Lebron really played a game against okc instead of giving his team a chance to beat a better team. I know yall glad that points shyt over
:dahell:

that's exactly what he should do. play the winnable game against the team you're fighting against for a playoff spot and sit against the team you have little chance of beating at full strength. This pathetic team just folded against OKC but the plan made sense

Rui is pissing me off:

* Not being aggressive
* Poor defense
* Missed wide-open shots
* Missed free throws

I'd be very cautious about giving Rui a 12-15m multi-year contract.......In fact...I'd be more inclined to do a sign/trade with Brooklyn.....The Nets owner tried to trade for Rui before the Lakers acquired him....If the Lakers can get back a quality rotation player for Rui, I wouldn't be against it.
This is who he always been. A very inconsistent player. I don't know why people were so hyped about getting him.

I think it’s obvious the trades were done for next season. This season is a lost cause. It seems like they’re going younger. I need AD to pull a KD and request out. Bron should leave too. U know how many picks we could get?

Lol @CantStop again with the bipolar fandom.. I like you brah but you gotta stop with the back and forth

We needed to trade for players this year because the FA options are ass and we would be wasting having Russ just expire on the books. It was never gonna be expected that we win against the Bucks with a skeleton crew lineup.. Honestly I thought everyone played pretty well (besides AD) all things considered.

Did you not see that nikka have his shoe off during every single timeout and when he was on the bench against OKC? He's been battling a foot issue almost all month

They're idiots. Why would you want to play him against ones of the title favorites from the other conference rather than playing him against the team you're actually battling with for a playoff spot?

He's 38yo and playing hurt. It obviously helps the team more to sit him when possible so he can actually contribute the other games. If they were Laker fans they'd be pissed off at AD and Ham while being grateful that Bron is still elite every time he's in... but they have bigger agendas going on.

What part of everything is irrelevant if AD is washed is hard to understand


That’s 40M wasted

AD isn't "washed" persay.. He's just always gonna be a #2, I don't think he'll ever be a #1. Lebron is still playing like a #1 so it works for now and with the pieces they have from the trades they can make noise and beat just about any team in the West besides maybe the Clippers

AD isn’t a number 2 tho. Number 2s can hold it down when number 1s are out. Look at our record with AD and without Bron. Kyrie is a number 2. Paul George is a number 2. AD is just a guy who’s better than most players at his position. Unfortunately he’s getting paid like he’s elite and he’s not.
