OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD - August 2021

[Haakzilla]

Be careful how far you go down conspiracy highway - you might find yourself eating horse de-wormer.

...is that why the lemon-lime flavor is sold out in all of Central and Eastern Oregon?!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The Lakers make the best trades in NBA history. They want a player, they can usually get them. That isn't by accident after all these years...

If that was true, they’d have Damian Lillard and not Russell Westbrook.

 

[THE HCP]

Good thing it's not 2013!

They’re STILL going to finish ahead of our Blazers though FAMS.

 

[THE HCP]

No, that's only when YOU think about it.

Prove me wrong sir. Which backup PG/Center on our roster, better than Rondo and Jordan?

Lakers fans don't get to say ours when referring to the Blazers

 

[Labinot41]

We are a better Team than the Lakers.

CJ is the Blazers’ backup PG based on last season at least. While not a classic PG by any stretch, he’s a much better scorer than Rondo. Zeller is better than Jordan at this stage in his career.

Can Billups give us 5 mins a night at pg?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

not blazers related, please move to Lakers forum.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Keep posting Lakers stuff @THE HCP.

I'm with you bro.

They also have a billion dollar tv deal that pays a lot of luxury tax...it's a stacked deck there.

Simons and Zeller are much better than current Rondo and Jordan.

1987 Celtics lost. Your enthusiasm reminds me of 2010 when you picked the Heat to go 75-7. In reality, they went 58-24 and lost in the Finals to a team with 1 all star.

 

[THE HCP]

Simons and Zeller are much better than current Rondo and Jordan.

Who do you think Dame would rather have on his roster.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Except regularly at retirement homes. Maybe this whole Lakers season is secretly a new series of "Uncle Drew" commercials!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Who do you think Dame would rather have on his roster.

Few players make good GMs. See Jordan, Michael.

Dunno, but whoever they are, at least their previous teams didn't literally pay them to leave.

when and why did this happen? That was fun

Pay per view, early 90s, as I recall. Kareem was short of cash, I imagine.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Simons and Zeller. If Jordan was any good, he’d still be on the Nets. Rondo is washed.

Actual footage of Lakers' practices:

Saving the ball under your own basket is never a great idea, especially in a game of one-on-one. Rookie mistake.

AD in the background thinking, "WTF, I'm the youngster on this squad of geezers?"

Kareem needs to take that shit out. Cherry picker

 

[Chris Craig]

Actual footage of Lakers' practices:

Embarrassing 1st half for Dr J. Ouch. Can't blame Kareem for bringing it inside with his height advantage. Good to see Dr J come back in the 2nd half, despite losing. Some good stops.

Actual footage of Lakers' practices:

Looks like when @Chris Craig and I played 1-on-1...

Why? I’m going to go with “money.” Final answer.

What do you expect from a Laker transplant?
