It's Time To Hate The Lakers Again

[tc1]

Nah. They wanted another shooter and to dump Beasley’s contract. You don’t get to play arm chair QB like that.

They barely even played Muscala. He racked up a total of 265 minutes as a Laker. Then he left for Oklahoma, leaving space for Davis both physically and financially, exactly as I already explained to you.

It isn’t that LeBron can’t play with Ball. Ball couldn’t play with LeBron.

He was the worst shooter in the league his first 2 seasons.

Now look up what Ball shot in the season that we are discussing. 37.5% from the arc. While adding 7 assists and 6 rebounds. Absolutely playable next to almost anyone, but certainly James. That's basically 2025 Reaves with vastly better defense.

You have to be kidding me with your nonsense.

And Ingram was able to earn the MIP award and his lone all star bid that year because he moved out of LeBron’s shadow and played on a bad Pelicans team. He doesn’t likely get there in LA.

As I said, the Lakers did not need him to win awards, just to play like he was capable of. This is not hard to understand, at all.

Sorry.

You should be. Try harder, and do better next time.

(1) I asked you if you thought what you say is always correct. That was your answer.

That statement is completely different from claiming that I "know everything".

What I do not do, is comment on topics where I do not know the answer. For example, if the topic here was "Who were the 3 best passers on the '56 Hawks?" I would not comment, because I do not know the answer.

But when I do make a remark, I am sure that I am correct ( except with respect to speculating about what might happen in the future ).

This is really, really not hard material to understand, if one has a basic grounding in the English language.

Just acquired a Williams but not Robert or Grant or even a bigger one Williams Tennis players or Mitch or Ted but Nark from Hornets.

I [ edit: really like] that trade. Did not think Mark Williams was obtainable, and they didn't have to give up Reaves.

I was expecting something like Knecht for Day'Ron Sharpe.

edit: It was expensive...

Do they need to trade Vincent and do they make a over night trade,

Are they lacking basketballs? I don't think you can trade Vincent for anything except sporting equipment.

Don't need to unless a solid opportunity is out there.

I would like to see them dump Kleber's contract with their remaining 2nd to get under the 1st apron and open a second roster spot. Key for the buyout market. If not that, maybe still consider a trade for Sharpe from the Nets for depth at center (Wood/Hayes/2nd?)

He's not a giveaway player at this point. He's a good not great defender and has been hitting his threes decently of late.

No need. He's a nice back up PG to have and he's on a good deal.

Lots of guys can make a few threes in garbage time, and he's a bad defender and atrocious ball-handler. Watch when the Lakers ( rarely ) allow Vincent to bring the ball up -- he gets trapped ( by one defender ) against the sideline and midcourt line every time, and James has to go out to the logo to bail him out, which throws off the whole possession.

And he's owed ~$16M, which make him a negative asset.

Good to know. So He doesn't need to answer the Phone tomorrow Palika.

He's not an NBA caliber PG. He can barely bring the ball across the time line under pressure. And he's got 1.5 seasons at $11M each remaining, which is not team friendly. He makes almost as much as Reaves, and more than Vanderbilt ( who is miles better defensively, and just as good offensively ).

The Lakers do not need a 4th PG behind Doncic, James, and Reaves, and especially not one at $11M. Even Milton is a better PG ( averages more assists than Vincent, and shoots way better ).
