@Vino24Mamba8@NotLikeLuka Transition year. This is your core for at least two years. No traceable draft capital for 7 years. Not much cap space left either. This is it, is it good enough?
@KirkNAO@NycVipers Bron don’t make the final call. That’s still a front office decision. That’s why you have the title, you can’t fault a player for what the GM does. Even if he’s listening to the player, that means it’s a bad GM.
@BrunsonBurnerZ@goon_info@VinnysCorner1 Magic is the catalyst for what the Lakers became. During his entire tenure they were championship contenders. Out of 12 years he went to 9 finals. Kareem had been there 6 years and had missed the playoffs twice. Magic was showtime.
@Abelus_Prime@VinnysCorner1 Yeah but you have to consider what the Lakers were when he got there. And I know Laker fans like to think if they kept the young talent they had they would have gotten back to glory, but none of those players has become a superstar. He resurrected the franchise TBH
@llb60@MilliniumPrince@NycVipers IT requested the trade, but he had their ear. That wasn’t the case for all players. Shaq left in 96. But most of those contracts from players who came in during the 80’s were long term contracts. Careers weren’t very long either. Magic Johnson was on a 25 year contract.
@TheHerd@colincowherd He said it’s not a great guard league. The reigning two time MVP, the scoring champ, guard. The finals MVP, guard. Colin says anything
@andrudabeast@SleeperWizards People say anything. Probably looking at most recent stats. This is why watching the game is important. Trae brings more value to his team and has more impact on the game.
@jetboiiitnt@GOODworld101@UnderdogNBA@FCHWPO But not by a year? But he’s not stronger,
Physically or mentally. They covet him more than JB but they’re equal in overall value and JB might have the edge in intangibles.
@jetboiiitnt@UnderdogNBA@FCHWPO That’s fine but why not Tatum too? That’s telling JB that JT is better but when it mattered most for their successes JB was.
@PTI He said Jaylen Brown is a sensitive guy. They’ve been dangling this guy out there for trades for years and he’s has continued to show up and be a professional for that organization. He’s been a top 2-way threat, ECF MVP and Finals MVP. He should feel unappreciated
