**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[hardens beard]

Why doesn’t Anthony Davis impact translate to wins?

 

[sohi 23]

Because obviously the Lakers are a better fit from a marketing standpoint than the Clippers.

But okay guy you got it. I was rooting for Bron back when the majority of the Laker fan base was feeding into a contrived player comparison between Bron and a guy he's clearly much better than.

So first playing in La > playing with the Lakers

Then it’s
Brand of the Lakers > brand of the Clippers.

ALA gotta get their **** straight.
Y’all ain’t making no sense.

 

[antidope]

We're you one of the ones talking **** about us Laker fans who were team tank a couple years ago?

Unless you were one of the "The Lakers will never tank" who within one season pivoted to "Tanking is a genius strategy" then no. I championed more for the Sixers tanking than the majority of Sixers fans on here.

If you're not going to win, or have a solid foundation to do so in the near future...tank.

Cause hierarchies aren't a thing. Got it.

Has he ever anchored an elite defense?

 

[MVP]

Worst "analyst" on TV

Lakers had every reason to tank the past few years. Sixers owned their first

Only so much a big can do without an elite wing guy next to win.

 

[hardens beard]

Nope

He has an elite 2 way PG tho

 

[antidope]

He has an elite 2 way PG tho

Does he really though? I like Jrue but elite? Nah

 

[MVP]

AD is basically an upgraded KG. And we see what limited success he had from a winning standpoint before getting to Boston (sans that 2004 season).

 

[hardens beard]

Does he really though? I like Jrue but elite? Nah

1st team all defense while averaging 20 and 9

 

[BIG FISH]

It’s lowkey funny when dudes in here say “why would AD help LeBron’s legacy” as if AD wouldn’t benefit waaaay more from a legacy standpoint from playing with LeBron

 

[addict4sneakers]

Does he really though? I like Jrue but elite? Nah

Jrue is the best 2 way guard in the league by far

 

[BIG FISH]

AD is basically an upgraded KG. And we see what limited success he had from a winning standpoint before getting to Boston.

KG consistently made it to the playoffs atleast. He even made it to the WCF as the 1 seed, something AD has never even sniffed.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I didn’t see the game but I’m curious the see what AD did in the 4th. Every Pels game I’ve seen this year he’s watched Jrue and Julius shoot the ball

 

[amitt5504]

Subject change lol was this ever mentioned?



Has this ever happened before?

 

[MVP]

KG consistently made it to the playoffs atleast. He even made it to the WCF as the 1 seed, something AD had never even sniffed.

KG did that in year 9. And AD has been injured a lot which can account for some of the lack of playoff appearances.

I think it's style of play.

****** kill James Harden, but he's been 50 plus wins 3 of the last 4 years as the only AS on the team. It's very hard to win big if your best player isn't really a playmaker, I think.

AD is great(duh), but I'm not sure you can win big if your best player isn't a high level playmaker.

I could be wrong on this, but off first thought that seems to be the case.

With Wally Szczerbiak and nem

 

[addict4sneakers]

Injuries aside, the Pels shouldn’t be 15-20 with a transcendent talent, Jrue and Julius. Something isn’t adding up

 

[lawdog1]

Lol at being a clipper fan. That’s like bragging about wearing sketchers

Is it? Do the Clippers fans on here actually “brag” about it?

Basically you’re saying Giannis >>> AD

CC HIM

Their depth stinks. Combined with injuries and it's curtains.
