GIVE A TEAM A RING N FEED EM 4 A YEAR, GIVE EM A DYNASTY N FEED EM 4 A LIFETIME: 2021 LAKERS THREAD

[ALonelyDad]

Beating a sh1tty Orlando team by 7 scares you? Durant and Harden had to play 40 mins each to get that win

Orlando is a solid team

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Orlando is a solid team

Yeah, a solid team that we’d beat. Nets bout as scary as a build a bear.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Orlando is a solid team

Orlando was solid when Fultz was playing (6-2)....

not so much w/o him (0-5)

they've been getting raped since Fultz got injured; this nets game was their closest one

They would have lost those games with Fultz, all those teams are better.


Why is it crazy to say that it will be hard to defend a team with 3 great offensive players who you can't double anymore?

 

[Sinnerman]

The Nets were going to be a tough matchup without Harden

With Harden we're still the favorites I think, but AD will need to have a big boy series from beginning to end

 

[ALonelyDad]

obviously beal >>

but seems to make sense.. with orl needing a pg and they seem to be done with ag expiriment..

lakes need size.. ans gordon can play multiple positions

We have no assets to get Beal. I would not trade Kuzma and Schroder for AG. AG does not move the needle enough to swap 2 guys for 1. Oladipo will be on the block in March and Houston will try to get some assets since he is expiring. That might be the most realistic trade

Reason why Nets game was close today, Vucevic a good offensive player dominated. AD will need to be great in that series. Nets have no rim protection yet but they will probably try to get some big

What many people fail to understand is that their offense will not be as potent when you have all 3 (KD, Kyrie and Harden) playing because only Durant can get his off the ball; harden and kyrie being on ball players reducing the usage rates that any combo of just 2 of those players would have, will make them easier to defend.

The lakers just need a Big that can defend the paint at an elite level and stretch the floor. Myles Turner would be that guy but that trade is getting less realistic as the season goes on. If they could flip Kuz for a defense big that would be the best bet.

Any team that wanted him for cheap had a chance in Summer. He is playing his best basketball and probably DPOY so far. I am glad Ainge fukked up, Celtics were getting him for free and Ainge got greedy

 

[Voice of Reason]

Yeah he would have helped the Lakers and Celtics tremendously.



I would honestly give up Trelz and Kuz for him.

 

[HollywoodP]

I dont think we'll see the Nets in the finals. Celtics are the favorites to me.

 

[THE MACHINE]

Sign Dedmon and put a package (Trez/Kuz/THT) package together for LaVine.

Caruso
LaVine
Bron
AD
Dedmon

Schroder
KCP
Morris
Gasol

 

[THE MACHINE]

Wait, Lakers can trade for Jarrett Allen in March right?

They have two great offensive players
