And if the lakers dont go for a max player and decide to split the money for solid role players, who would you like to see them go for?

LarcPickerin:
Another dilemma for the laker fans, if kyrie goes to brooklyn and the snitch decides to leave, would you take him?

DeeMain:
You meant AD?

Khanben:
His defense around the rim has been better, sometime next season the Lakers will need a rim protector who can shoot three's other than AD.

aliondo:
Man has improved oh...

Khanben:
The biggest steal will be if they can get Malcolm brogdon and Brook Lopez away from Milwaukee. These two will mesh perfectly with lebron and AD.

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

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?

Hardetayour:
Watch Anthony Davis become a spot up shooter.

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

LarcPickerin:
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:
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.

KarnThornheart:
The dilemma for the lakers. Kemba or Butler? Thats a tough one, Kemba is a better shooter which the lakers will obviously need but butler is an amazing defender, has loads of heart and is an all round dog. I guess it depends on who they sign to fill out the rest of the team. Finding the right fit is very important, more than just throwing in a bunch of stars together. I'd really like to see Javale, KCP and maybe bullock and rondo back. Everyone else can go. Get as many shooters as possible to replace them.

What an amazing position to be in.

With A.D and another superstar joining LeBron and kuzma, suddenly I am beginning to miss the warriors and I am a Lakers fan . It would have been nice to have two superteams go at each other. The NBA is simply a league of superteams and a few exceptions in between.

Meanwhile the pelicans look tasty, lonzo and Ingram are still 21yrs old shit! They have enormous room for growth especially Ingram. The pelicans have 2 potential superstars on their hands with zion and Ingram. A pass first floor general in lonzo. A borderline all-star in in jrue holiday that can offer veteran leadership or be flipped for further juicy assets. A 4th pick, and a stash of first round picks.
These guys have assets, young stars, and cap space. They will be in prime position in the future to make trades for superstars. And they have a great GM.
The pels may well be a championship team in 3yrs.

Eruditor:
Fate was like take Klay and Looney out. We won game 2. Take Looney back we lost games 3 &4 (dodgy officiating et al). Fate relaxes like Raptors got this. Then KD and Klay come back..we are leading healthy..fate takes KD..we still win. Game 6 we are winning healthy and are sure to win. Fate takes Klay out. At this rate, if we had won game 6. Steph would have lost his ankles and then Draymond would have been suspended.

We submit to fate and trust that the future will reward us.

SmooshCHN:
Not everyone's as weak as you. Imagine a warriors loss is lighting up your life like this. Must be dark in there. I've tried enough for you. I'll be paying attention to those who know basketball here.

Eruditor:
Boogie can go anywhere he pleases. I said what GSW said which is that he will be offered that $6M if no one else gives him the money he is looking for. I am not sure he is at the top of any GSW supporter's list. I would take Rudy Gay over him - every time and they don't even play the same position.

What I need is another solid scorer to help during the regular season. Curry and Draymond can rally the squad to the playoffs. Then a healthy KD and Klay will be back to take us to a first championship at San Francisco where we will finally get to win 3 straight en route to 3 peating.

Eruditor:
Then what is Kyle Lowry?

I can educate but I cannot cure chronic ignorance.

If Klay being a first time all star on a basic salary with iffy finals performances is a superstar. What is Kyle lowry with multiple all star appearances, many huge games and a $100M 3 year contract? Lol.

At least, you did not try to defend Lebron who has won nothing without super stars whereas Curry has 1.

Eruditor:
All those fringe players were not key. We were top heavy. Outside of KD, SC and Klay we had no other true scorers. That was the biggest issue. Cousins could have been that but the man is still recovering. I heard GSW will offer him the $6M one year option if no club gives him what he wants the following year. If he stays healthy he will be immense.

But like I said, Cook and Jerebko were defensive liabilities and then could not score when they were left free. That was huge. Shaun L has one more year but I hope he baulks and decides to leave now to give us that salary cap space..he let his team down.

Eruditor:
That GSW lost.

See how asinine you are. Any player that has a 30+ game is a superstar. And you are trying to troll.

LOL.

Number of rings without superstars? Curry 1. Lebron 0

SmooshCHN:
Stop giving these two attention abeg. A whole week has been dedicated to people like them August 1-7 isn't far.

Eruditor:
And he made all of 5 pts in a closeout game 6.

LOOOOL

Eruditor:
The people that shot good shots why did they have 22pts (3 of which were last-second free throws?).

Answer on post card.

When he meets stern defence indeed.

chic2pimp:
A40 is fine. No reason for Him to hide as He has never claimed to be Warriors Fan. It just seems that way as He is Anti Lebron. Anyone/Team that can stop Bron from getting more Chips is a Friend of A40s.

LarcPickerin:
Ahh sh-t, here we go again, steady986, what did i tell you?

Eruditor:
lol

he plays to win. On his bad day he still shoots better than Lebron. If Steph had 38 FGA yesterday he would have had 40+ points and the Warriors would have still lost.

Funny, Steph needs good players lol but you are begging AD and Kyrie and even Kawhi to join him so he will win.

LOOOOOL

Eruditor:
Curry won 14/15 without superstars. Tell me when Lebron won without superstars. I am waiting.

Hardetayour:
Eruditor, die thus matter. Dont feed the troll.

Lets talk way forward. What roster change would u make for next season.

SmooshCNN, CuteRedd, pointguardusa etc.

Eruditor:
As soon as Klay went down, Raptors decided to swarm Curry to force the ball out of his hands. He was making the right plays by passing the ball to the right players but sadly only Iggy and to a lesser degree Cousins made them pay. The other players were useless. That was the reason the game was close. Of course, when a rhythm player is not shooting he gets out of rhythm and the shots become iffy. See how Lowry stopped shooting well after his foul troubles?

Whether Curry hit the game winner or not, it would have been postponing the evil day. Without Klay, we would have needed Kawhi to call in sick on the game 7 morning to make the game a contest. The Raptors had too many scorers compared to our team without KD and Klay. We could have won without one of the 2. But stood no chance without both.
