2 of Amerika’s Most Wanted: The Official GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2019-2020 season thread

Maybe it should be put this way, had AD known would he have waited?

Nah cuz what’s in it for him to play another year in NO under any circumstance? He still made some nice business moves this season.

Waited till FA, I think AD is one guy who would have came here because he is very close to LeBron and you get to keep our young guys/picks as well.

fukk them picks...and fukk waiting. You never know what would've happened if we didn't trade for him. Could have been like the PG situation where we thought it was a given he was gonna come to the Lakers when he hits free agency. Then another team trades for him and he ends up re-upping. Nah nah fukk that...I know we gave up a lot...and still have alot more to give up in the offseason...but Anthony Davis has been worth every penny. I legit believe we were the best team in the league which is incredible seeing as we missed the playoffs just last year. Plus our cap situation isn't that bad, we had a very real chance of getting Kawhi in free agency if it wasn't for that nikka I mentioned before. We can't really do shyt in the way of trades but you don't think we can pick up a good free agent when the season ends...like a DeMar DeRozen...or a Mike Conley. Plus we'd get Demarcus back. This is what we wanted. At least what I felt was a reasonable expectation. A team that could be in contention for a few years while Lebron's still great and healthy. That windows not gonna be open forever. So far this season has been a joy to watch in year that's been tough in more than a few ways. We just need to get thru this Rona shyt so we can get back to the GOAL. Bringin' some gold back to the GOAT Franchise in the memory of Mamba

Team would be absolutely insane if we had signed AD outright. Still would’ve been tough on Zo and BI’s growth imo. BI gotta play the 3 so if Bron did decide to just be at point then that sends Zo to the bench when he should be starting.

Last year was when that group should’ve went. I miss them lil tank dogs.

Scoop's piece in the Slam tribute issue is flawless. He's one of us and 100% gets it.

LeBron knows how to use his size, especially when he's able to isolate on the block. The key to the most dangerous post games is footwork. In the sessions with Hakeem you can see him working on basic stuff to counter different defenses, taller defenders etc.

You are right of course. Footwork is the base to everything. Honestly I would like to see more jump hooks, reverse pivots, and drop steps with a spin every once in awhile mixed in

Kobe brehs. Can y’all give me your personal favorite game from the goat. Not the 81pt game or the 60 in 3 quarter game. I’m having nba withdraws and a lot of time on my hands this weekend gone watch some classics while I’m chilling getting high

Question for the Laker fans not the Bronsexuals:

someone brought up the point if we knew in the summer that the Season would be canceled would you have still traded for AD or waited til FA

another injury season of zo/bi/bron would have been cool.

they were starting to find their groove before december

Nothing like the PG situation. We had beef with his agent whereas AD is on Klutch and has an agent who’s priority is Bron. He was gonna sign with us regardless no team had pieces to trade except Boston and rich Paul was making it known he wasn’t gonna resign there

Season is not over u til they say the season is over....

My bet is... They start back later....play like 5 games to get it going ..go to the offs...

Of course its not the same exact situation...but to say "nothing like it" is a reach. Similar enough for me not to want to risk it. Point is, Lakers been spurned too many times in free agency. Anything can happen...nothing is guaranteed. Right now we are an attractive landing place for free agents BECAUSE we have AD (and Bron obviously)...PLUS we have a very good chance to win a title THIS YEAR... if the season isn't over.
