My presence is much more welcomed than yours is, literally nobody respects or cares about your opinion on this team.

i don't care what you're you or whoever think.. point I'm making is I was in here consistently before Bron came and the discourse was alot better before you Bron slurpers came and fukked it up and many poster agree with me

Literally no one? Strange how I get plenty of daps and rep in here then, even from some of the confirmed Kobestans. I'm being dapped up by LWO posters for my basketball opinions even as we speak. The most insecure stans have straight up bytched to their fellow LWO to stop dapping me up cause it was making them look bad.

Look at my rep. Look at your rep. Even if you ONLY counted the rep we got posting in Laker threads I'd still shyt all over you. So don't even try to play a "no one respects your opinion" game with me, cause the reciepts are posted right on our profile and it doesn't look good for you. People tolerate you because you're a reliable kobestan and you troll Bron fans, not because you've ever had anything to say about basketball that they cared to read.

It's not going always to go like this... They will want mo in the line up...

They will want him specifically for teams like suns...or OKC .. big teams...


LBJ, Beasley/dlo, Vanderbilt, AD, MO

Unless Vanderbilt is really that good defensively he erases the size difference. His stranding reach is not elite

Ideally, you want Mo but is Mo ready to play and contribute? I mean, there's a reason we got him pretty much for free. If AD is hell bent on starting at PF , I can see them putting Mo in the lineup. Personally, I think that's too early.

LeBron out, that injury is more serious than they were letting on.

 

[CantStop]

I already told y’all Bron’s only motive was the scoring record but y’all tried to say Bron’s season was comparable to beans 2013 season. One had team success in mind and the other had personal goals in mind. For all the Bron Stans who say his foot injury is so serious, surely he’ll miss the all star game right?

You got Rui pretty cheap too. Neither one is necessarily ready, but Mo's right-now upside is more relevant to the team's needs than Rui's right-now upside. What Mo is being asked to do is relatively simple - just protect the rim and hit open shots. I'd bet on him being able to do that in a useful manner between now and April more than I'd bet on Rui suddenly finding his shot, learning how to see the court, or playing good defense for the first time.

blew out his achilles to get us to the playoffs bron resting to get us to lotto again. But we should beat them with no Steph

 

[Trojan 24]

shyt about to just hand over two straight games, when we need every single one possible

 

[CantStop]

I think it’s an equal game with no Steph. But that’s the issue, we can’t afford to have equal games. We need to take advantage of games like this. Plus Klay always goes nuclear against us and he’s been looking like prime Klay lately.

Bron not playing again disingenuous essays from fakkits who dont like the lakers but are interested in the team for some strange reason incoming

 

[CantStop]

beg the team to make trades to make up for the blunder YOU made when you CHOSE Westbrook and then quit on the team once they do

Bron Stan’s can’t even defend this one. His foot was fine enough to chase personal accolades but suddenly flared up once he reached his goal. How convenient.

What's the point of getting to the playoffs if you blow out your achilles on the way? Lakers don't even acknowledge that playoff appearance, it was a nobel gut-wrenching effort on Kobe's part but resulted in nothing for the team except a first-round sweep. If that happened to 34yo Kobe in his 16th season with no preexisting injury, then something bad is that much more likely to happen to 38yo Bron with a ton more mileage and already playing hurt. He's not trying to end his season in February, he's trying to have both himself and the team in an ideal place to make a run in April/May/June, and he knows if he's already shot by the time they get there then he's fukked.

As others have said, this is maybe a 50-50 game without Bron. So an injured Bron's presense is worth, what, 0.3 wins in this scenario? How is 0.3 wins at this point worth more than having a functional star player for the next 25 games?

I think lebron trying to just get to the break

But the team is good enough to get these wins without him
