Just LBJ and AD? Not making the playoffs.

You don’t understand how trash AD is. He is the black Kevin love with less skill and heart

The Lakers think they are getting this franchise player in AD and I do agree he's top 5 talent-wise when healthy.

Dude is injury prone.

He's underachieved with the talent he has had around him, dude has been in the league like 7 years and been out of the first round only once.

AD is a talented enough player he should have been able to get further than the first round or not making the playoffs with Jrue Holiday, Mitotic, Tyreke Evans, Julius Randle.

Holiday is one of top 5-10 two way players in the league. Mirotic, Randle, and Evans were high quality role players.

AD is an injury prone primadonna and pairing him up with an aging LeBron isn't going to yield the results Laker gang are thinking .

I said in another thread this dude might be the black Kevin Love....where he puts up 20 and 10 but ultimately the team just doesn't do anywhere or do anything

It's a bit concerning to me that after Rondo left they just went back to being trash rather AD played or not...

Lakers fans happy don’t even realized they traded all that for a injury prone player who at best can lead his team to the 2md round

:lolbron:

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
The Pelicans wasting the 4th pick we traded them in AD doesn’t get talked about enough.

Hayes is DNP-CD while Hunter/Garland are looking like budding stars

Our second rounder THT>>>Hayes
I’d still call it the rare win-win trade, but I totally agree. I’m not gonna put THT over Hayes in the long run yet since we all knew Hayes was a raw prospect coming out, but they definitely fukked up.

I was shocked they did it on draft night taking Hayes. His upside is basically an athletic rim runner who catches lobs, wtf are you doing picking that in the top 10?

Without thinking about trading back I wanted them to pick Garland on draft night. His handling, passing, and perimeter shooting makes him the exact kind of guard you want with Zo and Zion, and he’s coming along really nicely for Cleveland now. Even Hunter who was taken at 4 is looking really nice, and then to trade back and pass up on Cam Reddish? :mjlol:

Only thing I can think of is they wanted a defensive big next to Zion for the future

But man wouldn't you want a big who can space the floor next to Zion who's looking to live in the paint? :francis: investing a lottery pick on that just seems so silly
Look at how Brook Lopez opens the floor for Giannis

Adams has been fine, bigger issue is that teams don’t respect hart, Bledsoe, Lonzo as shooters. Only Redikk and Ingram are truly getting attention.

Adams also helps with defense because Zion is not very good right now. Brook would be perfect big but not too many guys like him available.
