Holy shit you're a moron
Baynes > Mcgee and Zubac COMBINED.

Rozier > Rondo or Lonzo

Brown > KCP

If Hayward is on the bench, he's better than anyone in your starting unit, sans Lebron.

Wiggy is trolling.

But, his post was actually pretty correct.

shit I would take Boston's bench over most of LA's starters.

Rozier, Smart at least thats for damn sure. Brown too unless they have him starting. Esp. at this point in their careers if i am trying to win games its like their is a huge difference between Morris and Kuzma.
You would take Morris over Kuzma?

Yeah....I don't know.

Morris is a much better defender.

But, that Dude's brain is a bag of cats.

He's too volatile.

i dunno about you man but ive watched LeBron a LONG time and he can talk about being patient but when the rubber hits the road and its like in January and hes getting ornery and pissed off its gonna be interesting to watch. LeBron does not have drama free seasons thats for sure. You know that as well as just about anyone.
Hmmm

I think Ingram is better.

Scores, creates for himself and others.

Imo, not yet. But as I said, I expect that will likely change this season.

With apologies to @ChiefsLakers67 I think Lebron is going to have a pretty profound influence on Ingram's development. Not just on the court but also in preparation, how he takes care of his body, stays in shape, etc., etc.

Basically, I'm hoping Ingram follows Lebron around so much that Lebron thinks he's one of his kids. lol

As the big papa mentor of the Lakers, Ingram IS one of his kids, along with Hart and Ball and Kuzma.

Agree.

If Lebron could make JJ Hickson and Boobie Gipson look like legit NBA players, what can he do with guys that have actual talent?

I don't know if Ingram will ever be a big time scorer.

But, I see him turning into a better, longer version of Nic Batum.

I don't buy it.

Right now the Lakers are ridiculously weak at the 5 spot so I would take a wet bag of Cheetos over McGee and Zubac.

But Rozier? Nah. The only thing he's slightly better at is scoring. Heck, he's averaging 2 assists per game.

And I don't see many players on Bostons bench better than Ingram or Kuz.

Wiggy isn't trolling. He genuinely believes it.

I think it depends on who goes to the bench.

If it's Hayward to start the Season, he is better than every player on your roster not named Lebron.

I would take Rozier over Lonzo.....TODAY.

Take this with a grain of salt because it's comparing a 3rd year guy to a rookie....

But, you are right about the dimes.

Terry is more of a scoring guard.

His dimes did increase as a starter. But, he isn't in Lonzo's class as a facilitator.

Neither are lighting a house on fire from the field and Lonzo gets more boards.

But, that broken jumper and free throw shooting?

Yikes.

I'd go Rozier today.

* playoff stats 16.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per postseason outing *

5 years from now? Probably Lonzo.

The Celtics also have Smart off the bench.

Hard to quantify his worth based on stats, which is why I didn't include him.

You're absolutely correct.

Lonzo is(was) a rookie and Rozier had been in the league for a few years.

But for THIS Lakers team, Lonzo is more valuable than Rozier would be.

Eh.

Not sure I agree.

The Lakers have a ton of playmakers. Rozier's scoring/shooting would fit much better because he could play off the ball alongside both LeBron and Rondo. I can't fathom Lonzo, Rondo and LeBron being able to play effectively with all 3 on the floor together.

Rondo and Ball are probably 2 of their 5 best players, and I am just not sure they can coexist on the court for extended stretches.

Because at least 2 of 5 on the court can't shoot a lick. 3 of 5 if they play McGee or Zubac with them. Passing is important for sure, but you need to have finishers too.

lol...hey say what you will about Boobie Gibson- but putting up damn near 30 in an Eastern Conference clincher - in a series no one way expected them to win was pretty huge.
