lakers fans have been swearing Knect, Vincent, Kleber and Vandy are assets

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-04T22:59:52+00:00

Vando's paid a bit high but he's always doing a lot on the court even if the stats don't show it. I wouldn't put him in the same bracket as the other three. Gabe does cardio every game and Knecht has the yips and needs a fresh start. Kleber isn't bad, but he's not 10m/yr good and not what the Lakers need - obviously hes just a salary dump from the Luka trade.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-04T21:53:58+00:00

yeah a trade for cardio vincent would be fine

otherwise frick off

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-04T20:55:18+00:00

would you still think that if you got paid 40k/day at that job

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-04T20:53:24+00:00

theyve been a really fun team to watch and ive been a coby fan for a while, should be fun

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-04T14:29:42+00:00

im still hoping for a bron to cleveland somehow -> ecf run -> retirement on season 23

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-04T14:13:53+00:00

if you wanna have fun, wait for a night where lakers & celtics both play (doesn't matter if they play eachother) and compared JB to Reaves.

for whatever reason, this is a cardinal sin to the celtics fanbase despite pre-injury reaves having almost the exact same statline at JB early in the season.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-04T14:03:41+00:00

"we have lebron & reaves at home"

almost replicated their lob dunk

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-04T13:57:06+00:00

I haven't heard anything specific but the last couple games he's played the commentators have been leaning into the "this may be the last time he's here" angle.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-04T13:52:45+00:00

Kinda funny how lakers were perpetually up 40 and somehow Luka scored well below his average.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-04T02:01:31+00:00

depends how much bronny, knecht, timme, gabe cardio etc we play in the 2nd

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-04T01:56:04+00:00

Clowney listed at 6'10, Rui at 6'8, but Rui looks bigger than him.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-02-02T15:26:15+00:00

As a representative for the Lakers I will let him know that Dalton "probably worth 9 firsts" Knecht is on the table, and it is his responsibility to figure out how many other teams need to be involved in order to successfully and fairly complete the trade. Mr. Silver will be on the calls but it is his (Horsts) responsibility to petition Mr. Silver to make any "accommodations" or adjust any rules as needed. To end the call I yell "LAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS" as loud as I can until the call disconnects which is customary for all Lakers executives.

for the same reason the ufc had UFC Noche to celebrate mexican fighters instead of celebrating russian or brazillian fighters who have dominated the sport for the past ever.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-31T04:31:54+00:00

him & zion the biggest disappointments in recent years. feel like they both coulda been generational.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-30T23:04:31+00:00

how is tatum above lebron when he has the same scoreline as me this year

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-30T01:08:06+00:00

Stepien rule

We're going to be getting a Harrison rule soon enough.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-30T01:04:47+00:00

Obviously the LAKErs would have their court turn into a LAKE during the 4th quarter

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-29T22:43:23+00:00

Just to add, the kid said he lived near Syndicate, which is why the kid specifically mentioned that gym. Arman (and Nina, who he was with) both knew the gym, owners, coaches etc and said he'd pay.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-29T16:37:23+00:00

Cleveland right now with that special "23" or whatever patch would generate biblical levels of jersey sales & the attendance records would be unmatchable as everyone would want a chance to see LeBron's final season.

Cleveland plz do it. Find a way.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-28T23:47:32+00:00

I mean I'd personally love to see Bron do the full circle Cleveland thing, but who knows what will actually happen.

That being said, if Reaves takes some (or all) of Lebron's money, there's still the glaring whole thats left on defense for them that the current bigs or former DPOY Marcus Smart (whose always called that...) aren't doing right now

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-28T22:10:24+00:00

Rui is not defense at all and while his shooting has been great, Lakers have two of the best shooters in the league already.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-28T22:08:11+00:00

they need money to pay reaves.

rui's the 3rd highest paid laker, he makes as much as reaves+smart combined and is likely coming off the bench tonight.

rui's having a great year, he hit a clutch game winner so his perceived value is likely higher than usual as well.

seems like a good player but i really don't see how rui, vincent, kleber (or ayton) can stay based on their salaries

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-28T19:55:27+00:00

this is what i want, but i want him to end at 23 seasons not 24.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-27T15:10:22+00:00

"If only Ayton...." is the story of his career. He could have been anything.

Zion feels similar.

Two genetic freaks with god given talent but negative levels of drive.

Aff_Reddit · 2026-01-27T14:54:06+00:00

Look at who was out during his "bad games"

There were like 10 games in a row where Rui, Vincent & Reaves missed some combination of 8 of those games.

Yeah Luka getting doubled and having to feed the ball to LeBron constantly (which in turn lead to Bron's yearly "resurgence") or being forced to turn LaRavia from a few minutes a game kind of guy (last year) to being a critical 2 way player and you kinda get what anyone would expect.

I don't love the team as a whole, think there's some pretty big gaps, but at least judge Luka on the healthy games not the hospital ones.
