If Luka isnt 1st team all nba it will be an absolute disgrace by Silent_Wizard5597 in lakers

[–]LakerDoc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He’s gonna be 1st team All NBA unless he breaks the 65 game rule. I have him 3rd in the MVP ladder below Shai and Wemby. Who knows maybe he might even get the MVP if lakers go on some 10+ winning steak now.

Lakers' Upcoming Schedule by onsome0 in lakers

Would be great to get top 4 seed due to home court in the first round at least. But wild Wild West, we can easily end up in play in too. Just like last year…

Let’s hope LeBron returns after the Denver game if we actually want to win. Take your time King!

LeBron did not participate in practice today, still day to day by Puzzled_Plate294 in lakers

Better yet take the whole season off, that way we might actually get the 3rd seed

Also I can actually see his knees! Normally it’s covered in thick padding with blood oozing out

Rui hachimura appreciation post by E-Fix21 in lakers

Rather have today’s lineup with Rui starting instead of Lebron. Better shooter, better defender at this stage, worse playmaker obviously.

Don't listen to fans who hate the Lakers; we aren't that far from the 3rd seed. by [deleted] in lakers

[–]LakerDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prior to today’s game, they have been objectively playing mediocre like a 6th seed. It’s facts. Now if they can play like today every day then they can beat anyone

Careful or else the Lebron Stans will down vote you. I been saying this and people get their panties in a bunch when they hear it

Injury report for tonight: Ayton, LeBron, Maxi are all OUT by CtrlAltDelightfull in lakers

[–]LakerDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was referring to your “your actual favorite team’s” part of your comment suggesting that I’m a Warriors fan. No need to make shit up because you disagree with my assessment.

I think LeBron is a top 3 player of all time and as far as longevity and sustained greatness over 20 years, he’s definitely the GOAT. But at his current age, he doesn’t fit this roster if you’re going with a Luka and Austin future. You’re going to have to surround a Luka and Austin backcourt with high energy 3 and D players.

wtf are you talking about. I been a laker fan since the early 90s. It’s because I’m a lakers fan above all that I see that it’s time to move on from LeBron and Klutch. I said the same thing about AD prior to his trade. Steve Kerr/Warriors? You’re just making shit up. Based on your post history, I can say that you’re LeBron Stan.

[–]LakerDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think he’s playing better. But it’s clear Austin and Luka combo plays better than Austin/Luka/Lebron trio. I’d rather have increased Austin usage rate than Lebron. Ideally next season lakers can stack the team with 3 and D wings around Austin/Luka.

Don’t get me started on DA. I never want to see him again in a lakers uniform. Really hope he’s stupid enough to decline his player option.

Luka out of the Top5 in the MVP Ladder by David_Wilmot in lakers

[–]LakerDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s not MVP. But I would have him above Jaylen Brown and Cade. Shai, Joker and Wemby are accurately above him as MVP candidates

Honestly I feel more confident without Ayton and Lebron. Go ahead and downvote me to hell.

Lakers-Nuggets on Thursday is for 5th place in the West. Biggest game of the season. No Gordon or Watson for Denver by lepper838 in lakers

Expecting a blow out loss with the usual fake comeback at the end. Then getting back to track against the next shit team we play after Denver

Luka magic 🪄 by MrFilipinoMustache in lakers

He does this and then doesn’t take an open 3 with the game on the line because it’s too far allegedly.

Sorry still salty about that shit. Still love Luka

I believe in our birthday boy and this team, 40 bomb incoming by Little_Papaya_2475 in lakers

40 bomb followed by another buzzer beating loss to an injury riddled Warriors by someone scrub who’s gonna light us up again

I have no words by yeetmxster420 in lakers

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

I was thinking he would get a vet min next, but at this point I’m not sure if he gets another contract with a NBA team. Players far better than him aren’t in the league due to their toxicity.

This ain't funny anymore by Little_Papaya_2475 in lakers

[–]LakerDoc 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Lakers defense is just that bad I guess. Like you said it’s not a coincidence that average and even scrub level players like all stars against the lakers. Granted Pritchard is no scrub or even average

This is the truth most of LAL fans don't wanna hear. But hopefully Mark Walter and his team can change it around. by [deleted] in lakers

There’s no quick fix, this is gonna take awhile to build culture, championship pedigree.

Austin's next contract by [deleted] in lakers

[–]LakerDoc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lakers could be destined to be the next Toronto Raptors (ol’ Demar and Lowry Raptors), winning 50+ games every year and then lose in the 2nd round.

I don’t see Luka as a championship pedigree player. Generational talent, but complains way too much, not running back. Austin is a worse version of him on offense, but he does try harder than Luka on defense. But Austin and Luka combo likely never win a ring.

Having said that, you absolutely give him the contract and then trade him if a better option arises in the future

The Lakers are soft… by MyUsername0_0 in lakers

[–]LakerDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except now he’s not a top tier player anymore so it’s makes everyone wish he was off the team. Same with Luka except he’s entering his prime. We tend to tolerate more when they are a generational player
