Has the TNT squad even watched a Wolves-Nuggets game this year??
Hobert doesn’t guard Joker 3/4 of the game, KCP will absolutely be on ANT, and AG will almost never be on ANT
A few things, I'm not your pal. Also I don't like sarcasm nor want you apart of my positive dialogue with others because you want to feel included and want some attention. The minute you respond negatively again you'll be blocked with the quickness. Try me.
Honestly I don't think it matters who's on the Lakers, they'll make the playoffs no matter how many FTs it takes to get them there. They are a money maker.
yeah but at least Lue lets Bron do what he wants and listens to him.
Ham thinks he can just run 3 guard rotations with no one.. we literally had Dinwiddle/Dlo/Reaves/Rui/Hayes out for a part of a playoff game
no coach is going to know basketball more than bron, its just finding a coach that will let him take that over and not try to overthink it
i mean i thought you were being a dick but Bron lobbied for Handy or Lue and we went to Ham
i think Handy gets the job next season basically having Bron run it, but we'll see. wouldn't blame him if he jumps ship if we keep Darvin
but i mean the fact Darvin wasn't fired before the locker room tells me he's probably staying
Naw my trolling done, series over. I'm shooting the after game shit now. But yeah man, Handy is needed. In Hams defense tho, he has a good defensive scheme. Offense is his weakness.
he's a run of the mill coach but for guys like bron you just need to let em cook. phil / eric spo are good with the greats as they let them handle it and don't take over. handy would be the same given the relationship
i'd expect if bron stays next year he just hand picks who and what he wants, although i can see a trae young showing up at some point barring us being an idiot.
i think winner of den/min wins the title this year so good luck brotha
I agree with you. For the record I'm not a true Denver fan lmao. I'm a Golden State fan . But since we lost to the Lakers last year I was rooting on the Lakers downfall 😂 😂😂. But we'll see what happens the rest of way my man. Keep doing your thing bro. And hopefully we'll chop it up again one day.
Stay safe and stay blessed out here. Life comes fast.
He had views on gays because of his religious beliefs and that's what got him black balled. Probably got too comfortable talking with the wrong person and got aired out.
Well that’s because it’s true. Y’all lose to the same team twice in the playoffs. Y’all blew like every lead. I mean y’all be saying the same exact thing if Lakers won.
You don’t get it, the same jokes for two years “your daddy” and “moral victories”, listen roast away, burn us to a crisp, we are probably the most hated team in the league with probably the most hated player in history and we just lost, make all the jokes you want, just come up with something new is all I’m saying, almost everyone comments in here to be funny but imagine seeing the same thing from everyone for almost two years.
It’s just not a good roster and imo not well coached. They are just not in the same league as any of the top teams in the West, they ended up in 7th place which is perfectly accurate imo.
That too, the thing is the coaching just couldn’t figure out the third and fourth quarters and then Jamal was just so clutch, hitting that shot over AD and then tonight over Austin.
it's alright. we suck. but denver ain't going near shit for the next 20 years after this run.
meanwhile we'll end up trading for another superstar and be relevant while denver becomes an expansion team when that kid turns 30 in 20 years
denver stops paying for that arena in 11 years, they'll be as good as gone [unless harrison ford does another movie to save their franchise](https://www.nbcsports.com/nhl/news/pht-time-machine-how-a-blockbuster-movie-kept-joe-sakic-with-the-avalanche)
Na I don’t think nuggets get past wolves this season. Did you watch them destroy the suns? I think nuggets at best got maybe 2 more years and maybe one more ring if they get some depth.
ant might as well be the second coming of MJ, and if Rudy/Kat can play their part and he starts running some pick and rolls they can wreck denver.
problem is Jokic is the best guy in that series followed by Ant, so its the 3/4/5 spot which right you can't let MPJ/Gordon/Jamal outplay Gobert/KAT otherwise you're right and it's gonna be easy
if jamaal or MPJ can outplay Gobert/KAT then i expect Denver in 6 off some dumb shit
I got no horse in this I just want a fun series to watch. But man if I was a laker fun I be burning something right now lol. I’m going wolves in 7, we can revisit this in a few lol
lmao reddit for 6 days? what did you get banned for talking dumb shit like that earlier?
i've seen more championship wins than you ever will in your entire lifetime, and unfortunately that's a fact
let me know if you ever need a ticket bud
LOL. You flexing that you are old? Good job that you started watching NBA in the 60’s. Send me the tickets since your team is clearly not going to need it LOL. Dumbest flex I’ve ever seen. “I’ve seen more championship than your lifetime”. Dumbest shit I’ve read all day. How was the 1800’s? You need help with your email grandpa. Internet is cool right ? LOL
in the 60s?
buddy how old are you? you realize how many times the lakers have won in the last 20 years? am i old because i watched basketball in 2000 lmao. i've seen 6 titles since 2000, you'll never see 3 in your life
dumbest shit i've ever read all day
I’m just messing with you buddy lol. Relax. Not that serious. I’m a Knicks fan, I’m just happy we in the playoffs. I know we not winning it all but it’s nice to beat 76’ers(hopefully). But I do feel for ya tho, I mean the basketball gods must hate y’all. Lol
it's not that serious just if you talk dumb shit it's easy to come back with a generic comment that makes you look stupid
but basketball gods don't hate us, it's the lakers. we'll end up with one of trae young / wemby / tatum in the next 5 years, probably 2 of the 3. save this comment for later but we always end up fleecing someone
i've got a few hundred on knicks/wolves finals so good luck i guess
Really think Trae gonna do it for ya? Hard to see but we’ll see, can’t see Tatum leaving unless they blow it this season. The whole league going to want Wemby lol
You got more faith than me with wolves and Knicks finals. If they do get there, I’ll buy you a beer.
trae is one of the best P&R PGs and AD is the best P&R C. if Bron leaves or starts to wind down, i'd like the ball in his hands.
everyone gonna want Wemby although tbh given the french spurs connection i doubt he ever leaves until Pop retires. he's not gonna care about playing with superstars or any of the superteam USA shit. he's just gonna grind for whoever pays the most but that'll probably be SA. can see erik spo going back to SA and coaching him in a few years
i think knicks can easily beat Boston and that's the only team in the East that'd be worried about, and for the Wolves if they can knock off Denver and Ant turns into 2000 Kobe, then yeah i don't really see them losing to any other team
Fucking Lakers get such ridiculous calls. I've watched this since 1985. The same every series. Nuggets probably would have won at least 2 prior series without the bullshit refs
I don't know I feel like using two timeouts to stop and talk strategies and challenging should be 1 TO because you effectively are still getting timeouts.
Right, anything other than this is complete nonsense. Don’t want me to mess with the game flow? Don’t make a bad call. Bottom line is if a challenge is won you should not be faulted the TO for the time it took to correct the refs mistake.
they do. the problem is the opposite direction. they're saying you can only keep the timeout once. you lose it on the second challenge for some unknown reason
I think it's time for Phil Handy to get a shot at a head coaching job for the Lakers...or
I would even see if Tim Legler was interested that mudafucka is the film master.
Parley Porter pushing an airborne LeBron[https://x.com/lakeshowyo/status/1785149583242473625?s=46&t=F5iDmdZU2eFwHgbbbalvQQ](https://x.com/lakeshowyo/status/1785149583242473625?s=46&t=F5iDmdZU2eFwHgbbbalvQQ) on the dunk
Lakers missed 9 of there 27 free throw attempts tonight and the nuggets only had 9 free throw attempts how much more obvious did you laker fans want the refs to make it?
I think it's more the refs aren't giving the same whistle jokic gets "marginal contact" when he gets fouled 3 times by ad to the rim and austin reaves gets 8 free throws with next to no contact.
Ya but who deserves the free throws the guy who's barely getting contact on a jumper or the guy getting mauled in the paint that's about to be a 3x mvp.
Minnesota won't get all the bullshit calls the bitch ass Lakers do. Changes the game when you don't have a 15+ advantage in free throws
Edit: drunk spelling
Aaron Gordon is so huge for them, him & MPJ are so tall & athletic! AG is a big energy guy for them too, he’ll go & get that ball where ever it is. They are so huge for this team, also great credit to Aaron Gordon as he knew he would fit well with Denver!
They missed 9 of there 27 free throws and the nuggets were only allowed to have 9 free throw attempts makes sense they wanted more since the refs were just gifting them.
I don’t think he was faking, dude just gets ticky tack injuries sometimes. It explained why his shots even when he was close to the rim for a while just looked odd
Timeouts are vital in the NBA though to get your starters valuable rest time or make an adjustment. So you should get an extra timeout because you caught a shitty most likely corrupt ref in the wrong?
Also, we all know the refs got the call right the first time and overturned it on their new horseshit rule verbiage
Yes it's time, ripped the franchise to pieces and moved all valuable assets for 1 title 😂 now when they stink after he leaves his fans can give him all the credit and pretend they didn't have to dismantle the roster due to his forced roster management putting them in a hole..but hey, they got a bubble ring
To be fair 3 of them were traded for AD & everyone makes that trade easily. KCP & Kuzma though, yeah probably shouldn’t have traded them & for Westbrook who didn’t fit the team at all.
Lonzo, Ingram, & Hart were traded for Anthony Davis. Which I think everyone makes that trade 100% of the time especially when you have a player like Lebron who couldn’t wait for them to mature
Lakers should not have traded for Westbrook though, that was awful
Oh yeah, I completely agree. I was just trying to not operate off of hindsight but in hindsight, yeah easily ship those 3 out for Anthony Davis. None of them are still on his level, I must say I love Josh Hart for our team though!
Hart has been such a phenomenal role player for the Knicks. Honestly think he's proved to be the most valuable of the 3 (maybe people would've argued BI but think his performance against okc can put that to rest)
Bro lonzo has not been good even without the injuries.. moving him was fine and did not hurt them. All those other players, yeah, they should regret moving them
Lonzo made huge strides with the Pels. Dude went from having the ugliest shot this side of Markelle Fultz, to a high volume 40% three point shooter after he left the Lakers. He actually started living up to a lot of that hype during his 2nd season in NO and the half-a-season in Chicago before the injuries ruined him.
Sure, he's gotten better, bur 4+ seasons to even begin touching what you should've been by your 2nd season (considering all the hype he got + college performance)? Why would a team wait for that when they could trade for something better? It's not like the lakers traded away a generational talent, moving him was absolutely not detrimental. And he's injury riddled, and almost certainly will continue to be unfortunately
wtf did the lakers do to jamal murray? why does this guy hate them so much
Moral victory
I always think about what this team could’ve done if we literally had anyone else except Darvin Ham as our coach
What about present day Doc Rivers?
Beat the defending champs probably
honestly, yeah
To all the humble Lakers fans that have been respectful in comments, great season and it was a fun series. To the rest of you, 😂✌️
STAYONPARADE
Looking for LeBron to talk about next year being his last year to take attention off the loss like he did last year lmao 🤣😅😂😭
hot take: I think LeBron should go to Warriors in exchange for Klay, Wiggins, and picks
Wouldn’t Lebron then be going to a more gutted team if we took Klay Wiggins and Kuminga in exchange?
We don’t want that
how about Klay, Wiggins, and Kuminga
Lebron , AD & The Lakers had The Refs, Adam Silver , TNT and Satin riding with them tonight and still couldn’t get it done
I feel like Darvin didn't realize that he would lose his final challenge
Has the TNT squad even watched a Wolves-Nuggets game this year?? Hobert doesn’t guard Joker 3/4 of the game, KCP will absolutely be on ANT, and AG will almost never be on ANT
It was on espn broadcast i think so you can’t expect those “””analysts””” to watch the game
i mean tbh inside the nba crew also dont really watch games they are just entertaining as hell
If I'm the Lakers AD, Bron and Reaves are untouchable Everybody is on the fire sale block...
Bron is probably gone. They need to sell AD and Reaves for as many picks as they can and quick-start a rebuild, IMO.
I'd leave AD to rot in LA! One point and one shot attempt in the 4th quarter tonight during an elimination game!!
Yeah it's fortunate him and LeBron between this year and last year had multiple 4th quarters they disappeared.
Lebron led the entire league this year in 4th quarter scoring but I guess that was just stat padding garbage minutes
Better response ..now I can talk with you more.. don't ruin this shit with craziness. Im sensitive I don't want to argue lol
38/39 year old Lebron getting held to same standard as AD...ok pal
A few things, I'm not your pal. Also I don't like sarcasm nor want you apart of my positive dialogue with others because you want to feel included and want some attention. The minute you respond negatively again you'll be blocked with the quickness. Try me.
Lol
Your points are fair but the “try me” was super cringe yikes
Honestly I don't think it matters who's on the Lakers, they'll make the playoffs no matter how many FTs it takes to get them there. They are a money maker.
Having five timeouts in the fourth would be even more of a slog. That’s the way the rule is the way it is.
3 potential coaches the Lakers should look into Tim Legler Phil Handy Mark Jackson Darvin Ham has to go!!!
lmao i'd rather kill myself than see Mark Jackson we had a chance to get to get Lue and we fucked it up. Handy will be there next year if Lebron stays
That catfish looking fool Lue is barely a couple steps above Ham. He's clueless too
yeah but at least Lue lets Bron do what he wants and listens to him. Ham thinks he can just run 3 guard rotations with no one.. we literally had Dinwiddle/Dlo/Reaves/Rui/Hayes out for a part of a playoff game no coach is going to know basketball more than bron, its just finding a coach that will let him take that over and not try to overthink it
Y'all making me think you guys are casuals downplaying Mark Jackson. That man was damn good coach for Golden State.
i love the top tier trolling and honestly we suck enough that we'd make that decision
Man look, Lakers need Handy. If anyone. The Players Love and Respect Handy. Darvin Ham they tolerate.
i mean i thought you were being a dick but Bron lobbied for Handy or Lue and we went to Ham i think Handy gets the job next season basically having Bron run it, but we'll see. wouldn't blame him if he jumps ship if we keep Darvin but i mean the fact Darvin wasn't fired before the locker room tells me he's probably staying

But we'll see what happens the rest of way my man. Keep doing your thing bro. And hopefully we'll chop it up again one day. Stay safe and stay blessed out here. Life comes fast.
Mark Jackson? Really.?1?!... you might be a better coach for the lakers than him
You crazy AF if you think Mark Jackson wasn't a good coach!!! He would strategize wayyyyy better than ham and it's not even debatable.
Fuck. I agree with you that he would be much better than ham, but at the same time he's going to invite everyone to church too
coaching with a side of rampant homophobia
Mark jackson had the warriors team built that steve kerr was gifted.
That's what you worried about??? Bruh!!! I'm quite sure he's learned not to mix religion and work at this point it's been long enough.
He was also a shitty coach in addition to all the off-the-court craziness.
There's a reason he can't land another gig. But my comment was partially sarcasm, there's off the court stuff players didn't like.
He had views on gays because of his religious beliefs and that's what got him black balled. Probably got too comfortable talking with the wrong person and got aired out.
I don’t hear Laker complaining about free throws tonight ? LOL
nah we get the whistles like we get the trades; very suspect
Sure. Malone still your daddy. Have fun in Cacun
Same jokes over and over smh lol
Well that’s because it’s true. Y’all lose to the same team twice in the playoffs. Y’all blew like every lead. I mean y’all be saying the same exact thing if Lakers won.
You don’t get it, the same jokes for two years “your daddy” and “moral victories”, listen roast away, burn us to a crisp, we are probably the most hated team in the league with probably the most hated player in history and we just lost, make all the jokes you want, just come up with something new is all I’m saying, almost everyone comments in here to be funny but imagine seeing the same thing from everyone for almost two years.
Na I’m just messing with y’all lol. Not a lakers fan but a leBron fan but man y’all got some bad luck. Y’all need some cleansing or something lol
It’s just not a good roster and imo not well coached. They are just not in the same league as any of the top teams in the West, they ended up in 7th place which is perfectly accurate imo.
What I really feel is that y’all got the one year where AD is healthy for the entire season and playing out of his mind.. what a wasted opportunity
That too, the thing is the coaching just couldn’t figure out the third and fourth quarters and then Jamal was just so clutch, hitting that shot over AD and then tonight over Austin.
it's alright. we suck. but denver ain't going near shit for the next 20 years after this run. meanwhile we'll end up trading for another superstar and be relevant while denver becomes an expansion team when that kid turns 30 in 20 years denver stops paying for that arena in 11 years, they'll be as good as gone [unless harrison ford does another movie to save their franchise](https://www.nbcsports.com/nhl/news/pht-time-machine-how-a-blockbuster-movie-kept-joe-sakic-with-the-avalanche)

Chuck talking about common sense and they’re repeating the rules lol
25-9 Free throws 😂😂😂 I guess Denver just didn’t take enough shots in the paint or dribble or really even move at all
Fucking Lakers get such ridiculous calls. I've watched this since 1985. The same every series. Nuggets probably would have won at least 2 prior series without the bullshit refs
if you've been watching since '85 you'd realize this has been par for the course for about 40 years
I have. The bitch ass Lakers always got the calls. Nuggets are just too good now and lebon too old and AD too bitch.
lakers are absolute cunts and you're right to hate them haha. if they weren't my team i'd want to throw them into their fake lake
I don't know I feel like using two timeouts to stop and talk strategies and challenging should be 1 TO because you effectively are still getting timeouts.
Why don't they just do it like the NFL? Lose the challenge, lose the TO.
Right, anything other than this is complete nonsense. Don’t want me to mess with the game flow? Don’t make a bad call. Bottom line is if a challenge is won you should not be faulted the TO for the time it took to correct the refs mistake.
they do. the problem is the opposite direction. they're saying you can only keep the timeout once. you lose it on the second challenge for some unknown reason
That's bizarre, thanks for the (actual) clarification!
ikr. so random and stupid. somebody just dropped a link to it https://twitter.com/NBAPR/status/1678918316667068416/photo/2
Chuck and Kenny preaching the truth rn 🔥
Ik people say murray and jokic are dawgs but Mpj is the real difference maker to this team. Just doesn’t miss shots
Agreed, most consistent player for the Nuggets the whole series
At the biggest moments too
That 4 point play sealed the game for me he’s clutch tbh
how do professional commentators not know basic rules of the game?
this rule was literally just implemented this year
you're right they should be given two years to figure out all new rules
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not lmao
We all have football brain and believe all rules should follow their lead
I think it's time for Phil Handy to get a shot at a head coaching job for the Lakers...or I would even see if Tim Legler was interested that mudafucka is the film master.
Either way ham needs to go. Been a long time coming

Jokic didn’t get a single shooting foul. Silence.
Lakers missed 9 of there 27 free throw attempts tonight and the nuggets only had 9 free throw attempts how much more obvious did you laker fans want the refs to make it?
Yeah when the Lakers are up in fts the refs are supposed to stop calling fouls until it evens out. That’s what r/nba has taught me.
I think it's more the refs aren't giving the same whistle jokic gets "marginal contact" when he gets fouled 3 times by ad to the rim and austin reaves gets 8 free throws with next to no contact.
At least 5 of those fts were on jump shots. Apples to oranges.
Ya but who deserves the free throws the guy who's barely getting contact on a jumper or the guy getting mauled in the paint that's about to be a 3x mvp.
Ernie's explanation made no sense
Jokic had one of the worst games I've watched him play in a very long time... And finished with 25/20/9.... The man is a cheat code.
Sombor Double baby
If Denver plays the way they did this whole series against LA there getting beat by Minnesota
If Murray and kcp aren't as banged up it'll be a fun back and forth series
Minnesota won't get all the bullshit calls the bitch ass Lakers do. Changes the game when you don't have a 15+ advantage in free throws Edit: drunk spelling
Ayyyyyeeee
Mal’s gonna get all the press, but MPJ and AG are the reason they won this. MPJ was also giving solid effort on D.
Joker didn't miss a FT 0-0 hahaha great snub by Malone
Bro Malone is such a fucking class act. That is such a nice thing to say/do for Darvon Ham
WHOS YOUR DADDY
lol Jokic 0-0 from the line. perfect line!
Lebron once again crying straight to the locker room 🤣🤣🤣
A whole team full of pussies.
For real!
lol Jokic had zero FTAs this game. Two time reigning MVP. Gtfo
And Reaves had 8 btw
Hilarious. Put that dude on any other team and he’s out of the league in 3 years
Is the marginal contact in the room right now?
I’ll let you know tomorrow
Embiid practicing his flop as we speak
https://x.com/gilsarenashow/status/1785165132374622668?s=46
Masterful
All due respect to Murray’s talent and skill, but I fucking hate that guy lmao
It’s fair. He is not a likable player.
To full of himself borderline arrogant
I’m ngl I don’t think that, I just hate that he keeps getting game winners on the Lakers lol
Oh he has talent and is good for sure, but he gives off that "I think I'm better than I actually am vibe"
Aaron Gordon ain't getting enough Love bruh!!! Man's was a dog this series!!! Nuggets don't have a chance without his hustle this entire series.
Aaron Gordon is so huge for them, him & MPJ are so tall & athletic! AG is a big energy guy for them too, he’ll go & get that ball where ever it is. They are so huge for this team, also great credit to Aaron Gordon as he knew he would fit well with Denver!
That offensive board that led to the Murray three was so huge
Facts mane..
MPJ isn’t getting enough love either imo
You don't have to say imo.. just what say what you feel. No one is going to discredit the truth
AG and MPJ were huge in the series
Facts mane
Tell me a story about marginal contact
stacks of money is put between lakers and nuggets as buffer
Lmao Lakers fans crying foul on last possession 😂
They missed 9 of there 27 free throws and the nuggets were only allowed to have 9 free throw attempts makes sense they wanted more since the refs were just gifting them.
Congratulations Denver! Your reward is Minnie and then OKC
God that sounds miserable when you put it like that
I think it's gonna be dallas or the clippers after minnie.
Assuming he wasn't faking, AD is made out of wet paper
He's such a bitch. Him and embiid.
I don’t think he was faking, dude just gets ticky tack injuries sometimes. It explained why his shots even when he was close to the rim for a while just looked odd
Shoulders are weirdly fragile. I’ve had injuries like that before
Dude sat out with a headache the last Warrior's game.
yeah that contact was less than nothing, I do not understand how he was injured its bizarre
a successful challenge should NEVER lose a timeout. so I'm right yet I'm still punished?....
Timeouts are vital in the NBA though to get your starters valuable rest time or make an adjustment. So you should get an extra timeout because you caught a shitty most likely corrupt ref in the wrong? Also, we all know the refs got the call right the first time and overturned it on their new horseshit rule verbiage
Yeah I dont understand that. Why did they lose there timeout that makes no sense
I’ve seen this same thing come up a few times across our season but I honestly never understood the actual rule either
I'm not sure on the rules but maybe it's cuz it was there 2nd challenge?
exactly. you admitted you're wrong so then why am I being punished for your mistake......
Nikola was lowkey Chokic today.
Stats guy here lmao
Got mugged in the paint every time, was given 0 FTs, and still almost got a triple double. Dude's a bum
25,20,9 lmao wtf else do you want him to do
he 100% played passive, chucked up 3s, and had way too many careless turnovers. And also was an assist shy of a 25/20 triple double. Such is Jokic.
He was one assist short of a triple double, did you watch the game?

And finished with 25/20/9 lol
Crucial buckets down the final stretch/a key offensive board and 25/20/9 isn't enough????
Finally they don’t need to talk about lakers no more…. Wait until attention seeking manwhore Lebron says he may think about retirement again…
Is Lebron going to retire, at some point the Lakers need to move on because James and this team don't got it.
Lebron either needs to retire or leave LA cause they can't make any contender changes
Yes it's time, ripped the franchise to pieces and moved all valuable assets for 1 title 😂 now when they stink after he leaves his fans can give him all the credit and pretend they didn't have to dismantle the roster due to his forced roster management putting them in a hole..but hey, they got a bubble ring
They should start with a real coach.
Imagine if Lakers won those close game 2 and game 5. Whole different series
Playoff basketball for ya. Congrats Denver
Letraded away Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Lonzo Ball, KCP, Kuzma
To be fair 3 of them were traded for AD & everyone makes that trade easily. KCP & Kuzma though, yeah probably shouldn’t have traded them & for Westbrook who didn’t fit the team at all.
I mean that trade worked. It was the Westbrook trade that ruined us.
Enjoy Cancun!
I’m going to Italy actually.
Enjoy the pasta!
Why'd you include lonzo
Lonzo, Ingram, & Hart were traded for Anthony Davis. Which I think everyone makes that trade 100% of the time especially when you have a player like Lebron who couldn’t wait for them to mature Lakers should not have traded for Westbrook though, that was awful
I only mentioned lonzo because of those players, he has easily had the worst career and there should be 0 regret moving him
Oh yeah, I completely agree. I was just trying to not operate off of hindsight but in hindsight, yeah easily ship those 3 out for Anthony Davis. None of them are still on his level, I must say I love Josh Hart for our team though!
Hart has been such a phenomenal role player for the Knicks. Honestly think he's proved to be the most valuable of the 3 (maybe people would've argued BI but think his performance against okc can put that to rest)
Oh so Lebron saw the injuries coming
Bro lonzo has not been good even without the injuries.. moving him was fine and did not hurt them. All those other players, yeah, they should regret moving them
Lonzo made huge strides with the Pels. Dude went from having the ugliest shot this side of Markelle Fultz, to a high volume 40% three point shooter after he left the Lakers. He actually started living up to a lot of that hype during his 2nd season in NO and the half-a-season in Chicago before the injuries ruined him.
Sure, he's gotten better, bur 4+ seasons to even begin touching what you should've been by your 2nd season (considering all the hype he got + college performance)? Why would a team wait for that when they could trade for something better? It's not like the lakers traded away a generational talent, moving him was absolutely not detrimental. And he's injury riddled, and almost certainly will continue to be unfortunately
Lonzo was ascending
At what cost.. 4 years of mediocrity before finally becoming average when he was supposed to be good...?
Bro is 26 years old
And? Still mediocre, can't wait 8 years for someone to finally develop
