How can they play better when they've been unsure of where they'd even be living their life for the past 3 weeks

Worry about job security and uprooting yourself for 3 weeks and see if your work performance suffers

Mine would

Their careers didnt start 2 weeks ago man.

Im sympathetic to this unsure period in their lives. I didnt shit on them for laying down against the Pacers.

Kuzma and Hart I know what Im getting every night. BI and Lonzo dont seem interested in NBA ball half the time. They should be the hungriest players in this league.

Lonzo been good all year
He controls the pace of the game excellently and gets everyone easy shots

Ingram plays the same position as LeBron LeBron and Ingram on the court together doesn't work when LeBron was out Ingram balled
You choose LeBron over Ingram
But Ingram isn't bad he just not a good fit with where the Lakers are going

None of those guys are bad players.

Thats the point.

They are good players who arent hungry enough.

Kuzma and Hart have less talent then the other two but play with more heart every night. That matters to me.

I understand not wanting Lebron but why are the kids not playing better?

Did I ever say I don't want Lebron? What I don't want is gutting the roster and draft picks for a dude that will be 35 next year and just missed 6 weeks. The fact that the Lakers are trying to do this on the rush and are getting Danny Ainged in the process.

Gut the squad and next year we will take on more shit contracts next February. It's the cycle. If Lebron was 29 30 and was getting AD That's a smart move.

That Steve Nash shit, Lou awww Dang and Timofey Mass garbage deals fucked the team for years.

I completely disagree
Ball played with heart
Ingram can't even see the floor if LeBron is in lol

Just cause those other 2 cats be hogging at times doesn't mean they're playing with more heart

Ingram averages more minutes then Kuzma.

I know Lebron missed alot of games but your argument doesnt hold water based on that fact alone.

Im on record saying Magic is completely crazy if he makes that deal. Its dumb. I like the Lakers players, i see potential but at the same time i see underachieving.

That said, those are Lebron's last 4 years. How do you maximize them?

Don't act like a spoiled Diva and get KL to join you as well as a cat like Klay or the kid from the Hornets.

Watch we end up with Bradley and another mid level talent.

I have the feeling that Jerry West is going to work his magic and I have to listen to 213 talk shit for the next 5 years.

Raptors, 76ers, and Bucks are serious about winning the East. All made good deals and upgraded. The Celtics looking like they gonna wait for the summer.

Remember when Jerry West turned Pau Gasol into Marc Gasol and Kwame Brown and everyone laughed? 10 years later who's the better Gasol bro?

You don't fuck with Jerry

Lonzo and BI wildly inconsistent man. Zo is a starting PG that you literally have to bench in clutch minutes and Ingram is prone to disappear entire games.

Cats went 6-12 and sunk to 11th place without Bron.

That being said, NO a fool for not taking all that shit Magic offered.
