Laker fans is Lebron playing tonight?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yea
And

Even now is Ingram ball Randle kuzma getting u a title

Nope.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Lebron got the Lakers just as many titles as he did with the Cavs.

Stop being a little bitch.

Well, he is a lawyer soooooooooooo...........

 

[Shanemansj13]

Not sure I completely agree...but he's making it harder and harder to disagree.

I heard an interesting take on the LBJ/MJ debate.

Basically, they said that when talking about them, it's a more visceral reaction to MJ. With Lebron, people list the numbers he puts up. With MJ they just shake their heads and say things like "Man, he just killed people".

Hard to overcome a visceral reaction.

Not that I disagree, I think MJ is GOAT but Lebron will be GOAT.
My problem with that opinion is they totally ignore MJ losing season after season before Scottie. Lebron faced arguably the greatest ever for 4-5 years straight. I think it ultimately comes down to 6-0 and people will ignore everything else. If Lebron somehow gets another 2 titles..I think it will be like Brady getting his 5th like Montana (of course he ended up with more). Shit, even one more title would be ridiculous at his age

 

[DJ Fieri]

The ultimate Lebron nuthugger when he was with the Cavs, then as soon as he moved to LA he was 'washed'

Remember when he claimed Baker Mayfield would leave a bigger legacy in Cleveland than Lebron would

I have brought this up several times......LOL.

It all has to do with different eras too.

I mean Wilt averaged fucking 50 with 20 rebounds for a season and he doesn't make most people top 5!!!

MJ has more titles, Lebron won titles (and FMVP) with three different teams

 

[trojanfan12]

I don't think Russ is the big issue this year though.

But yea if you can get that depth for Russ and some picks you do it.

He actually still is.

He is $47 million in cap space that can't be used late in games.

During the time AD was out the Lakers lost at least 4 games that were directly attributable to Russ fucking up.

Definitely truth in that. Obviously they both have crazy numbers, they aren’t in the discussion if they didn’t. In the end for someone like me who saw them both completely is in their prime who was greater? The word applies to both of them, but what I saw with my eyes is it for me. Greatness.

and I'm with you...Okoro certainly not close to untouchable but way he's playing I'm not dealing him for williams.

Granted, cannot expect the kid to shoot just under 60% overall and over 50% like he has for the last month for the rest of the year......but around 50 and 40 would be huge for this team with his D.

yah- I do not want to trade Okoro unless its a clear upgrade.

He still has potential- only 22, can play D.....

a lot of guys shots dont come around early in their careers. Ithinki t would be a mistake to give up on him----having said that-I can see the Cavs trade him.


What deal I hope for now?

send Love to Charlotte for Hayward. Would be perfect. Charlotte gets cap relief and not paying Hayward's last year- Cavs get a 3 that can play.

Laker fans is Lebron playing tonight?

Who?

What Laker fans said about Lonzo for $500, Alex.

 

[bksballer89]

Laker fans is Lebron playing tonight?

Yep

 

[bksballer89]

Who get the 3 spots?

 

[bksballer89]

Im going with Harden, Fox, and Gordon

 

[Shanemansj13]

I feel the same. I think that duo is just fine but Kyrie might not be around next season

 

[Shanemansj13]

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Well, he is a lawyer soooooooooooo...........

Shit, is he still claiming that?

 

[thunderc]

Yep

I think he and Shai are both daily plays then

 

[thunderc]

Im going with Harden, Fox, and Gordon

Let’s put a harden last just because

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Fair enough

You guys would Def be better off with Kuz, KCP and Caruso
