Dwight wants it back with the lakers

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Kobe gotta warn Lebron

Didn’t Kobe just say that about Lebron

“LeBron has three rings. He’s been to more Finals than any player in modern times. But he’s 3-6 after this series. Does that matter to his legacy?

Kobe Bryant: “All I thought about as a kid personally was winning championships. That’s all I cared about. That’s how I valued Michael. That’s how I valued [Larry] Bird. That’s how I valued Magic [Johnson]. It was just winning championships. Now, everybody’s going to value things differently, which is fine. I’m just telling you how I value mine.

“If I’m Bron, you got to figure out a way to win. It’s not about narrative. You want to win championships, you just gotta figure it out.”

How should we weigh a star’s supporting cast? Does LeBron get credit for carrying Jordan Clarkson and JR Smith this far, or penalized for losing with them? We saw how the role players blew Game 1 of the series.

Bryant: “Michael gave me some really good advice after the ’08 Finals: ‘You got all the tools. You gotta figure out how to get these guys to that next level to win that championship.’ Going into the 2010 series, I said, ‘Listen, Boston, they got Ray Allen, they got Paul Pierce, they got [Kevin] Garnett, they got Sheed [Wallace], the talent is there. They’re stacked.’ That was the first superteam. [Michael] kind of heard me lament about it, and he just goes, ‘Yeah, well, it is what it is; you gotta figure it out. There’s no other alternative.’ And that’s the challenge LeBron has. You have pieces that you have to try to figure out how to work with. Excuses don’t work right now. …

“It has everything to do with how you build the team, from an emotional level. How do you motivate them? … Leadership is not making guys better by just throwing them the ball. That’s not what it is. It’s about the influence that you have on them to reach their full potential. And some of it’s not pretty. Some of it’s challenging, some of it’s confrontational. Some of it’s pat on the back. But it’s finding that balance, so now when you show up to play a Golden State or a Boston, your guys feel like you have the confidence to take on more.”

How soon we forget

Lakers Rumors: Dwight Howard Interested in Playing with LeBron James





fukking off season

I tried to tell nikkas a week back:

 

[THE MACHINE]

Of course he do..

He knows the pressure and focus will be all on LeBron and he doesn't have to worried about the L.A.Times and the rest of the media ripping him apart like before..

He's like Paul George and a ton of other players..they can't handle being the man, taking the insults in major markets like LeBron can

nikka I rather keep deng on the roster

easy breh, easy

 

[Guile]

If Deng was half the player he was in Chicago he would be getting minutes. People forget how terrible he was.

 

[G-Zeus]

they fukked up.. need to pack two second rounders and trade him.

 

[NormanConnors]

Yeah Dwight usually out plays Cousins. I'd make that move if I was Magic. Cousins is a bit overrated anyway, he's subpar defensively and falls in love with his jumper too much. Breh is like a career 45% shooter at 7 ft.

 

[Leonard Washington]

The move actually makes sense

 

[The God Poster]

Poor Bron. If we get Dwight, I'll be okay with it because he's still really good. However, I'll feel sorry for Bron, the frustration of overcoming the egos of Rondo, Lance, Dwight and Lavar Ball.

With that said, our squad will be real good.

[Wacky D]

That's fukked up. Leaving LA the way he did, and having the nerve to come crawling back.

he didn't leave LA.

he left kobe.

That 1950s spacing

 

[str8up]

they fukked up.. need to pack two second rounders and trade him.

If it were that easy he'd be gone already.

 

[G-Zeus]

If it were that easy he'd be gone already.

it becomes easier when all trade is done.. when people needs asset for future trades and stuff

 

[GoldenGlove]

Wow... that shooting potential

 

[str8up]

it becomes easier when all trade is done.. when people needs asset for future trades and stuff

Even for someone like Wilson Chandler, the Nuggets would have to give up a 1st to get rid of him.
