@gunsmoneybirds@olympicbean He was 21 7 6 last season coming off an injury and playing the third option with the best efficiency on the team with the best defensive rating of the 3.
Teams all over the league are leaving voice messages for 41 year old Lebron, multiple players are actively recruiting him.
@WKingAwesome Miami has 5 40% shooters. It could be 6 if Lebron can get back to his 2024 form. If they can get a third ball handler (Bronny?) and a good backup big, they could be the ultimate mix of the 2020 Lakers and the 2024 Celtics.
@Finishurbkfst23 Lebron wanted Derozan, Derozan even agreed to take a paycut, Pelinka still low-balled him. Westbrick was the last minute back up plan because Pelinka wanted to gut the team for Buddy Hield.
@Wormsinyourbed@HotNewHipHop The fuck are you talking about? Most of the best rappers were not heavy punchline rappers, punch heavy rappers are not usually in the top rappers list. That's mostly Em and Wayne.
Also, Kendrick has crazy punchlines, going back to section 80. During the beef he was punch heavy.
@NinerTribe004@ElishajuanJohn1@CuffsTheLegend I never said he wasn't, I'm talking about fit you idiot. Both Luka and AR are bad defenders, really bad. They should only play limited minutes together.
This new roster is trash, also Ayton is gone for picks along with Dalton and Vando.
@NinerTribe004@ElishajuanJohn1@CuffsTheLegend No, AR should have been leading of the bench with other shooters and a rim runner. That and a decent rim protector would have solved most of their issues.
This current roster isnt going anywhere, after Rob trades the rest of the team for 2ndrs the bench will be ass.
@NinerTribe004@ElishajuanJohn1@CuffsTheLegend In the regular season Lebron is lazy on defense, yet he is still a MUCH better defender than both Luka and AR, not to mention 3 of the 5 pickups I've seen so far.
Also, Luka and AR should not be playing extended minutes together, they have only beat .500 teams 5 times together.
@NinerTribe004@ElishajuanJohn1@CuffsTheLegend Why do you keep putting words in my mouth? Who says run it back with the same squad? The Lakers obviously needed improvements, but mostly on the bench, and Ayton.
Also Lebron was a net neutral defender in the regular season and a +2.5 defender in the post season.
@NinerTribe004@ElishajuanJohn1@CuffsTheLegend 1 rim protector does not fix a team full of bad defenders. Is this your first year watching basketball? The starting lineup is full of streaky shooters with defensive problems. All of them on bad contracts (except Luka).
Grimes is a good defender, but this squad aint good.
@NinerTribe004@ElishajuanJohn1@CuffsTheLegend You are an idiot. 1 man can't cover everyone's defensive liabilites, not to mention Kessler gets more injury prone each year. They got rid of more defense than they brought in, but they got rid of way more offense and now they have nothing to trade for 5 years. Lakers are Doomed.
