I don't see how DLo even gets $10 mil this summer.
He's gonna find out that teams with ambition aren't interested in him in any featured role and teams who ain't shyt don't wanna overpay him to not be shyt.

He's gonna have to accept those Nets days where anyone thought he had a bright ass future are over and just accept his new journeyman lifestyle.

He's been on 4 teams. 5 more to go.

it's almost like... I don't know, DLo wasn't the biggest issue.

Bu bu but if he makes a few more shots, we're up 2-1

How do you guys go to sleep this delusional? This team isn't that good and we're playing against Jokic who is 2 tiers above anyone we have on this team.

What a dumbass, when @Torrential made this argument yesterday to say Bron was the only one to blame, you dapped him up and tried to pile on. But today you're mocking the argument, and @Torrential is dapping you up. Y'all have no shame.

3 of the 4 games went down to the final minute, with Denver making ridiculous shots all series. It is what it is.

This team as constructed isn’t winning a title unless we get another player that can allow Bron to consistently be a number two option and that would allow AD to be a 1B on some nights. The only player really that fits that is Dame, Kyrie is just a level below that IMO but it might be our best shot:yeshrug:
Kyrie is clutch tho. Thats what the Lakers would need. All these close games against Denver we didn't have a guy who can create their own shot to take a lead. D Lo was supposed to be that guy but he was fukkin unplayable

This year proved depth > 3 star team. We need to stop the Kyrie wishes. Just add more pieces to this team. Next year is probably the end of the Bron/AD duo, they will give it one more shot.
My dream is Dillon Brooks, Naz Reid and a shooter this summer.

@Rhakim told me basketball was played on charts so why did Jamal Murray who has below both Bron and AD on these charts outplay both of them by a significant margin.

And Murray skyrocketed up those charts during the WCF. You do realize it's possible to play better in a round than you played in previous rounds?

Some of you talk basketball like your intellectual development ended at 11.

Bryant deal? Pointless.
Mo Bamba? Pointless.
Everyone loved the Westbrook trade.

The Rui trade is the only one that panned out, but that's a byproduct of y'all having nothing to deal.
Y'all are gonna have to hit the bargain basement list hard and find depth that will come in and do the job.
Draft someone good at #17 and let that pick and Max Christie take steps forward during the summer.
Who is everyone? You can't find one post of mine where I praised that trade. Vando was the best piece we got from that deal and he aint anything special.

Stop ducking

Why did Bron get outplayed by Jamal but his head was above him in the charts you love(d) to post? It’s almost like basketball isn’t played on Microsoft excel.

Then we were doomed from the start. D'lo never been that guy. Especially in the playoffs.

Why people calling for Pelinka head, that Westbrook trade was not bad. That trio literally changed the culture and dynamic of the Lakers, and salvaged a pretty horrible start of the season. They even had some moments in the playoffs, but after a while you can tell why they were traded to begin with, it is what it is :manny:.

The main issue going into next season is your two stars is a 39 year old Lebron and a inconsistent player named AD. Gotta start building this team for the future and that starts with Reaves/Rui.

I do believe we can make the playoffs again next season though, but I don't know about championship. I have to see how the roster looks after the trade deadline.:francis:
