    I believe he was playing so often for award eligibility and he was playing so naby minutes because he was going hard for the MVP…

    It’s over my man. Luka won’t be fully healthy until June most likely. We aren’t surviving the west without him.

    Reaves needs to go back to the role he has when Lebron was injured at the beginning the season (11 games). During that time, Reaves averaged 28.3 pts, 5.1 rbs, 8.2 ast. Damn, Luka was going off at that time too. I guess Lebron has to go off? :Kobe Shrug:

    at least now we'll have an excuse when we get swept by Minny or Denver in the playoffs.

    still think we may compete even without Luka if we get the Rockets, as they seem like a highly dysfunctional team

    Yeah, they do seem like that. Everything from KD to not having a point-guard, to Eason possibly catching Nick Anderson/Ben Simmonsitis, 6-11 shooting guard with untapped potential, lottery pick backup guard just kind of mis managed, center with point guard skills, to even the Ayton/Capela thing is weird. They have a chance to be damn good in the near future, but we might have a chance with the current version of them.

    Sign Lonzo Ball. Doesn't replace Luka's scoring. But, replaces some of the ball handling, passing, rebounding, steals, deflections, and IQ. Helps enable Lebron to stay more off ball. Also serves as a second Marcus Smart, if you will. Could be a shot in the arm that the Lakers could use right now.

    It’s f***ed up. But we went for that March push. Everybody wanted it. I wanted it. And this came after a maintenance day missing the Washington game. Just unfortunate. Give him the rest of the season off to get right.

    have Reaves LeBron Ayton. Carry us. I dont want to hear s***. Austin wants 240 million earn it right here. Jaylin did it. So let’s see.

    and then see where Luka is at for game 1 of the playoffs. Josh Giddey had this and missed 2 weeks. So shams initially said Giddey would miss a month. So put it at that.
