Terry has been awful off the bench. Not bad when he starts, but they should cut him from the rotation when Kyrie is there.
 
Last year LeBron was the 2nd best player in the regular season behind Harden and the best player in the postseason. It's not hard to see why people still considered him the best player in the league. This year it looks like it's finally coming to an end.
 
Kerr was pissed from the start of that game. I know that feeling when ur mind is elsewhere it takes u a minute to process what's happening right in front of u

Well, considering he retired after last season this is not surprising
 
People who think Durant is the best player in the world, do you really see him being great in a situation like the Bucks, Rockets without Chris Paul or last seasons Cavaliers?

I believe the Warriors were having trouble when Curry missed some time this season.
 
Biggest reasons Ratsull was gone

1. Snitching incident
2. Immaturity

The latter was across 3 different coaches including Kenny in Brooklyn where he's just now being allowed to be trusted to make the right decisions at the end of games. Being traded from three Lakers was the best thing to happen for his career. He was definitely humbled by the entire ordeal though sometimes it takes a shocking event to put you on the right track.

Ultimately the grade for the Lakers will depend on Zo's development. Im confident as soon as better coaching is in place he'll realize his potential as well whether here or elsewhere.

There's no reason to believe he wouldn't flourish in those aforementioned situations. It's tired now, but his MVP season kind of proved this, and he's better today than he was then.

Warriors had trouble when Steph was out because Boogie wasn’t back yet, Draymond missed the majority of those games too (I think), Klay can’t do much off the dribble, and the rest of the roster is fringe NBA talent.

Bucks wouldn’t be any different if you swapped KD for Giannis.

We'll find out next season
 
Lol even in La d’angelo showed real tangible promise. It was pretty close to obvious. Whenever he got minutes he produced

Spin it how you want, but the lakers traded D’Lo (who was young, and was trending towards this when he got bump) in part because they had a direct chance to draft his replacement and his replacement, the number 2 pick in the draft

Is putting up 9/5/5 on 40/30/40 and is Injury prone while d’lo is pushing teams to the playoffs as an all star.

That’s bad gm’ing right there. Surely some will say defense, and impact with Zo but imagine if Trae young next season or d fox this season put up that line and we tried to say “but defense!”

They Traded D'Lo because they drafted his replacement & they wanted to open up two max Slots... Having a PG who needs the ball in his hand to be effective while planning to have Lebron & still having Ingram who also needs the ball to be at his best, was unnecessary. I like D'Lo but ZO, Lebron & another possible AS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Him, that scenario isn't possible with D'Lo on the team.

IDC about Zo's counting stats that much, he wasn't drafted to be some Go to Scorer. I Have watched This Laker team look like two completely different squads W/O Lonzo on the floor. We Went from a top 7 Defense with Lonzo to dead Last w/o him, point blank period Lonzo helps the team play MUCH better when he's on the floor that's all i could ask for from a young player.

He would have been a nice piece, but he had to get dealt in order to set us up for this summer. Also as far as injury prone goes the two seasons prior to this D'lo played 63 & 48 games respectively, he ain't exactly a pillar of health himself. Magic & Pelinka have had some mistakes no doubt, but Trading D'Lo isn't one It was a necessary move.
 
Im checking the box score and Muscala aint eem getting burn on the Lakers? Y’all gave us zubac for a dude that gonna get DNPs?

What does Lonzo have to do with Russell? They could’ve had both.

That’s another hilarious thing. The fact that the FO couldn’t see how well they would mesh because they’re stuck in this old school one PG who leads the troops mentality, highlights their possible incompetence when it comes to basketball decisions.

You got a dude who says KCP is biblical bread, and another dude winking on Jimmy Kimmel. A lot of used cars salesmen vibes.

Lucky for the Lakers Rich Paul runs that organization
 
A lot can change between now and July, but it's looking like a dry summer for the Lakers.

And this was the summer to acquire a max free agent. They can't push it back another summer.

Will Lebby give up #23 when Magic inevitably throws the full max at Yuckmouth?
