@LakerCentral365 because they agreed to that goofy CBA that makes it to where someone or multiple someone’s has to in order for your favorite team to win a championship
@TheB0ssDon@ddpage369@VinoUncorked whether that’s getting to the rim, creating space for pull up mid range, passing out to shooters. his game is fast break and post play now, that’s no recipe for him being an offensive star especially in Cleveland with Harden and Mitchell doing most of the ball handling
@TheB0ssDon@ddpage369@VinoUncorked he operates in the same parts of the court as all the guys you named so where’s the spacing. his 3pt was close to 30% last year, if that doesn’t get back to normal that makes spacing even more of an issue. he can no longer consistently create off the dribble in the half court
@ddpage369@VinoUncorked I already referenced that in half court his handle pretty trash now as is his first step, you just talking around the points I made
@ddpage369@VinoUncorked reaves doesn’t play in that series at all Lakers get walked down, like I said Bron ran out of steam. you citing everyone’s performance but his as the series went along, wonder why
@TheB0ssDon@ddpage369@VinoUncorked but you watch as many games of the lakers as many fans of the Lakers year after year you can see it, not the Bron stans but actual Lakers fans
@TheB0ssDon@ddpage369@VinoUncorked and all of what you said makes him being relegated to 3rd option make even more sense. I disagree, think we many are fooling themselves including Bron and his camp about the effects of his aging and the difficulties that come with building around that with him making 50M
@ddpage369@VinoUncorked and for the regular season he shouldn’t be more than a 3rd option for his own sake and for the team if they wanna make a deep playoff run, whatever team he’s on
@ddpage369@VinoUncorked a high enough* the defense and rebounding comes and goes, mostly the defense. and I’d still admit he’s a better playoff performer than Austin overall with his current skill set but all this crying in the media about being a 3rd option is based on reg season
@ohiothefirst@Coopz___ based on his standing in the league less money this year for the right opportunity and fit would likely be better for him than going after the most money this year just to be under utilized and ultimately makeless money in the long run
@TheRealZach3@jjmaples55 when you send out all the majority of your assets for AD and then the remaining for westbrook which was signed off by the superstars, they don’t get to cry after when it doesn’t work out about what’s around them and rebuilding a roster and assets after doesn’t happen overnight
@TheRealZach3@jjmaples55 Bron and AD underperformed in too many moments, period. You make a combined 100+ million between the 2, go fucking earn it and they didn’t in plenty of clutch moments, see the Denver sweep
@TheRealZach3@jjmaples55 every good-great big is either on the team that drafted them or went for a haul. the real talents at the position don’t be available or you have to pay the price but they passed on the great Myles Turner or Nic Claxton
