Talk about delusional. Guy really think he'd be playable 8 years from now.

Unless I'm missing something, 11+4=15. He was drafted in 2012, so his last year would be 2026/27 or so....Talk about delusional. Guy really think he'd be playable 8 years from now.

I think your math checks out my friend.
Him saying "I don't want to play ball til I'm 40"
like he has a choice...

Golden State will for sure give him the UD Miami treatment until 40 if he wants it.
Just to have someone to knock out young players.

It would have to be GS cuz I don’t think anyone else is gonna pay for him to make podcasts, ride the bench, and punch teammates

a cautionary tale of why you don’t immediately unload all of your youth.
if LAL fans are content with sacrificing the farm for the one *ring, that’s fine. 1 championship can be worth a hundred 1st round exits. EYE personally don’t prefer that but it’s a joy to see that franchise in limbo/confusion

Maybe if the didn't steal valuable developmental time from those players by letting an aged out star jack up 20 shots a game in a farewell season....

Speaking of BB, overheard some young teens talking about the show. Think they just started watching for the first time and predixting what was going to happen. They about to be in for some surprises

Yeah, it would only be GS. UD gets the UD treatment because he's a Heat lifer. You don't get that treatment with that skill level bouncing around
DeAndre Jordan is another story, though (even though he's only 34
)

This could not be anymore poetic and fitting. A Warriors fan posts about why you shouldn't unload your youth then 36 minutes later a Lakers fan posts "Yikes" in response to an article about the Warriors wanting to retain their youth

Right cause there's no history of LeGM shooing youth out in favor of vets/his friends

Lakers are cooked. Dubs just won the chip and by all metrics still have the best starting 5 in the league. Them not going all on on a last type of ride deal with all the light years stuff is surprising.

You alluded to what I believe is part of the issue - they may have the best starting 5 but they lack depth. I know that's where you're thinking "That's why you trade the young guys for depth" MAY work out but it's a short term solution. Keeping the young folks and developing them is actually what lightyears is all about IMO.

Things Lakers fans have posted about over the last few pages:
- Jokic zero rings lolololol
- Ackshually the Light the Beam chants were a protest by Lakers fans
- Other fanbases shouldn't be able to talk because their favorite team is bad
- Warriors young players
- Warriors future picks

Ainge targetting another franchise with shaky ownership/front office.
