Ballers Wanna Ball, Rollers Wanna Roll, But We're Taking All--The Official 2017-2018 Lakers Thread

[O.T.I.S.]

it is what it is. we just gonna what to agree to disagree bruh

I'm cool with that

with the lack of shooting...yea he was. just because we traded him doesnt mean "he's not the answer". teams make dumb trades everyday

You act like he's shooting that much better... Especially from 3 which is what we need

See the thing with dlo is the inconsistenty. That nikka might average 5 turnovers a game but its not like hes dropping 5 turnovers every game. He will have a unbelievable game a drop 7 or 8 impressive dimes with no turnovers and then drop 3 assist with 8 turnovers. Like he average 20 a game but its not like jes dropping 20 evety game. He will come out and drop like 30 on 14 shots and then drop like 16 on 23 shots. When he is on the nikka be so impressive because he makes it looks so easy but when he have a bad night its like hes a Washington general frfr. If you watch him his court vision is very real tho, even realer than balls. Ball is a much more willing passer tho and willing to move the ball with in the offense.

I know what DLo can do bruh. Ball out here dropping 9/10 assist in a game with zero or maybe one turnover as a rookie and nikkas still shytting on him for Dlo.

I believe his court vision is real too BUT he's not a pg to me. Him and Zo together would probably be dope but it doesn't matter. We got Lopez and Kuz that are at the very least equal to Dlo in production

Dlo needed a change anyway. He got it. Best of lucj to the young guy

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Thats a lie. Nick young is basically a spot up shooter and just started being seen as an average defender last year. Don't be a hater bruh just because you like ball don't mean you gotta hate on dlo

Lets be real, Nick is not just a spot up shooter. He can spot up and create his own shot off the dribble if need be.

And he has consistently shown that he can defend if he puts his mind to it. He's shown all of that in GS just this season alone

I don't think him and zo would've been good honestly hes good off the ball but hes more effective coming off the pick n roll. And i agree hes not a point, he struggle when ignition an offense but is next level in the pick in roll. I do feel like la should play ball next to clarkson more tho

Nick didnt start his career as a spot up shooter but now thats basically what he is. Just facts.

And like i said before last year when was anyone talking about nick young as any kind of defender. Even he admitted that luke asked him to step up into that role and he took on the challenge

 

[Newzz]

And this is what I don't understand about you Dlo stans that SAY they are Lakers fans and secretly dislike Zo...

Aside from Balls lack of shooting AT THIS POINT, please seriously explain to me what and how is Dlo supposedly a better player than Ball????

Especially considering this is Dlo's 3rd year? And this is Balls what, FIRST 10 GAMES?

Ball has already shown to be a better and more willingful passer. Already a better rebounder.. Already a MUCH better defender which is what I thought was going to be his biggest obstacle honestly.

So aside from shooting (despite DLo shooting like shyt from 3) in what shape or form is Dlo a better player? Dlo apparently aint changing no cultures in BK unless I'm mistaken.

And they have a worse record

What assists records in college did DLo break?

And this isn't even a Lonzo dikkriding post. Zo got a lot of shyt to work on mainly getting easy baskets. You can't be missing FT's and normally he shot those well in college. You can't be missing WIDE OPEN shots. I get on Lonzo like anybody else.

If Zo was executing just his EASY shots, this wouldn't even be a discussion or even close to one. Zo is not even a scorer

All facts.

I DONT HATE DANGELO I JUS KNOW HE'S INEFFICIENT AND INCONSISTENT

NICK YOUNG IS NOT A SPOT UP SHOOTER, MOST HIS SHOTS COME OFF THE DRIBBLE

WHO KNOWS, MAYBE ONE DAY DANGELO WILL DEVELOP INTO A DEPENDABLE PLAYER.. BUT AS OF NOW, HES NOT
