Ballers Wanna Ball, Rollers Wanna Roll, But We're Taking All--The Official 2017-2018 Lakers Thread

[Reid2Achieve]

Randle is making it very hard for me to get rid of him, dude has just been good off the bench. I hope we can keep him for cheap.

I admit, I’ve been waiting for him to come back down to earth but he’s been fantastic this season. I don’t know if he’s a starter because his lack of outside shooting and size but his as long as he can finish in the paint as well as he’s done and DEFEND like he’s done, he’s shown to be just too valuable to throw away. His switchability on defense is one of the main reasons the D has been great this year.

SOME OF THE FOLKS HERE HAD ME SKEPTICAL, BUT WHEN I SEE HIM DRIVING TO THE PAINT NOWADAYS SHIIT FEELS LIKE AN AUTOMATIC DEUCE .. THE POTENTIAL WAS EVIDENT FROM DAY 1, SOME OF US JUS QUICK TO THROW OUR OWN UNDER THE BUS BEFORE GIVING THEM A CHANCE TO DEVELOP.


LMAO SOME1 HERE EVEN SAID LARRY NANCE WAS AN EQUAL ON OFFENSE.

If I had to choose between Randle and Clarkson....give me clarkson. Randle is who he is a serviceable player.

 

[ALonelyDad]

define cheap? because analytics departments are definitely keeping a close eye on dude. I could see a team like Dallas (his hometown and wife's hometown) swooping in with a STRONG offer if not a max. Id like to keep him is defense is a legit weapon in the clutch.

Not max but not too low..in the middle. If he asks for max, Lakers most likely won't re-sign him. Not a lot of teams have big cap, but I can see a team like Dallas if Dirk retires. I think Randle likes Lakers and wants to be with these guys, not sure.

Clarkson is the one who opens a lot of things up for Randle.

Clarkson has been great too but I think what he brings is replaceable. Randle on the other hand can decently guard 1-5. There’s probably only a handful of guys that can do that.

 

[Cognito]

Before Magic gets rid of Clarkson. Him & Drew Hanlen needs to get him to teach Lonzo how to dribble penetrate & finish like him. Lonzo can posterize 7fters off a oop but once dribbling gets involved he has no bounce. If Clarkson & Lonzo games fused Lake show would be unstoppable.

FOH nikka, name names. I said what I said about them clowns because they on the bench crying.. nikkas get one decent game here and there and I'm supposed to change my mind?

No... One nikka only wants to play to pad his stats for a new contract and the other one only wants to play so he can look good for hoes.

They where they belong... On the bench and hopefully gone if they not trying to play to win or play the style necessary to win

Notice you are the only dude still trying to clown them. And i never said dude deserved the max, but that wont stop team from offering it or close to it. This is a potential league. And stop with the "play to win" narrative. Its holds zero credence. Playing defense the way Randle did last night is the defintion of playing to win. Idk even know why you commenting on the game as you admitted you didnt even watch it.

YOUR HATRED FOR OUR CERTIFIED BALLERS IS UNWARRANTED.. I THINK U JUS HATED ON THEM IN THE PAST AND NOW U JUS DOUBLING DOWN SO U DONT LOOK LIKE U BACKIN OFF FROM YOUR TAKES. ANY1 WHOS WATCHED CLARKSON N RANDLE BALL THIS YEAR N STILL HATES ON EM CLEARLY HAS AN ALTERNATIVE MOTIVE.

They both can definitely play selfishly at times but I think it's crazy to say they aren't playing to win. They've both been busting their ass going hard pretty much every night.

Do you think I give a fukk?

Nothing I said was fictional... You nikkas so satisfied with below mediocre ass nikkas but "as long as they score".

You would think you would be tired of the tanking era of basketball we've had and nikkas that dribble dribble or bumble around in the paint then wonder why they on the bench... But I guess you enjoyed watching that bullshyt for the past 4 years.

Thank God you don't run a team if you willing to give that fool a max or anything close to it. And again, Randles ass is only playing defense because he knows thats the only way he will stay on the floor longer.

Like I said, you fools must really enjoy mediocracy

I have no "alternative" motives other than wanting pouting, crying ass black holes off the fukking team.
