Danny green tried to warn us that Lebron and AD would need rest after a short off season
we have Harrell, we have sneaky talented Cacok, we shoulda kissed Howard’s *** to come back...all to rest AD as much as possible. It was clear he wasn’t there mentally and physically. Taking only jumpers all year. Vogel pushed him over and over. Leading to this injury. Our next 4 years is on the line now and rests on his Achilles.
What’s worse is despite playing them high mins we are still 4th seed

Not enough. Vogel went through large part of season with Harrell averaging like 15 mins a game. Instead he would play Gasol 26 mins sometimes and AD and Lebron 38+ all to beat OKC by 1 lol

BKN's not done adding bigs me thinks.
They're going after Drummond and McGee.
It's imperative we add size otherwise we won't beat BKN.

think we need wing/shooting a bit more than a big.
i think AD can play drummond and Griffin off the floor lol he for sure can play McGee of the floor lmao

We need a wing too no doubt cause wes freakin Matthew's gettin bout as much playoff PT as his daddy. But hell yeah we need another wing, 6'7" with long arms preferably. Cmon back home T.Az.
But we need a Big more. Bkn knows if we don't contest the lane or if we got nobody but AD altering shots, they will penetrate like crazy and that will free up their shooters even more.
But if we got bigs who can make Harden, KD, and Kyrie think twice when their within 10 feet of the basket, it then allows our wing defenders and switchers to be that much more effective. Gasol ain't it. Harrell ain't it. We need a Dwight Howard presence to give AD that much needed support. We need that Mychal Thompson type banger or Dwight type shot blocker. That's a role on any championship team and we have no one to fill it.
Gotta win that inside-out battle.
And Brooklyn's not done adding bigs because they tryna make it ultra hard for AD to get anything inside. And they already have the advantage on the perimeter as it stands now.
Now if they end up with the size and interior advantage too, I honestly believe we would be in trouble if we come out the west cause it ain't gonna be easy this year. Target on our backx.

I don't know what he's talking about. All I see is Kuzma putting the clamps on Steph

Most underrated thing about Kuz is that he's a legit 6'10 out there.

Drummund is the only available big they could add that would move the needle, his Salary has made him underrated imo. Even then adding Drummond into that lineup makes them easier to defend & clogs up lanes.
Also they would have Jordan/Drummond/Claxton vs AD/Gasol/3rd big we will add (Damion Jones Looked active as hell last night)
The rest of their size is KD & Blake vs our Lebron/Keef/Trez/Kuz
We would still have the advantage in size

I haven't seen enough from Damian Jones for the Lakers to keep him (tbh, they probably weren't going to keep him if he played well).

Trez was a monster last night. Seems like he is capable of doing this often.

Swing man right?
Yea all we're going to get unfortunately. As well as the Earned ones. Going to get an AD regardless once it drops on Fanatics.
