Yo, Scottie Pippen Jr. is now teammates with his former stepdad Malik Beasley 

I also think Russ is going to the Clippers now.
For when folks say the Lakers don’t have any picks

I’ll believe it when I see it on this team .. but that’s what they better hope he can do becuse they have nothing else in the event he falters
They really do need some sort of real 3 & D guy …maybe they’ll just outscore people ..that could be the strategy because this offense should be excellent with the shooters finally in place …or maybe Ham comes up with some sort of blitz/scramble back scheme but I really worry about them keeping players in front of them on the perimeter… I didn’t initially think they were but they might need to start Vanderbilt over Rui even tho his shooting is shaky
People who said Bron gutted the team's future were either lying or clueless.
Rob Pelinka went from WOAT to GOAT in 2 weeks, what is he on??
Take notes on this fade.A buckeye I can respect. Come take notes, @smitty22![]()
Not listening to players
Rob's generally made good moves. The only really bad one was Russ, which was forced on him by Klutch and Jeanie. The insane Klutch/LeBron narrative slandering him for being inept that caught on with so many was nuts.Pelinka
Wonder what @ALonelyDad is gonna say now that he can't blame Pelinka for Ham's bozo rotations and defensive matchups, like Bev defending small forwards.Gonna miss Pat Bev tho he was by all metrics one of the top defenders at his position. Underrated playmaker and was hitting shots too. Gonna be hard replace his vet presence too![]()
trading lonnie and +a vet min could have got them bamba. Would have done that instead, bev is a culture setter and the best perimeter defender on the squad.Don’t really understand the Bamba trade …if they were trying to free up room for Gabriel and Vandy where will Bamba get any meaningful minutesAnd now who are the lakers going to use to guard point of attack in pick n rolls …DLO and Dennis/Beasley?
Maybe they’re going with a “our offense will be our defense” approach
