Hawks should have never done that trade
and Luke Walton is about to get fired....
Official NBA 2018-2019 Thread - the end of the regular season is near
and Luke Walton is about to get fired....
We gotta do what we gotta do Kuz. He's the piece we need to keep above all else.
He's shot will get there. Steph is small and nor athletic but he gets to anywhere on the floor with his handles. Trae can make his mistakes this year. Shoot all the 35 foot 3's he wants. Its a learning process. Most importantly they're looking for the prize at the end day and that prize is a chance at Zion or Rj Barret.
That fool is still unsigned?
Steph has two or three inches on Trae
People like to compare Steph to players as if Steph isn't a freak like KD or Lebron.
People need to stop.
Just like Ingram, well he's skinny with long arms and has some handle...he's KD.
What's the learning process for someone shooting 25%?
We gonna get AD???
Nobody wants to play for or help the Lakers.
Shot selection and reading the defense.
Not true I hope. Sacrificing their play style for LeBron may be more so the issue.
They still could have been looking for that prize with Luca
Trae is not gonna be nowhere near Steph; he doesnt handle the ball close to Steph handles and his shot is far from Steph; they got the wrong guy but that seems to happen a lot with Atlanta sports/teams....
Queen T to Lebron "We sick boss?"
Anyway, more growing pains, it will get better.

Not saying he's gonna be Steph. Last I checked he was averaging 15 and 7 with just shy under 4 turnovers & around 30 min a game. Ball handling can be improved in the off season. Right now he's the "tank commander". I expect him to be a solid point guard in the league. Rather that translate to being an all-star or at worst a 6th man.They still could have been looking for that prize with Luca
Yeah that crakkka done. Lakers mad average and I don't think time to gel is gonna fix that.Hawks should have never done that trade
WhoreSinister white woman worshipper, no Zuback nut riding today huh?
Entroponegro comes off blacker than your white washed ass sometimes.
He should demand another trade lmaoo

It's too early to write that kid off, he just turned 20 playing against grown men. I say give him a couple more years.
I agree, Steph is a freak not really physically but just an anomaly of a shooter we've never seen before.
A solid player at the 3 pick in the draft isn't good drafting. An organization needs at least a star at that position! I don't know what he's gonna turn out to be. But he's no Steph and I think Luca will be the better player. And I don't think it will be close....
A bunch of players don't turn out in comparison to their draft position. I'm just saying Young will be fine. Luca will probably be the better player going forward as he is now. I was just making a case to not call Trae a bust so soon.
Obviously this is Lavar trying keep his kid from ending up being included in a trade and I can understand that and really have no issue with it.
But I'll say this, Gayle Benson's advisors better advise her to make it a point to not bring the Ball family to New Orleans, do not include him any potential trades that you do with Lakers.
Eric Gordon never wanted to be here and his poor attitude turned a lot of people off. The last thing this franchise needs as it begins to head into a rebuild is a kid who openly does not want to be here and has his very visible father along with him.
Yes. The type of shooter that has incredible handles. Vision. The ability to get his shot off the dribble from anywhere or shoot off of off the ball action who can finish great at the rim so you can't crowd him and can also make the right play
I'm not calling him a bust by any means. I just think the hawks fucked up with the trade. I think Luca will be the best player from that draft. I think that's what the hawks needed. Not a serviceable player. Serviceable players don't turn a franchise around .....
Nobody thought Luca was gonna be this good including you so I can't blame the Hawks for that. It's just too early to define if they were right or wrong. Too early to define Young as serviceable.
Bottom line on the Lakers is this...........they are a good team, not great. Time may not change that. Media and fans expect more from this team than what they are. Other teams don't give a fuck about the Lakers or their history. Nobody's kissing their asses or helping them get better. A massive trade could very well make them worse. I'm tired of hearing about these niggas.
an above Average team, not a good team. Denver is a good team; Toronto is a good team; I wouldnt call them a good team just yet...Bottom line on the Lakers is this...........they are a good team, not great. Time may not change that.

I thought Luca would be the best player in this draft; I didnt know how soon or fast he would develop but I thought he would eventually be good; I never thought Trae would be a good/great player; I thought he would be serviceable; and serviceable doesnt deserve a top 5 or 10 pick; so I do blame the Hawks for that; just like a blame the sixers for getting fultz instead of tatum; but hey he could turn out to be better than serviceable thoughNobody thought Luca was gonna be this good including you so I can't blame the Hawks for that. It's just too early to define if they were right or wrong. Too early to define Young as serviceable.

Tell em' how you really feel then Jack
Sick of hearing about these niggas. Milwaukee and Toronto out there doing their thing, Nets much improved, Nuggets out here ballin', Kings playin' much better and all we have to hear is what's wrong with the Lakers. Fuck dem niggas.Tell em' how you really feel then Jack
Well if you thought that Luca was the man then my bad. You were right. You need to play the Powerball.I thought Luca would be the best player in this draft; I didnt know how soon or fast he would develop but I thought he would eventually be good; I never thought Trae would be a good/great player; I thought he would be serviceable; and serviceable doesnt deserve a top 5 or 10 pick; so I do blame the Hawks for that; just like a blame the sixers for getting fultz instead of tatum; but hey he could turn out to be better than serviceable though
The reality is who knows how these guys are gonna turn out. There's no guarantees in the draft. Fultz shows potential with his ability to get to the basket but Tatum is a beast. Who knows how good Flutz can be. Only time will tell. Were quick to want to define these rookies and were not even halfway through the season. 
I'm a Laker fan and if you look hard enough you can probably find a post of me saying how I rather keep out young core instead of signing Bron. The Lakers tried to curve expectations on the season early on but no one expected the Rockets to just fall the fuck off. Now the West is wide open behind GSW and Bron ain't getting any younger, so if there's a slight crack that they can pull off a AD trade or GSW have an injury then they gonna try their hand.Bottom line on the Lakers is this...........they are a good team, not great.
