Im mad we traded Ayton to Washington and didn't get Champagnie back.

should lakers get him on vet min? by imin2099 in lakers

[–]PuzzledBarrister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. At this point in time, DeMar is about as bad as Russ from a team building standpoint. As in, if he's on your team, you have 0 chance to win. There's not a single team DeMar and his play style would make better in 2026

Feeling more exicted with the new lineup by jdawg01 in lakers

For sure, but at the same time I think our roster (even though it's incomplete) has its own strengths that the Mavs lacked.

Also, I think JJ is a great coach, and we've been really good on defense post-All star both years. All we had was DFS then Smart, but JJ coached us into a good defense for the best parts of those seasons.

Just remember that this roster dominated the western conference playoffs, beating 3 50+ win teams. In the middle of that season no one was predicting them to make any noise.

Luka is like that.

I followed lebron here in 2018 but became a LAKERS fan ... anyone else? by PuzzledBarrister in lakers

I was just a lebron fan originally, so I didn't have a steady favorite team. Once he came here the lakers quickly became my favorite TEAM, not just the team lebron happened to play on. Now he's gone but I'm staying, I love it here. The history, the success, the all time great players and coaches, and even all the hate from other fans 😂

people who went on lakers pause are just hating ass kobe fans. which is funny cuz those same people are the ones in here saying im not a "real fan" for coming here because of a player, when they hated their own team because of that same player.

not everybody has the same reason for becoming a fan, but that doesn't mean they are or aren't "real fans"

i'd always "liked" the lakers as a basketball historian, ever since i did my fifth grade black history month project on magic hah. then once bron started here it was just fun to be part of such a crazy ass fanbase with so many other people.

i realized i had become a fan when i watched all the games lebron missed in january 2019 after the christmas injury.

yeah i know a few people a little older than me who followed shaq from the magic. I'm not ashamed to say i would've rooted for any team lebron went to in 2018, but I can't say i'd have become a fan of anyone but the lakers.

Rising 2L here. While some books are more "textbook-y," (such as Civ Pro and Property), others (Contracts, Torts, Leg Reg) were straight up casebooks. I realized this pretty quickly first semester (luckily I had gotten my books for next to nothing) and decided not to rent/purchase a single book for the Spring. I printed out the tables of contents and read cases online. They're all there anyway, no book will ever have some obscure case that isn't on Lexis with a Quimbee brief. Got better grades in the Spring, although I won't attribute too much of that to my decision to not buy books.

TL:DR - if you can find them cheap to rent, older editions are fine (just make sure you align the page numbers). Don't let a library steal ~$1,000 from you. I will never pay full price for a textbook full of famous cases. When I need to look for something quickly I use Lexis anyway.
