They are playing for position. Chess not Checkers
If they want to get Kyrie they need to give up AD.
Load management doesnt make sense like Brou said he saw more injuries in this load management era. Also PG13 said load management makes them more weaker.
Im seeing more Skip in Nick everyday. He’s just a young Skip Bayless.
I wouldn't get kyrie. He doesn't equal winning. Look what has happened to his teams since 2016 and that was mostly because of prime lebron. Lakers have a good team bow if lebron can get earthy and they trade Davis . Can't pay a guy that much money if he can't play back to backs and gets hurt all the time. Won't get over 500 sitting him every couple games
Making thatvmich money, if your not injured you play. You get an off season to rest. Your paid millions and millions of dollars to play
When kyrie play wit lebron he’s a champion. Kyrie & AD can win and take the load off each other as well as Bron. Get kyrie
Impact full players should always be ready
What if the Mavs don't pursue Kyrie is more the question. Lol They'd probably rather have Russell (D'lo) or another star for that money with some Defense FA focus..
D'Lo and Vanderbilt for Kyrie Lakers lol. What ya thinkin now??? Would have done it before.
Pursue
"we crushed that segment" haha
Truthfully, from and X's and O's standpoint, they should have been able to beat the lonely Rockets without AD. As a result if they had won, everybody would have applauded management, doctors, and coaches for strategically planning his rest. However, with so much at stake, I'd had felt better if they'd had just played him under minute restrictions instead. But, to set him all together just builds no confident to me in his teammates, coaching staff nor fan in believing they can actually have faith in AD to continue being healthy long enough to help the team really advance.
Sitting AD against the Rockets as a 10th seed is so disrespectful
MJ won with the teams that were GIVEN to him. LeBron is missing the playoffs with teams he hand picks.
Wildes just a funny dude, doesn't come off as mean or annoying. Just funny, his timing is great and overall just makes the show.
He could get hurt walking up the steps 😂
Let's keep it going
He could get injured making a double peanut butter jelly sandwich😂
He could brake his wrist playing ping pong🤣
He could get injured get his hair braided🤣
He could brake a thigh sitting in a recliner🤣
Nick changing his tune on Kyrie. Earlier before the trade he was singing for the Lakers to pick up Kyrie 🤦♂️ smh
They need to trade AD he's to soft and not a franchise leader!!!!
Anthony Davis not serious about basketball anymore
If Lakers drop 4-5 games. Lebron won't be back.
Does load management actually work? I don't think so. They need to look at the trainers a lot of these players are wearing.
Yea why don’t teams just do minutes restriction on guys they want to manage
Definitely the best sports show out. I like Shannon on undisputed but I’m not getting tired of skip unfortunately
This show is underrated.. combined they are actually a funny trio
just wanna say keep this crew as long as possible please! Nick and Wildes comedic timing together is unmatched as well as broussard as the perfect foil for Nick. Love the show guys <3
I stand with Rob Parker! The Lakers…. Are championship fraaaaaauds
Weakest era EVER….. young fans are soft too
I like AD, but I will trade AD for kyrie. They both injury prone. But I trust kyrie more than AD. Kyrie with all his shenanigans you can trust him every game mamba mentality. But with AD every 2 games being monster, he disappear and soft for 2 games then L.manage. Cycle routine.
If AD can't play back to back games then he's just useless to the Lakers hopes of getting another championship. You might as well play him in the second unit coming off the bench or trade him and get him out of LA, Just saying 🤗
