You literally just saw Sabonis bytch out AD head-to-head, and you're trying to act like this is crazy talk?

Sabonis is averaging 20-14-8 this year on 62% shooting and hitting 41% of his threes. You can actually run the offense through him and make teams pay, while AD just hasn't evolved as a facilitator and is pretty much stuck in the finisher role. On defense, Sabonis isn't the rim protector that AD is, but he bodies up other bigs (as we just saw) and is a great team defender who plays a similar role to Lebron in quarterbacking everyone else on defense.

I think Lebron has still been a more impactful player than Sabonis and will be better in the playoffs, but in the context of the regular season Sabonis has been making this Kings team hum, and comparing them as relatively similar is a completely fair conversation. Would you be that surprised to see Sabonis make All-NBA this year, possibly even 2nd-team All-NBA?







AD's lack of offensive leap has hurt the team. He's just far too inconsistent. But with Bron, D-Lo, Reaves, and Rui filling out the lineup, there should be more than enough offensive firepower for AD to do what he does. It's the stupid fukking lineups with multiple zero-offense or black hole players on the court at the same time that have caused AD's lack of consistent offense to hurt them.

AD has played like a fringe top-15 player, and he should be a solid top-10 player. So that's a problem for the Lakers. But it's not nearly their biggest problem. The terrible coaching, the failure to add shooters, and the failure to get a playable big were all bigger issues.

I think the current biggest problem is the backcourt defense. Reaves needs to come off the bench. I would start Christie but I know that’s unlikely.

AD has made gains as a facilitator and playmaker this year. But the problem is the bar was so low there for him.
This is true. I mean he's passable now. Previously he was borderline unwatchable when he was doubled. It was all teams had to do when his shot got going, double AD and he couldn't facilitate

He's better now but not where he should be

This hurts my heart to see, breh :mjcry:


I hate seeing my guys fight. Schroder was my second favorite Laker last year. Sucks to see my guys not getting along, cause it mean we ain't bringing DS back or D'Lo prolly leaving next year.
We as dysfunctional a family as we are here on the Coli :snoop:
