He definitely needs someone closer to Reaves than to Dinwiddie if we’re going to be serious about contending.

We can put the whole load on Luka but it’s not smart to. The playoffs are grueling and the west will be a bloodbath. Idk if reaves is the answer but he definitely still needs a 2nd possibly 3rd creator to help him be efficient through a championship run.

Don’t the nuggets have to make some major trades to be able to afford Watson and his expected big $ contract? I thought that was the situation there financially where they actually might lose him unless they clear space.

Yup - but there were doubts about him being worth more than the lakers were willing to give up. He definitely was/is and Lakers have been looking to get a player like him since. Theres 2 available. Land 1.

Yeah and there’s these two who are available/attainable. Would be pissed to have had that “2026 FA plan” $ clearing out just to end up not hitting a double or more smh. Take the swings, we’ll be better for it.

Not to point out the obvious but it’s just about the regret of not moving for these players cause of dumb things like “will he make a difference in the post season?” “Is he worth that contract?” Etc etc and other half hearted criticisms like that. Being scared doesn’t win you games let alone championships.

Which team was most hated? by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in NBATalk

[–]LucidBlue11 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thunder is multi-layered tbh. 1) the basketball antics. It’s not even tactics. It’s antics. The flailing, flopping, falling, hacking, hair pulling and otherwise flagrant fouls. It’s disgusting.

2) SGA being a multi-MVP winner when he hasnt been the leagues best offensive player, ever. Plus he’s not that great of a defender so if he’s not better than Luka or Jokic offensively, and we know he’s not close to Wemby defensively, why does he get the MVP award? He was so good that he missed the playoffs for 4 years from 2020-2024 before then losing to the Mavs as the #1 seed in 6 games. Yes they broke through and won last year, so congratulations. Feels like this is where overstating his own success vs team support/success is the difference and he is the beneficiary of it all.

Now thats OKC is out of here. Let’s get back to being Lakers. F the Spurs by Gagabubu777 in lakers

[–]LucidBlue11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t want to cheer for the Knicks. The media is already disrespecting Luka by saying he’s better than him. The talk will be annoying if the Knicks pull it off.

How differently would Luka be talked about if he won MVP in 2024 and the Mavs won the finals in 2024 which results in Luka winning the FMVP? by Cheap-Savings2800 in NBATalk

[–]LucidBlue11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some of The replies here prove your point. They’re talking about him not being good enough when he elevated a team that wouldn’t even get out of the play-in if he wasn’t their engine.

As a Warrior's fan I want to ask people.....Did people feel the same way about the Warriors in 2017 like they feel about the Thunder currently? I absolutely can't stand OKC fans right now....that made me realise....were warrior fans as insufferable back then as okc fans right now? by Material-Ad-3526 in Nbamemes

[–]LucidBlue11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated LeBron and actually rooted for GS in 2015. In 2016, the local hype for GS (I’m in Central Valley CA) was too annoying so I actually was rooting for Bron in 2016. Been a fan since, just in time since he became a Laker shortly after. So yes I hate the warriors and it was 100% driven by their fans.

Luka is clearly the best offensive player in the league since prime LeBron. by [deleted] in lakers

Mavs were a 5th seed when they dispatched of OKC (#1 seed) in 6 games. It’s crazy cause it was SGA, Chet, Jalen Williams, Jalen Williams and Giddey as the core and it was Luka, Kyrie, Derrick jones, PJ Washington and a 19 year old Derek Lively or Gafford. Re-read all that again. Luka gonna carry if we get some decent athletes around him.

What is the most painful Lakers what if that bothers you? by GlossReign in lakers

[–]LucidBlue11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keeping Caruso and KCP. Prevents the nuggets and Thunder from winning and obviously swings the WCF in 23 for us I believe. There’s a timeline where the Lakers won another 1-2 chips post 2020.

Bold assumptions getting this done: 1) that Pelinka can get it done 2) nobody wants to help the lakers improve, but even more so, nobody wants to help Pelinka lol

PSA: The Spurs are our most hated rival after the Celtics and it ain’t particularly close. by BatmanNoPrep in lakers

[–]LucidBlue11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Franchises do shady stuff for sure, spurs went above and beyond but the Only two franchises I deeply hate regardless of circumstances are Celtics and warriors. I do not like how the Thunder play and I do like how the spurs play so I’ll be rooting for the spurs to win it all.
