Former Lakers Majority Owner Mark Walter Discussion

No. They are both weak at their positions on D bro..it is what it is on that point. I've never heard of Austin or Luka described as average or above average defenders. That doesn't necessarily mean we can't win with this combination, it's just going to be extremely difficult. At least one of your two best players, need to be a good defensive player too IMO.

 

dennis lindsey is the guy walter should be targeting to replace rob

made the moves that led to the mavs finals run a few years back

 

Have a good time!

 

and what if their two best players couldn't jump?

 

They can both jump you’re tripping. Luka doesn’t have to with his size, strength and control of the ball and his body but he can. I’ve done freeze frames and posted them here how high AR gets up to block a shot, grab the ball, stuff the ball …. whatever. He doesn’t like the cup the ball one handers, rather always uses two. Not a big leaper but he gets up in the 36” range.

 

White men CAN jump!

 

He got the reference

 

he was there when dallas made their good side moves, and he then he went to detroit right after. long-time guy in the league with lots of relationships. exactly what we need, imo.

 

Walters should be pissed after this game.

 

This is the biggest bunch of BS. Len, let's see what your email reads after they get bounced out of the first round.

LMFAO.

 

why mention Lebron? Maybe they actually expect to bring him back.
Maybe not mentioning him would cause a firestorm
Maybe.....ahh who gives a crap? Who am kidding. I live in another country and won't be coming there to watch a game anytime soon. Especially if they suck, the prices are outrageous, and we're playing an unwatchable brand of basketball.

 

Except when it’s NOT and incredible plays are made but how would you know mostly reading box scores (to believe you when you say that) and wielding that big broad brush you do often?

 

Just saying it’s not “always” crap or unwatchable. Can it get better …. sure. Like it would help a ton if role players would knock down wide open shots they get from Big 3 as often at a decent % as they should. Ball pounding IS on Luka and LeBron when it happens but Shirley would happen less if they did that.

 

I comment when I watch on what I watch, and you can never dismiss advanced stats or a good box score reading armchair quarterback who protects his health by limited exposure to bad basketball

when it’s fun to watch, I’m the first one there with compliments.

 

Just saying it’s not always crap nor is it good most of the time. Guys hitting their shots would go a long way. Lots of passes get made in that hope. Just my opinion and of course you have yours.

 

I like Bennett. He was a good coach and a good basketball mind. He was particularly good at identifying underrated talent for his college teams.

Also like that he’s not a part of the Laker family as far as I know.

 

I'll add that his teams were known for playing hard and playing good defense. i definitely think he has an eye for the kind of guys that can help us.

 

great hire. bennett's one of the best bball minds and talent developers the college game has had in recent history

not to mention that anyone's an upgrade over pelinka
