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

How much do y'all think he will want? He gotta realize being LA is part of the reason he's getting any of the deals he got. I mean he's got a shoe deal outta being on the Lakers. No other markets can get him that kind of clout.

I’d give him 10-12 a season. I’d give him more if that loser Dennis doesn’t come back

Caruso should stick with us and try to double up. He’s becoming a defensive gem. If he just adds a three or some kind of shot then he can really demand more on the market later.

But we all know Cuban and Ainge gon be on the cut ready to overpay.

THT is terrible he should not see major minutes in the playoffs.

He isn't terrible, you just like to hate.

What is his 3 % this season?

I mean he was like 40% from 3 this year so I'd say he's pretty good at his roll. I honestly think he will want like12-15 a year and I dunno if they can pay that. They should definitely sign and trade Dennis though.

40%

40%

So that suggests he's a better shooter than given credit for

Yeah he's low volume though like 3-4 a game. I think he is a really solid glue guy/sixth man. I don't see him as a starter though because of his lack of scoring. We saw when he started he just doesn't have the touch to fully control the game like that as a scorer. His defense bbiq are high though.

One thing that's weird to me is that they don't run the Lebron AD pick and roll a lot and I swear every time they do it's an easy score. They legit ran it once last night and it ended in an easy dunk for AD.

Perhaps Vogel saving it for when we need it deeper in the playoffs

I thought the same thing too but last year they barely ran it either lol. Even in the WCF and Finals they didn't run it much.

AD has been settling for jumpers since he's been a Laker though.


AD's special sauce is his defense and his athleticism for his size.


I don't think Vogel really has ever maximized AD's offensive potential

Thats scary cause AD had a historic playoff and finals run last season

This is peak AD

2018 playoffs












More taking bigs off the dribble and pick and rolls and less post ups in the high post.

One thing I notice is they ran so much more pick and roll than we run for him leading to easy buckets.

We did in the second half . AD can iso and score on anyone but hes not in the best shape just yet
