2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

[BIG LEEMELONE]

It wasn't tht over Caruso. It was tht over like $20 Ms of luxury tax. Same people who think it was Kuzma over Ingram

 

[blakep267]

For a player of his caliber, I’ve heard way too much of Patrick Beverly this off season. Please hurry up season

 

[addict4sneakers]

The old “I saw the box score” and thus know more than those who actually watched the games take. Cool

Why do y’all do this is? Being a fan of a team doesn’t make you smarter. Doesn’t make you watch the game differently.

24% he was spotting up
23% they put him in pick and roll
19% of his possessions were in transition.
8% he ISO’s

He just ain’t like that. He wasn’t good.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Utah is obviously a better situation for somebody like THT. He'll improve this season

Remember when Lakers fans hated pat bev?

I’ve always loved Pat Bev

 

[getback]

At least the Lakers got a dog to make up for AD who is hurt half the time and doesn't look like he wants to be playing the other half. Russ and Bev are actual competitors despite their shortcomings.

Gotta stop saying Rust is a competitor. He’s out for himself

Russ be out there competing against efficiency and team chemistry

Damn that sucks for Chet man.

I’m not trying to sound like a Debbie downer fellas but honestly I really think he’s gonna be a bust.

He’ll be injured all the time.

Too frail. It was obvious

Hopefully I got exposed for this take. I really do. But damn man.

And yeah I know KD was frail too but still. Chet is ******.

 

[dman14]

Teams definitely putting in their contract not letting their players play in these pro ams

Great pickup for the mighty Los Angeles Lakers franchise. Just a matter of time before we win another 1-2 titles with Bron, AD, and the crew. And just a matter of time before Westbrick is gone too.

Beverley is a much better fit with LAL than Westbrick and THT.

The squad is short on veteran leaders. Team has no enforcer type guys, which makes this a perfect move for the Lakers.

As we all know every championship team has one or two veteran role player(s) who gets on the other team's nerves...

Draymond
David West
Rambis
Kupchak
Cooper
McHale
M.L. Carr
Kite
Kieff Morris
Tucker
Dwight
DFish
Fox
Artest
Rodman
Mahorn
Laimbeer
Elie
Mad Max
Ben Wallace
Bowen
Zo Mourning

Danny Ainge lost yet again to the purple n gold

“Will Giannis ever win a title with the bucks?”
“No. The Lakers have Talen-Horton Tucker”
What an all time bad take

 

[datznasty]

I get where you're coming from. Some beefs are legitimate & personal.

On the other hand, it's two 33 year old men. If they want to win, they'll tolerate each other. They don't even need to be cool off the court.

Also, I feel like neither player is at the level of asking their permission before making a trade.

it's personal.

He could have ended Russ's career, did cost him a potential championship and however much time he missed. The dudes take every chance to take shots at each other in the media and have to be separated every game they play against each other

I think they legitimately don't like each other. And obviously they play the same position so I dont even think theres an option for put your ego aside and root for your teammate's success, since it will always come at the expense of each other.

Yea pro ams done.

Already plotting on when to sit SGA and Giddey

Again sucks for Chet

 

[nikekid6]

Damn Chet, gotta be one of an nba teams biggest fears

 

[allergic2broke]

Blame lebron

 

[rolaholic]

League's about to crack down on players in these pro-ams...

 

[tay1]

Always sucks to hear a rookie missing their rookie season. A foot injury at that.

Amazes me that this guy has a platform. He’s by far the worse. His takes. His face. Everything.
