This dude refuses to see any positives with LaVine
They lost. Again, Ricky coulda scored 82 tonight and I'd have the same answer. I'm not knocking ANYONE for their performances tonight, Zach included. I just don't care anymore. The only number worth a damn is 64, and that's how many L's they have. Assuming they don't win again (and they won't), they will have the 2nd worst record in team history, a history where 33% of their seasons have 60+ losses. Yet y'all want me to look at the glass half full even if it's a glass of piss.
I'm not upset. I just don't care. No news is good news at this point.

Come on bruh, you can say a lot of things about LaVine but he does have potential to be a good player.
He's had some very impressive games this year
An optimistic observer knows he can't play PG. A non partisan analyst the future for him if he has one wouldn't be there. It would be at best where Wiggins should ideally be. So even in a best scenario, he can't improve without it being at Wiggins' expense. Still happy?
I don't feel Rubio should be a starting PG in the NBA anymore, I'd roll the dice on LaVine playing PG even if he doesn't do it in a traditional way, since I already know what Rubio is going to do there, 9ppg, 5rpg, 8apg and shoot 36% in the process. Those last few games he played were absolutely pathetic to watch, how teams straight up leave him when he gives up the ball.
At this point you definitely need a starting PG, cause the guy you think is that dude clearly isn't.

Not including the 2 years prior to this (which weren't great either but at least there was a concerted effort to compete), since the Rambis era they've gone 15-81 in March and April. Glass half full though right?
No one's gonna remember these games. Why should they? They lost.Anymore? Was there ever a point you did care?

By traditional you mean good and conducive to winning?
shyt, Dieng was balling last year in games they actually won. What did it lead to? The biggest disappointment in recent memory (and there have been many). LaVine won't be disappointing at least. There's a cookie thrown at his direction.
I don't wanna turn this into a bash LaVine night. I don't. I don't enjoy doing this. I've had so many opportunities to do that (and let many of them slip). I simply don't care about what they've done. They lost. It's not leading to anything. There's no payoff for this and even in your pie in the sky optimism for this guy, it'll look that much dumber when they draft Mudiay this June.

Well, if you're talking about good and conducive to winning Rubio certainly isn't a traditional PG either. Sorry, but I can't bite my tongue anymore about how trash that dude is and how having a PG that cannot shoot next to a player like Wiggins isn't smart long term.
I'd roll the dice on LaVine at the 1, it's not like Rubio has been doing anything noteworthy and if you have to take Mudiay so be it. He projects to being a better player than Rubio so I don't see how it would be a bad move
You can always trade LaVine, he actually has more value than Rubio around the league when you take contract into account and what he's done down the stretch.

The only reason why anyone likes Zach is because he can dunk and everybody loves dunkers. We love dunkers so much we gave James White a 2nd chance just to see if he can do dunks we've already seen him do. That's all it is and nobody should feel shame in that, but it damn sure isn't because he's a winner.
Mudiay can't shoot either. He's just big. Flip just thinks they're an Eric Bledsoe away from greatness.
Flip won't trade his baby even if it was the right thing to do. They don't have shooters period. Me, I'd deal LaVine and Dieng for Hezonja in a heartbeat, but why do something that smart?
This is true. LaVine also seems like a player that just won't just fall into a position, he'll be a tweener guard his entire career
Nah, it isn't the dunking because he hasn't had any really great in game dunks yet, it's the fact he has what looks to be an offensive game. You can't sit here and call him unskilled on one hand, then not acknowledge the fact he's shot better from the field in his rookie year than Rubio ever has. When I watch him I see Jamal Crawford with a chance to be more than that, for a dude that is raw offensively he's done an admirable job playing PG. His decision making needs a ton of work but he's 19, you're really hard on this dude and he's had a stretch here on offense at least better than ANY run Rubio has ever been on.
Mudiay is a better shooter than Rubio and most importantly he will more than likely be able to finish in the lane, which is something Rubio can't do (LaVine can as well).
They don't have any shooters, and their PG is one of the worst ever at his position, that cannot be stressed enough. I have more faith in LaVine developing a jumper than I do Rubio. I don't shyt on Rubio to antagonize you, I don't even @ you with my criticisms of him anymore, I truly feel he's not an NBA starter. I'd say to trade him, but there isn't a team in the league that would take him right now. I just can't understand how you can be so down on almost everyone on that team except Rubio, he is a liability on offense, at least there's a chance LaVine can go off for 30, something Rubio hasn't done in 200 games.
What made you think he should be to begin with
LaVine got me question steve alford's decision making at UCLA
homie had LaVine on the bench

Countdown to Armageddon
lolYou would have lost with Rick Rubbish as well, and at least Zach there's the idea of potential there, best we can hope from the basura one is that he shoots 41% next year
