What's JR Henny up to?Lmao.
Might as well bring back Waiters and Rondo next
Selling pounds of the finest in West Hollywood last I heardWhat's JR Henny up to?
I mean, the last time AD was a PF with McGee at the 5, we won a championship.If Lakers sign Javale McGee I am going to
Exactly. I won't laugh at the Lakers for signing him because McGee is the perfect signing for the 14th roster spot for the vet minimum.I mean, the last time AD was a PF with McGee at the 5, we won a championship.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was not being cereal.That was 4 seasons ago and AD actually played 60+ games.
javale played zero minutes in the 2020 finalsExactly. I won't laugh at the Lakers for signing him because McGee is the perfect signing for the 14th roster spot for the vet minimum.
Instead, I'll be laughing at those Lakers fans who would be against signing him because they think Javale wouldn't be able to impact AD (and this team) even at his old age of 50 LOL
Pelinka has likened Action Jaxson to Dwight. I guess the only other Big left to sign is the real Javale so we can go ahead and lock up AD's other big bodyguard so we can win #18
I don't care if Javale didn't play minutes in the Finals.javale played zero minutes in the 2020 finals
ZERO
you know the denver nuggets that team with all those tasty impact bigs?
in the 2020 nba western conference finals against the nuggets javalee mcgee played 7 minutes a game in that series and averaged more fouls than points
but ill let you celebrate the idea of the lakers signing him
and thinking jaxson hayes is anything close to washed dwight howard is just deplorable
$300 says Jaxson Hayes starts multiple games this year. I bet you or anyone on this thread won't take the bet cause you already know the Lakers are going to go 2-Big this season and all you Smurf lineup lovers who love seeing small ball teams jack up 50 threes a game is exactly what you want to see the Lakers become lmao
Jaxson will play 16-20 min in the Dwight-Javale role. And he will start and play alongside Davis. Not just when AD is hurtNo it'll just happen because AD won't play 82 games
He's not good, he's just all they have at backup. He'll make some plays that will be exciting but be a net negative player and never close out games when the team is at full strength
Jaxson will play 16-20 min in the Dwight-Javale role. You'll see
You want to bet? Dwight Howard, only put up something like 6 and 6 every night. But everybody knows his impact in 2020.I didn’t say he’s not getting minutes. I’m saying he’s not good

Are you saying 2020 Dwight sucked?
If you think all Dwight did in the 2019-20 regular season and playoffs was beat up bigger bigs and foul like crazy, then I'm sorry man but you gotta go back and re-watch all the games and pay much closer attention to what he brought to the table and what Jones, Bryant, and Jordan didnt. And I'll tell you it's a whole heck of a lot more than putting a body on someone LOLHe was a big body that beat up bigger bigs and fouled like crazy.
Hayes is not beating anyone up or slowing anyone down. Raw numbers might match up but impact sure as hell won’t.
Why are you so obsessed with betting on Hayes
Lakers still clearly on the hunt for another big man for that 14th spot....has been the topic.EYE don’t know why this topic gets brought up 3-4X every week but here we are.
Again.
Oh come on..Lakers still clearly on the hunt for another big man for that 14th spot....has been the topic.
And aside from the All-Star Austin Reaves balling in the world cup, the Lakers' intention to bring back the 2-Big lineup in order to preserve AD's fragile body and minimize his wear n tear has been another noteworthy topic the last month or so.
Season starts in October.
Just because AD's past injuries came off "random stuff" doesn't excuse the fact he has more wear n tear on that body, which is clearly why Pelinka wants to be more versatile and create more matchup advantages by going 2-Bigs and moving AD to PF for more stretches in games. With another big on the floor with him, AD becomes even more impactful in and out of the paint as a help defender.Oh come on..
AD's injuries have been mostly foot, ankle, knee type stuff. Random stuff like guys rolling into one of his knees or him jumping in the air and landing on someone's foot... basically the type of injuries that have the same likelihood of happening regardless of if he's matched up against Embiid, Joker, Porzingis, Al Horford, etc.
Versatility is a good thing to have... and I don't think anyone here is saying they should NEVER play AD next to another center. There are pros and cons to just about every lineup combination, I'd play a bigger combination at times because AD and Lebron don't always want to rebound... but they're going to sacrifice offense when they go that route.
Bigger does not necessarily always mean better. You need skill and the ability to play both ends of the floor... Lakers were the smaller team against the Nuggets, but what also hurt them as much if not more is that there were too many specialists in the rotation... all offense and no defense (Rui) or all defense no offense (Dennis, Vando) or worst NO offense and NO defense (DLo). Hard to win that way because you put too much pressure on the others to make up for those guys shortcomings.
