    Yep, the more guys who have willing to do the dirty work and all the little things, the better.

    Watching AD in tandem with Bam is a sight to see. Just amazes me how we abandoned that formula for success after our 2020 championship run. Get the man some post defensive help Rob.

    AD takes every possession like it's a playoffs.Take it easy 10 points 11 rebounds and 4 blocks.
    Ant and Davis are the best tonight by a mile.

    AD is clearly the best defensive player on the planet. Jokic beating the Lakers last two years is taking away the fact when AD had good defensive players around them they took care of Denver fairly easily

    Would be nice if this FO believes AD and Lebron - they both look good out there. They look totally in place within this team

    Said it when I found out, I’ll say it today, not sure why Embiid is on this team.

    LOL at JJ walking back, slowly, and saying "AD is a top 5 defensive player.... bla bla bla". No he isn't, based on your dumass voting. Kills me, still.

    He's an NBA champ and all the money in the world but AD might look back on his career and tell himself : I could have taken a better decision than teaming up with Bron , Klutch and the Lakers

    decent chance he never gets a ring that way and is even less respected than he is now. for whatever reason, nobody wants to give him credit for anything.

    He signed off on the WB deal. I know half this forum hates Lebron but the Lakers were easily the best team in the league in 21 as well the title team in 20. He signed off on that deal and went to dinner with brick before the Lakers pulled the trigger. This is as much AD's team as Lebron

    AD hasn’t continued to pressure the FO to make more bad moves, though. He learned his lesson about managing a basketball team. He’s now requested another big, but keeps showing up without complaint while we load up on guys who weigh 220
