2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

i think len/jemison/koloko are all equally "oh s***" options at center after hayes. that's just where we are.

 

I don't know Len seems clearly worse then the other two

 

They all have huge holes to their game. I have very little idea what Len can bring us. Jemison can maybe be our bulldog if someone tries to start a fight with us. Koloko has some real PnR talent but is still pretty raw. Don't think he is ready for the big lights. Don't think Len is either though, so I don't really have a great answer to this. I will trust the team.

 

Len is washed. If I had to pick between Koloko and Jemison I’m taking Koloko I think he’s better in P&R and more mobile defensively. Neither is a great option, but I think he’s a slightly better option than Jemison. Morris you’re likely keeping for experience purposes even though I’m not sure he has much left in the tank.

 

Len is officially a has been or in this case a has Len.

 

being a Laker for life doesn't mean you get to keep your roster spot forever.

that being said, I have a soft spot for Jemison and Goodwin, and I actually think we keep Len and find he'll give us some useful minutes in the playoffs as a big bodied vet.

And I'm very impressed that Morris had the only team positive =/- in the recent loss. Clearly he can still have an impact, so he's going nowhere.

 

Quota related



what can you do?

 

Not yet.

 

Koloko I’m not sold on yet, but ok

 

Good.
Len should have never been signed.
I feel kinda bad for Cam because I loved his defensive intensity.

 

Potential championship teams don’t lose by 40 to below average teams. We’ll probably have a good playoff run and some fun series to watch, but it’s hard to believe this team can win it all. I think it’s probably someone else’s year.

 

We’ve had some bad losses on championship runs. We were never the favorite but I still give us a chance.

 

I don’t know, I feel we are gonna go on a generational run, so I’m cautiously optimistic

 

This is where I've been since the Luka trade, not because of the Bulls game. The team has a championship ceiling, but its just too hard to seismically change the dynamic of the team midseason like we did with the Luka/AD swap and then win the title. OKC, Boston, Cleveland, those teams have had more or less the same rosters for 2 or more seasons now. Since Day 1 of training camp they've had the common goal of winning a championship and have attacked the regular season to build good habits. If things start to go sideways in a particular game, they have a foundation to fall back on. We don't have that yet. Unfortunately, I think our destiny this year is bowing out to OKC in the second or third round.

 

But I do remain hopeful…

 

They just took the Bulls for granted, and got their butt's kicked. It's the NBA, the other teams, have players making millions of dollars, to play basketball too. We f***ed around and found out.

 

Yes we fooled around and let them set the tone

It's like football, any given Sunday

Hopefully it's a learning experience and we grow from this

 

Some good stuff in this one...AD, Brunson, Kyrie, Jimmy Butler..
