@AnthonyIrwinLA All comes down to Kessler being a dude. Rob essentially swapped Rui, Marcus & Luke for Monu, Grimes & Sexton. Latter group is younger, more athletic & fit better w/ Luka but is not some massive upgrade. The big bet is swapping LBJ & 2 1sts for Kessler. He has to be a force...TBD
Lol at anyone upset by this Lakers' off-season. Rob Pelinka has no animating basketball vision beyond convincing Jeanie Buss that he knows what he's doing. Lucky for him she's as easy as mark as there is. Yes Luka will bounce, but on the other side we'll get competent leadership
@AnthonyIrwinLA Connelly just having fun in the final year of his deal as he makes plans for how he'll build a contender around Luka when Walter hires him next summer.
@SamQuinnCBS Rob has been objectively bad at his job. Name a GM that couldn't have pulled off the AD & Luka trades. Now name a GM that could have LBJ & either AD or Luka for 6 seasons & fail to build a team around them that could win a single game past the 2nd round. Replacement level at best
@Seinfeldism1 The Bizarro Jerry is the greatest episode ever. You have Elaine with the bizarro crew. Jerry dating man hands. George using the picture of man hands to get into the secret club and Kramer working at Brandt-Leland. 4 legendary sub plots all in the same episode.
@AnthonyIrwinLA Fascinating how Jokic discussions by these types always center around what is great about him while Luka discussions always focus on his shortcomings. I don't need the media to shit on Joker more, I just wish they celebrated every player's game the way they do his.
@SamQuinnCBS The '24 Celtics were a legitimately great team but their path to the title was among the easiest in NBA history. Anytime Maz has not had an overwhelming talent advantage his teams have flamed out in the postseason.
@SamQuinnCBS Shaq's game log in the 2000 NBA Finals:
Game 1: 43 & 19 with 3 blocks
Game 2: 40/24/3
Game 3: 33/13/2
Game 4: 36/21/2
Game 5: 35/11/2
Game 6: 41/12/4
I mean, lol.
Raiders Fernando Mendoza on what kind of leader he is
“Although I’ve came off as very humble, pretty fuzzy & warm. At the end of my Indiana career when you have that equity I was able to be like #4 or #12. I was an A-hole sometimes, I wanted everyone to do their 1/11th.” ☠️🏴☠️
@rBillSimmonsPod How can anyone listen to Russillo reading off the ESPN play by play of all 8 playoff series for 40 minutes on his pod and argue that Zach fucking Lowe is a downgrade. Zach actually knows ball.
