With a starved 0-4 record, the Lakers are already among the worst teams in the league. The choices of the front office this summer are singled out, while some do not hesitate to make fun of the Californian franchise. This is the case, for example, of Paul Pierce on his Twitter account. Unleashed, the former Celtic prefers to have fun with the situation in Los Angeles… by mentioning Victor Wembanyama.
Never has a team been crowned champion after starting with 0 wins for 4 losses. This is the depressing statistic of the day for Lakers fans, very disappointed with the start of the season in Los Angeles. Russell Westbrook is struggling, the shooting solutions are sorely lacking, to the point that some are calling for the dismissal of Rob Pelinka. It’s clear that GM has done a poor job this summer.
Paul Pierce mocks Lakers situation
How to fix all this? Hoping for a revival for Westbrook, or for the return of Dennis Schroder to be miraculous. Suffice to say that it is not won. It is also possible to recruit a player via trade or on the market, especially that a veteran has already been cited to come to Los Angeles. But for Paul Pierce, taking out the tank is perhaps the best solution…
Lakers think they slic. They wanna pair Bron up with Wembanyama next year ????????♂️

Lakers want to pair LeBron with Wembanyama next year ????????♂️
Tanker to recover Victor? Given the start of the season, some actually think it’s a very good idea. However, it is simply impossible. What Pierce did not know at the time of dropping this message is that the Lakers do not have their pick in 2023. They will therefore not have the possibility of choosing Wemby, the fault of the Pelicans.
Indeed, the first round of 2023 was traded to New Orleans to recover Anthony Davis. The Pels have the right to exchange their pick with that of the Lakers, simply according to its place in the lottery. Realizing his stupidity, Pierce still added a layer:
Damn they don’t get that pick ????????♂️oh well

Without their pick in 2023, the Lakers will never be able to recover Victor Wembanyama, or even a very well placed pick. The Pelicans have that luxury, and obviously hope that the Angelinos’ bad period will last as long as possible. A cruel scenario for the Pourpre et Or…
