Tell me just one team that lost their best player for a quarter of the season and are still part of playoff contention bar the warriors and pacers. Especially a team that was tipped for the playoffs not because of how good they are but on the merit of their best player. When rondo was aked why he believed theyd make the playoffs he said, "we have lebron". Ball went down just after lebron and ingrams shoulder wasnt 100, they both required surgery later on and are out for the remainder of the season. Rondo was out for a good spell too. No team suffered with injuries as much as the lakers. The lakers with lebron ingram kuzma and ball healthy were on pace for 50+ wins. Take that for record.
Lool who cares what Rondo said? What was he supposed to say? They won't make it

Anyway this same player had a chance to prove it when he came back with 31 games to go. With everyone healthy at the time including Lonzo, yet with less than half of that 31 games left they were already knocked out and waved the white flag which proves your faith and that of the players were terribly misplaced

Btw how can a team that had a 20-14 record be on pace for 50+ win? How did you come up with such abysmal Maths

Theres no point arguing with you. This just proves you have no idea what you are saying or what happened to the lakers. You just love shitting on bron for the sake of it. Lonzo hasnt played since mid January.

Oh and i said their record with all 4 players playing not their record before lebron got injured Mr. Pseudo analyst.

LOL Imagine taking barkleys words seriously cheesy cheesy cheesy

Did gasol stop being capable after 2010

I'll give kobe credit for his two rings with his two FMVPS. Those first three were shaqs period.
The question is at what point was Gasol capable of carrying the team with Kobe on the downturn?

The only ring Shaq deserves sole credit for was the 2000 ring. If your teammate is averaging less than 2pts per game than he did in a series then you can't say he was carried so kill that nonsense

It's quack analysts like you and other Bronsexuals that pull out and nitpick meaningless records that doesn't take into context the quality of opposition.

In an 82 game season you just pull out a small sample and assume all factors will remain constant. To propagate megedefegede like the Lakers were on a 50+ win pace. Nonsense

Lebron has turne into a alcoholic because of the friggin lakers SMH
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:09pm On Mar 29, 2019
YulisCromwell:

Seeing as these actions got him fired why would he resist the chance to blame it on bron knowing that might redeem him except if thats the truth?
Have you asked Paul Silas, David Blatt what they think about LeNomad?

Btw what does it profit a GM that hopes to work in the NBA some day to burn bridges with it's most powerful player

YulisCromwell:

LOL Lebron is player coach Gm and now super agent. You lot are too funny cheesy cheesy cheesy
What's your point? You think Rich Paul started Klutch Sports all by his lonely without LeNomad's backing? A black man without any basketball background or college education? I'd ask again are you 5?

YulisCromwell:

But thats their absolute record. You said lebron is stat padding but the lakers are on a 40+ win pace in the games he played, how is that stat padding?
Stat-padding before or after they had no playoffs hopes?

YulisCromwell:

Yeah they just came out and decided they didnt want to make the playoffs so they made injuries and created fake trade talks grin
Ohhhh please zip it with the excuses. They were the architects of their own misfortune.

LeNomad returned with the Lakers 2 games behind 8th seed with 31 games to go. Every other thing is redundant noise

YulisCromwell:

LOL your illiteracy reminds me of charlie from IASIP. I mentioned double teams and this guy is talking about john stockton cheesy cheesy

You dont understand statistics, there are averages and then their are outliers, on average how much did kcp average with lebron on the court and without lebron

eg the average iq in this thread might be below world average, doesnt mean there arent outliers like myself, capiche?
What does double teaming have to do with streaky shooters? Man you chat a lot of nonsense all the time! Who was getting double teamed when KCP hit 35.

KCP's numbers are not tied to LeNomad. It's not like he is having a career year so what is this I keep hearing about LeNomad?

My friend make we hear word! You and your bare IQ who has it helped? Have you helped yourself never mind others

But Griffin has never said anything bad about lebron and vice versa. Literally everyone in the know from players to gms have refuted this poppycock yet you sit in your beer parlour and create false narratives. There are many GMs in the league who dont get along with lebron, he may be powerful but hes not powerful stop making up stuff.


What's your point? You think Rich Paul started Klutch Sports all by his lonely without LeNomad's backing? A black man without any basketball background or college education? I'd ask again are you 5?
Does that mean lebron runs klutch sports and is in charge of all their decisions? a 5 year old has a better thought process than these wild theories you're throwing about.

Stat-padding before or after they had no playoffs hopes?
He literally just explained that part of the reason he plays is because the NBA has been on him about missing games. He misses games you lot complain that hes cheating fans who pay, he plays hes stat padding. WTF

Ohhhh please zip it with the excuses. They were the architects of their own misfortune.

LeNomad returned with the Lakers 2 games behind 8th seed with 31 games to go. Every other thing is redundant noise
Why were they in that position in the first place? Him returning doesnt mean the team was the same as it was before he went down.


What does double teaming have to do with streaky shooters? Man you chat a lot of nonsense all the time! Who was getting double teamed when KCP hit 35.
This guy doesnt understand how double teaming creates opportunities for shooters and im the one chatting nonsense.

This dude brings out statistical outliers instead of averages to prove a point and im the one chatting nonsense. Do streaky or not do shooters have better opportunities playing with a doubled team player who can pass as well or not?

KCP's numbers are not tied to LeNomad. It's not like he is having a career year so what is this I keep hearing about LeNomad?

My friend make we hear word! You and your bare IQ who has it helped? Have you helped yourself never mind others
How will we know? he didnt play the whole season with lebron.

Actually all of the above. Life is really really good.

First class degree, three certifications in the past year, scheduled to go for masters at the best ranked university in the world in my field so you know... cant complain.

You're the one bringing out Griffin. Where did I say he had anything bad to say about LeNomad. I've named the people who had issues with LeNomad. I'd bet even Luke Walton would be cursing the day he signed for the Lakers

YulisCromwell:

Later you would be chatting megedefegede about IQ. He's an active player so by the book he's not supposed to be actively running the agency. But if you think Rich Paul gets to unclench his buttcheeks without LeNomad's permission then you must be sniffing something fanger

YulisCromwell:

He literally just explained that part of the reason he plays is because the NBA has been on him about missing games. He misses games you lot complain that hes cheating fans who pay, he plays hes stat padding. WTF
Nobody cares why he's playing or why he's not playing. He can shut down for the year for all I care! I had the Lakers missing the playoffs anyway so I could care less what he puts up in meaningless games

YulisCromwell:

Why were they in that position in the first place? Him returning doesnt mean the team was the same as it was before he went down.
Nobody gives a shit! They were 2 games ahead of 10th seed before he got hurt. Don't sit there and act like they were in a fantastic position

If the Lakers were in the weaker East perhaps they are still in playoff contention

More nonsense.

Shooters like KCP are mostly boom or bust. It doesn't matter if you pair them with John Stockton or Magic. One day he's Klay Thompson the next game he goes full bricko mode.

What are KCP's averages? He is a career 11ppg guy scoring 10ppg this season at a 43% clip so what is playing for LeNomad doing to his career?

The outliers prove my point. KCP gets his numbers on a good night LeNomad or no LeNomad so stop attaching credit to LeNomad when he plays well. Simple

YulisCromwell:

How will we know? he didnt play the whole season with lebron.
Who are the great or even good shooters that have had a career year with LeNomad? What are you going to tell us next? LeBron invented fire?

YulisCromwell:

LOL Then players like AD Wall Simmons etc wouldnt sign for him knowing that. He Effd up the lakers chemistry, a move im sure lebron would have preferred to remain quiet, so how exactly is he under lebrons spell? He owes him a lot but Rich paul takes care of his business and thats why hes a super agent now, lebron can only take you so far.

Nobody cares why he's playing or why he's not playing. He can shut down for the year for all I care! I had the Lakers missing the playoffs anyway so I could care less what he puts up in meaningless games

Fantastic or not it was a much better position than when he returned. If they were six games above 500 when he got back theyd still be in playoff contention now.

How can you use his season stats when lebron didnt play for a good number of the total games and his averages in the game lebron played are higher

If it were just KCP Itd be vague but its same for kuzma hart javale etc too so its pretty friggin clear.

Poor chap he's probably scarred for life. Wrong job, wrong time and his career in the NBA dead before it began.

Is this Magic's first season?

Luke Walton was perfectly safe and there were no rumors about his coaching safety till LeCoach Killer showed up. Magic trying to get him sacked now is Magic's way of covering his own behind for the spectacular failure the Lakers have been

Lmaooo. It was a rookie move, the type amateur agents play when they don't recognize their hand. You can't be dropping such announcements with a full year and a half on your client's contract. Not recognizing where you have leverage and where you don't is not a sign of a great agent

I'm telling you all of Rich Paul's contacts he owes to LeNomad's influence. Without him who on earth is Rich Paul? How does he even get in the door

YulisCromwell:

Actually the NBA does and will fine him for missing games. I'm sure he doesnt care what you think.
He could sit for Load management or they concoct some other phony injury like the Pelicans are doing with Anthony Davis currently, the league will do zilch

You're in La-la land. They were 2 games over .500 when he got back. They are 9 games under .500 now. That's the reality not your Alice in Wonderland example there


YulisCromwell:

How can you use his season stats when lebron didnt play for a good number of the total games and his averages in the game lebron played are higher
Tell us his averages! LeNomad has featured in 54 games. That is a 71percent appearance. Enough to make an informed argument. You also have to show how many assists was directly responsible for to KCP

YulisCromwell:

If it were just KCP Itd be vague but its same for kuzma hart javale etc too so its pretty friggin clear.
Will you kip chut!!!

Kuzma is arguably the worst volume 3pt shooter in the league as we speak. From 36% last season sans LeNomad to 30% with him. Can't even be arsed to talk about non-factors like Josh Hart

Actually there have been rumours of magic wanting walton out long before lebron came. After Blatt got sacked the cavs won a chip and went to 3 straight finals. Try again small fry.

Whatever you want to call it, stop blaming lebron for pauls failings.

I'm telling you all of Rich Paul's contacts he owes to LeNomad's influence. Without him who on earth is Rich Paul? How does he even get in the door
If he was bad at his job not even lebrons influence will let players trust him with thier careers.

He could sit for Load management or they concoct some other phony injury like the Pelicans are doing with Anthony Davis currently, the league will do zilch
Like lebron said, he wont cheat the game.

You're in La-la land. They were 2 games over .500 when he got back. They are 9 games under .500 now. That's the reality not your Alice in Wonderland example there
and they would be 5 games under if they were still six games under. Lberons injury left them worse off period.

As at february with lebron on the court

KCP: 39.8% on 7.2 attempts
Hart: 39.3% on 5.2 attempts
