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
That just shows Bron is extending his career by becoming a better outside shooter.

Quit hatin'!

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

Hell, Hach ain't worth it.

Strong disagree

The bucks needed to get him before Philly did

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 don’t think they are and .5 % difference doesn’t prove shit with a half season of data. It’s about the space the three point shooting can create. The Sixers at least have spacers on the floor. Lakers don’t.

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
Batum is retiring. Cov is cooked and Hield is a sign and trade candidate.

Bron is making 39% of his treys and Russell like 42%. Reaves is at 36%. Reaves is capable of getting that up closer to last season's 40% by the end of the season. Closer, not at.

Why are we talking a player comparison head to head between Melton and Rui?!?!? They don’t play the same position. They don’t have comparable game. Stick to trolling.

Thank you! The reason why the Sixers with Maxey/Embiid and the Lakers with LeBron/Ad need shooting around them is because it makes those players better when they have spacing around them on the floor.

The Sixers are deficient in this area and need to improve it. I’m not saying the Sixers are the fucking 2017 Warriors or anything. But they have three pieces that can space the floor in Maxey Melton and Hield than any player on the Lakers.

Levert is a comparable player. LeVert 3 years older when he was extended. Cavs got a bargain $13-14M/year. Anywhere from $16-20M is about right imo

You think that’s sustainable? Even if it is you think the best LeBron is 23 feet away from the basket LeBron so he can space for DLo Rui and AD?

@DJ has no idea what kind of game Melton has or what his value is on the court. Hes the guy you put around your stud guard to knock down threes when open and to play plus defense on the other team’s best offensive guard. He doesn’t get it. In the NBA that guy who hits at a 38-40% clip every year is gonna get $20 million a year. He just doesn’t get it. That’s seen in him trying to do a head to head comparison with Rui Fucking Haichimora.

He isn't shooting 18 treys a game.

5.4 of his 18 FGA's are 3 pointers.

Nobody was doing a head to head comparison.

Just said it's an overpay. Or that is what I meant to say.

Cool story bro.

And the Lakers are still a better shooting team than the Sixers. However which way you want to spin it.

Oh, except FT%. Ya'll got the Lakers beat there.

Pay Melton 16-20 mill per.

The Lakers got Reaves at 4 years and 54 mill.

And God Bless ya. This is where it begins and ends for you. You’re a Fan Boi. You don’t really know much about non-Lakers. Just own it. You had no idea who Melton is and what kind of game he has.
