You are older than I thought, TurnUp. Had you pegged for early 30's...

58 FML whatevers left of it

You do get that we're talking about an end of the bench guy who'd likely be on a vet min contract and not a 6th man, right?

Lebron is the new pg. Why have 4 other pgs on the roster?

barely getting started...

it's only a number anyhow...

It's cooked to order beef patties (not the greatest quality) On top is salami and comes with italian dressing. Delicious.

Wow....gotta visit Ohio....can't believe I just said that....LOL.

 

[trojanfan12]

seriously? lol Korver can barely even move anymore...

nah, i'd take Livingston over Korver every time...

To be fair to @bksballer89 point, Korver can still shoot it. Guys who can shoot can always shoot. Heck, Reggie Miller could probably come out of retirement and hit a couple of 3's here and there.

For an end of the bench guy, I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

I was being kinda fair lol...

it comes down to what we need more and I was thinking defense...

imo we have enough shooters. no need to go crazy with it...

Roman Burger is an epic sandwhich.

To help limit Lebron's minutes so he's rested and healthy for the playoffs.

 

[dtgold88]

I know enough about him that he can't defend...

but thanks for passing along the advice...

But that's not what you said. You seemed to think all he does is stand in the corner and the guy moves around on O far more than most.

Am gonna try not to go back and forth to convince guys to admit their logic was wrong or off base knowing that kind of mea culpa is not in their DNA.

His D? Certainly not the best, but unlike many he will at least try and is a smart defender who knows what to do.....and Liv can't defend either, nor can he shoot nearly as well as Korver.

Rondo and caruso/cook can do that

 

[Shanemansj13]

LAkers needs a point guard that can actually bring the ball up and start some offense, get out on the break a little bit.......someone that can push the tempo a little bit.

maybe Caruso can be that guy i dont know.

I think Rondo is replacement level at this point though. Id have purged the roster of Rondo and McGee and moved on to anyone else who had a pulse.

Wasn't a fan of the Rondo signing but they got him for the minimum. I would play Cook and possibly Caruso over him, don't know a ton about Caruso though.

 

[dtgold88]

Wow....gotta visit Ohio....can't believe I just said that....LOL.

Make sure you get a Chick-Fil-A, too, if they don't have them where you are......and bring some El Pollo Loco with you.

never said he could shoot as well as Korver. haveseen plenty of Livingston and he DOES give defensive effort. plus he's younger...

i'll go with that...

 

[Shanemansj13]

Just say you've never watched Korver instead of proving you are clueless. "stand in the corner"?

He might not be a good defender but the effort is there 110% he makes his guy work. He got plenty of steals in the playoffs, he always hustles. On offense, he doesn't move as much as he used to but he is a shooter so he will either be standing in the corner or running around screens. Used to a lot more back in the day though.

Livingston or Korver aren't great options at this point, but there isn't much to choose from. I would rather have a shooter all day especially since Livingston didn't look good in the playoffs

Yeah, I'm just not sure it really matters when we're talking about end of the bench guys.

Assuming 8-10 minutes or so per game, Livingston can do more as far as running an offense, playing a little defense, etc.

But, if Korver gets hot from 3, he could have more effect on an individual game.

still think KK can be more than an end-of-the-bench guy. And we know he plays well with Lebron.....but I think he goes to Philly.

yeah, I guess you guys have got me because it's really a matter of miniscule minutes either way we'd go between the 2...

so i'll say it's not worth splitting hairs over...
