The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

Your systems are fried

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Like I said before, the Lakers offseason was a test.

It was a test to see who understands basketball and who doesn't.


Did you pass or did you fail?

If you failed have you perhaps considered becoming a fan of like rock paper scissors or hop scotch?

Something a bit less complex.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Your friendly neighborhood "contrarian" tried to warn you ungrateful laker fans.

But you ain't wanna listen...instead you were chanting ROOB PELINKAAA as he destroyed your franchise

and ruined one of the few remaining elite years of the greatest player of our generation.

 

[thebagman]

Yes. I’m clearly an emotional mess.

I’m sure the stress of having to root for a cringey coward like LeBron could get to you, yes. Which team jersey is next for you guys? Where’s he running to or manipulating his next batch of help?

To be fair to Rob, that player didn't exactly do him any favors either. Rob was stupid, Bron was incredibly selfish

You do know LeGM holds his franchises hostage, right? Those roster moves fall on him probably even more so. One of the reasons Magic dipped, he saw the Forrest through the trees.

I find it amusing how they assume anyone who doesn’t agree LeBron is the worst person ever is a LeBron Stan and Lakers fan

[WASHED KING]

Yea not even close. This Laker team has a TON of talent. Remember LeBron’s cringey IG post about “keep that same energy”



Wizards were 19-63 in the 2001 season.

MJ after three years of sitting on a couch, drinking booze and smoking cigars, compiling atrophy and becoming ridiculously out of shape decided to come down to the floor to lace them up again.

Come back trail gets delayed in summer due to Artest breaking his ribs. Where it was reported he was playing like his old self before the set back.

38 - 39 year old Yoda Floor Jordan was the ONLY player besides prime 23 year old Kobe to average 25/5/5 with elite defense.

Old Jordan (2 years older than Bron is now) had the Wiz on pace to make the playoffs before a season and ultimately career derailment knee injury which limited his effectiveness and even then he improved the Wizards record by 18 games. Yet only played 60 games.

37-45 final record.

His talent on the roster?
Hamilton - 20/3/3 on 44% - 63 games
Whitney - 10/2/4 on 42%
Alexander - 10/3/2 on 47% - 56 games

No HOFers, no perennial all stars, no 3rd best PER player of all time, no Triple Double King, no former scoring champs, no former MVPS.

2022 Lakers
31-48

Davis - 23/10/2 on 53% - 40 games
Westbrook - 19/7/7 on 44%
Monk - 13/3/3 on 47%
Anthony - 13/4/1 on 44%

37 y/o LeBron - 30/8/6 on 52% - 56 games
39 y/o Jordan - 23/6/5 on 42% - 60 games

Now, statistically LeBron was better. To the untrained eye. Late 90s through early 2000s is the most physical, slow and difficult scoring climate basketball has seen.

23 ppg in that league could easily be 28-30 ppg in todays open, pace and space, no physicality and no rim protection league.

But the reason Mike’s team, although severely less talented by comparison did better?

Jordan played defense, LeBron doesn’t.

Bron sand bags and hides himself on defense so he can conserve energy to chase accumulation stats for his Zoomers and dumb Bronvestite Stans backing his self anointed GOAT argument.

Or in this years case a scoring average at the expense of playing winning team basketball.

LeBron’s much maligned and scapegoat third option, IE Westbrick, is LEAPS and BOUNDS better than 2002 RIP Hamilton. And Westbrick has been durable enough to be there for basically every game.

LeBron is quite the talent but he’s a competitive coward and ultimately a loser.

Jordan messed his knee up being two years older than current LeBron, 3 years of atrophy and being out of shape, and even after his injury came back to try and help the Wiz. Dropping his averages and efficiency in the process statistically.

Meanwhile LeBeta protected his averages at the expense of his team. Sat out games for a meaningful playoff push. Dropped hints at AS break about leaving another team. And just the way he quit and folded in last years first round, or as he’s always done. Turns and runs like the coward he is with his tail between his legs.

When the going gets tough, LeBron gets to quitting and leaving.

IDK how anyone with any discernible eye for character not only respects but could even like this clown?

Ok see this is what we’re not gunna do.

Spreading lies to boost up the pitiful thing Jordan did in Washington

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Irving died so Thybulle could tackle opponents and avg 3.3 ppg

 

[Based Jesus]

thebagman just DM'd me to inform me that he has ALREADY been suspended from the thread

Already setting records. We at ALA are very impressed
