OVERRATED LIKE LEBRON !!!!!
I was hoping his growth was an additional 2 inches like Vando.
Potential Post LBJ LAker Super ⭐️ Stars:
2024/25: LaVine Trade
2025/26: Tatum/Ingram/Spider
I'm ready to move on from Christian Wood being an option. Go after any other option. If he doesn't want to be here, he doesn't want to be here.
So how many open roster spots are left? Players left that would potentially be worth signing would be P.J. Washington, T.J. Warren, Austin Rivers, and Terrence Ross. For a big either Bismack Biyombo or Tristan Thompson. These guys will play mostly just a back role anyway. I don't see any big signings happening really unless Wood gets no other offers. Probably just end up being Hodge and Thompson after waiting forever.
I can pat myself on the back for recognizing what AR was the first time I ever saw him play because I can also confess that it wasn't some kind of educated guess…just a feling. Same goes with Christie. But I will confess I said the exact same about THT and he hasn't exactly become the player I expected
I so want LA to draft and build their next superstar. I just don't want the season required preceding it. And as much faith as I have in the org finding hidden gems I don't have the same confidence in them in early picks
I've always wanted Dame in LA but now that we all KNOW he is going to Miami eventually I'm sick of hearing about him.
Jovan knows his stuff, really enjoyed his takes.
I'm afraid Austin Reeves will not live up to this kind of excessive hype. My forcast is that he will be an elite role player, the swiss army knife that he is. Think of peak Trevor Ariza but better, only smaller and a play maker.
All the non lakers fans also think we overpaid for Reaves and it was just the playoffs he was good. Even tho he’s been good and consistent for 2 years just never had the points behind his consistency
Vando looks like a taller Rick Fox who can go in there an start the game and set the tone. If he can develop more shooting, he could be more, but you can win with Vando starting and giving you 25 minutes a game as a hustle player and lock down defender.
Our "fans" dont realize that theyre putting a huge target on Austin AR15 Reeves jersey…all the teams and players are gonna be going for his head….May the Gods bless him…
What is ur guys infatuation with Bismarck bitongo ? Dude is a 5 pt. 5 rb career player in 12 years !!!!!! Dude sucked everywhere else , he’s gonna be a 2ppg 2rpg player in LA and shrink like a white mans tool during a snow storm. Wtf ? Rather have Dwight or that handsome dude from the mavs that got benched lol. Or give castleton a chance. Gtfoh. Lmao.
Jovan is killing it, you need him on more!
The Super Funky Lakers!
Dlo is a very good player and was an all star so too say AR is better is huge!
Everyone talks about Reaves playoff stats elevating. But no one shows his eye popping WC finals stats: 21.25 ppg; 55% FG; 58% 3pt; 100% FT (15/15); 5.2 APG. All this in the biggest playoff series of the year and first playoffs run of his career. I love this one: Reaves made his last 37 FTs in the playoffs!
There’s Trevor’s favorite man- yovan booha.
DLO gonna come back this season with a vengeance all the shade being thrown at him
He will be an all star. Book it.
we need westbrook with max extension
He was number 2 to Lebron arguably the best player ever!!That isn’t hard. Not sure why no one ever considers that context. He was unbelievable offensively in New Orleans and they just didn’t have enough around him or Bougie was always hurt. Even when Lebron was out for extended periods of time AD did carry the scoring load and got the team into the playoffs. Did we forget about that?
Ain’t no way I’m starting Rui at PF while Lebron plays SF….he cannot guard perimeter players for a full season. You start Vando
💪Ace
Austin can be our Mike Bibby. An efficient shooter and overall better player because of defense. We shall see.
Need a good center
