The same center who had more fouls than points and rebounds in the series? The same center who had games where he had 5 fouls in 9 minutes and 2 fouls/1 tech in 4 minutes?

He's not staying on the floor long enough for Luka to throw lobs to him because he'd be fouling out.

Did you even watch how incompetent he was in every game he played? If you're hung up on JJ not playing Hayes more, then isn't it obvious the Lakers were doomed from the start? Do you think the series would've gone any differently if he played more, or would they just get their asses handed to them just the same, if not more?

Yes, I would throw him in there. This is a damn series.

Everybody is going to step up or change through a damn series. Was RUI being RUI in game 1-3? fukk no. He stepped up. :wtf:

Lakers as a whole know they have no true center. Hayes is just a body that is tall and can “possibly” get a rebound. Wolves coach didn’t have to do anything. JJ did it too himself killing his players through G3-G5 :heh:

JJ died on a hill and he accepting right now. I’m sure he will talk about it on his podcast :heh:

Pelinka and Jeanie are obviously making moves to prepare for the post Lebron era. If we were in win immediately mode we would have honored the Mark Williams trade (Zubac traded for Muscalla :mjlol: ). We are not in win now mode. Laker management can give a fukk less about LeBron getting another ring. We are doing things that make sense that set us up for the future with Luka :umad:

We keep Knecht and can possibly flip him for something that isn't damaged goods this off season.

Far be it from me to pocket watch BUT...Bron can't have it both ways. You want your 50 million...fine...but you ain't getting another star to play with AND depth. Not in today's NBA.

What's crazy, in a hypothetical scenario, if Billionaire Bron took the veterans' minimum his entire time with the Lakers, he'd probably have 6 rings.

GOATs like Brady took a paycut for the sake of winning. Jordan, who Reinsdorf admittedly would have renegotiated his contract (before the 2nd threepeat), never bytched about not being in the top 20 highest paid players in 13 out of his 15 seasons.

Can't put this all on Pelinka...no GM...no matter how skilled can pull off miracle moves with no money.

And for those saying "take the money" I feel you but if you forego the money, gamble on yourself, and win....you stand to make even more money on the back end.

It's like a hollywood star who doesn't take a lot of money up front in exchange for points, in hopes that the movie is a hit and they can make money off the residuals.
