What? You’re going to have to find those posts bro. I believe I posted a picture of ages…..never said they were at that level. I’m simply saying, people on here are destroying the Lakers moves, yet praising ours. Just trying to keep it real around here though all the pinwheel fog.
So the Jinx must think the Lakers will have the same injury situation, but not his Blazers? And did he say they will finish 5th?
I posted that picture because people were blasting the Lakers for being so old, which they are, but I was just saying that you’d be surprised what old teams can accomplish. I don’t think they will win 70 games…..I’m thinking they will float at some times…..deal with some injuries….. get 55 wins or so and home court advantage and wait for the playoffs. Will they win it all, I think they can get to the finals. It’s just funny to me because people hate the team, they can’t give any props on the moves.
Being a fan of a team that hasn't won one in 44 years will do that to people. Jealousy kicks in.
You said they needed defense and Russ hasn't lost a step and has during his career been one of the best lockdown defensive guards in the league. The guy can move the ball on offense, get to the hole and he isn't a Ben Simmons bad jump shooter if he'd stop taking wild pull up Js, I think he'd be around 34% from three. That being said, he definitely can bring them much better defense than they had. Then after Russ, they just added the shooting/spacing you said they were weak at, some of whom are plus defenders. Going off of last season's 3pt %: Ariza 35%, Nunn 38%, Bazemore 40% (all 3 and D guys), Melo 41%, Ellington 42% and Monk 43%. So it seems to me that adding Russ, Nunn, Bazemore, Ariza and Dwight Howard shows that they're still committed to defense and adding 6 sharpshooters would be them addressing shooting and floor spacing.
We are best friends though. But you're a dog, not a man.
If true hopefully that moves the Dray to Portland, CJ to Philly and Simmons to GS talks along.
I guess they felt that if they had let the two of them iron things out and calm down, things could have been different. Instead the suspended Green a game and social media made a huge deal of it which didn't help. Then Durant gets injured against Toronto and we know the rest of the story.
I have no idea why we would possibly want Dray over Simmons. That makes no sense. Simmons is younger and far far more athletic and bigger and just as skilled if not more skilled. Like I've said before the only thing Dray has that Simmons doesn't is a really inconsistent jumper.
My theory based on nothing is that GS views Simmons as a souped-up and younger Draymon.
I agree with that assessment. We have the main piece in all of these theoretical deals and I just have no idea why we would involve the Warriors. We should be able to pry Simmons away from Philly with CJ, DJJ and the right amount of draft considerations. If the Sixers are waiting for Dame, I don't think involving the Warriors makes the deal work and if they're not we should be able to get it done on our own.
Depends if Simmons wants to come here. Also, I would tend to think Dame would want Dray over Simmons. I would rather have Simmons too. But, Dray would probably save us from.having to send out 1st round picks too.
Can’t give props on the moves because they weren’t good moves. Like I’ve said, if Westbrook gets injured, then they have a shot.
Seems like LeBron's face is saying "Shut the fuck up, Brodie"
