i like Jerami Grant but 3.5 rpg for someone his size and athleticism is unacceptable.

I guess Edey gonna have to dominate the Lakers instead of dominating other teams since it looks like Lakers not tryna be serious and go after a legit center.
Good luck AD. Hope you stay healthy bud. Cause you gonna be on your own in the paint once again.

If we draft Edey, I can see JJ actually playing him unlike Darvin burying Max and Castleton on the bench when we needed some quickness on Murray and some size for 5-10 minutes. Darvin was on some old school gotta pay his dues type ****

Obviously his longest stint with any team is at the end of his career when teams aren’t exactly clamoring to have a 35-44 year old getting the super max for 9 years

Yeah this bout to be a mess. That "I'm better than everybody" attitude ain't gonna work when you got zero resume. It damn sure ain't gonna work with the locker room.
It's gonna be interesting how long him and LeBron stay buddies. The coach and player dynamic ain't the same as doing a podcast.

Yet we'll max him out and be genuinely confused when we come up short after each year.

After reading the last 10ish pages I wonder to you guys…
Is everyone in here still Lakers fans or is this just a place where therapy occurs for negative and death of Lakers fandom.
At this point there’s no reason to wish for the worst or expect the I told you so moment.
I’m hoping things work out with JJ. He seems smart and passionate. Let’s see if he can learn through his mistakes. Us Lakers fans are tough and delusional I tell ya lmao.
Less breaking down and honestly guessing things or assuming things that we just don’t know. Being just a fan can go a long way with anxiety.
Anyway Hate on!!

Replace 10ish pages with “the social media era” and this is spot on… and it’s not just an NT thing

Translation - need players who can play both ends.
So DLo and Vando, you know what to do…

Oh, we bringin up players that only play one side of the ball here?
Cuz you seemed to forget one.......
I wonder why.

Weren’t his numbers better and more representative in Denver?
And Valanciunas fell off a cliff. I hope the Lakers don’t fall into that trap.

Since you asked…
Because it’s possible to win with a star who’s not a two way player if they’re surrounded by two way players but it’s far more difficult (or maybe impossible) to win with a two way star surrounded by one way role players.
Mostly looking at playoff basketball…in the regular season I think you can win just off being the better offensive or 3 point shooting team.

redick is media trained well. He seems like a good communicator but wake me up when the assistant coaches are announced. I imagine he’ll ask Stan Van Gundy to join but it’s late in the process and he’s going to need a lot of help.
As long as we have AD x Bron, a championship is within sight in my eyes. Just gotta smash the margins and hope luck break our way.
Go Lakers

Ahhhh, I see.
Surround the guy makin 55+ million a year who only plays hard on offense with multiple guys who make a fraction of that but expect them to contribute on both sides or they are tossed aside.
It's good to be King. Get your own rules and built in excuses, keep the blame on everyone else.....
Kevin Durant pretty prophetic.
