    I agree with you wholeheartedly.They are not bad players I just don’t believe they are championship players especially Dlo with the wild fluctuations in his production he can’t be trusted.

    As a supporter of Kuz and KCP before they were traded, I don't think comparing DLo and Rui to them is fair just based on offensive consistency. They are all roleplayers so what I want from roleplayers next to star offensive players is to do the dirty work that doesn't involve just scoring and I would argue the gap on the non scoring stuff is big

    What Kuz and KCP gave you that DLo and Rui didn't was consistent effort on defense. KCP was a great chaser and decent on ball defender and Kuzma got better at these. Plus the big thing with Kuzma in terms of defense is he became a much better rebounder.

    Rui and DLo just get lost on defense. DLo far worse than Rui but Rui a huge problem with him is he sucks at rebounding despite his size and hops.

    Just learned about this today. Apparently Woj does a weekly Q&A on Threads.

    He says we're looking to address speed and athleticism

    Interesting. So that anti-Dlo? Lavine? Murray? Shroeder? Westbrook?

    Murray, Caruso, and Shroeder.
    Yes the irony that 2 are former Lakers is not lost.
    ATL makes a lot of sense for both teams

    Woj being as vague as ever. Speed and athleticism at what position? He didn't specifically say, the poster asked about PG and 5..Woj gave a generic answer. Hell every team in the NBA would like to add speed and athleticism. Perhaps we should target Brunson and Quickley

    Lol..It's the Lakers, we need 9-10 High end players on our roster at all times. Guys that would be in the rotation on just about every team. That way we might be able to scrap our way into the play in, in order to get bounced in the 1st or 2nd rd!!

    Yep..that's the Laker Nation take every campaign.

    Btw, Paulina in case you forgot
    Hours after the C Bags won their 17th World Championship, a banner was hoisted to the ceiling in place of the spotlight that shone 24 hours a day at the C Bags' training facility in Waltham.

    Seeing Suns fans already sour on KD is hilarious.

    Realistically, this is disappointing for all five teams included in that screenshot. They were all expected to be better than this.

    LOL at Kareem. [​IMG]


    :Fishwink:


    Then again I will trust him enough to think this dude "might" be worth something? He's 7 feet tall.

    [​IMG] .... but he's another twiggiest of twigs at that height and listed at 190lbs!!

    Probably a "grass eater". :giggle: :clap:
