Nobody on this team is undtradeable. If the Lakers get a really good deal that they feel will be for the betterment of the team they should take it.
NBA 2016-2017 Season |OT| What do the Liberty Bell and Ben Simmons have in Common?
- Thread starter Jarate
- Start date
I'm more speaking from my perception of their value, personally I don't see any reason to pull the trigger on "blowing it up". It's like blowing up a pile of rubble. Russell has clear upside. However I personally think randle is a bum.
Edit-and believe me I know. It's why people critical of Danny singed drafting is pretty stupid tbh, he rarely if ever picks anywhere of actual value. Tony Allen, Avery Bradley, Al Jefferson, and several others were solid pickups for where they were drafted.

I think it's a perception issue with lottery picks. I have been critical of Julius myself, but he's averaging 13/9. He is fairly skilled. He can play. He's not an all star, but he's probably good enough to stick around the league in some capacity as a productive player for 10 years. That's not a bum or a bust. Look no further than the guy taken two spots after Julius, Noah Vonleh, who in his third season can barely get on the court, for evidence of much worse it can be and how much of a crap shoot even lottery picks can be.

Man, Lakers fans...
Taking 3 years to rebuild isn't bad at all. Neither is taking 4. Around 5 you're at serious concern level, but you might have also just had really shitty luck.
Trading everyone? What are you gonna get, honestly? 2013 Lakers but worse?

Just tired. This DST really has me messed up today.
Yeah bums a strong word. I more mean I don't think he'll ever be a legit starter. He may find a niche eventually but well see.

Randle can do some things but I personally can't stand watching him play, everything he does is so janky with no finesse to it. Doesn't seem to be a willing defender either.
Blowing it up wouldn't make much sense for the Lakers, they'd have to give away assets just to move Deng or Mosgov. I still think Russel and Ingram can be really good, the problem with Russel is I think he's much more an off ball secondary ball handler than a primary one since he lacks a real explosive ability to get into the lane and break down defenses but seems to be pretty crafty in pnr situations setting up guys and a decent stroke. Ingram I do think has a really high ceiling tho, it's just going to take some patience to get there.
But, for my sake and the Sixers sake, gimme dat 4th pick please and I hope they never get good

.If Spurs win, they get 1st seed. Kawhi Leonard is back from his concussion.

I'm OK with this.
Straight Outta Compton is a massively important and influential album, but I think it's dated in some aspects, IMO. Something 2 Dance 2, enough said.

The Parsons contract has been awful, almost Mozgov/Deng bad.

He's living the dream. Paid just to be around
Doesn't even compare lol.
Really hoped Parsons would have been healthy though, the Grizzlies would have been a top team if so.
I am on team Rubio 100%.. who wants Dunn??

Spurs #1 in the West for a day. Probably won't last long, but the fact they even are at this point in the season is pretty remarkable.
Eh, I'd be surprised if they aren't still the 1 seed at regular season's end.

The Spurs and LeBron being complete anomalies are all time NBA storylines. LeBron putting up a vintage season in year 14, and the Spurs being an elite, 60 win team despite losing Duncan and Manu/TP being shells of their former selves. Teams aren't supposed to be able to do that. It's insane how well run that organization is. In a weird way, the Spurs are answering that age old NBA question of "what would have happened if Len Bias hadn't died?"

So when does Adam Silver send in Jerry Colangelo to go the Lakers to give them some credibility? This is some pretty blatant tanking.

Can we get another Amnesty provision? Perhaps two per team?
You don't think lineups where the only shooter is the PG are good?
It's pretty dumb how he keeps completely changing the lineups game after game and expects to learn something.

Trust The Process.
When an organization fires a gm they are able to undo his last move.
