’s good keep up the good work bro I see you thank you brother hey man Telly all my day ones appreciate you man um listen this is what we do every summer man it’s Grind Time baby it’s Grind Time this is when uh you know pressure makes Diamond so that’s what we trying to do out here we’re trying to sh shine bright like a diamond and the words of Rihanna hey Rico you already know I’m the king of puns man they don’t call me Big Pun for no reason bro uh so you know we’re talking about stand-up comedy oh it would be a rose session if he ever Tred to disrespect me the way he disrespected Shannon sharp or anybody else like that I’m not gonna say bye uh you know and just take that so um you know I would love it if that opportunity ever arises but you know what um I do have a show called good take bad take and it is on playback TV and and uh you guys can make sure to follow me over there on playback TV just all you got to do is download the app and follow dtlf all right that’s four letters dtlf which stands for Dana Lakers fan and uh I I basically I challenge all their takes on that show right and sometimes I even bring on guests so uh definitely go check out good take bad take over there on playback exclusively I sometimes multicast it this channel but here for some reason YouTube has these these weird copyright rules where you cannot uh you know they take down your channel if you’re multi casting ESPN and other people’s takes so um Dan the new Clippers logo is so ugly ah bro tell me about it have you guys seen that if you look at all the logos and then you look at the Clippers logo it doesn’t look like an NBA logo and it makes sense too because they don’t act like an NBA team they they actually operate like a NBA g-league Squad with a lot of money and uh they just it’s always a joke of a friend you saw what happened what they traded for Paul George only to let him walk um so man uh Dan why not fire Rob and hire Bob Myers that might be next in line if Rob pinka keeps dropping the ball like this that might be exactly what happens next um again free agents are flying off the racks the Clippers are apparently uh scooping up all of them right now moama just went to the Clippers after melting and so now the Lakers have their back to the wall they have to make something happen the fans again they’re shopping up this the tool [ __ ] right now ler fans not happy at all and rightfully so you shouldn’t be happy we’ve been promised a lot of things and so far it’s been wolf tickets so far outside of the 2020 Championship but it hasn’t been a smooth ride fam it hasn’t and every time it looks like it we’re about to start trending upwards just like the season before this last season when we made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals we take another step backwards and we get eliminated in the first round so the pressure is on for Los Angeles and I mean the real Los Angeles the Lakers um and they got to make the Right Moves now uh see people already out on Rob and I can’t even defend ralink right now till he makes moves right once he makes moves I’ll say aha this is why I told you guys to stay patient Well for now look I’m G stay humble keep my mouth shut see what Rob’s got cooking up uh but right now I can’t even argue this man NBA smack talk you are as of right now you’re you’re correct yes if if the if the offseason ended today and this was the training camp RS that we going with I agree with you how ever there’s still plenty of time right Money Ball you know what’s up bro I stay patient man I stay patient I don’t say receipts or nothing but I will tell you guys I am the type to say I told you so because you know I I be you know covering the Lakers for for so long man you get a lot of people that you know will tell you that they know what’s what’s going on and what’s going down and most of the time it doesn’t really happen like that and when it does props to you guys but hopefully it doesn’t happen like that because that would be devastating we have this type of offseason then it almost feels like we’re just setting up LeBron for a farewell tour and I don’t think anybody wants to sign up for one of those am I right or is there any fans in here that are will be cool just to see LeBron and his son you know dribble the heck out of the basketball and then right off into the sunset after like a year or two um me personally I want to compete for titles lifelong Laker fan 28 years plus again my whole F my family indoctrinated me into the Lakers I didn’t have a choice and thank God I didn’t because they they brought me into the best franchise in the in the world but I have seen a change I have seen a change since the late great Dr Jerry bus passed and uh you know Lakers are are reeling trying to grip for an identity right now and uh that you know Jeanie’s doing her best to try to uh make her pops proud but she got to be a little more Cutthroat because I think Rob palena should not be able to survive another off season if this is the team we go into uh next season with right we can’t we can’t do it it’s just when you’re not improving much while the West continues to improve right the West will continue to improve and so yeah we got to be smart here and just make the Right Moves and the right deals for everybody involved um and maybe that’s why Rob is taking a sweet time he doesn’t want to make a misstep just like he did with the Russell Westbrook deal because that was a huge misstep matter of fact you can argue that the Russell Westbrook trade set us back two years right we were on the right trajectory after winning in 2020 then they failed to resign all those key pieces right they failed to bring back certain players like Alex Caruso and then they go and they make a catastrophic trade for Russell Westbrook and the rest has been history we’ve been reeling and recovering ever since then and this is supposed to be the the season that okay so the year we made it to the Western Conference Finals we we had recovered and we were supposed to start even last year injury strike and bad coaching and now we got a new coach so again we’re hitting the reset button starting fresh trying to uh you know try to set a a path towards up upwards right we’re trying to Trend up again and uh if if if they don’t make a splash guys I hate to repeat myself here but if they make a splash it’s impossible to to to Trend up especially when you’re in in a tough western conference right everybody’s getting better the mths got a little bit better I’m not gonna lie especially offensively defensively questionable right because Derrik Jones Jr very solid Defender I think he was a big piece of that but they might be able to acquire something by the trade deadline to address any sort of flaws that team has however offensively Luca Kyrie and and Clay is going to be a problem um especially if they start jelling it might take a little bit of time uh but for us man man you know we got a long ways to go for sure Dan the man bring back Trevor uh you know what um I have access to asking him at any time however I tend to be uh very considerate I know he’s got a lot of work to do around this time you see what I’m doing and I got 20 24K subs and Counting imagine what he’s doing at at 500k so he’s got you know probably triple the amount of work that I have to do so I I I you know I I brought him here the for the first time two years ago and then I brought him back finally this summer right before free agency because I knew he he’d be available right he’d have a an open time slot but right now bro is just busy man I don’t even dare ask him right now uh just because you know I want to be considerate shout out to treor Lane and Laker Nation Podcast man they do a tremendous job uh Anthony McDonald enjoy the show do you have an email address to get your shipping info or PO Box where we can mail you something uh Anthony I will open up a PO Box real soon because a lot of people have been asking me about this bro and uh you know just my shipping area is not a safe place to ship stuff anyways stuff gets stolen all the time so uh I will open up a PO Box how about that right and when I do I will announce it it’ll probably be down below on the ticker but I appreciate it man it’s the thought that counts and the Super Chat as well man much love to you guys uh look what Trey young tweeted you guys got to enlighten me man because y’all gonna make me have to go to Twitter and look it up uh but what did he TW tweet because I would love to have him you guys know that’s been my guy day one man since Oklahoma what did Trey young just tweet that’s got you talking like this my friend and hopefully you’re not trolling me man hopefully you’re not trolling me but one thing I will say is that the Lakers and Rob Pinker are extremely quiet could they be working on something that we would really be happy about right could they I think they could I think there’s a chance of that but again I don’t want to get your guys hopes up too soon because you know I don’t want when you get people’s hopes up uh you set them up for disappointment and I don’t want that for you guys I know myself how that feels oh he just traded the he he uh tweeted out the prayer emojis well hopefully he’s praying to get the heck out of Dodge because uh Atlanta is is going down real quick man Atlanta is is a rebuilding team that’s what they are and Trey young doesn’t deserve to stay there and syn with the ship uh you know so we’ll say Trey is done with Atlanta he he should be one thing I I mentioned a couple of nights ago is that on Instagram he removed all of his Atlanta Hawk stuff and there’s been video clips of him on the phone with his agent and stuff or or what’s presumed to be his agent so maybe they are working to get him again it would make a lot of sense for the Lakers to trade for Trey young now because I think his trade value is at an all-time low like you could probably get him for two first round picks where before it would require the three first round picks just like Donovan Mitchell he’s still a 25 Point per game score and those guys do not grow on trees I want people to know that right I want people to know that it’s interpreted as please or thank God for me when I see the prayer emoji and I use this prayer Emoji a lot I interpret it as uh you know grateful so maybe he’s grateful for something maybe he’s grateful for life it could be a simple thing a lot I’ll say this a lot of free agents do like to troll and get reactions out of fans I think they have a good time with it they’re probably hanging out with their friends and family and just be like watch this and then they they tweet something out then they show it to all their family and they look at all the replies together and laugh about it that could be the case just saying you don’t want to read too much into it but I would love to have Trey young and that would just be the starting point if you go out and you get Trey young then you got to go out and grab a big man for real and hopefully also you can uh you know hold on to V because I think if you’re getting a non-defensive player like a Trey young Vanderbilt would be crucial crucial uh Dan der rozen for the mle for TR or or trade for Trey you know you know I’m going Trey all day but I’m biased I like Trey man I think he he’s got a lot of heart he plays with a lot of passion you know I think he’s somebody who uh you know I think he’s somebody who can be intriguing for the Lakers and I think he’s made for the Limelight again anybody who can go into the garden and hit a dagger three-point shot to force a game seven on a non-content Atlanta Hawks team this right after they traded John Collins is is Laker material for me right it’s Laker material for me I’ve been preaching this all summer man people been uh making fun of me for saying oh he doesn’t play defense remember this you can always mask a poor Defender but you can’t mask a poor offensive player not in today’s modern NBA was that a dtlf quote right there I should coin that hold up he said right I feel Trey young would be a perfect match for us he’s made for the Limelight bro I was blessed enough to go watch him play live when he came to to staple center to play my Lakers and I was thoroughly impressed with with just the way he approaches the game I look at the way you know his pregame rituals and everything he’s made for the limelights I’ll tell you that right now um let’s see well by all means DLo is gone that’s the good news because I think we saw what D was made of and we we saw what what he brings to the table especially in the postseason and it’s just not sustainable unfortunately I like what he did in the regular season it just wasn’t enough for me to say okay let’s hold on to him let’s make him a long-term uh piece here with the Lakers I did it was fun to watch the back court of Austin Reeds and D offensively but it definitely wasn’t fun defensively and like I said you could have one poor Defender but you can’t have two out there in the perimeter especially in the Western Conference getting cooked by these Western Conference guards it is just a nightmare right yeah Trey young would be a major when you already know re you already know how I feel about Trey let’s see T Dan Trey is my favorite player and I’ve been wanting us to get him him and AD fit perfectly yeah you know what you’re absolutely right and that’s moving forward too into the future right into the future so you’re right that that is a win for the now and for the Post LeBron era you would have a piece there to build around honestly I think he gets underutilized I think you know um Atlanta just has Trey out there selling tickets because they know he’s he’s definitely a draw um but when when you come to La just very much so like pal gasone of course they’re different players different positions different times uh but you elevate your game if you’re a great one pal gaso went from Fringe Allstar to borderline super now he wasn’t a superstar but Kobe also helped him Elevate his game to the next level and he was a borderline uh you know uh but he was for sure guaranteed Allstar and that’s what I think Trey young would do man I really think he comes here the the fan base will Embrace him I already got my Atlanta Hawks Trey young uh City Edition Jersey um my girl bought it for me on my birthday because you know I was a big Trey young fan and uh you know uh I can’t wait to get my Laker Trey Young jersey if that does happen uh but again don’t want to get you guys too hyped until something officially happens we’re going to try to uh keep it neutral right not never too high never too low uh let’s see here my guy Chino 305 appreciate you man Dan I’m a huge fan of yours you always keep it real appreciate that brother uh quick question do you think dear is going to end up a Laker H I would say remember what I told you guys I said I feel like clay will but the only threat I think is Dallas I was right about that part he ended up in Dallas but Demar de rozan will be a Laker all right I I I did mention that the Lakers should pivot and get Demar it feels like it just feels like it’s been in the for a long time right Demar to La um you know I think he went on a podcast once uh and uh you know that was interesting so um I think he said that he would have loved to be a Laker but the opportunity never came or something like that I don’t want to I don’t want to misquote him but Demar would like to be a Laker question is is the money Gonna Be Right is LeBron still taking a pay cut and what what are the Lakers doing subsequently after DE after after Demar de R rozan because let’s be honest demard de R rozan is a help he’s an offensive weapon definitely helps when LeBron goes to the bench or Miss misses games especially but he’s not something we necessarily need right so that’s what intrigues me about thear how would coach use them I think I saw a podcast where JJ was really praising thear as well all right so I’m curious how he would utilize him because he’s a really good player he is but he he needs to be used correctly you can’t just put him in the corner and expect him to be effective right you’re going to have to put him around the mid High post and let him operate from there I mean his footwork is awesome man you isolate Demar de ro he might hit you with a ja fake drop step turnaround jump shot uh you know in in the mold of my goat Kobe Bryant because he’s cut from a similar kof you know he he studied him his whole career uh so they got that mid-range um let’s see here Demar on the podcast said he would take the minimum to be a Laker because he would um he would love to be back home yeah okay so yeah I don’t want to I don’t want to make quote him that’s what I thought I heard but it was a while back um you know Demar de R rozan again I’m from Compton myself guys I grew up in uh in Park Village I’m a Park Village kid man West West kid door street right by Wilmington and Avalon and uh you know I’ve always been a fan from from all of our NBA players that come from from from my hometown so this would for me personally is just it means a lot to see one one of one of our own representing the Lakers of all teams not just the NBA it makes me proud of already what he’s done in Toronto what he did for the Spurs what he did for the Bulls but just him coming home here it would be special because he’s not going to have the the Russell Westbrook syndrome where he’s too selfish and he just wants to Pat his stats now this dude I think would be really you know a great winner for us thear and AD operate in the same space well that’s where coach has to figure out how to stagger some minutes there man and get really creative a good coach will make it work brother I promise you that you could have too much of one good thing you can but of course you do have to address the other thing so I understand your point but uh we’ll see uh Trey comeing via signning trade and Demar for mle uh that would be a dream but it still doesn’t address the center position right so I that’s the one that’s the one thing right there it it would be a dream come true to get both of those players two of my favorites but it doesn’t address the center position what do we do then we we give up all these assets for those two players and we make up all the space and then what is the center that’s the real question who are pursuing uh Mo Bamba just left to the Clippers and ruined his career you know uh I won’t say that I won’t be that uh dramatic but I’ll say yeah not a good move for anybody that goes there as Paul George ask Baron Davis Etc right uh let’s see here uh yes you’re a real fan I love to see the show this guy has the best Laker YouTube show appreciate you bro hey man it means a lot coming from the people man if the people speak it it must have some truth to it so uh I appreciate that bro you bestowed a great honor upon me and and all my family out here that always shown love appreciate you guys for Real uh Dan do a live stream on playback where we can come on stage a live stream you mean uh actually you know what um it’s hard to bring everybody up on stage because the app starts glitching on playback your best chance to get on will be when I have phone call Friday but even then when I put out the link man it usually a bunch of callers uh flood the stage and it hits a limit of 20 at a time so you kind of have to you know click the link at the right time and and uh have a chance to come up on stage but every Friday is your chance to shine my brother and if you’re good enough then I will call upon your number to come up to the bigger show to the Big Show to the big leagues on around the league where you will have a full hour to conversate with me and another special guest uh in Breakdown basketball which is Barber Shop talk essentially it’s a lot of fun if you guys haven’t been a part of it definitely check it out man it we I used to do it every Tuesdays now I’m doing it Thursdays sometimes Tuesdays right so that you got to tap in with that young Hawk Center what what center from the Hawks um Clint capella is not young if that’s who you’re talking about um I like Clint I don’t like his contract I like Clint capella he would be very serviceable I do not like his contract man uh what would you constitute Rob being fired uh him striking out this offseason and not putting a formidable Championship contending team that definitely constitutes him being fired absolutely Andrew um and you know I’m not an excuse maker I’m a realist but I’m also a very patient fan I’ve been a Lakers fan for 28 years in counting it’s about to be 29 this October y’all so uh yeah big things for your boy but um I I’ll say this uh Rob pinka had one good year so far with the Lakers and that was the year that he pivoted away from the kawhai Leonard situation and he built that championship roster within a couple of uh what was it a couple of minutes you know we heard oh breaking news Lakers have signed this player Lakers have signed that player they put together Danny Green Rondo Dwight all these keyo pieces that really helped us to win a championship in just within a couple of minutes that was his best year I think that was Prime R palenka I pray to God we get another version of that especially here in this off season because that could set us up for the future and for the now right now believe it or not people think we’re in a dire situation we’re really not at the end of the day we still have Anthony Davis Hall of Famer we still have LeBron James one of the all-time greats uh we we just got a brand new coach TBD on him I don’t want to pass judgment yet let’s give him some time uh but it is an upside because anything should be an upgrade to darham okay uh and then and then let’s see what else we get and we can work with we did get a nice young draft pick in Dalton right connect so everybody’s excited about him I’ve personally never seen him play I will Reserve judgment until I see him at least in the summer league and then we can go from there um and and now again free agency we brought back max Christie which is always good that kid has a lot of potential he might crack the rotation this season and I would not be surprised if at one point he starts at the two guard that’s how much potential he has to be three and D so there’s a lot of things that are going to factor into whether we keep Ro paleno moving forward or we fire him at the end of the day though I I’m going to keep an open mind and I’m gonna be patient he has this offseason to make things work doesn’t make things work here then what are you doing bro because basically we had LeBron James recruiting we had LeBron James giving up uh part of his paycheck in order to get people here and we still couldn’t so that to me is a huge problem that’s a that’s that’s no bueno right so we got to be smart about how we operate I you know what I wouldn’t be surprised if I go to the gym right now as soon as I’m done with this video at the top of the hour and I come back and there’s some breaking news pertaining to the Lakers so if for whatever reason I lag a little bit I’m at the gym guys I’ve been here all day at home waiting for news to break nothing so I’m gonna take a risk and I’m gonna leave my crib and what usually happens when I leave my crib something breaks all right so let’s see if I can bring home uh the good luck uh from the gym and and we’ll have something to talk about later on tonight anyways that is going to wrap it up for me thank you guys again for being here with your boy man always a pleasure uh I will be breaking it down all summer you guys know I’m here 365 days a year whenever this Laker news or
