So him not putting any effort in to defense is also cool?

and him launching 30 foot jumpers?

Shit dont look good on defense but the reality is he has a heavy load and he asks that they cover his ass on defense. He picks it up in the 4th but maintains a heavy usage rate. And hes efficient as shit so i dont have a issue with the deep 3's overall. The guy is giving you 30, 10, 10 since he returned. They were 6-18 without him. Maybe they should follow his lead, no?

and that's where what you said about Ingram, he puts up numbers, because he's Lebron. But his game has declined a lot and he holds the ball, takes bad shots and half way plays defense.

They also have been without Lonzo, who is one of the main reasons the defense has slipped.

What was their record with Lebron and without him (pre injury)?

 

[shaddyvillethug]

The NBA will not allow its fucking biggest cash cow to NOT be in the playoffs.

 

[jack walsh13]

What do you mean? The process seems to be working well. Drafting two starts used other assets to bring in quality players via trade now the only thing left is to attract a big name free agent. People may not like what they did but it is working.

He just mad cause the Knicks are a disaster.

 

[Day_Carver]

This lakers team has Lebron aging faster than Obama did his first year in office.

Lakers failures lay at the doorstep of Magic and Pelinka. They have been horrible GMs.

Magic thought Lebron was going to be magic and guide them to the west finals but he forgot Lebron is playing one on one against someone who is undefeated... Father Time. Let’s not forget Lebron been in the league since he was 18 and although injuries may not have been his problems all those games year in and year out take a toll on him.

If you’re into baseball look how fast doc halladay went down when he went to the Phillies his body just wasn’t used to playing all those extra games and it caught up with him.

Father Time is undefeated unless your name is Adrian Peterson

Thats why it made less sense for him to go to LA if he was trying to win in this small window. If Lebron really wanted a ring & to beat GS, LA wouldn't have been his 1st choice.

He was like fuck it, let me see what I can do with these youngins while setting up shop in Hollywood for life after basketball.

He'll be older next year & the Lakers front office don't have a clue on how to construct a roster around him. It's no guarantee they'll get a coveted free agent either.

I agree with all of this. It's no guarantee free agents are gonna wanna come to L.A. and play with James. Don't nobody give a fuck about the Lakers name anymore.

Don’t forget lebrons ego is top notch remember all the im on a vegan diet and have never felt better.

I think when PG stayed in OKC Lebron shed a tear someone in private

You're just loving cac GM's over Magic. You think you know more than Magic?!?

I said this over the summer; there was no reason at all to sign Rondo, Lance, Beasley, etc etc..And I really dont know why they thought they would compete better than what they are now; they were an average team after the signings and they are an average team now; and average isnt going to cut it in the west; maybe in the east but not in the west; They should have just let the young players develop...and if they dont get Kyrie to come, its over next year as well to.....

 

[Day_Carver]

On a serious note either Lebron is hurt still or father time got him in a choke hold. He was getting stopped at the rim and underneath the boards. He has to dunk or they can stop him now and he's making turnovers at the ends of games and not finishing.

At this point the franchise is stuck if they can't get a prime player so Lebron can be the #2 option. If Ingram and Kuzma keep getting better but still deferring to Bron this shit will get beyond ugly.

So they will have to gut everything and have AD, LBJ, and 13 role players.

They arent getting AD; only way he goes to Lakers if he goes as a free agent....

 

[Day_Carver]

I think he’s not 100% yet, mind kinda only because body ain’t there yet.

Crazy part is him and rondo don’t get hurt at the same time, they likely have a first playoff at home, now they gonna be able to read very early and bron gonna be able to film episodes of the show often....

Nah I dont believe that; they had played an easy schedule up unto that point; and the thing is, every top team in the west has had some sort of major injury to deal with; Lakers are just an average team pimp...they better hope they get more help this offseason....

 

[Day_Carver]

One would think so but it looks like its a wrap this year buddy......things can change though

Snoop trying to get everybody fired.

Beasley never played, lance seems like a 7th or 8th role player

So those two don’t hinder the growth of the youth....

Rondo was a must if you trying to win and teach a pg how to be a pro and perform at the highest level.

Shit they have to fill out the roster with player that wang to play in LA. They contacted other but they didn’t bit.

I’m all for the youth growing that why I wasn’t thrilled about them going full throttle over AD, if that was in fact true.

Let them cats develop, then sign dude in two years

 

[Mask]

What y’all that ain’t magic adding kembo walker vs kyrie

See if golden state would trade you draymond(or any team with nice post player who have years left), then you’d be able to resign the youth(who you don’t trade) while adding a worthy free agent this


This summer
Add free agent
Trade for player with nice contact

Next year extension to which ever player who’s left on expired rookie deals

I said fuck all those signings. They should have resign randle and offered boogie something better than GS. Let the youngins develop and I'm cool with kcp. And they should have signed a shooter. Wayne Ellington maybe. Go trade for korver for bench. Add another shooter and boom. Solid 8th seed. Now they looking at going fishing and being the laughing stock of the league. ...

 

[Day_Carver]

To be honest, I don't think I wanna fuck with Kyrie either. Something is wrong with dat nigga man.

I agree he ain't right in the head. He's definitely not a leader either. He needs to be on a team that has leaders. But again a lot of these new age cats ain't right upstairs. Hell for all the good shit LeBron has done, i still question hiss antics and BULLSHIT at times....

Who's the best leader in the league?

I think its an interesting question.

We talk so much about leadership, and theres no perfect way to do it, but who's doing it the best?

Great question; I'm not sure that you can pinpoint 1 as the best though

He's gonna say Steph Curry.

 

[AllUniverse17]

Even if we looked at the best few, you come to realize that theres not a ton of leaders out there.

 

[jack walsh13]

No question he's a true piece of shit.

 

[AllUniverse17]

Its kind of funny with the Warriors.

Draymond is the leader and Curry used to be the face, dealing with media and all that, but now the media seem to be on Durant's ass more then Curry. Curry can just chill now.

Curry's always been more media friendly that's why. Durant's just mad all the time now.

Well your complaints are understood but I don’t think they the laughing stock of the league because of the signings or nonsigning(as you say). If they wasn’t in the place they was in before the injuries I’d agree.

They didn’t want to fuck with boogie because of the wait time.

Resigning Randle would’ve squashed the space for this offseason big deal....

They wasn’t focused on outside shooting as much as players with multiple skills(ball handling and play making)


I’m not disagreeing with the need to sign those type, just stating what the route they wanted to go and they did that....

For what they paid KCP they could have had Randle at 9 mil for 2 years. They could have made it work. Plus he would be a trade asset for AD. Magic is just cleaning house for anyone he didn't sign.

Nah fucker, Draymond is a leader; i like how

Laughing stock because they fucked up on the AD trade and non of their signings have worked out; Even McGee didnt fully work until they picked up on T Chandler; Imagine what they would be without Chandler ; Now add to that they about to miss the playoffs and the Clippers make it; And when was the last time LBJ miss the playoffs?? Trust people will be laughing at how the Lakers blundered the James signing; You mean to tell me the Kings are better than the Lakers?? The Lakers with all that veterans helpThe Lakers who added all those ball handlersAll those players built to stop GS even though none of them were stoppers @KingTaharqa about to ....

I give you that, shit is bad now really bad. I think that AD shit made it a horrible place to be around(playing, coaching, training, managing etc) that organization at the time.

I just ain’t gonna look over where they was A few weeks ago. The period wasn’t like the pelicans who started hot at the beginning of the season, injuries came then they fell off. This was bout 20 games ago this team with all those problems u named sat in 4th. If I’m correct only with a few games behind GS or Denver for 1st(probably near 6-8) in the west.

I’m all saying is shit was all good just a few weeks ago

I agree they were there for sure but there was a lot of factors into that; namely a soft schedule; remember all the top teams have dealt with some type of injury; I just think all the stuff has caught up to them; but they still can make it; and that "fucker" wasnt for you; it was for King Bitch...

I know bro we good, your one of the few cats That I have back and forwards with, that don’t produce fuck feelings. Shit I don’t know if King knew it tho

No doubt; People feel like they gotta force their opinion on you; or get all emotional and name calling because you disagree; its all good; I respect ones thought process especially if they drop jewels; I only go after @KingTaharqa because hes a lying faggot....
