Random NBA Observations 2020 - 2021

[Flex Luger]

It's really funny thinking about how impatient the Lakers organization and fans are when it comes to their draft prospects. It worked out for them in the end, but D'angelo Russell and Ingram both became all-stars. Imagine one of them on this stacked Laker's squad right now.

They valued Kuzma more than Ingram just based on a couple hot games rather than looking at the whole package.

Why do folks keep saying the Lakers valued Kuz more then Ingram? It’s not true at all

 

[Guess Who]

Lamelo changes the play of the whole team. Flynn is just another Raptors guard

This is a casual opinion. Flynn has been the best player on the floor in both preseason games against Charlotte.

Why the Lakers Made Kyle Kuzma Untouchable in the Anthony Davis Trade
Why Kyle Kuzma Is the Last Lakers Youngster Standing
Kobe Bryant explains why he thinks the Lakers made Kyle Kuzma untouchable this summer


Everywhere reported that Kuz was untouchable in any deal. Disregarding Pels trade with AD, when the Spurs were shopping Kawhi, Kuz was untouchable in those trades also.

Of course the Lakers wanted to keep at least one young guy. That’s the only reason Kuz was labeled “untouchable”. If they wanted a superstar like AD Ingram HAD to be apart of any deal. Common sense. Don’t take that as the Lakers valued Kuz more then Ingram. I’m pretty sure if they could’ve kept Ingram and used Kuz instead in the trade they would have. Nobody in the league values Kuz more then Ingram.

Ya gonna have to stop calling Lamelo “melo”. Only one melo in the league and thats carmelo.

He hasn’t reached one name status.

Everyone knows ingram Is better than kuz. Before or after the ad trade. The deal doesn't get done without ingram.. but kuz was chosen cause his contract year came after ingram's...

 

[Family Lives Matter]

My guy Ingram finna make all Star game in a stacked west.

Book it

 

[Premeditated]

Donte Exum still in the league?

thought he's be in China or Australia by now

 

[The axe murderer]

 

[Adebisi_Said]

No thanks

 

[CarltonJunior]

Al was a beast on the Celtics, probably would be a beast there now, just no one wants to touch his contract. He made a big mistake basketball-wise by leaving, but financially it was the right decision because they were going to extend him for that kind of money.

I would go as far as to say Al was the player they needed against Miami. Not saying they would have beat them 100% but he was who they needed. Bam I think wouldve been negated a lot defensively and offensively.

 

[BXKingPin82]

I cant believe im saying this, but after last season, im not really amped like that for this one.

 

[Nero Christ]

Mavs and Bucks starters look like shyt early on in both games thus far.

it might be a long season for the Bucks

not saying they'll miss the playoffs or won't have a lot of wins...they're system ensures that, but they're worse this year & badly fukked up not getting Bogdan

they still don't have dynamic playmakers & shot creators outside of Giannis

I also think their 3pt shooting will take a hit this year too

 

[Serious]

@42 Monks LaMelo Ball is so fun to watch

The rest of the team looks great as well. Just need a center and to get rid of Gordan. He's not needed with LaMelo there.
