For that matter, even if I think Boston doesn't need to trade for Giannis at this point in time, I can get why they'd be interested in possibly...
So you wouldn't have taken the risk on Beal because he previously had a history of injuries/health problems back in Washington? And you think that...
Exactly. There are plenty of other teams in the league where I think it'd make sense for them to trade for Giannis and actively benefit from that...
Look at the Phoenix Suns and how they actively got better right away after trading Kevin Durant away and buying out Bradley Beal for a few...
I just think it's silly to entertain bad ideas and try to talk ourselves into thinking they're actually good ideas personally, especially when...
Maybe it's because we're all Lakers fans here, IDK, but I think it's hilarious that everyone seems to be forgetting who the most successful team...
As I already said in my last post, I completely agree that the presence of a superstar or two are what elevate a great roster to championship...
It's an outdated system for today's NBA, my friend. Obviously, the most successful teams in the league still have one or two stars heading their...
No, Giannis isn't past his prime yet, but the drop off is very close for him and the bigger issue for him, apart from his increasing number of...
The man is going to have a nearly $60 mil sized contract next year. Even if we just absorbed Giannis into our cap space and only sent out our '26,...
Ha! I am definitely a cinephile and Friedkin's old nickname is just too good a bit to pass up on for a username IMO. But nah, I bleed Carolina...
Look, I get that we as Lakers fans have to hate on the Denver Nuggets and all, but as a lifelong UNC fan first and foremost, I am genuinely hyped...
I hate it when I'm right about stuff like this... How many times do I have to repeat myself and explain that Giannis is even more injury prone...
Exactly. No matter what path they take, be it the path of OKC and San Antonio or the path of Boston, the Lakers are probably going to have to...
My point exactly, yes. Boston, OKC and San Antonio all are where they are because their internal infrastructures are each nothing short of top...
Correct. Obviously the Lakers can't follow the same roadmap as the Spurs or OKC at this point- but they can look to them as reference points...
That's not happening. Reaves has some sort of back injury too right now, remember? Respectfully... You do realize that Giannis has worse health...
A bit, yes, but he’s still projected to be a late First Round pick in mocks. Mara’s been climbing up as of late. I suspect what’ll happen is Mara...
Quite possibly. This is actually part of why I'm so staunch on the idea of the Lakers taking initiative to secure drafting a similar sort of Big...
Maybe, but I could also see Presti being savvy in wanting to secure a rather valuable First from a rival team in OKC's conference that'd...
