Halliburton got career high 20 assists

 

If we can’t get Murray, please ship DLO and JHS out for Scary Terry and maybe a second coming back our way.
I’m sooooo tired of DLO only showing up every fifth game, against the bad teams.

 

Lakers related :

MPJ : Which team gave you the most trouble defensively ?

Jokic : The Lakers when they had 3 or 4 bigs in the bubble ..

Another confirmation we shouldn't have gone away from the formula which worked

 

Jokic may average a triple double this year or come close. He'll be the GOAT of Triple doubles for centers for sure. Very well rounded player.

why MJ is GOAT?

 

Bill Simmons seems to be tryna out-troll himself. He's talking about how if the Lakers trade AR for Draymond it "fixes" both teams.

Gawd.

 

Unlikely to play Friday
December 29, 2023
Porzingis is doubtful for Friday's game against the Raptors due to left calf injury management, Taylor Snow of the C Bags' official site reports.
It seems that everyone wants to play Lakers game even on crutches

 

he played last night against detroit. guess they really were worried about being the ones to end the losing streak

 

Good lord. Go **** yourself Bill!! Reaves is NOT done getting better. Whether or not he ever formally becomes an All Star, he much of the time now and certainly more so in the future barring any serious injury .... will be performing at that high level. After the Caruso debacle Pelinka should be taken out back and shot if he loses AR to this kind of stupidity these guys throw out there for clicks. Not to mention his fabulous for its performance to cost value contract for 3 years before we need to talk to him about extending him finally into his fair market value.

 

He'll play because it's us but still something to watch

 

DLO (and change) to GS again?

 

lol, guessing they'd want to move wiggins in a big splash (as opposed to enhancing depth), but he'd definitely fit well here.

 

agreed. Seriously doubt that would even be a conversation. Not unless his down year and the length of his contract scares teams... it shouldn't. But man, the comedic gold of the headline of DLO going back there for contract reasons instead of his game... it writes itself.

They need to trade Wiggins for a time machine and a muzzle + leash two-pack for Dray.





NSFW: LANGUAGE

Interesting.

1) Murray's favorite player is Bron. 2) didn't know they were close.

Klutch could nudge the Hawks in our direction on this one.

 

The Lakers are interested in Royce O'Neale and Dorian Finney-Smith.

It's same as Heyes

 

If that's originating from the podcast I listened to, then it's slightly out of context. The one I heard was Buha throwing out an idea of an on the fringes trade (thinks that's more likely than a big swing) involving a couple of likely available players who we've had interest in before.

 

Buha is a hack.

 

I like Simmons but that dude is definitely doing cocaine with that trade: Lakers already can't shoot and have plenty of bigs so you get Draymond and you literally have no
decent guard on the team. WTF.

Wiggins I don't know man: The Wiggins from two years ago yes but whatever that mysterious family thing that went on with him last year has basically converted him back into a guy playing basketball because he's tall and a freak athlete. Warriors have done much better with their young players. Lakers would need inside information to make that kind of move

 

If DFS is available you grab that dude: great defender and he can drill open 3". You can finish a game with lineups like AD, LBJ, AR, Cam, and DFS and that is going to be a rough one for teams to try to get mismatches on the Lakers
