Yeah I mean he's streaky as hell but why not develop him and let him play through it, what is there to lose? The hornets are already trash lol
Because they were trying to win games. It’s only now he’s even seeing the PT he had earlier because they are out of it.

They watch more than others, that’s why they have that opinion, they’ve soured because of how bad the team have been with all this perceived talent
Lol no reasoning or explanation could justify that opinion. I never listened to them but I heard they were pretty clueless. Now I see why.

So depending on how Philly and Cleveland [and Portland] finish out, the East could end up with more 50 win teams than the west this year :ehh:

Overall Philly is the team I'm most excited for in the East to watch in these playoffs. Refreshing new team to see in the mix

I guess it's hindsight but I don't know what made them think they would be successful this season where it would be worth not getting malik reps. Coach was probably worried about his job as well. Seems like he place is always going to be a dumpster fire

Any Fantasy Basketball heads in here that wants to help out, please do.

I get to keep 3 players heading into next year. Harden is my guarantee. I need two out of these 5, who do y'all seeing being better next year and the next few?

CP3
LaVine
Fultz
Brandon Ingram
Saric

My original plan was CP3 and LaVine. But Saric has been playing really well the past 3 months and he plays both SF/PF so some positional flexibility and CP3 is getting older and missing more games. Ingram and Fultz are both on the Free Agent list and I'm intrigued by both. I think I like Ingram more heading into next year with Simmons handling most of the PG duties for the 76ers it's an interesting choice :jbhmm:

Ingram has by far the highest potential out of the 5 for the next few years because of his rate of improvement and he's set to be a major piece for the Lakers. He runs point/can rebound/should add 3's hopefully next year/etc.

I'd also go with Fultz over Lavine. I think Lavine's role will be reduced as they add more young talent, not increase. Fultz does have to contend with Embiid/Simmons though so he might not be that great of a keeper either.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Bottom line..randle finsihing 70% at the rim. You said his length would be an issue, you were wrong. Said he couldnt defend..wrong. just admit you were wrong. What does the team being 1-8 have to do with anything?. Thats how I know you are grasping for straws. The team was injured and is composed of young dudes, but you just look at stats so you dont have context to back up your bad argument. Its sad you have to wait weeks to post a rebuttal cause randle is so consistent offensively. Foot on your neck and you know it.

I never said brook spacing wasnt effective. I said you are overrating it because you refuse to give credit to randle for pride purposes. Randle is effective period. Most Laker fans have seen dude be effective in any situation and thus the praise. If you just look at stats you come up with these opinions. Men lie, women lie, numbers dont.


:mjgrin:

Check mate.



Your posts are the epitome of the Juelz gif, here's exactly what you said -

What floor spacing center do the warriors have?..all of their bigs have been non-threats shooting wise and they are doing just fine.

So, if record now doesn't matter why were you using the Warriors as an example when you tried to diminish the effect of floor spacers, nevermind the fact the Warriors had 4 spacers on the floor with their C? :mjlol: You brought up the Warriors clearly linking team success, now you on that :whoa: shyt when team success is brought up and pointed out that when it's Julius without a floor spacer the Lakers are 1-8. My point about Julius had always been he was a non-impact player, I even pointed out his numbers in wins and losses are damn near identical, and you hit the Juelz.gif on that one as well :dead:
