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

[Regular_P]

You guys need to learn to stop getting attached and overrating players just because they wear the Lakers uniform.

I don't know why these guys aren't looking at the big picture. Magic and Pelinka are plugged in.

By this point, it's pretty clear Paul George is gonna be in LA, possibly before the draft. Westbrook and Cousins are gonna be FA's next summer.

If they think they can get Westbrook, they could trot out a lineup against GS of Ball, Westbrook, Ingram, George and Nance (or Zubac or whoever else is at center). That looks A LOT more appealing than praying Russell and Randle figure it out.

 

[Dwight Howard]

He was drafted ahead of several players who are much better than him. So yes he is a bust.

Worse logic I've seen in a minute. Just stop dude.

Beth why are y'all discussing Westbrook? He has given ZERO indication he is leaving OKC...chill w the pipe dreams

 

[ALonelyDad]

wtf

 

[GreatestLaker]

You're right. Iverson, Blake Griffin and Hakeem are all bust too





dumbest logic ever

Is D'angelo anywhere as good as those guys? D'angelo is an unatheltic off guard with no elite skills. Very limited upside. Dude couldn't even net us a top 20 pick. If we had traded Ingram I would understand the outrage. But being upset over D'angelo being traded?

 

[ALonelyDad]

yeah..this gm is out of his mind

 

[Reid2Achieve]

Why do some fans want Westbrook? What about ball movement, player movement, and shooting correlates with Russell Westbrook?

If we throw the system away for Lebron ball, at least he is a generational talent that would theoretically vault us in to contenders.

are any of those so called better players drafted Russell from his draft ever gonna be as good as Curry, Kobe and Jordan?

Don't try to move the goalpost

He's gonna be a free agent next season. If Magic and Rob put out a quality team this year that looks one player away, he'd have to consider it.

Another long season like this one and Westbrook could change his tune.

They do, Kings want Fox anyways. These retards traded away D lo without a Paul George/Pacers guarantee, now the Pacers want a top pick and dont care about the Lakers offer..so Lakers are now all over trying to get a top pick to offer Pacers. Bunch of rookies

 

[Regular_P]

yeah..this gm is out of his mind

The second part of that tweet says they'd include one of those picks for George.

I'd rather take Ball and roll with him. Seems like Jason Kidd all over again with him.

Dennis Smith Jr. at five would be interesting though.

he flat out said he wants to go to the lakers and they aren't gonna just wait, instead they get their roster...

Apparently didn't learn anything from the Melo/knicks situation

that is true but they are afraid if he gets traded to another team they might convince him to stay, even then you dont melo/knicks your team. Magic and Rob are ruining it

 

[Captain Crunch]

I know y'all want stars, but don't do Lonzo like this. Going to the Kings is a death sentence

Not too mention, I ain't trying stay up late to watch Kings games fam
