**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Tough year for the "gotta have bigs" bull ****

You still don't get it

You think "gotta have bigs" means post up plays n ish LOL

Without the defense and rebounding contributions of a big - Looney - .....

and defensive savvy and leadership of another big - Draymond ......

plus the lockdown D on Tatum of other "bigs" with size and length - Bjelica and Porter .....

and the incomparable 2-way play of a 6'8" wing Wiggins, who btw averaged damn near 10 boards and 1.5 blocks this series, resembling production a PF or C would put up....

If it weren't for IMPACT Bigs, size, and length and big time play by "THE OTHERS", Steph Curry don't win jumbo jack

You think BOS reaches the Finals without Horford and Timelord? You think Kareem and Magic win 5 titles if they had freakin Pooh Richardson, Gary Grant, and Ken Norman instead of Worthy, Green, and Rambis?

Etc. Etc. Etc.

 

[grittyman]

do GM’s even matter when owners aren’t willing to spend?

Bring on the draft and free agency, throw these what if scenarios in the garbage

 

[Lizakers]

Meyers cool and all, but does he even read the Bible?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Bob Myers on NBATV postgame,, when asked about the role he played in bringing in the complementary pieces to turn his Warriors around after stinking it up the last 2-3 years:

"People look at the star...but no star does it alone...The NBA, the stars get the credit and they deserve it...BUT as you all know it's who you put around them....and when you get lucky and have a Steph Curry, our job, my job is to give him every chance to win."

He gets it.

Sounds good but I don't think AD has the physicality of Giannis.

 

[thasoleful1]

Does sound good but also Ham needs to figure out why AD is falling to the ground almost every play offensively and defensively

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

It's a beautiful day in L.A. boys cause....

 

[pmatic]

Sounds good but I don't think AD has the physicality of Giannis.

And I doubt they can manufacture the supporting cast to allow AD to attack the rim like Giannis does in one summer. Unless...

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

For all that to be true, sounds like they'll be going back to starting a traditional 5 next to AD and soak up 15-20 minutes or so a game.

Burks and Fournier are decent. Kemba is done. I don't think Nerlens wants anything to do with Bron/Klutch.

[MVP]

Giannis is built like a Greek God.
AD built like Reed Richards circa Multiverse of Madness.
