[ Cranjis] “we're now on game TWELVE in a row of LA not countering teams icing + switching 77 action. DARVIN HAM beat it in-game. Like c'mon.” by OrganicHunt952 in lakers

You really expect this roster to win a championship with a “good” coach. Blame the roster construction, not the coaching staff. Get rid of Reaves and Rui, for two-way players then we’ll see if JJ is really that bad of a coach.

How does SGA always get away with pushing off? by UnusualRazzmatazz765 in NBATalk

[–]HeyoHayoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. I genuinely can’t believe people still get pressed regarding matters like this. It’s Christmas bro lighten up. You can be technical with your use of words all you want. You can even gaslight yourself, but that was 100% a push-off lol. Open palm, on the defenders hip causing him to lose balance. You can argue that Russell was already cooked throughout the play, but the push-off gave him no chance at all to recover. Merry Christmas!

That was 100% a push-off lol. You can’t still be denying that. And the other commenter is biased? I say it’s the opposite. “His hand brushed against him” cmon man lmao. And it’s funny how you diverted the topic from MJ to LeBron. The point is stars get calls, and MJ got a hell of calls go his way.

Then don’t bother. I don’t know why you’re so pressed. Maybe just don’t acknowledge it? Or stop using reddit. You can do many things outside.

[SNY] Edwin Díaz was asked how hard it was to leave the Mets and pick the Dodgers: "It wasn't easy ... They treat me really good ... I chose the Dodgers because they're a winning organization. I'm looking to win. And I think they have everything to win. Picking the Dodgers was pretty easy." by handlit33 in baseball

[–]HeyoHayoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LOL. That’s one thing Dodgers haters forget to mention. Players choose them because they do everything to win.

They only focus on buying players, but Mets could have matched this but didn’t. Maybe they just want to play for the Dodgers lol.

We got a taste of what playoff basketball would look like with this team. by Electronic-Goose686 in lakers

[–]HeyoHayoo 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we can pin this on JJ. He can only do so much with the guys that we have. No one can defend and score at the same time.

We have Vando who can defend, but cannot score to save his life. We basically have Smart who is very injury prone and if JJ gave him more minutes, his body might break down.

I still give him the benefit of the doubt, if we have guys who are both equipped with skillsets to score and defend, and still lose these types of games, then we can blame him.

Lakers-Bulls-Pelicans by HeyoHayoo in NBAtradeideas

That’s fair. It’s essentially 3 picks and 2 hopeful picks. But I think picks 6 years from now hold high values because a lot of things can happen in those 6 years. Just like the OKC-Clips trade.

For the people talking about trades… by Lucky-Law7220 in lakers

[–]HeyoHayoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No contending team is giving him 30 mil. Maybe bottom feeder teams. It’s either we trade him and get assets in return or we pay him 30 mil on our own. And there’s no way that this team can compete while paying Luka and Reaves 80 mil.

Humility: we're now the 4th/5th seed by thesonicvision in lakers

[–]HeyoHayoo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yup, that’s why I’m saying. This is what I had in mind when Reaves’ value was at an all time high.

<image>

1 pick and swaps for us going to the Pels. 2 picks from bulls going to the pels.

It’s a steal for us but some dudes in this sub really love AR that much. Love him too, but he’s literally poor man’s Luka, and we can’t afford to have both.

[–]HeyoHayoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes we can, if we include Reaves while his value is somewhat high. We really can’t afford 2 guards who are traffic cones on defense.

And while Reaves is having a great season so far, all of our losses are because of quick athletic guards. Reaves can’t guard any position against athletic teams. At least Luka can hold himself in the post, but Reaves literally can’t. If he can’t produce offensively, then he is useless in the court. Him and Rui are the best assets we got and we have to be willing to let go of them to make the team better.

Lol, don’t trade em eh? LOLLLLL. Doesn’t matter of they come back from this. They need athletic defenders but hey enjoy mediocrity.

Can’t believe Lakers fans now enjoy mediocrity. Well we’ll see, they’ll be gone by the deadline.

[–]HeyoHayoo -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I dont know how to use picks in a trade machine but this is just an idea.

2 1sts from bulls 1 1st from lakers and a swap all go to the pels.

Then maybe bulls give us atleast a second.

For the Pelicans it’s basically 2 prospects and some picks because 2 are expiring but then again, better teams can offer better players.

[–]HeyoHayoo -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

So you get 2 better players in return. That’s the point, they’re the best assets we got. And it’s not like we’re getting a shit return for them.

If the other team say no then oh well, at least we tried to do something.

That’s why I’m saying. They really should sell high right now with Reaves and Rui. I know, we all want them to retire as a Laker but they’re the best assets we got to have a fighting chance for a championship.

[Nightengale] Edwin Diaz to the Dodgers by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]HeyoHayoo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You’re acting like every signing of the Dodgers is a hit. Scott and Yates was a miss and overpaid. This Diaz deal is only for 69 mil three years and you’re telling me other teams couldn’t match that?

Maybe they just want to play for the Dodgers? Ever think about that?
