Good call. I just remember him and Marshon Brooks jacking shots after they got to LA. :lol:

Yep, and I'm sure there's others, but also these current LA rookies are playing with a roster who's beat players are Nick Young and a washed Kobe, not top 10 all time Shaq and Kobe. These dudes will know what's up soon up just leave to have actual futures on other teams, or just be satisfied with the lifestyle in LA and take the Ls. Westbrook/KD/Porzingis ain't rescuing them. Maybe Tony Snell at best.
 
Lavine is garbage imo. I don't understand why anyone believes he'll ever be anything more than a chucker. Could be wrong but that's what I see so far

I'm on the Gerald green side of things but if I'm wrong more power to him. Won't be a bad thing to see minny back in the playoffs

Well he's definitely never going to be an All-Star. They for sure need to completely throw away the idea he's ever going to be a point guard if they even wanna get decent play from him.
 

If Oak can add this to hist game, no one should question the value of the post play.

It's strange how lavine's best skill is dunking but he's not an in game dunker at all, that's a completely different skill that he doesn't have.

homie believes embiid will still be a star tho :lol: I've got Lavines floor as a 6th man.

Wait, why is believing that Embiid will be a star funny?

If it was sarcasm nevermind

The guy hasn't played in two years. Let's be real, the odds of him dominating or being healthy for that matter are against him.
 
Has there ever been anyone who has been as chronically injured as Embiid has early in his career who has gone on to be an all-star? Nobody I can remember.
 
Ilgauskas but that's still not really encouraging. You could say bynum but you could clearly see the difference in his game after every injury.
 
I mean projecting his health for the rest of career is still up in the air. What's not up in the air is his potential to be a star. That's the one thing we do know. I don't see anything wrong with someone thinking he will become that star.

Judging by the recent pictures of him staying in great shape on putting on a load of muscle mass it leads me to believe he's working hard to take care of his body. Whether his body fails him who knows but that should increase his odds somewhat. Part of me feels he could have played this year. They're just playing it that safe given his age.

That's too bad. Porzingus would have fitted perfectly with Noel...Would have made trading Embiid a no brainer.

I am so glad they are changing the culture there. It's about time we stop regressing.

IMO 

It's because in game dunking requires having an elite first step, a strong frame to ward off defenders, and / or some gigs with the rock to shake free of your defender. Lavine has none of these traits.

So often, people say if someone can jump high that they're an elite athlete and I personally disagree. Jumping high doesn't make you a great athlete, relative to the NBA.
