Show me where I said feed the ball to Aldridge in the post 20 times a game?
Let's clarify bro....
In playoff situations when....
KD resting, DJ in foul trouble, but Jim doing his thang, Kyrie doing his thang, but BKN getting killed inside by Bron, AD, Embiid cause Claxton ain't ready and Bkn still down 8 in the second half, who you think Nash and MDA gonna run pick n roll/pop with in order to seize momentum?
10 points from Aldridge on 5-8 mid and long range shooting in 12 important playoff minutes in a time when you need a threat to score is exactly what you got him for

She was right on for saying nothing initially, as for her hoping it could work (and it then being fine) is credit to you

The context was being a first option as a traditional post up big type. Ad is def not like that

If everyone is healthy, the Nets are coming out of the east. BG and LMA are just looters in a riot who’ll get 10-13 points against an opposing team’s bench.
The west is between the Lakers, Jazz, and Nuggets. Clippers are still frauds. Suns don’t have enough (any?) playoff experience outside of CP3.

1. KD will be on the floor every minute bron is.
2. Embiid is getting triple every touch. He averaged 30/15 against the Celtics in a phone booth and got swept. He can’t beat the nets by himself
3. AD is going to eat IF he’s healthy. And Aldridge isn’t going to stop him from doing so.
again. If Brooklyn wins it’s because KD/harden/myrie. That’s it.

I never said for the stars to "defer to LMA. " you twisting it now to fit your narrative. Let's stick with my original argument that teams NEED pieces such as bigs like Aldridge to complement stars in order to win a chip because without Legit bigs to complement your stars, you ain't winning ****. Look at the Celtics, for example. Damny Ain't don't believe in bigs, that's why Bos is where Bos is even though they got a 3-headed monster in Tatum-Brown-Kemba. I'd be shaking my damn head if I were a Celtic fan.

I like Claxton but it’s going to be hard to trust a second year guy on a championship or bust team. But I think he’s their best big

Nets have the flexibility to play any style against any team or maybe more importantly teams will have to adjust to them or get ran off the floor. That's invaluable.

why y’all bringing up the Celtics. They are lead by some kids man. They aren’t contenders. They didn’t win last year because they were big deficient.

Low risk high reward move for the Lakers. They need bodies and at that price, not bad at all. Gives Drummond a chance to compete for a championship and play with Bron who will make him a better player, probably maximize his value on the open market.

If Drummond sucks just dont play him Vogel has shown he adjusts pretty well based on matchups.

Curious to see how Drummond plays when he defers and is in a winning environment.

1. So what? BKN loaded up on bigs because they know who the target is - AD and the Lakers' bigs is who they know they gotta match up with.
2. Embiid can't beat the Nets by himself which is why Philly UPGRADED their roster this year by adding a big (Dwight), and a 3 & D (Green) and a specialist (Seth Curry). Hence, fulfill the Formula. The point stands, a team with superstars NEEDS LEGIT BIGS TO COMPETE because you gotta match up with LAL bottom line.
3. It's a team game. Show me where I implied Aldridge would stop AD lol. You putting words in my mouth bro. Stop the nonsense. It will be THE COMBINATION of KD, DJ, LMA, and BG that is needed to WEAR DOWN Davis and make it harder for him so he dont6have it easy all the time. It's playoff basketball, playoff type strategies.

Oh and Bam killed the Celtics because he blew up every pick and roll and was a mean lob threat. He wasn’t a beast on the block. They werent spamming Bam touches on the block. He was cooking on DHO’s because he’s skilled

Where did I say a big is required to be the number one option in order to win a chip? LOL, again twisting the narrative.
But let's grab a list of the bigs on those championship teams from the last decade and replace them with the Zubac's and Theis' of the world.

Hornets have a better record and are being lead by 2 former Celtics that were 4th options
Maybe they need a coaching change
