Drummond wasn't good. I didn't say it was his fault we didn't win. He wasn't good. His lowest rated tenure of his career was the 30ish games with us. 3 years ago.

Think Drummond has taken an ego check since LA and is fine with being a backup center. Still an all time rebounder, but I can't take him seriously.

The problem isn’t that Drummond is a savior. It’s that rebounding was a significant problem and he’s one of the best rebounders in the league (ignoring every other wart he has).
Whether you want AD to play more minutes at the 4. Or hope to rely on someone for more than 2:30 of a game.
Drummond provides enough for the cheapest price possible.
That alone is a significant help.
Lakers have bigger needs than to commit significant role players in a trade or 1st round draft capital on a backup center.
But hey there’s always Taiwan Dwight.

Is it because Minny has 3 legitimate starting centers to Denver’s 1 and KAT has the matchup advantage over Gordon?
If MIN didn’t have Gobert and/or Reid, would DEN have the advantage?

Weird how Denver won last year despite 1 starting center.Is it because Minny has 3 legitimate starting centers to Denver’s 1 and KAT has the matchup advantage over Gordon?
Wait, they even played Minny before us.
Weird.

Yup weird indeed cause you still stuck on last year lmfao
Maybe you should watch round 2 and get back to me
Minnesota has a better chance than anyone beside BOS to beat DEN. Bet you didn’t know the Wolves have won 7 of their last 11 against the Nuggets lol
You do know that some playoff teams do get better from the year before with better coaching, unlike the Lakers

Jokić will have a hard time dealing with all that size, trust me
If I’m wrong in two weeks when the series is over, get back to me and I’ll gladly admit I was wrong about Minny’s bigs

Nobody can even explain how he's not a centerI mean imagine watching this past series and being like AD we need more from you
. Elite rim protector, shot blocker, rebounder and post player that doesn’t stretch the floor...not a center tho

If he’s the only big in the lineup playing center with a 6-8 Smurf power forward, and AD is playing the likes of Jokić, Sabonis, Embiid, etc….his ability as a center to “hold down the fort” becomes much more limited because he is likely going to deal with bigger frontcourts by himself as the only big which means added PRESSURE to defend the rim and the paint with LITTLE TO NO HELP INSIDENobody can even explain how he's not a center
The fact that people don’t get this is mind boggling
AD as the 5 works against the non title contenders. But if you’re trying to win a championship, AD as the lone big in the starting and closing 5 ain’t gonna work, and it’s been proven time and time again
