Imagine DeRozan playing with Bron, he would look like the Black Sasha Pavlovic

No way he averages more than 16 as the 3rd wheel here
We gotta stop pretending that Bron makes stars better...he makes catch & shoot role players better, that's really it

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. 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.
According to KCP's wife Rich Paul told them they had a choice between Sacramento and Washington. They choose Washington because they were close to Bradley Beal. Bron and them would have been cool with either choice.

What about Kyrie
If you know anything about Bron you’d know that dudes that can go get their own offense and shoot thrive next to Bron. Even Mo Williams did.
Garland would have actually fit great next to Bron because of his skillset.
The end.
this nikka @GreatestLaker been pushing that all season. high key he might be a klutch plant
bruh said we should have signed Derozan and Lonzo and kept caruso
homie said fukk a salary cap
Ya'll stay saying this dumb shyt like Bron didn't win championships with Wade, Kyrie, and AD

Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer
Facts. He doesn't
Ya'll stay saying this dumb shyt like Bron didn't win championships with Wade, Kyrie, and AD
all those guys were good already.
The subtext is that role players thrive playing with him while stars suffer. Kyrie and AD had two of their best seasons of their respective careers with him.all those guys were good already.
AD - shot like he never had in his career in the bubble; better individual stats in NO
Kyrie - ehhhh
Wade - come on now
