jackolantern, in Should/can the Lakers go after Fred VanVleet?

I don’t know. We’re probably better of just running it back and getting a good center that can carry some of the defensive and rebounding duties off of AD and probably CP3 on a vet min.

It’s definitely not the most attractive position right now. Showtime + Win Now + Fan Base + Aging Superstar make it one extremely volatile position to be in. Not looking good tbh, considering they’re looking at a pool of JJ, Sam Cassell, etc etc. I may be wrong but I don’t think there are any Championship caliber HC’s available now that Bud is with the Suns.

David_Eight, in Rob and Jeanie should fire themselves....

The championship gives then a good bit of slack. The Westbrook trade was a terrible idea, IDK how much of that was LeBrons Idea? Letting Caruso walk was also terrible, that’s definitely on Rob. Other than those two, I’ve at least understood why they’ve done what they’ve done.

I think they’ve done well in trading away Westbrook and onwards.

FleeingReddit,

AFAIC they lost all their slack the season after the bubble when they stupidly blew up the roster. That team deserved a chance to repeat, just as they were.

David_Eight, in [Shams] Just in: Spencer Dinwiddie plans to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers after he clears waivers

That’s a good solid addition. I think this move is probably best case trade deadline scenario this year.

Yep, didn’t have to give up anything to get him, and he already has chemistry with some of the players on our roster. Looking forward to his first game with us on Tuesday!

David_Eight, in Anthony Davis has 3rd career triple-double, Lakers beat Hornets 124-118

Reeves and Dlo finally getting their shit together and playing how we needed them to play all season. Hopefully they can keep it up 🤞

I hope so, but we’ll see what the next 48 hours brings. Might have a completely different look in a couple of days.

Javish, in James, Lakers pull away for 113-105 win to end Knicks' nine-game winning streak

Wonderful victory!

sin_free_for_00_days, in Lakers snap Knicks' 9 game win streak with 113-105 victory on the road

The lowly Lakers taking out 2 of the top 3 Eastern Conference teams back-to-back just shows how much stronger the Western Conference is.

sin_free_for_00_days, in Lakers with another disaster-class performance, losing to the Hawks 122-138

Well it’s been fun guys. I’ll see you after rebuilding.

AD and Bron have been healthy all damn season and we’re still .500. Ham has to go. Players need to go. FO needs to go. If Rob doesn’t cook this deadline we aren’t going far at all.

Javish, in Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun power the Rockets past the Lakers 135-119

Disgraceful performance.

Dickarus,

Changes are definitely needed. Ship out some players. Ship out a coach. Something. Edging on .500 with this current setup isn’t gonna get us far in the playoffs, if we even make it.

sin_free_for_00_days, in Lakers lose to the Clippers, 116-127

Losing to the Clippers is just a little salt added to the normal loss wound.

Dickarus,
@Dickarus@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah but also scheduled L with no Bron. The real salt is Westbrook hitting a 3 with one shoe.

Donjuanme, in [McMenamin] Injury report vs. PHX

Nobody tell them about the right lower limb

IronRain, (edited ) in End tonight's “Battle for LA” with Tacos!

I still think this is the hardest achievement to earn, especially in today’s NBA, for one of the most lackluster prizes. Other teams get Chick-fil-A for 2 missed free throws! We have to be a top 10 defense to get mediocre tacos. But I do love the “We Want Tacos” chants that permeated the 2000s!

Dickarus,
@Dickarus@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, with the pace and modern play, really is one of the more difficult achievements, but the “taco” chants are just as hype as when the crowd starts chanting anything really. Seems like every team nowadays can easily crank out 111+

IronRain, in Lakers snap losing streak against the Clippers 106-103

It was a surprisingly competitive game, which indicates that Ham hasn’t completely lost the locker room. I thought this was one of Ham’s better coached games with the exception of putting Cam Reddish back in during the middle of the 4th quarter, which quickly dissipated our 10 point lead.

Dickarus,
@Dickarus@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely, a competitive game, but I also wouldn’t say that he gained the locker room back from it. Still feels disconnected with some post game interviews that I’ve seen.

Gandarf, in Every angle of PG's business decisions against LeBron | Jan 07, 2024

Hi, here from ‘all’. Saw a few posts about this play.

Can someone explain the relevance of this dunk to me? I see LJ doing an OK dunk. And look around like he slayed a dragon or something afterwards.

That’s it.

What’s special about this that someone, like myself – who doesn’t follow basketball at all – might understand?

IronRain,

Welcome!

The first thing you need to consider is that he exploded from just inside the free throw line (which is 15’ from the hoop), which is insane to begin with. Two, he finished with contact over a strong and lengthy Paul George (although he didn’t contest), which is even more impressive. Three, he elevated even higher than necessary, making him float longer in the air for aesthetics. Fourth, and I can’t stress this point enough, he did this at the ripe old age of 39 years old. Paul George is 6 years his junior. Most 39 professional athletes are sitting on the bench, cheering on their decade(s)-younger teammates, ready to cash in their league pensions.

Paul George also sidestepped at the very last second, preventing this poster dunk from being even more embarrassing for him.
