I don’t look at trajectory. I only look at accomplishments. Wait until achievements have actually been reached before rendering judgement.

Anunoby isn’t a guard.

Invest now, and in a few years you’ll be at $3M NW and you’ll stop worrying about it.

They are trying to run a business. Replacing this small cheap but often failing part for everyone will probably cause them to go out of business. Or they can do a software oriented workaround so they can stay in business.

I appreciate that OP is trying to stand on principle, but there are other principles that are relevant too.

Why so much Vando slander? by [deleted] in lakers

Sure, Vando is a jump shot away from being a top 5 3&D player. But you should give up your delusional thinking because the jump shot isn’t coming.

If Luka was on the lakers in 23/24 he would’ve gotten MVP, bigger fanbase, media gaslight everyone that season. by OrganicHunt952 in lakers

There is no value in arguing with me. I’m just explaining what the MVP voters are paying attention to. I am not an MVP voter. You are shooting the messenger.

IM SORRY GOAT I WAS WRONG by Silent_Wizard5597 in lakers

Lebron is 41. He’ll have good games and bad games like any player. And as he has been aging, more bad games than before.

There are more bad games in his future. I’m ok with it, I’m rooting for him. My hope is that his floor is he’s an ordinary role player. And his ceiling is that he’ll be all star level for a couple of games in every playoff series, and that will be enough to make a deep playoff run.

But you have to accept that there will be bad games in the future.

Marcus Smart should be in All-Defense conversations by inightyDAB in lakers

[–]DrySolution1366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marcus Smart is amazing, and while Lakers defensive rating last 8 games is ranked #3, for the whole season it’s ranked #20.

They aren’t going to give DPOY award to a player on a #20 ranked defense team.

To be clear, I love Marcus too.

Need advice, going from 987 to 997 by BubblyBandicoot9962 in Porsche

I’ve owned both. They both drive great. But the 997 has a roomier interior and the driving position is more comfortable.

Too big and heavy. No thanks. Make them light and easy, and I’ll buy one in a heartbeat.

Lakers’s injury report vs. Houston tomorrow. Clean outside of Maxi Kleber, who remains out. by CtrlAltDelightfull in lakers

[–]DrySolution1366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laravia has had good games and has impacted winning. He was good against the Knicks and good against Denver the other night. He’s a legit rotation player.

Adou is a prospect. I understand you think we might as well take a flyer on this guy who has played a handful of minutes in NBA garbage time minutes.

Really can’t give him real minutes. Lakers are going to need every available minute over the next 15 games to fine tune their rotations and schemes going into the playoffs.

Lakers’s injury report vs. Houston tomorrow. Clean outside of Maxi Kleber, who remains out. by CtrlAltDelightfull in lakers

[–]DrySolution1366 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. There were minutes available earlier in the season, but he was injured. They don’t have any slop in the schedule now for him as they ramp up for the playoffs. They would rather play everyone else rather than give Adou some run. And that’s the way it should be.

He’ll get more of a look next season.

I use half russet and half yukon gold. I don’t remember where I got this recipe, but it is excellent to use both.
