It’s not just the players. Everyone is delusional
Matt Barnes yesterday said the lakers are built for the playoffs. I think Kenny Smith and Kendrick Perkins said it too.
Kenny hasn't played in the league in 20+ years and Perk talk out of his *** daily. Ill listen to them when I want comedy or hot basketball takes, I won't listen to them when it comes to actually constructing a basketball team
The irony is that around 2008 Kobe went to three straight finals and won 2. Meanwhile lebron was ****ting his pants yearly around that time. Lol
Some really good sh*t here. They talk about LBJ was not a coach k fan because they lost in the fiba world championship tournament in 2006. Then they talk about how LBJ went to coach k in the 2008 olympic games and after the game against Australia LBJ b*tched and told coach k to pull a side Kobe about shot selection and stop taking “Kobe Laker Shots”
Yeah F LBJ and his million of LBJ stains!
Dude that’s a steal for LA!Hate the Capela contract, but the Hawks might be looking to shed money with Trae and Huerter’s extension kicking in.
Debating between two players on the same team I would target if I were the Lakers.
Please decide:
Player A
Two more years after this year
Early 30s, likely on a decline
High basketball IQ
Durability issues
Above average shooter, can handle the ball, pass
Fine defender
Player B
Expiring contract next year
Mid 20s, prime of his career
Super athletic
Not the smartest guy, very eccentric personality
Okay shooter at best, streaky
Defensive presence
. This should’ve been done early when he was just “struggling”
