2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Can you really imagine Green on the Cavs and Love on the Warriors?

Green having to score 20-23ppg is a recipe for disaster and why he isn't a true max player as a FA.

His value is worth more on the W's than any other team in the League.

See,

This is what people don't get.

The team Draymond is on matters, but not THAT much.

If he were on a bad team he wouldn't ever be asked to score 20 a night because that isn't his skill set. 2016 Draymond could have been the best overall player on a team, but still only averaged like 12 points a game. Not saying that team would be great, but it might not have been terrible if built correctly with other scorers around him.

And any coach who would ask Dray to try and score 20 needs to be Insta-fired. Because that would be really dumb.

I disagree. I know that's not his skillset but he if he were to land a max deal and go somewhere else.....he'd try and score 20-23ppg and do the other things he did on GS.

His ego is just that big that he'd try to be the leading scorer on his new team.

 

[DJ Fieri]

This is false. I don't know of any Lakers fans who have changed their opinion on Lebron.

Posters like myself, @DJ, etc. have said all along that we don't like Lebron or his antics/drama, but would welcome him on the Lakers because he is also an all time great player.

In fact, I have said several times over the years that if Lebron came to the Lakers, I would view in much the same way that I did Kobe. I never liked Kobe, but I was glad he was on the Lakers.That's exactly how I feel about Lebron.

@ChiefsLakers67 never liked Lebron, never wanted him on the Lakers, still didn't want him on the Lakers when they were sitting in the 4 seed and damn sure doesn't want him after the AD debacle.

Yeah, I don't remember making a whole lot of negative comments regarding James.....respected him as a player and wanted him on the Lakers.

Gotta disagree here. He's not that stupid

Yeah I agree. You never heard Draymond complain about shot attempts so I doubt he would try and be something he knows he's not

 

[DJ Fieri]

I miss Craig Sager and Stu Scott......2 of the best at what they did.

Never.

In fact, he always says the exact opposite. He scores when he has to, but is defintely a pass first player offensively.

He wants to get paid, like anybody would, but he also knows who he is as a basketball player.

Yeah, you are way off.

Sure he has an ego. But he isn't foolish enough not to know what he is getting paid to do. Draymond has never cared about scoring. He just wants to win.

 

[Wamu]

precisely! now you are getting it!

You edited my comment. Lame.

 

[trojanfan12]

i mean- "several potential outcomes" - its weak and it isnt a prediction then. its just bullshit

So then, the multiple times you've done it are also bullshit. Right?

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah, just typical l23. Has to make shit up to cover for the fact that 99% of his posts are laughable nonsense.

Lakers are going to tank enough to make sure they get a top 10 pick

Million Dollar Mile. That's why James chose Los Angeles.

Seriously considering taking a special trip to go to Rock n Jenny's on Sunday.

I thought Duh King chose Los Angeles because of the quality hair replacement centers.
