yet you take a title when you can. Its cute building organically hoping they become something, but 10/10 times you trade those kids for generational talent. Lakers might be ass but way we set up AD only 27 when lebron retires hell be around 30 and can attract another star

That's not how it work. Bron depletes future assets and when he leaves the cupboard is bare. There's no guarantee AD will be here in 3-4 yrs and we see he reached a zenith with a playmaker. No one wants to admit but we would've been better off waiting for him to hit FA, bc we'd still have all of our draft capital, young talent & could have signed/traded for the necessary pieces to compete for the next decade.

I'm still gonna be around in 5 yrs when Bron stans are not invested in Laker success. And it's a formality we will go through another dark ages. I'm being realistic.

so i went Raptors forum searchign and seems like most rap fans agree with you.

"Lowry propped Ibaka up quite a bit. Don't be surprised if his offensive production dives off a cliff... He can't dribble for the life of him and relied on the pick and pop game with Lowry. Fred couldn't figure out how to get any production out of him, that's for sure...

Also, his defense is atrocious. He might have consistently been our worst defender over the last two years. He literally gets lost or exploited every second play and is super vulnerable to switches, pick and pops, or anything that forces him to guard the perimeter. He's not good at guarding the pick and roll either. Just a super low IQ defensive player. Good shot blocker and rim protector though.

Your tune would be diff if he was a Laker

You basically described 90% of the big men in the league

I wanted Serge over Trezz and you can go see when we signed him wasnt thrilled (might be proven wrong now that hell be playing with playmakers), but people getting a @Miggs whose basically stating what other raps fans are saying. Again didnt watch much of serge last year

Ya all laker fans will be there like we were during ryan kelly, jordan hill, clarkson days. But when you have chance at title you go all in, thats the Lakers way. Plus Rob setting up open cap space to bring in more stars and added 2 young pieces unlike other bron teams that were all old veterans

If I were the Pelicans I'd consider signing/trading Ingram & pieces to Houston for Harden.

Rockets get a young star plus future picks and the Pelicans get a legit tier 1 superstar.

It would definitely be a bold move.
:dead: @ you thinking Ingram and some "pieces" are gonna land an MVP caliber player. :russ:

I don't think Harden will fit with SVG.

So did that respiratory illness go away? My question is what about his situation has changed, that makes him ready to play now?
Honesty hour...he seen the money drying up and wasn't willing to sit out a season, especially with a chance to live in Miami.

Or

He was kicking bullshyt and just didn't want to go in the bubble because the bubble was the safest place in America to be so if he wanted to protect his family he would've rushed to the bubble.
