@TheAthletic Of course Hollinger wrote the Lakers one…that insufferable prick is honestly just a lakers hater and one of the worst contributors to The Athletic. Thank god for writers like Dan Woike who do actual journalism
@ottoleghi@EricSperlazza13 Yeahhhhh except on off is notoriously an unreliable single player statistic 😂 try using LEBRON or EPM instead to measure real impact, then tell me if he still leads
@DiscussingFilm Honestly Paramount messed this up by not giving it the theatrical release it deserved. Leave it to the Ellisons to run one of the best franchises into the ground
@JoshBlazed@jovanbuha Dude what is so hard to believe about AR being good? Have you just not watched him play? Honestly if you can name 5 players on every serious contending team who is actually better than Austin, then you’re seriously misevaluating him. And I’m not going to try to convince you 🤷♂️
@JoshBlazed@jovanbuha He’d be the #2 on sixers, wolves, Denver, arguably cavs too. For sure the pistons and spurs too. Easily on Houston too. He’s 100% a starter on literally every team on the league given he’s an all star level player, if not all nba if he didn’t get injured this year.
@JoshBlazed@jovanbuha Why wouldn’t AR start for any real contender? He’s literally an offensive engine, elite playmaker and shot creator who is a playoff riser. He’s arguably a #2 player on most contenders
@LAbound2 Plus Hayes potentially? I wouldn’t be surprised if ayton is traded, and I think Jaxon is a better backup with his athleticism. I doubt Jaxon would stay as a third stringer
@RottenTomatoes Honestly was so down for an animated romance without comedy, and then the aliens came and I remembered what studio made this 🤦♂️ Still looks interesting, but woof that tonal change was a bit much. Might be a trailer thing more than a movie thing
@basketball_gm I’d love to find a way to incorporate some of @The_BBall_Index Data (historical and current) for advanced metrics, talent scores, etc as the basis for the player ratings. Is there any potential to do that in the system?
@michaeldomps@lazchance Yeah that’s a more reasonable argument. And I’m not sure I would want Duren on the lakers with how much he’s owed and his known issues
@michaeldomps@lazchance Except reaves is much better than herro. I hate this trade as a lakers fan, but tired of people undervaluing Austin. $30 million is a bargain for reaves at this point, a guy who can run an offense and is a perfect #2. Advantage extender, foul generator, playmaker….
@NxHeroes@lazchance Wait what are you talking about? Austin is literally a top 10 impact offensive guy able to run an entire offense and give you 28 and 10 assists on any given night. Your evaluation is outdated by a few years. He’s a #2 option on a team, would be #1 for some teams in the league
@_MatthewPeralta My worry is that he’s good, but not worth the $25-30million lakers will have to throw at him to get him. An overpay is the last thing we need on the roster
@Ricardo81910242@timecaptales Well buddy I’ve got some good news for you….check out the clone wars, rebels, and the new maul show. They did a spectacular job bringing him a true arc and making him one of the best villains in Star Wars
