Y’all really okay with this
He has a legit injury, man. He missed a playoff game last year with the same issue. This isn't a case of resting a healthy player.

I’m talking about before there was any issue with Lonzo and LaVine last year.
Vooch sucks defensively and DeRozan takes a nose dive come playoff time. Not a team built for playoff success.
I was a “hater” for saying they’d be a first round out when they had one of the better records in the league.

That's crazy about ADs shooting over the last two years. I guess he used up all his good shooting during that bubble run when he was lighting it up

True, but they were a fun story for most of the first part of last season. DDR was hooping. Even brought Bulls fans back to this thread.
But back to post-MJ normal for them now.

Remember when MLGA tried to launch that phony *** "AD is the best in the world" campaign after they won that AAU tournament?

Unless your Center’s name is Nikola Jokic (and even he can be somewhat competent), you probably aren’t doing anything in the playoffs without a good defensive big.
Was my biggest issue with the Vooch trade at the time.

You bring in Vuc to go with Demar & Lavine.
So I’m significantly cutting Vuc’s usage and he doesn’t play any defense. He’s absolutely worthless in that role
Same as asking Demar or Westbrook to play third banana somewhere. They don’t take 3s, they don’t defend, so what are they doing?
Dudes get paid millions to make these kind of decisions

Yeah I get that, I’m just saying they were a feel good story turned to dust, quick
If you or others had their doubts they’d be “real” or contenders- I get that
Their record against good teams was very poor from what I recall

Vuc was there before Demar though.

There was always gonna be another move coming for another big piece, especially after they missed the playoffs

Pretty sure that’s right. They feasted on bad teams early.

NOBODY on the Lakers roster (main rotation) does the little things. (Except Reeves, Pat Bev & JTA).
Bron, Russ, & AD all be cheating the game in some way. It won’t show up in the stat sheet, but always in the result.
It’s kinda wild to see some of the bad habits AD has developed. Still an incredible player and defender when he wants to be. But man. He really settling into coasting. When he shouldn’t be

In all seriousness, is there any chance the lakers become sellers at the deadline? They could get some #assets in exchange for AD. Bron and Russ would be trickier

It's just funny how everyone acts like they know how to build a team around Bron and AD but when they had a championship team yall doubted them the whole year and then discredited the championship
