Leader frustrates me sometimes with not embedding his Twitter links, stating the obvious and responding to every post seriously, but he's the only Laker fan that consistently posts on here. You can't have him. His posting style is worse than Magic Johnson on twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope.... trade him away for a guy from Texas Tech. A school known for producing tremendous NBA talent. Amazing. Jeez I didn’t know Zhaire flamed out that quick but Brett Brown was the interim GM that draft. The future pick they got from Phoenix eventually went to LAC for Tobias. One of McDonough’s rare successful moves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, he did get you Booker and Ayton. We’ll see how Jones drafts go. Probably wouldn’t take Dragan Bender 4th overall though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just extremely raw offensively coming out of college, couldn't shoot, couldn't really create, wasn't a playmaker. IIRC most of his points came off of lobs, put backs, and in transition. I think he could've been an excellent defender in the league but obviously he had issues with his health and never really got a chance to play or develop. Lu Dort is about the same size and level of athlete as Smith and he's becoming one of the better defenders in the league. He also got a raw deal because he had his issues as a rookie and then Philadelphia drafted Thybulle the following year who essentially took his projected role. He was also one of those guys that came out too early, he wasn't even close to ready to be a contributor at the NBA level when he was drafted. Versus a guy like Thybulle who was a 4 year college player and was more pro-ready and knew what his calling card would be in the league.

lomaxgrUK Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Jokic had his way Offensively in the 1st half. For some reason, his shot selection went awful in the 3rd. The lack of 3 point shooting really hurt us in the end, especially with Bridges and Crowder cooking. You can't go into a 4th quarter trailing like we were when Chris Paul is playing. He might be the best player I have ever seen at controlling a lead. As I have said numerous times, we aren't winning this series with MPJ going nuclear across a FULL game. Malone is trying to play him with the 2nd unit but he just isn't good enough at creating his own Offense right now. Really like the Suns roster. Really well balanced, and they are going to be a tough out for anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
