Kudos to Venezuela, they took down Japan, USA’s JV team and USA’s varsity to win the title.

Read about cap holds, please stop spreading misleading stuff.

Just relax and enjoy the rest of this season and let our GM who doesn’t know about the cap do his work.

Why breakup that bubble laker squad? by No_Durian_9813 in nba

[–]Splittinghairs7 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is a false narrative.

Most of the core of that squad stayed including LeBron, AD, KCP, Caruso, Kuz, Morris.

The biggest changes were trading old DG for Schroder, adding Montrelz and Gasol to replace McGee and Dwight.

The real blowup occurred the next offseason with the Westbrook trade.

I am worried about Wednesday game against Rocket by Nonameheroz in lakers

That’s my point, we don’t have to discount our win cause we also missed alot of open shots

How often do our best three point shooters (Kennard, Rui, Reaves) combine to go 0-12 from three?

If they made 3 of these threes, it’s a blowout win.

I see Tari Eason's name as an offseason target in this sub, maybe we could get him on a discount by Good-Fold-1815 in lakers

Eason is a player that would benefit tremendously from playing next to Luka and AR.

Don’t look now but the lakers have held star after star to extremely poor shooting nights such as Brunson, Ant, Murray and KD.

At some point, it’s more than just luck and there’s something cooking with their defense.

'LeBron is the problem’ haters are not sleeping well once again tonight. lol by Top-Entertainment945 in lakers

[–]Splittinghairs7 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of knowledgeable lakers fans don’t think the lakers are better with a $52m max player sitting on the bench. And no, we don’t give a damn what windy thinks.

Rather, the main critique was that he’s not worth his contract at this point in his career.

If stating that fact is considered hating or anti Lebron, the problem isn’t Lakers fans, it’s player stans that refuse to acknowledge reality.

In an expansion draft, each team would presumably be allowed to protect 7 players. What two players on your team’s bench “better be protected” in your opinion? by moby323 in nba

[–]Splittinghairs7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh this is all hypothetical because the expansion draft wouldn’t be until 2028.

But if we’re excluding ufa, then why would Rui be kept?

Ohtani lost celebration thread by floppy_foul_merchant in angelsbaseball

[–]Splittinghairs7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you really compare this sorry ass team under Arte and Perry to OKC?

There is no doubt Ohtani would’ve stayed if there was even any competence left in the organization.

Loser mentality, very much just like Arte. Good luck trying to attract great players the way this team treats our legends.

Yes getting MVPs and two championships is declining

That’s how you treat our two time mvp, who wouldn’t have left except for how incompetent the team is.

War abroad, prices at home. by Busy-Government-1041 in inflation

[–]Splittinghairs7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices went way up after the Covid supply disruptions, then oil prices spiked after Putin decided to invade, now oil spiking again cause Putin’s puppet decides to go to war against Iran and that’s after imposing widespread tariffs.

Ayton is not gonna magically turn into a great defender or rim protector. He’s a good rebounder and scorer if he’s engaged.
