2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

[Bolts]

In 8 games where he's gotten 30+ minutes, Bagley has averaged 21.2PPG, 10.4RPG, 1.8BPG, shooting 62% from the field and 77% from the line.

Magic needs to STFU.



Talks too fucking much.

I dont think there ever was a negotiation from the beginning. I have had real estate agents offering to buy house, but I never responded. So now if they go tell their buyers I didnt negotiate in good faith, that wouldn't be true. My nonresponse should have made it clear that I was saying no. THATS NOT A NEGOTIATION. The only thing the Pelicans may have done at the best was to demand more and waiting for Magic to get the hint that they were not interested

I'm losing hope of the Lakers making the playoffs, and gaining confidence that Luke Walton will be summarily dismissed this summer. I am going to blame it on Injuries and the trade rumors. These players have a big problem

2.5 games out of the 8 seed.

3 games out of the 7 seed.

With 26 game left.

A lot can happen in almost a third of the season to play.

He shoots it better than LBJ AND Russ from the stripe!

Why did he tell the media about Ben Simmons?

Maybe someone caught wind of it?

Otherwise, why would you purposefully link yourself to another Klutch client UNDER CONTRACT with another team?

I love Magic.

But, he is his own worst enemy.

 

[DJ]

I can agree with this.

Sub Lonzo out for Fox and this deal looks completely different.

But.....


Can we all just admit that Kuzma is way better than we gave him credit for?

He may not be a #1.

But, he can be Carmelo-Lite.

Still not enough to headline a Brow trade.

But, that Fucker can play.

Melo on Jenny Craig....

I really liked Bagleys game last year (not so much defense) and if it wasn't for dumbass Grayson Allen I think that team wins a title with him

Van Fleet or Lowry gimp?

Or, just insurance?

I saw something yesterday that said you have 3 open roster spots to fill.

Insurance after losing Delon.

the Lakers hired a first time head coach, an agent who had no experience being a GM, and Magic Johnson, who had no experience being a GM, to run the operations of their franchise.

Think about that.

No where in this organization is there really any experience and it explains a lot of the mistakes they have made.

Can anyone say the Lakers would not be much much better off if they say- hired David Griffin to be the GM and an experienced coach?

And Lonzo

His defense is still a work in progress, but he's getting better.

If Demps traded AD at the deadline.....he would have been fired.

You know who's really happy about this signing? Patrick McCaw, lol.

Signed with the Raptors, they trade half their team which opens up playing time for him, only to get a spot in front of him taken.

Yeah, Warriors hired Steve Kerr(Mark Jackson previously) and Bob Myers, but the biggest component of all of this was they had Jerry West in their front office too. You need at least one adult in the room to make sure things don't get out of hand.

Feels like the Lakers took the exact model, but didn't replicate it fully.

even the Buss daughter, Jeanie, is in her role as head of basketball ops for the first time.

No one the Lakers have in their most important positions have ever done the work of running a franchise before.

that just seems like a strange way to do things if you ask me.
