GIVE A TEAM A RING N FEED EM 4 A YEAR, GIVE EM A DYNASTY N FEED EM 4 A LIFETIME: 2021 LAKERS THREAD

cant even breath on these nikkas without them blowin the damn whistle.

 

[Regular_P]

honestly not sold on dennis as our pg of the future. way too inconsistent. shot is broken

I still think he should be coming off the bench. There's just no natural role for him as a starter as long as LeBron is on the team.

he gonna throw a fit

Schroder has been trash but THT is getting too many minutes.

 

[CantStop]

lebron keeps letting this dude son him

 

[ALonelyDad]

our SG situation is horrendous

Pelinka might need to work the phones and get us a reliable 2. we can't count on KCP being bubble KCP. this might be the real him

Oladipo for a 2nd round pick, do it mitch

I hope just hope AD isn’t in territory where its inevitable that it might eventually go . I remember Richard Sherman was dealing with Achilles pain all season before he tore his shyt

nikka is 7 ft and moves like a guard. It is the same issue KD had, the Achilles isn't built for thay type of stress.

Nah, the brehs on the other side make a good point. I mean shyt, we can’t even find minutes for Kieff how much worse would it of been with Dwight too? Wish he coulda came back but it is what it is. We need Kuz and THT to grow up fast.

Dwight's defense, rebounding, and paint presence would be very useful in a potential playoff series versus Jokic, Embiid, etc....Morris, Harrell nor Kuz can't replicate what Dwight does. Then on top of it, you have Gasol playing like trash. Those 1-2 assist Mark gets every game doesn't mean shyt if he can't defend and control the boards. Did we really need more forwards when we already had a log jam at that position?....... I believe even without AD LA would still have a legit shot at winning the championship as long as we had someone like Dwight protecting the basket.

People keep saying our defense is just as good without Dwight, but they're not factoring in the soft early-season schedule.

My exact thinking

2nd open layup Matthews has given up. Get that scared bytch off the floor

 

[threattonature]

THT is a year away

I feel like they brought him along too soon

going from playing no mins to playing rotation mins for a 2nd round pick is damn near unprecedented

Nobody really gets better just sitting and watching. He's had his ups and downs which is expected. Best to have him take his bumps now so that by playoff time he might be useable if needed.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Caruso is the best guard right now

 

[Hersh]

if lakers dont cut it to 15 by 5 mins sit bron.

Breh, fukk off with all this Dwight talk. That fool is not the reason this team won a championship last season and will not be the reason if they don't win it all this year.

This team needed Rondo for leadership and Dwight for being Dwight


Bron's bad body language can rub off in down times.
