Luka looks suicidal.

How about a DLo package to Dallas for Luka instead of Kyrie lol?

 

[shopson67]

See, this is exactly why I don’t bet on sports often.

Vuvecic gets ejected and Anthony Davis only has 15 damn pts with 2 min left in the game.

Rookie coach, sigh.

The difference between what it will take to get Luka over Kyrie is immense

 

[shopson67]

Why was Vando not GLUED to Lavine?

I don’t understand your Coach’s logic sometimes.

Logic doesn't seem to apply. Subs for hot shooters, benches AD and Lebron together, doesn't run plays for AD with the starting center ejected...his x's and o's aren't ready for a playoff push.

As is the payoff.

 

[shopson67]

And he is much better than Gabriel

Well, different players. Gabriel is an Energizer bunny that gives every ounce of energy that he has while on the court, but is limited offensively. Rui is the better offensive player.

Well since there is negative payoff for Irving absolutely

Missed a bunch of the game yesterday. Was at the MIL's scoring son-in-law points making lunch for her and a group of her friends. Why did Vuc get run? All I heard was the Lakers announcers saying it wasn't very smart on his part. But they didn't say what he did.

 

[shopson67]

Damn, the owner can't let that happen. He should've been away from the team, family over profession.

 

[shopson67]

Rudy Gobert is so fucking bad.

Like there is no way there has ever been a worse offensive 7 footer in history. The pile of shit cant even stand on his own two feet.

Can only dunk or make the occaisional put back lay up. Zero moves. NO coordination, no hand eye. Cant shoot free throws. Its fucking tragic.

He has always been defense first. Just because someone trades the farm for him doesn't elevate him to a complete player.

Why I wanted an experienced HC.

Like who? The guy they just fired? It's not like there were great options available. Retreads have their own issues anyway.

He needs a strong assistant in his ear. Seems popular with his players and usually has them playing hard, just needs work on the x's and o's.

He did what was most important to him, no reason for him to mention this in the first place. He looks bad.

 

[The Q]

He's getting paid. Lakers can match due to the Arenas provision, just a matter of how much. The biggest impact to the cap would come in year three with a balloon payment if that provision comes into play (depending on the offer).

Does that count as them using the big mle and are they hard capped?

This is an unnecessary complicated rule

 

[fightinfunbags]

Are we ready to say yet that you can’t build a winner around Luka?

 

[thunderc]

Are we ready to say yet that you can’t build a winner around Luka?

Hell no

 

[fightinfunbags]

Hell no

What does that look like then?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

What the Fuck is wrong with Lakers fans?

Come on with this bullshit.

This is out of bounds.

Some of these people need to get a fucking life.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Are we ready to say yet that you can’t build a winner around Luka?

No, too soon.

 

[msgkings322]

Also, how is yelling that the earth is round, abusive?

It's not like the fan was using racial slurs or saying shit about his family.

Kyrie is the one who let everyone know that he thinks the earth is flat...that makes it fair game.

Exactly, being heckled without profanity or going after something off limits (race, family, etc) is part of the job. Kyrie was completely unjustified. What a waste of talent.
