Lebron was pretty bad too. If anything KCP will be too reliant on AD cleaning up his matador defense and gambling. I just hope Danny Green plays 30+ minutes a game to see less KCP.
Lebron was bad? 27 points 8 boards and 8 dimes a game was bad? If that was bad I don't know what to call KCP's play last year.
He means on defense. It’s true, it’s not his fault, it’s the mileage. KCP does suck on defense though and it is his fault, he gambles too much.
Is 8 mil really that much? Cory Joseph got 13M per year for 3 years. Ariza got 2 years 25M and he is kind of cooked too. THad Young 3 years 41M. Lot of bad deals. We gambled for Kawhi and got burned. We were going for 2-4 rings in next 6 years. Could have gotten a guy like DLo/Jimmy and basically guaranteed a ring or maybe 2. Now its a miracle if we win 1. Lebron is 35.
What does that have to do with my post? The point I made was that I thought KCP would improve playing next to Lebron. He didn't. In fact he got worse all around. He was terrible last year. Why should we expect him to improve with Lebron and AD given how craptastic he looked last year? I don't expect it. I think he will continue to suck. Why are we measuring KCP to Lebron? Lebron had insane numbers last year even if he wasn't at his very best.
Miracle if we win one? Damn you guys have short memories. LeBron and AD made us title favorites. D'Angelo just got 27m or some wacky number. Jimmy wanted to be in Miami.
Who cares? What does that have to do with KCP? KCP sucks in every department. If you expect him to improve just because we are adding AD I think you are going to be disappointed. I'm through with that guy. Sadly, I get it, it's the cost of doing business with Klutch but I would have thought spending $30 million on this bum already was way too much. Awful news to get after the Kawhi snake news.
Sorry, I’m confused, something lost in the conversation here, didn’t mean to offend or anything. I saw Rock say KCP’s defense would improve next to LeBron and AD, then saw lakerfan2 say LeBron was bad on defense too (questioning how playing next to him would help KCP on defense, if anything he has to cover for LeBron and gambles more and thus is worse), then saw you say LeBron wasn’t bad, and assumed you just misunderstood what lakerfan2 meant.
Yeah I was replying to Rock saying how Bron would help KCP’s defense. I was saying Bron wasn’t great last year, so it wouldn’t help KCP. A little lost in translation there.
