The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[The Q]

I mean sitting there in 2021 when you take the asset at pick 28 relative to waiting 3 years to make the 41st pick.

What would we be saying about a team that trades the 28 pick in the 2024 draft and all they get back is a 2nd in 2027? Same fucking thing.

Sunk cost

Historically a top 40 pick is worth pretty similarly to a late first

 

[The Q]

Actually, no!

Lakers average 36.7% from 3
Sixers average 36.2%

Now add hield….

And they subtracted Springer….


I think Philly got the edge now

Probably!

TBD

The Lakers were ALLEGEDLY a bad outside shooting team last season. Didn't stop the postseason run.

Sweetie…your three point shooters blow and they can’t space the floor. Nobody thinks twice about doubling off of any Laker at the 3 point line. The Sixers have Maxey Melton and now Hield that the defense has to think twice about helping off of. The Lakers don’t have those kind of threats at the 3 point line.

So we agree the Sixers wasted the asset if you’re talking sunk cost. Additionally, this move didn’t have to be made now. He’s only 21. They quit on the asset at a stupid fucking time.

And yet they're still shooting better than the Sixers.

Sweetie!

You are that much of a pussy?

You need to hide behind a woman?

So much could be said here

Pretty sure he only wants to keep Hield.

Maybe

Sweetie!

We’ll just revisit this in the playoffs and I’ll tag ya every time I see some one talk about the Lakers shitty distance shooting and its impact on the floor.

Kobe statue unveiling on NBA TV if anyone is interested!

Some great Kobe stories being told.

Why am I keeping Cov and Hield again?

 

[fightinfunbags]

Pretty sure he only wants to keep Hield.

Maybe

Melton is the guy in that group I resign. He’s likely getting 16-20 million.

I got him at 4/80ish

I never said the Lakers aren't a shitty distance shooting team.

I'm just saying the Sixers are worse.

Maybe you need to look at your own teams stats before trying to talk smack!

I guess you could let them walk but I’m not sure who you think is gonna be better out there

Also batum will cost more than he does now if he doesn’t retire

Let him walk then. He ain't worth Hachimura money.

Hell, Hach ain't worth it.

Miami was one of the worst in the reg season last year and tops in playoffs. Injuries, not meshing, etc. Stats aren’t everything. Roster makeup is a lot of it. Lebron shooting a career high 3 pt % is tilting that Lakers % imo
