Old Kings, Brittle Bigs, and Sneaky Snitches: The 2022-23 GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers season thread

[Software]

I want no parts of Randle.

A KAT/AD swap is interesting in theory. Both guys are soft, KAT seems like an absolute pain in the ass to be around and definitely isn't a leader, plus he's trash defensively. But he can shoot and can carry an offense, unlike AD. His five year extension doesn't kick in until next season too while AD has 1+1 left on his deal.

Minnesota would have to say fukk it and want to lean in 100% on defense with him and Gobert together.

You know what you might be right because KAT will actually play unlike AD who you never know if he gonna miss a bunch of games.

Just peeped that the hawks don’t have their own pick until like 2028

We know ownership is gonna want guys who can play right now, not picks for the future. Hawks have young enough guys that they can get guys for now that are still in their 20s.

I assume any trade would begin with Capela (would prefer Okongwu) and Collins (those two don't have much value). They'd need to get at least De'Andre Hunter too. Atlanta has guys who can replace him. That would basically fill out their starting lineup.

The biggest question would be what to make of Collins and his finger. His shooting is way down, likely as a result. Is that shyt gonna affect his shooting forever or can he bounce back from it? If he can't recover, I'm out.

He went 4-7 from three last night but he's 26% on the season. Look at this picture from last March.

I'll take AJ Griffin, Hunter and a future unprotected first. Collins is horrendous.

AB!tch like a little lamb out here, like a baby deer or a tadpole or some shyt. shyts sad fr, he could’ve gone down as a legend he got all the skills but none of the intangibles.

Real shyt I didn’t want Kawhi just to be on some spoiler Laker fan shyt. This was what I feared with just going with Bron and Abytch. He’s better suited as a high end 3rd option not as the heir to GOAT franchise.

Abytch is the reason we even had to endure the Russ experience, he’s the reason we might end up on a treadmill of mediocrity with no assets/resources to fix the future, and he’s the reason we go into each of these games with no real hope.

Don’t be shocked if banchero/carter punk a ad tomorrow

 

[GreatestLaker]

Ima be honest; I knew Lebron was shooting around 76% FT this season but I didn't realize his clutch fts were that much higher than AD's, considering AD is an 80%+ ft shooter

If you were actually watching Laker games how would this be a surprise? I was actually shocked that choker made one.

punking AD is not exactly a big feat.

Christian Wood was punking AD until Wenyen came in. Dudes a bytch

 

[GreatestLaker]

I don't remember AD being this soft in New Orleans?

 

[Joe Sixpack]

fukk these nikkas

This is why I laugh at the "die hard fans"

I'm not gonna sit here and take this abuse

When these dumb ass teams do shyt that pisses you the fukk off you look dumb

These nikkas had me legit pissed off last night

Bucks winning the chip anyway

AD is a street walking hoe

He's crumbling under the pressure

This is LA not New Orleans

This is why people keep saying playing with LeBron is hard its because he does his part and dudes like AD fold. Bron is about titles but these other dudes like AD fold under the pressure and are not built for this shyt

@Joe Sixpack isn't even a Laker fan. he's a Lebron fan talking about die hard fan

"Lebron does his part"

yea thank you for the 50 games played Bron

u really put the team on your back

He always was imo, do you ever remember yourself thinking “Gee, those Pelicans are pretty close to contention cuz AD is an absolute factor on the floor!”?

If you really think about it, AD has always been Tyson Chandler with a bag. He can’t do shyt without someone feeding him easy baskets.
