Who stops us

 

[pmatic]

Reddish and JHS.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

JHS ain’t got NO CONFIDENCE out there kid looks depressed. He don’t even look like he want to be out there.

Reddish in mid season form

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I need to see a lot of cuts.

This game tonight, preseason or not, was pathetic

74-132

Double digit loss incoming opening night vs the Big Bad TWolves.

If you don't *profanity* stop playing.


No AD, no Bron, no AR, no Rui, no DLo, not even Knecht or Vincent.

Breakdown of the 2-4 Lakers roster that needs Major upgrades

Non-Tradeable Assets:

Bron- dependable

AD - dependable

Reaves - dependable

Knecht - already dependable

The Expendables

DLo - open for business during the reg season. Closed during the playoffs

Rui - average player during reg season. Below average player during the playoffs. Little to no improvement since 2022.

Reddish - "if only he can be half the player Devean George was"

Vando - "the best ability is availability." Everyone in my 40-and-over league can shoot better.

Wood - "the best ability is availability. "

Castleton - "if only he can be half the center Travis Knight was"

Max Lewis - "Who?"

JHS - Junior High School player deluxe

Put em on a PIP

Christie - the Kamala Harris of the Lakers. 3 years in and we still don't know who he is and what kind of player we got.

Vincent - how long before he's on the injured list?

Hayes - His future success as an impact big in this league hinges upon Redick's ability to develop him

Bronny - G-League here we come!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your 2025 Los Angeles Lakers

No AD, no Bron, no AR, no Rui, no DLo, not even Knecht or Vincent.

Excuses or reasons?


No Bron, no AD, no Rui, no DLo, no Westside, no Gabe....still does not excuse the fact they lost by 60. Lakers shouldn't have lost by that big a margin had this squad possessed any real talent 5 thru 15

Even with all dem you just named who didnt play tonight, it's still gonna be a L vs Minny.

There is nothing impressive enough about this roster to make one think they could actually compete in the Westerm Conference pkayoffs except for Westisde Knecht, AD, Bron, and Hillbilly Kobe aka White Mamba aka AR-15 aka The future All-stAR.

Man I really like this Oliveri kid

Man I really like this Oliveri kid

He can’t be 6-3

Six degrees of separation, Olivari went to college and played for my old HS coach. Pretty cool.

 

[pmatic]

I think Olivari will be cut, but when Wood returns and Koloko is cleared to return, I would cut Castleton from his two-way and sign Olivari. He's shown enough as a shooter and even pesky defender to warrant a two-way.

They're dumb if they don't cut Castleton ASAP. Olivari is getting scooped up instantly

Lonnie come home

Get max Lewis outta here

3rd string players won’t get much pt. I like LW but I think there’s a reason why he’s on the outside of the league looking in

Our roster is filled with 4th stringers

Cant believe swizzle brought Kamala to this convo. Dont know who she is?! I guess we’re not counting all the years she served in the courts and the positives she done quietly in the WH. dont wanna argue about this one, just statin’.

 

[grittyman]

Our roster is filled with 4th stringers

Starters: AR/DLo
Bench: Max/Gabe

Lonnie would be behind those 4 if/when everyone is healthy

I’m more than happy to discuss the presidential election via DM if you’d like.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Signing Quincy and waiving Castleton the bum big man is the first smart move the Lakers have done this offseason and preseason aside from firing Ham and drafting Knecht.

All good brotha. You’re entitled to your opinion as am I. All respect on my end

I love it when folks have that same mindset where we can respectfully respect each other’s beliefs on politics no matter our differences in opinion.

 

[pmatic]

Olivari has to change #41. You're not Glen Rice.
