People here arguing about Zubac, and D'Snitch just went for 25 points, 10 assists against the bucks in a win on the road.
Not really an argument, more truth-telling than anything, but only because of the game. I still like Zu. He's been doing a lot of talking about the Lakers though, so he needed to show something and didn't. I was just looking for fireworks in that game and came away disappointed. Definitely wanted the Clips to win. Personally, I'm tired of LAL winning games when they should be losing for better draft odds. As for D'angelo last night, Giannis didn't play and the Bucks are locked into their seed without much to play for. More impressed with his game against the Kings, even though the Kings suck, at least they were still playing for something at the time. Big picture, still don't believe we're going to see any superstars go to Brooklyn to play with an inexperienced, young, ball dominant guard that's taking a bunch of shots..and a snitch
And don't think any stars would've come to join D'angelo if he had stayed either. Which is sort of important since he won't be leading any teams to championships as the guy. He's not Dwayne Wade.
I dont care about Russell. That trade was to get rid of mozgovs money and they had ball coming up on deck. understandable.
More than getting rid of Mozgov, Russell took a private teammate conversation and blew it up to the public. Say what you will about Nick Young, that was a bush league move. You are supposed to be the floor general and you pull that kind of move? It showed a level of immaturity that was kinda shocking, and I’m sure it led to trust issues in the locker room. At the end of the day, I think these moves led to us getting Kuzma, so it worked out in my book. As for Zubac, that move did puzzle me, but the book hasn’t been written in this trade. Let’s see the move in the context of a full season.
meebs saying the murder of nipsey hustle is "one of the most unfortunate event in American history" sort of like the Lakers choosing to bring you to LA moron
Javale says he " proved something this year. " 32 years old and out there playing to prove he can be a starter..for maybe another year..for a team without championship aspirations (again) Out here campaigning Smh
Zubac was dead on Moe's arrival. Fairly predictable outcome. May also be a safe assumption that Zu will fetch more per year in free agency than Javale will this summer. Julius was Young's best friend on the team and Julius reportedly distanced himself completely from D'angelo after that foolishness..well, as much as you can when the guy is a co-worker. Kid did everything he could to fuck up. However, Porzingis is a rapist, so we could've done worse in that draft Lol
Caruso starting to piss me off, has 10 points in the 1st quarter..LAL up 7. Still plenty of time to lose this, but Caruso has obviously been possessed by the ghost of Pistol Pete. Colt Caruso
Don't worry, when the Lakers let him go next year, Borat will bitch about how stupid the FO is for letting him go.
Haven't seen a Laker game since 2011. Just checked the standings I love how horrible the they are. Hope they are under .500 every year Lebron is in uniform
To be fair, there are a lot fans bitching about the Zu trade. They're all wrong, but yeah, he's got plenty of company. He's somewhere in middle of a pretty big herd of sheep. I don't know, Caruso may actually have a shot at sticking. LeBron looks like he enjoys the caped Caruso crusader. He's definitely doing a lot of good out there..the offensive array he's showing, but really no retro drawbacks as with Zubac. And unlike Zu, he is a guy that Magic/Pelinka brought in, so he has that going for him as well. We'll see soon enough
What on Earth.. This is truly like a replay of D'angelo's last year, where they basically went undefeated down the stretch and ended up somehow still keeping the draft pick
And now KCP is possessed by George Gervin Fuckin Ice Man and Pistol Pete out here And Javale just did a Wilt layup. I'm dead
Lol...scrubs outplaying the Jazz, who should be fighting for 4th seed. Scrubs better than Lebron-Kuzma-Rondo team lol.
Forget about Anthony Davis and go for Blake Griffin. Send Kuzma and Wagner to the Pistons as a sort of homecoming for them. Or maybe the Pistons would prefer a couple 1st round picks instead. In a run and gun small ball system Blake could be a center. Specially now that he has morphed into a good 3 point shooter and rounded out his mid and high post games as well.
