THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[BIG LEEMELONE]

In this thread people think Caruso is a nonfactor and Morris is a good fit. Man

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Yea I’m not giving up Caruso for Jackson either. I wouldn’t mind him over Rondo sure. But even if Jackson signed there, we know #YALL (not you) would be banging the table for it lol

If I’m getting Rose, Caruso can go lol no one is saying he’s trash but the overvaluing is hella biased. Yes we do it too *cough cough* Thybulle *cough cough* but to say he is off the table is wild.

It's not wild when the Lakers had suitors for Caruso before the deadline yet they held on to him.

So are you saying Pelinka is crazy for not trading Caruso for Rose when DET was ready to do it?

Two years from now, we will see who Caruso is and there's a better chance he will be a household name by then.

Trust me when I tell you Caruso brings things to the table in a similar impact that Ginobili eventually brought to the Spurs. Caruso plays with the same fearlessness as Manu.

But if you tell people you heard it from me, they might laugh (for now).

But folks can continue to think I'm "over valuing" Caruso. Lol. Maybe Pelinka and Rambis are too.

I’m not saying Caruso is trash. All I’m saying is that don’t beat your chest now and then complain when Rondo is playing heavy minutes and #YALL still need a PG

Caruso seems like he'll be a good energy, hustle play type of dude come playoff time. Things that don't necessarily show up on the stat sheet.

Yeah and that's cool. Useful guy to have on the roster.

Whole thing just seems similar to me hyping up like Brad Wanamaker or something though

He's not though.

 

[everysingletime]

Didn't realize Lakers play Pelicans next week. I hope zion and Ingram drop 50 a piece so big Lakers thread can go down in shambles.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

LOL caruso solid man but yall acting like he de’aaron fox or something

I need to see more on the offensive end from caruso for me to label him more than just a specialist.

he’s a great role player, he understands his role and plays within himself. He don’t try to do to much and makes winning plays....thats his niche.

don’t see him being an amazing starter like some of yall

We don't need a guard. Pelinka's actions pre and post-deadline prove this.

Plus Rondo gonna get minutes over him cause of seniority and because of AD.

Caruso will have his time because he has consistently shown flashes already.

That's the thing that's got Doc Rivers all shook up. The CLIPPERS KNOW the Lakers are deep with weapons and that their system is designed to adapt to any style of basketball because of the way their personnel is constructed.

The disrespect to AC. Wow.

No wonder Boston ain't won **** in the last 34 years

Rondo gets the 7th most amount of minutes on our team (only a minute above Dwight & Caruso) & RARELY closes out games for us, yet somehow i continuously hear this narrative as if his role on the team is going to be the difference between a championship or not .

Rondo's minutes are probably going to be cut even more come playoff time to top it off,

Who said he'd be an amazing starter?

He provides an essential role for this team and the team is almost always playing better when he's on the floor especially in comparison to Rondo.

Brad Wanamaker though...

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

And what winning contributions has Wannabemaker given to a contender? Show me video evidence like the aforementioned non-casual fans did when they put up clips of Caruso torching the number 2 team in the west on the road.

Otherwise if you cant give me film, you just spouting desperation.

I’m not even a Celtics fan but they just won in 2008, were in the Finals in 2010 and had a couple ECF appearances since then. They were supposed to be Buns but drafted smart and used their Top 3 picks to get an AS and another borderline AS. Signed an AS last year. Got a white dude with a black twin brother on the Clippers. I know they didn’t win and that’s all that matters blah blah blah but let’s not act like they had a horrible decade and haven’t positioned themselves well for the future. Based on everything that’s happened, they truly aren’t supposed to be here/where they’ve been the past 2-3 years.

Bron playing 48 minutes running the offense?

Its funny how the ones who dont really know the Lakers dont even see how Caruso will eventually secure a starting position on this team once AB and Rondo are out.

In due time y'all
