All Lakers gotta do is have Bron be the full time pg and decision maker and surround him with scorers and they good.

No more expecting Bron to carry the offense. Every now and again he can take over but no longer should he be expected to go out and get 40 to win.

And even then Bron is the best decision maker/game manager in the league by far.

Lakers still gonna hold these jokes, but if they make smart moves, theyll be back next year.

This requires AD frail ass to be the clear cut best player for the Lakers which he has shown so far he can’t do because of his health

Even when healthy though there’s been instances they have relied on a 36 year old to have them win games

Pelicans are 3 seasons removed from their last appearance, which included a sweep of their first rd opponent...how long was the Knicks playoff drought again prior to this season?

Save ya characters, I already know b

Lmao, Pelicans are 3 years removed from the playoffs, and Knicks are a few days removed.

We good here bruh.

Plus we a got a good coach, and yall got stan (lol).

Plus we got a ton of capspace, and yall bout to max Lonzo (lol).

Like I said, we good here bruh.

Put AD on the Kawhi Toronto protocol and they good.

Alot of teams gonna have to look at what toronto did with Kawhi and learn from it.

The NBA also has realize there are certain players that cant play 82 games and let them live. AD, Kawhi, Zion, KP etc. List goes on and on. Cant risk a talent like AD just cause we want him to play 82 games.

And I dont have the answer to fix it. Yes resting players hurts the league. But also, certain players cant play 82 games.

Idk how to balance it. Silver better get to work.

Three things:

Knowing AD he’ll still get hurt in the games he plays

Can the lakers afford to not play AD in every game and put more on a guy that’s 37 next season? It’s not like they have ever shown that the supporting cast is good enough to not need AD at times

Raptors not the first team to load manage like that but I feel you

You knew the jokes were coming yet you trying to turn this into a Pelicans discussion.

Keep punching that air Trey. You might actually hit something eventually.

Caruso basically got benched in the 2nd half lol. I don't think I saw that ferret out on the court
