[Flamboyant_Luv23]

I thought Trevor Ariza was supposed to be the Lakers savior

nay, it’s K. Nunn.

Y’all cant judge the Lakeshow without their real point guard.

 

[getback]

Damn tough news for Zo and Bulls fans

damnnnn

Joel Embiid in 24 games since returning from Covid: 31/11/4 on 51% shooting from the field. Sixers are 16-8 in those games

mans on a mission

also last night embiid was talking bout how in the 1st game of szn he bumped knees and that is why he got off to slow start and was not able to shoot jumpers like he is now

 

[frshstunna]

they say Russ actually left before the rest of the players came to the locker room postgame so like stormed off no shower, etc

look at this Tom foolery. Mane needed permission to make a coaching move

FREE FRANK VOGEL

At 44 mil this season and most likely 47 mil next year, I would have liked to hear the front office conversation on putting him on the bench. They have nobody to blame but Bron, he made the trade for Russ.

 

[CJMcfly26]

I kinda like this deal to be honest if this was to go down.

 

[pums]

Imagine having a career night but the guy you’re defending gives you 50 in less than 30 mins.

Morey needs to swallow his pride send this man some reinforcements. Could make a legit run this season if he just ships Ben off for some reasonable pieces. Don't squander any more of these MVPish Embiid seasons.

We're back to the Eric Maynor era I love it.

It has to be former teammates of Russ from those phony triple double seasons, who wanted a coach with this attitude instead of being focused on coaching a scheme for him to stat hunt.

MVP Russ getting benched down the stretch for a undrafted white rookie

Yikes

these posts, posted at the same time, is perfection

i need an NFT of this

I have been quiet about the role MVP played as the OG Hype Man of the Rust Trade since it went down and conductor of the “This season is going to be fine” train for the first 2.5 months of season because recently I have been genuinely concerned about his well-being due to his aprubt disappearance.

I bit my tongue because Mr. “Look at all my fans, calling for me” being absent at a time like this has mean he’s seriously ill and incapable of posting. After all, he hasn’t been seen around these parts for the past 11 days (during which the Lakers lost 4 of 5 by the way) which is surely a coincidence that aligns with the timing of his illness.

I was wrong. Turns out he’s decided to retreat to the Lakers Safe Space and not participate in the NBA thread at the moment. MVP is running from the grind

Can’t even post the Homer Simpson or Grandpa Simpson gifs because at least they had the courage to show their faces. Sad.

It’s Nunn. He’s our savior. Just wait. League in trouble

 

[picasso swerve]

Im sick. How long is recovery for this? Is this season ending?

im fully starting to get on board with this as well i rarely spoke on this topic when it would be brought up in here

at first i liked the petty morey aspect but now its just getting tiring tbh and watching this team its deff still missing that "something".. Cant expect seth to score 20+ every night and damn sure cant expect tobias to take over a game in crunch time

i hope a move is made soon, gotta take some pressure off embiid to save him for end of the season. He is doing waaaay to much right now

East is blast to watch the race right now and its wide open for a few teams to get that top seed

hopefully something does go down im ready to shake the team up

 

[datznasty]

this what its all about anyways; the reason the Thunder have 40 picks in the next 7 years

Embiid definitely need help. He's gonna tire out.

We stink
Get Rustington off my team

 

[king j]

Should’ve never done the Russ trade.if they wanted an upgrade from Kuz & Trez should’ve done this instead and still would’ve atleast kept KCP and probably Caruso as well

Bron & AD some dummies man
