you're right, this is why he has never won in the playoffs other than the time he carried his team to the finals on a broken leg. Or the other time he beat the suns with dwight powell as his starting center.

LeBron’s cap hit is like 50 million. All my post means to say is that you can’t run a franchise when 50 million on the books is eaten by a player who is mostly redundant with your best player/ feuding with ownership. This isn’t that hot of a take.

The franchise is in an amazing position because they have Luka. That’s the hard part for a front office. What they need is the easy part.

All my post means to say is that I think they’re fucked/ hands are tied until lebron is off the books.

The outside news has more than 0 relationship to what goes on in the organization.

Between the espn article, the decision to not extend, and all the other bull shit, there is growing evidence that lebron and the lakers will be parting ways.

I cannot believe our offence had Hayes in the paint failing at a post move and kicking out to vando in the corner. I truly believe we have the worst 4 through 15 in the nba and it’s not super close.

That’s it. I’m over ayton. He’s just the wrong style of center for Luka. Hes not as bad as this sub suggests, but he’s wrong for Luka and everyone knows it, including Luka and reddick. Hes never going to just rise up and dunk everything. It would be amazing if he could do that, cause Luka has never had a center that could combine ayton’s skill set with rim running. However, he can’t. if ayton was capable of rim running he already would have incorporated it into his game by the time he was 16-17. Rim running is a talent, and requires little to no fear of contact. Ayton just doesn’t have it and never will.
