Exactly what I thought. You’re just some feminine little boy in his feelings, not someone who actually understands the game to have a perspective that needs to be taken seriously. I won’t even entertain your little fake straw man arguments. “Lebron won’t even let Lonzo bring the ball uphow dare lebron change the way he plays for the betterment of his teambron uproots whole franchises but won’t let Lonzo bring the ball up the floor
Lonzo is useless on offence most possessions with lebron on, imagine how dynamic they could be with 2 capable playmakers
Understandable, but we have no issue with Ray Allen and tbh most shouldn’t have with Kyrie. It sucks but I still follow him. When you have JR smith moments or George hill missing the free throw moments and TBH Kyle korver gets a pass because he was consistent asf. He deserves it (even if he bricks everything in the finals which is true). Honestly most Bron stan opinion are based on atleast SOME facts. Honestly we are proven right everytime he doesn’t play (especially for the Cavs). We would’ve loved Lamar Odom/artest level dudes for role players. Lebron has few role players GOOD enough for these moments which is why they get the hate. JR smith was that kinda dude but fell out his prime in 2017. It has nothing to do with attachment to the team or not. It’s just the same disgust you feel for kwame/smush is what we feel for all the trash for most of his role players and rightfully so.We have great moments of Kobe's role players because we're Lakers fans. We're attached to the team which leads us to become fans of even the role players. You guys are attached to one man which explains the hate for all his role players, along with the hate everyone and everything else I mentioned which you ignored.
Also, Sasha hit two clutch FTs in Game 7. Laker fans are cool with him
Essentially no one was good enough to be attatched to but on this lakers team I already got some love for kuz then Zo and I like hart.
It is deluded. You should thanks the heavens your front office is not . They knew that the team's ceiling was 40 wins tops.
And you can make the argument that Kuz is the only one who has really improved..so I'm not sure where the jump in wins were suppose to come from..

Countdown to Armageddon
Kevin Love said he wanted to play with Lebron the rest of his career.

Kuzma is the same player he was last year really. He was a good spot up shooter and cutter last year. Thats just been elevated with Bron being here.
Zo and Ingram are players that are best with the ball in their hands. That doesnt work well with Bron ball

Nobody wants Kevin Love anymore. The game has passed him by...

Has Ingram improved at the rate you thought he would have?
Even with the ball in his hands I don't see him making enough plays for anyone and he's not this great iso player either...
What's your thoughts??

I wasnt high on Ingram his rookie year. But last year he was good to great for his experience and I thought this year would be the year for him to take a leap. When Bron signed on that changed though
He was great last year as a point forward so he can make plays for himself and others. And I dont know what you've seen but I think he definitely has a good handle and is good at attacking the rim with a good midrange shot as well. From what I see the problem is that he's a rhythm player. And with a player like Bron who hasnt played in a real offensive system since Miami (if that even), its hard to maintain a rhythm with if you're not a high level iso player or good spot up shooter. I thought LA should have kept building up the young core instead of selling out for 4 years of Bron ball that probably wont bring in a championship. But business wise you cant turn down a player of Lebrons caliber so I get why they did it.
Kuzma was still ballin’ without Bron, to a higher level than last year.
Did YOU see the last two games breh? What about what the young guys did makes you think they need LeBron to scale BACK??
If you’re more interested in the young dudes getting their shine than actually winning games and competing then what you’re saying makes sense I guess.
Yes it is.They weren't a playoff team LAST YEAR.....with INJURIES. They had 35 wins (+9 from the previous season) and without injuries would've easily had 42-45. They bring back the same team from last year and everyone is improved it's not deluded to think they could get to 48-50 wins. We've already seen Kuzma ball the fukk out and we've seen what Zo can do when he's running the offense. Randle is averaging 19 and 9 right now in NO. Would've used Bron's money to add other pieces. Team currently with Bron is a top 4 team, without bron + randle and lopez staying they are a 6-8 seed.
If they could improve by 9 wins just by adding Lopez, Kuzma, Hart, and 52 games of Zo, how could they not improve by 12-15 wins by having a fully healthy team + all the young players are a year better/more experienced
