The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[WASHED KING]

Name the last Laker 2nd rd draft pick that contributed.

Y'all aren't being serious this morning.

 

[B Sox]

It’s not like the 3 dudes drafted after him or any of the undrafted guys are doing anything of note. The guaranteed contract/roster spot was funny though.

 

[elpablo21]

JJ doesn't know how to use coachspeak yet

I'm entertained

 

[finessence]

Also a paying an old player past his prime more than what he’s worth as a player as. “Thank You” is organizational malpractice.

This is why the Lakers are terribly run.

They do it in soccer all the time

 

[dman14]

Not even sure if time off and trip to Miami would help Bron

Podcast JJ honeymoon phase about to be over.

 

[finessence]

Bronny definitely should’ve played football instead of basketball

 

[WASHED KING]

Is this soccer?

Should have went the influencer route. Less chance of CTE

 

[HIM]

Bronny has a Per 36 of like 10-4-2. You gotta throw him in the rotation and see what happens

Yup

 

[Based Jesus]

40 year old Bron can't play 36+ mpg for 82 games, this is why you get 20 year old Bron. Having him pick up DNPs in the G-League is wasted potential

 

[ill steelo]

Using a pick on Bronny wasn't the problem. It was giving him a standard roster spot and not a two-way spot.

I’ll forever love the flex.

You will draft my child and pay him several million dollars.

Incredible.

 

[ALNotSure]

So in other words y’all hold Lebron to a higher standard even at an older age than Kobe because he’s a better player.

Thank you for admitting it.

Bron won a championship with the Lakers, ain no *bubble ring* when every team who was in the Conference Finals in the bubble has returned back to it since the bubble ended. The narrative that it was a “fake” was only made because the Lakers won it. Everyone up here was enjoying those bubble games until the Laker

Washed king be twisting words as much as Lebron flops. Nasty work.

 

[antidope]

We are back to the crux of all the issues. The Lakers have a roster problem. They have had one since they blew up the Bubble title team.

Actually this is a reason many people still support the Lakers. They didn’t do Kobe dirty they stood by him and it was appreciated. Most organizations don’t do that. MJ didn’t get that treatment. The same organization sold Magic a minority stake. Obviously they have issues like Jerry West’s relationship.

The same organization that did Lebron a massive favor by drafting his son and putting up with 60% playing time, a bubble chip and one 50 win season.

I didn't twist a thing. You yourself said it. You said everyone knew Kobe was washed those last 3 seasons but y'all were cool with him taking reps and playing time away from young developing players.

Because y'all had zero EXPECTATIONS for Kobe. Y'all don't hold Kobe to the same standard as Bron because he's not and never has been the same caliber of player.

Thats ok.

 

[HIM]

Even that team had issues. It was an old team that would not have lasted an 82-game season and playoff run. They were helped by a shortened season and 6 month layoff.

What were the Lakers before Bron saved them in 2018?

Please show me

Wouldn't have lasted but were 11 of their last 13 before the shutdown with wins over the #1 seed Bucks and the Clippers?

Why y'all up here lying?

This goofy as hell….LeBron did the Lakers a massive favor by going there when superstars weren’t going to the Lakers,brought that franchise a chip for the 1st time in 10+ years.

Just be saying stupid just to get weak hater takes off

 

[lovehateself]

american football?
he couldve made 100mil playing for al hilal

I agree, but they were also the best team in the league pre-COVID so I wanna give them the credit there as well. It was better than every iteration of the Lakers after that for sure.

He isn’t better than hukporti.

This clip is just bad basketball by both teams… wild really…
