Bron was still hurting and not looking like himself from the ankle. The rest of the team was shooting like 20 percent from 3. And they still had a 2-1 lead over a Finals team by destroying them inside with AD-Bron pick and roll.

Healthy they win the chip for sure.
I know that. You know that. However, they also knew if KD toe wasnt on the line Brookyln wins it (assuming Kyrie was back). Its why they chased stars. Dame saying no got em really chasing.

Like I said Harden going there had them shook. People can hate all they want, but they signed Drummond outta fear of them having 1 legit big with size. Worrying about Brooklyn has fukked them the last two years.

Nikkas have been embarrassing themselves with these Buddy Hield rehashes. Swear that nikkas Derozan.

The move was to run it back or (in hindsight) get Demar.
Yup. The Lakers fanbase is filled with dumbasses. Some of the shyt you see these dudes post is straight up embarrassing.

You’re a fukking dumbass you love Bron more than you love the Lakers. We could’ve kept most of the team from last year and still added Hield. It wasn’t gonna take as much to get hield as it did to get Russ.

Buddy heild wasn't the move either. still a better option than trading for russ tho
Look at how Klutch sports has reacted this weekend, if you think they would be okay with not trading for Russ and doing something else then you are just being naïve :yeshrug:. Lakers didn't have many options, it was either to stay pat, trade for Hield or do a Russ trade.

No one is doing that, we wanted Hield over Russ for one simple reason and that is salary and getting to keep some assets. Also moving on from Hield would be much easier than it is Russ.

Anybody bringing up DeRozan being here clearly does not understand the salary cap, trading for DeRozan would hard cap the salary meaning no caruso, monk, tht, etc.

for the get derozan crowd,

how tf were we supposed to sign derozan :why:

out of all the shyt we could have done, that one involved derozan taking a massive paycut or the spurs doing a sign and trade with us which we all know wasn't going to happen. u guys hate on pelinka but want him to make moves that can't even be done in 2k. :snoop:

The Derozan shyt is the most annoying talk this season because it was not possible. Beyond that, there is zero chance he'd be playing like this next to LeBron.
