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

[Rekkapryde]

No to Bron

 

[Flex Luger]

Go through this every summer with Bron and always reups in Cleveland lol. Dude is not about to come out west and have to deal with the Warriors 4x a year and in the playoffs every year. But if he dies come to the west if would be to the Rockets with Harden and CP3. Not here with a bunch of young dudes.

I'd be okay with losing as growing pains for a young squad...But giving away a top pick to either Philly (if it's #1) or even worse the Celtics (if it's 2-4 or whatever) is just a cut too deep.... These loses are fortifying their future that already looks brighter than than the lakers


Steve Nash ... He has one of Bean's MVPs, robbed the lakers of 60mil, and we traded what'll end up this year's pick for him...I wish he were never born

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I guess Im the only one unbothered about these losses



I just see a young team with not enough talent, playing on the GOAT franchise



Im already ready for next season....and I don't care if the rest of the players know we're going for 2 big FA's, its about the Lakers, not individuals



Only players I wanna keep is Lonzo, Clarkson, Ingram, Kuzma, and Randle. Everyone else can go



Sorry brehs, I will never be on the Clarkson & Randle bandwagon with yall....I think they would be great pieces off the bench for us in the future when we turn it around

I said earlier in the season that I preferred them off the bench...

Then Luke put them there and they started crying about it

Its not really Randle it's fukk his stans that want him starting 38 minutes a game again and us still being the same trash we've been in 3-4 years.

Off the bench they're cool but Randle doesn't want that.. He wants to start, play the exact same way he did last year, and mainly to get paid. If not, he's pouting and doing other loser shyt. Got Bogut and Lopez talking about "setting examples" because nikkas are crying and not being professional, not because they losing. Im not mad at him trying to get his money but do it off the bench where you are more suitable to help us win.

I'm actually cool with keeping Clarkson off the bench but dude is not a PG anymore. And after he said that "playing for p*ssy" shyt, I don't trust him. Whether if was a joke or not you know there was some truth to it.

Imagine Kobe saying that or hearing someone say that...

A lot of players from the past regime got real comfortable with losing as long as they got theirs. I don't want the younger guys to adopt the same mentality.

that hate should be directed towards Mitch kupchak.

 

[B...]

"the recruitment"

:thatso:

Spoiler

Save us, Paul.

In other words.. “I’ll see y’all next year” lol

Looking back I don't blame Mitch. Nash was coming off a great season and you add him to go along with Kobe, D12, and Gasol.

As much as I hated the trade I can't front like I wasn't for it when it happened. I think you have to shoot for the stars when you have a possible championship team. If they didn't have the season from hell it's possible Dwight stays, Kobe doesn't kill himself trying to make the playoffs and the Lakers are at least a consistent playoff team for long enough to only be giving up late first round picks. Sometimes shyt just blows up but I think it was worth the risk.

I just hate that Nash doesn't get killed for being such a shytty Laker and phoning in his seasons with the Lakers.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I think Kuzma needs to keep talking like that if he wants to be the leader. Don't be pc. I wonder what Ingram thoughts are. Walton needs to not be pc either. But you have to balance the good with the bad. Yes the team is young and these things happen and we have injuries.

Clarkson saying he playing for p*ssy now tho?

Thats the thing, Kuzma is not the leader.

He is not the one who will change the franchise around with the way he plays... But he is solid and speaks like a winner.

Still young and a rookie just offensively more polished than most rookies but still Zo is better and needs to actually be the leader in order for all this to work.

Scoring the most points doesn't make you a leader. Kuz is not Kobe. Kuz is a surprise but nikkas really need a chain of command and Kuz should be behind BI and Zo... For now

And Clarkson didn't say it verbatim but he said he likes scoring for the attention it gets bytches. Basically the same thing to me. I guess Kobe would say some shyt like that too.. What about MJ?

Kobe would've been on this nikkas head if he said some shyt like that and he heard it

The problem with that is Kuz is the one guy on the team who brings it every night, even if he's playing poorly. Ingram and Ball float through games at times. Kuzma's effort always remains the same.

Yeah Mitch was just trying to send a severely version of Kobe into the sunset with another championship or two

Kobe averaged 27/6/6 on 46% shooting.
