It's no secret that the Lakers' fans are among the most demanding in the NBA. The latter has also clearly grown tired of a member of the workforce, judging by recent comments on social networks.
After twenty matches, the Lakers are still in the Top 6 of the Western Conference. No small feat given the very high level competition within it, with JJ Redick's men ranking sixth with 12 wins and eight defeats. However, this does not mean that everything is right in the City of Angels.
Average in attack (14th offensive rating in the league) and in the bottom third of the league in defensive rating (22nd), the Purples and Golds still have a lot of room to progress. And for them, that usually means setting up a trade to seek out big players. It is moreover a former champion who could tempt them into the market in the coming weeks, in order to support LeBron and Anthony Davis.
Angelinos fans upset by Gabe Vincent
That being said, who says transfer also means parting with players, especially since these are the only assets that Los Angeles has. It remains to be determined who to get rid of… in fact, fans of the franchise seem to have already made their choice on this subject, the X account NBA Memes had launched a gratuitous attack on Gabe Vincent.

Started last night against Jazz in the absence of Austin Reaves, the former Heat has indeed caused a new uproar on the web.
Signed a little over a year ago for $33 million over three years, Vincent has never justified the investment since since he only played 11 small games last season. And if he is already at 20 this year, his production is starving with only 3.2 points on average at 34.7% shooting success. Suffice to say that the Angelinos supporters can't stand him anymore and are letting it be known.

Gabe Vincent is clearly not in the odor of sanctity with Lakers fans and truth be told, that is understandable. It remains to be seen whether the Purples and Golds will manage to get rid of him… and it won't be easy, his rating logically being at its lowest.
