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

[threattonature]

a lot of y'all were stanning Kuzma and saying he was better than BI

don't act funny now

I know I personally always had Ingram over Kuz and was saying they should give up anything the Pelicans want if they could figure out a way to keep BI.

If GOATnum never got injured we’d be transitioning from him to BI

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

BI wouldn't work on this current squad

What position would he play in the starting lineup?

Bron prefers playing the 3, and AD prefers playing the 4

And Danny Green serves us better at the 2 than BI would, despite BI being a much better player

BI would be a 6MOY candidate

He would eliminate the need for McGee or at least shortens his mins (Dwight would start)

He can actually guards 2's if you need too
(making a Dwight/AD/BI/Green/Bron lineup actually work to close a game out)

Comes in at the 6 minute mark for Dwight. Moves to the 4 when LeBron goes to the bench.

Just a versatile group that can defend and score.

Yall gotta get this Luke mindset outta here. Vogel would have plenty of use for him.

Bynum and BI showed the same type of heart. They were introverts that did their own thing and were goons. When Bynum got dunked on by Shaq, demanded the ball and dunked on him the next play and then shoved him running back when BI went after CP0

You really want BI coming off the bench

You get outta here with that shyt. Let that boy cook in New Orleans

Cook in New Orleans or help the Lakers win a championship

He'd still play close to 30 mins and get 17 to 18 off the bench.

What's funny is that Kuzma's alleged skill( spacing the floor) is BI's new specialty

Kuzma's only 3 pointer since coming back has been a halfcourt shot that he made by accident

What fukk head logic is this
Yal dikkheads so impatient you gotta minimalize Kuz after 2 games back cuz it dont fit your personal narrative you had for the lakers Give the man 25 games at least so

He shot worse 3pt% than Westbrook last year, Kuzma outside of his rookie year has never been a decent 3 point shooter in his life. Maybe he did really "improve" it but that is yet to be seen.

We gave him all last year and now he worked with lethal scammer so you know his jumpshot gonna be KCP status but worse FOH

this nikka has had one good year shooting. Even his college years he couldn’t shoot

 

[Darts]

Almost every championship team/dynasty has atleast one homegrown all-star. I always envisioned Ingram to be that to go along with another superstar. It could've happen too with some patience and luck.

Unfortunately impatient ass Lebron had to knock on our door first instead of Kawhi/PG etc. AD better stay and attract more stars

 

[CantStop]

Watching BI right now is like seeing your ex flourish with another nikka

you know you aren't the one for her but it still hurts



Randle leaving was

DLo leaving was

Lonzo leaving was

but BI

 

[TheLostOnes]

Ingram really dropped 40 and I missed it....

 

[Sinnerman]

Am I the only one who didn't know our season thread last year was put in the rafters?

The Lakers have played 97 minutes with Javale McGee on the court and 196 minutes with Javale off the court.

In the minutes with Javale on: ORTG of 97.7 which would rank 28th in the NBA

In the minutes with Javale off: ORTG of 109.5 which would rank 5th in the NBA.

This seems to line up with what I see when I watch the games -- the Lakers' offense isn't struggling, Javale is.

Javale isn't giving much value on the defensive end either although he hasn't been terrible on that end. I suspect his on/off splits there have more to do with how well Dwight is playing defensively.

In the minutes with Javale on: DRTG of 99.5 which would rank 6th in the NBA

In the minutes with Javale off: DRTG of 93.4 which would rank 1st in the NBA.

Pels having Jrue is holding Zo back. Makes no sense to have another pg out there with him.
