@KCJHoop Is there a link to apply?

@SloHoopsFan You think she’s watching any basketball? Don’t waste your time my guy

@martymush Post the jumper Marty.

@jovanbuha Acceptable for most orgs but it doesn’t fly here unfortunately. You cannot continue to show the same weaknesses and not account for them in regards to roster construction. We haven’t been a tier 1 team for several consecutive seasons

[strašni @stra_nikolic]

@KOT4Q Ser, the full tank is on. I repeat, the full tank is on.

@JColeNC How come no Serbia pimp? Let’s make it happen

@CobyWMuse When you get bullied in the market (pun intended) you can’t generate the appropriate leverage to create demand. They need to reassess the brain trust asap

[strašni @stra_nikolic]

I don’t even know where to begin. Why and who does this serve are at the top of the list. Really jarring when you consider the organization over this period of time where most fans backed Jeanie. Ultimately, this franchise has been passed into much better hands.

[strašni @stra_nikolic]

@esidery Evan have you ever “reported” anything that actually went thru? I’m genuinely curious cuz I see you’re name pop up a lot and I’m not sure about your hit rate

[strašni @stra_nikolic]

@kyleichan @MasterPandaWu But can it guard me 1 on 1?

[strašni @stra_nikolic]

@Mishbia15 🤣 no one’s calling for that offer

@KDTrey5 @RRTHEFAN @BrettSiegelNBA @NahaliZolanski The media is absolutely part of the blame and the fan consumption, but I wouldn’t say they’re to blame at the core. Hit my line KD. I’ve never done a pod but I guarantee if you allowed me to do my first ever NBA interview we could have a captivating discussion. I love this game

[strašni @stra_nikolic]

@KDTrey5 @RRTHEFAN @BrettSiegelNBA @NahaliZolanski What about to the $1M weekly paychecks? Fans and media get part of the blame, but you guys are the product. Over leveraging marketing sales and gamblings deals to create more highlight based content, part of this is Adam’s fault and the current CBA. It’s lacking.

[strašni @stra_nikolic]

Be on the lookout for more @Lakers takes from me. I love this franchise and I love the NBA. More uncomfortable conversations are on the way!

[strašni @stra_nikolic]

Lakers first 3 game losing streak of the season and to make matters worse, they will be down Austin Reaves for a minimum of 4 weeks, maybe more. Here’s the thread @Lakers fans need to cope until potentially the All Star break:

[strašni @stra_nikolic]

Rui as a 6th man isn’t a demotion. It’s optimization.
Let him hunt mismatches, score in flow, and punish second units. Austin Reaves coming back helps.
But if the Lakers wait for health instead of fixing structure, they’ll be having this same conversation again in April.

[strašni @stra_nikolic]

I’d like to see Dalton close the 1st & 3rd quarters next to Luka with Rui as the new 6th man attacking tilted defenses. That’s real developmental structure — not chaos minutes.

[strašni @stra_nikolic]

This is also the moment to be intentional with Dalton Knecht. Not random minutes. Planned stretches. Allow him to make mistakes and let’s look at some more pin down variety action and increase his spot up attempts.
