Snoop Dogg has a simple solution for the Lakers’ problems

Snoop Dogg consulted Jeannie Buss on a podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. The hip-hop star acknowledged the Lakers’ need to make trades. However, he believes youth should be the primary focus when looking to re-tool.

“Jeanie this going to hurt me more than it hurts you. We’re going to have to move some furniture…Some big pieces of furniture, if you know what I mean,” Snoop Dogg said via the All the Smoke podcast.

“We need to move some furniture around and put some dogs on the court because anytime a young team comes to town, we freeze up.”

Snoop Dogg’s comments suggest the veteran core of Los Angeles has lost a step. If the team acquires youth, then perhaps it can keep up with other energetic squads in the league. The hip-hop stars’ suggestions make sense, given the Lakers are led by a 39-year-old, but this 39-year-old is extraordinary.

In his 21st season, LeBron James is LA’s second-leading scorer at 24.8 points per game. James may be older, but he is getting help from players like Anthony Davis, D’Angelo Russell, and Austin Reaves.

Furthermore, Los Angeles is a step ahead of Snoop Dogg’s advice, as the team has reportedly prioritized speed and athleticism ahead of the trade deadline.
