Anybody outside of Kyrie, harden and kd are just role players.
I'd rather have high iq role players than the g leaguers they were rolling out in the beginning of the year.

Three of the highest usage players of all time.... they have about 20 games left to get acclimated with each other, added guys who have spent the majority of their careers being "Stars" & asking them to come in & be role players, Rookie head coach (GUIDED BY DANTONI), Best big is possibly a second year player with no experience & Still haven't answered any of their defensive needs........

Nothing i mentioned seems like an attribute of a championship team, but we're gonna see

I shoulda put more bread down on that Nets Lakers future bet before the season.

Danny Ainge with the perpetual Paul Walker perspective

It doesn't matter because who plays bully ball anymore though?

Bron, when the situation calls for. There's only a select few who can assert themselves inside during moments in a playoff game when the team needs a couple easy buckets to either stop the other team's momentum and slow the game down or seize momentum.

Embiid can do it if he wanted to, Dwight is effective at it from a defensive standpoint, Giannis can bully his way into the lane and nobody will stop him.

Zion is coming.

fam....nobody is fearing toddler legs Lamarcus Aldridge

 

[trynafeelmink]

Ainge just lucky Tatum is a franchise player and Brown is a perfect compliment to him. All this pump faking he did through free agency

Tatum is the only reason that man still has his job if we're being honest

Ring chasing at 27. Woof.

Is it really ring chasing, though? Of the 3 teams it came down to (BOS, LAC, LAL), LAL was probably the best situation for him tbh.

Bruh didn't give up a dime beyond taxes and gets to compete for a ring. Nice.

So it seems like Drummond is good now ?

Exactly. He basically got all his money for this season from the Cavs. Got a starting spot on a title contender and still going to cash out in the summer.

LMA will be their 4th post up option and Nash and company ain’t about that post up life

Of course they not, and it really don't matter if LMA pick n pop with Harden is a 4th option. Point is, Aldridge is a threat and it makes BKN's bigs that much better when matched up against LAL and Phi.

And it's a luxury to have that Aldridge option (instead of Claxton) in the playoffs because now LMA forces AD or Dwight or whomever else is guarding him to have to pay more attention on D. LMA can still score effectively from 15-22 ft out.

Just like in boxing styles makes fights and BKN can go to war playing many styles.

Hence why Pelinka chose Trez over Dwight. He tryna be more versatile offensively. Drummond now replaces the Dwight role while Lakers got more offensive firepower with Trez off the bench.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Lakers wouldn’t need Drummond if Gasol was going to get me the 10/10 broswizxle promised me

 

[trynafeelmink]

Rondo, Dwight, Javale were quite literally guys people laughed at the Lakers for signing. One championship run & they were being sought out by contenders

Drummond plays his cards right this postseason & some stupid team is gonna give him 25+ mil a year. Smartest play he could have made imo
