The announcer made me laugh way too hard, just so disappointed
^^^^^^I am sure the attention to the Laker team and organization is still nice. I even find myself wanting to see Lonzo play just to see if he is having a bad game. I still do believe he will be a better player since he's so young but I also think he's no phenom either. And him being this phenom wouldn't have been a big deal if it wasn't for his dad.
Lonzo is just getting way too much hate but the Lakers did fuck up big time by getting rid of D'Angelo Russell. Lonzo is a decent player but he wasn't lottery pick worthy. His dad basically got him where he is today without Lonzo not really doing anything. Like i said though hes a decent player but he was just way too hyped up and the Lakers fell for it
if the mods were wu-tang, dean would be cappadonna
As much as I like seeing the Lakers lose, I agree with it being too early for the bust title. Jason Kidd had a pretty inconsistent jumper his first few years if I remember ? That’s who he reminds me of the most.

Zo has no emotion or expression and is way too passive. He has little to no real effective on the game.

And that Philly trade is a head scratcher... on paper, Jahlil Okafor, Nik stauskas and a 2nd rounder would warrant a bigger haul. Maybe Philly wanted Okafor out that bad ?

If spinning around, holding the ball too long, being out of shape, and playing no defense equates to being a good basketball player, then sure.

I think nobody wanted to sign him so he retired lol. He was a decent role player during last year's regular season and he finally got a ring with the last team his mom saw him playing with. It's time to hang the hat.

He was on a team with no Ben Simmons, no Joel Embiid (for the most part) and no Redick and we came close to making the playoffs. Don't just jump on the hate train. Philly didn't give him a chance at all. The seasons he did play we were meant to lose to get good draft picks. Now that we have a solid team, we didn't return the favor to him at all

He also fancies himself a starter, so wasnt't be happy with coming off the bench, and even if he was, wouldn't really help address any of their bench's weaknesses. They had literally no reason to play him with Embiid healthy. Other GMs will see that the utility of the player to your franchise is low, and will adjust their offers accordingly. Sometimes it's just best to move on even if the deal isn't an equal exchange as far as talent.

also, we only came close to making the playoffs last season because of the january push, led by embiid, featuring almost no okafor at all
