I want to revisit this.
AD is going to be in the HoF. So he's up already?
Or if we would have won in 2004, Glove & Pedo would have their jerseys up?

Didn't realize he was in the Hall (oF very good). Interesting.
Good point, but I think the 1 year only might limit that.
AD should be locked with at least 4-5 years (Wilt)
Not sure how a 1 year stint would be viewed.

So...
- Ring
- HoF
- Min 1 year
Is that the criteria then? Like
lovehateself
said: Richmond. 
This HoF + ring criteria, is that your own estimation/observation? Or did you hear Lakers brass say that? I probably should have started with that question.

I've heard it/read it somewhere, might even have been a quote in a book.
But it's also self explanatory. Fish has 5 but not up there. Every other franchise and he's up there, not us. Same with Coop, AC, Byron, Horry, Fox etc.
Ring + HOF. Not sure the tenure part. Mitch played like 8 minutes that postseason. Not sure that counts.

None of them are in the Hall.

That's exactly what I'm trying to hammer out.
If we're saying "It's these 2 things", then it's those 2 things, always. If we're saying "It's these 2 things... plus also this other thing... except at times when it's not those 3 things… because of this 4TH thing," then it's no longer those first 2 things.

"Hall of Fame"
Operative word, fame.
Gotta be a "famous star" or "super star" to make the hall, rings notwithstanding. Word to Carl's Jr
Sucks Fish and Coop and their 5 Lakers rings apiece won't get their jerseys retired.

Nevermind.
Looks like the Lakers awarded him an honorary ring.

Except when it's not, like Mitch.
I don't think you're getting what I'm saying.
This isn't an argument but it's turning into one. Not what I'm looking for.
So it's already established that
HoF
Ring
is false. That's not the criteria. So what is?
HoF
Contribute to a championship year
Starter for a certain percentage of games? 75%?

Suns shouldn’t have traded for KD,that was dumb.

Mitch played 1 season in LA.
He totaled 2 minutes in the playoffs.
He gets a ring, but I guess 1 year isn't enough. Payton and Predator at least played in the playoffs that year.

I'm not gonna say they shouldn't have done it but the way people was crowning 'em was crazy. KD is a all time great but when he don't have a 73 win roster, his playoff record ain't much. He just got embarrassed by the Celtics.

The idea of KD is better than actually having KD at this point…People get enamored w/the aesthetic of his game,but he doesn’t win you anything.

If we lose the next 2 the season is over.
Rockets just got their first win in hella games over the Celtics. We should take em seriously. I wonder if AD plays that game.

Lol imagine watching the games and having belief about your team and then saying the lakers gonna lose to pelicans and rockets.
If so, the season is over and better we know now than hanging on for dear hope
