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

[Sinnerman]

It's funny how every time Bron get hurt he takes it hard to the hoop the next possession

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Morris is becoming unplayable.

 

[CantStop]

everyone aside from lebron and kcp have been horrendous for the 2nd straight game

 

[McPiff]

Breh I think not practicing and putting up shots is hurting the whole team on both ends. If Lebron doesn't want to practice then that should not stop the rest of the team from practicing.

I think he's scared of looking like a hypocrite after the Kawhi and PG practice situation last year.

They're not practicing?

 

[Mike18jj]

man this is legit horrible damn

 

[Voice of Reason]

They're not practicing?

They had only like 9 practices the whole season.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Matthews and KCP both look trash

 

[CantStop]

the struggle bros make me sick

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Too many non offensive threats

 

[Regular_P]

Wes has been for years. He had that one good game that got everyone gassed but this is who he is.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

What do you all think about bring Cousins back?


@Rhakim

I wish him the best but he seems pretty cooked

He's definitely an upgrade over Gasol in just about every way.

He's basically a slightly more mobile Gasol with worse passing and defensive IQ. I'm not seeing the upside.

Though I have this funny suspicion of the Lakers telling Cuz, "It'll be hard for us to give you the minutes you need to get back to game shape. Go sign that contract with Houston and get some real playing time out there, but don't try too hard and hurt yourself. Cause some problems with the coach and get them to waive you after the All-Star break - if AD gets hurt, do it earlier."

Give up Kuz

Hell No...Kuzma is on a bargain contract and can help us in a potential finals matchup against Brooklyn or Philly.

If we give up Kuz we need to get back a real game-changer.

I still don't understand how $14 million/year is a "bargain contract" for someone you can't rely on to do anything in particular when the real lineup is in a game.

On the other hand....

Kevin Durant names P.J. Tucker as NBA's best one-on-one defender

How Rockets' veteran P.J. Tucker put the clamps on Kawhi Leonard


So some of y'all want to take a pass on a guy who hits open threes and plays elite defense on KD and Kawhi?

 

[Damnshow]

Teams always play defending champions harder

 

[ALonelyDad]

Wes has been for years. He had that one good game that got everyone gassed but this is who he is.

Giannis won 60 games with Bledsoe and Wes, he deserves those mvps​

 

[Mike18jj]

4 people have scored for the lakers and lebron and kuz got 29 of that


Edit:5

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Way too many mins for Wes.
