Rui's contract is expiring just like Gabe and Maxi next season. https://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/LAL.html
Unfortunately this is true, but I can understand the allure of Luka post Lebron. Ironically, the very thing AD complained about, incessantly in...
Funny thing is, Jarred was considered to be a scorer, at PG in HS. He just wasn't gifted with springs. If he had them, he'd be a star caliber player
True but Luka and Lebron, are capable of dropping 30 plus, coupled with a high clip of assists and rebs, on anybody. That's not a common thing...
Finney-Smith was reputed to be one of those type of guys, but TBH I think Vando is more in line with that mentality, than Finney-Smith. Hell...
If we had won that Bulls game, we'd still be in same exact position, as we are now.
We could use a " dirty " player or two ourselves.
The Championship team was built around Lebron. Perhaps Rob hasn't built a decent enough squad around Lebron since then? At some point the...
Meh...1-7 in the 4th quarter, is still 1-7 period. You gotta bring more than that, if you want to win on the road against a good team. Luka's...
Well if a 40 year old Lebron, is still leading your team in rebounding and assists,(never mind the 27pts) on the road in a must win playoffs...
Consummatum est
He is better than Hayes and he's a legit double digit rebounder for his career.
It's the roster fit, DFS isn't that effective on perimeter players. He's known as a good defender on 3-4. If you brought in Johnson and Claxton,...
Lebron at 40 is still clearly our 2nd best player. Him retiring doesn't give us any real cap relief anyway. We absolutely need Lebron to come...
If you are committed to playing small ball, Vanderbilt has to play more with this roster. He's a better defender at 1-3 than Finney-Smith....
He'll drop a 40 or 50 piece in the next game.
The real problem here, is that without Lebron James, Austin, Rui and Dorian, aren't going to be a strong enough core around Luka, to be a...
Luka really needs an elite secondary ball handler to pair with IMO. And a couple of bigs with live legs.
The game thread is the live version of the whine, moan and complain thread!:Laugh:
Ham went to the Conference Finals as a rookie head coach. We just made some poor decisions, the players and the HC. Small ball isn't the best look...
