You were wrong about Kuz thought but yeah I was getting trashed for saying THT was sorry for the last two years.

Team is garbage & that “if we had AD” narrative has been proven false. We were below average with him
Nunn being the difference maker. We are an avg to below avg team. We have all the traits Can’t string together long winning streaks. Can beat other avg to below avg teams
Actual tier 1 or tier 2 teams push our shyt back. I still think we have very winnable games remaining. That’s more to do with the opponent not us

Nunn would have made a big difference on offense he gives you an efficient 15 on 48/38/90 splits

You were still saying this team was a role player away from a title just two weeks agoNunn would have made a big difference on offense he gives you an efficient 15 on 48/38/90 splits
Let me guess we still have a chance
For the last two years every time AD is healthy vs the Suns he cooks them for damn near 40.
They have no answer for that man.
If the Lakers that beat the Cavs and Raptors add AD and possibly Nunn I think they have a shot
Booker and CP3 would cook them, can't guard the perimiter like they did last year.
He's so young, it's easy to talk yourself into his future after a good game, but he really hasn't shown any progress on his weaknesses in two years, (defense, 3pt shooting, no left-hand),
Kuz should have been traded at his peak value the year before instead of waiting for last offseason. Lakers have no reason to regret trading him, just regret trading him for Westbrook. Don't be fooled by his high-usage stats - he's still far more valuable as a high-usage player on a shyt team than as a role player on a good team. Too inefficient and too poor on defense to be a true playoff contributor.

AD
KCP
Caruso
Were the only guys worth keeping from that 2021 squad. And either KCP or Caruso could be traded in a package if you were upgrading with a better 3-and-D guard/wing.
For the price, I think picking up Monk, Nunn, Carmelo, Reaves, and Johnson were all solid roster-filling moves. But they also needed 1-2 more defensive bigs (someone like Isaiah Hartenstein), another ballhandler (Lowry? Dragic?), probably a more reliable shooter (Heild?), and most of all a reliable high-level 3-and-D wing (Covington? Batum?). They should have then used Kuzma, THT, Harrell, possibly draft picks, possibly Schroder sign-and-trade, and possibly KCP or Caruso to get those.
Yeah but I think they should bench him.Russ been balling lately. Good W for the team.
Or just waive him, why not?
He's the worst player on the team and the league. He just got lucky today.
Don't worry, he'll get 15 TOs and shoot 12% from the field next game. I'm sure of it.
Russ said Pat Bev clowning him was a step way too farYeah but I think they should bench him.
