Zion Williamson the last infinity stone needed for Lonzo to bring showtime to New Orleans.

Naa, Rondo must leave. A point guard who can't shoot is useless in this league. I say get Kemba and promote Caruso. That guy is underrated. He can give 10-15 points from the bench.

Bullock needs to prove that last season was an aberration rather than the norm.

BykeLaByke:

Will get back to you when Lonzo drops that 25point triple double at the stables centre.

LarcPickerin:



Rondo has one of the highest basketball IQs in recent times. A backup PG doesnt have to be a knockdown shooter if the second unit has enough shooters around him. Plus playoff rondo is a beast. As for caruso, its one thing for a g league player to play well in useless games and its another playing for a serious championship contender. I'd take terry rozier or collison before alex caruso, easily. Bullock was thrown in the midst of chaos, hard for him to thrive in a situation like that. I'm willing to give him and rondo the benefit of the doubt.

I'm looking at this free agency class and people arent mentioning vucevic among the stars, he is but will be a horrible fit with the lakers. Apart from rondo, javale bullock and KCP I look at the other role players to fill out the bench knowing the lakers might be a little cash strapped after getting a third star star and i see, b bogdanovic (admittedly unlikely), brook lopez, deandre jordan, mirotic, marcus/markieff morris, jeremy lamb, terrence ross, wesley matthews and i like jeff green. Theres enough to build a solid team out there if they play their cards right, they can use potential rings as leverage to get some to lower their salary demands. Good times ahead.

So this kind thread dey self.

Fans of Miami Heats where una dey

Watch Anthony Davis become a spot up shooter.

Roland17:
I hope guys who underestimate Fury watched the fight last night? The man has increased his ring speed, power and his body looks tight. I am just saying!

See how conservative you are with your predition? 25 points LOL! Let me show you what a real monster looks like even after sitting out half of the season.

LarcPickerin:
If you're the lakers, would you take Melo in a bench role?

steady986:

Whether a starter or a backup point guard, you're expected to know how to shoot. It's a terrible sight to see your point guard opt to dribble or pass the ball instead when he has an open look. You want your point guard to shoot the ball when even half a chance is presented.

As for Caruso, whether it's dead rubber game or play off clincher, making 3s is making 3s, rebounding well is rebounding well. You can't say it don't mean nothing. If he gets the chance to do it in a playoff clincher, he won't hesitate. And besides, his 32 points(including 5 threes)/10 rebounds game came against the Clippers who were fighting for a playoff place.

steady986:

As our supposedly third superstar?

Hardetayour:

LarcPickerin:

No you're not, different league but magic johnson wasnt exactly a good shooter but the same principles apply. Ben simmons, Rubio, Westbrook plenty of PG who cant shoot. Plus rondo actually shot well from the 3 last year.


LOL! Based on what assessment? one or two games when the lakers season was already over? Might as well sign andre ingram if thats the case. You'd take someone averaging less than 10 points in the G league over a possibly HOF point guard?

steady986:

As you rightly noted, s different league. This is a three point shooting league and a guard dominated league. Simmons would eventually turn to a forward who can play point. You saw that in the playoffs where he wasn't trusted to play point. Rubio would never play for a championship hopeful team. And for Westbrook, you damn know he's gonna shoot the ball anytime he's open.

And Caruso averaged 19 points last year. Rondo made his mark in his first 9 or so years in this league, when the league was transitioning from Center dominated to point guard dominated. And Rondo has never shot above 65% from the FT line. What kind of PG is that? He's just a liability when it comes to shooting. Look, as for playmaking, we'd have LeBron and hopefully Kemba as our primary playmakers, while Caruso and KCP can carry the second unit.

etidy:
If you're Chris Paul, Harden, Lillard or Westbrook how will you feel about the Davis trade.

You have suffered several years under the tyranny of the ruthless Splash Brothers and KD. Then finally, the Evil kings have been dethroned and incapacitated. Suddenly! your hopes are raised, you feel you can finally get the opportunity you crave for.

Then just like that another juggernaut arises I feel pity for these guys. They have little or no chance of winning a title at this rate especially Chris Paul and Lillard.
KD was right CJ McCollum and Co have to stop bothering about what's going on at the top of the league.

Ahh, SmooshCHN lives. How miraculous. You must have cried a bucket of tears in the past 24 hours.

Drake is currently in the studio recording a Raptor victory song. Will you like to listen to it when it's out?

KarnThornheart:


LOL All these false prophets on this thread. I mean is this clown really this delusional? And when did you make these predictions? You lying shameless sack of sh-t!

steady986:

Lol, A40 is a hardcore GS fan, let's not even go there.

birdman:
Whaaaat? a40 mus hear of this!

Wait, eruditor has fainted. Somebody bring cooold water

Lebron haters are in pains! Sifia pains!

A40:
I'm a hardcore fan of any team that brings LeNomad and his army of ret@rded Bronsexuals angst and frustration

A40:
Lmaooooo same Anthony Davis that misses 20 games per season on average? I'm not worried about that permacrock. I am happy though that LeNomad is trying to use his short one year window to win a title to the maximum. I actually hope they are healthy so there would be no excuses whatsoever.

My only mild annoyance here is the Pelicans not getting Kuzma in this deal.

A40:
Lmaooo beech are you ret@rded? How would you know when I made these predictions when the numerous demons responsible for your MPD are dancing Zanku in your head.

You must be a special type of obtuse to think I have anything to prove to a Lilliput like you. FOH my mentions you abominable nonce
