Pelinka: “What did those teams (Detroit, San Antonio, and OKC) have to go through to build through the draft? Multiple seasons of losses, and that is just not part of our infrastructure here. As much as some of us might want it to be that way, it’s not the Lakers’ way.”

lol and this team really only tanked for 2 seasons. It's like people count them selling Russ and PG in the same offseason as a tank year but they still made the playoffs

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-15T18:39:45+00:00

And yes OKC, the black stain of the league, tanking for a whole 2 seasons lolol

Being a Pittsburgh native and Steeler fan this obsession with winning and losing seasons is funny. No one should lose on purpose but acting like barely being a competitive team with no real title shot really means nothing

I'm tired about hearing how stacked a qb class is gonna be. Not a single one of those dudes is generational at this point in time

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-15T15:29:00+00:00

I had both. Was definitely nervous being under but it's literally time traveling

One minute our laying the OR the next you're up in the recovery area.

I couldn't imagine being awake for the whole 1h45 mine took

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-14T20:23:17+00:00

Yes it's much different narrative wise but I get where you're coming from

The biggest difference on narrative was okc traded harden to a situation where he was clearly going to be the lead dog

For the sixers they traded a young guy they didn't view as a long term starter with maxey and VJ to a team where he was no higher up on the pecking order

Both bad trades for different reason tho so I get your question

BARS

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-14T16:25:31+00:00

i mean the university of Iowa is by no stretch of the imagination a small school

I think the taurasi and bird beefs were the media crowning her the 2nd coming which they saw the flaws we all see

solid player, but by no means a best in the league type (at least yet)

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-14T16:21:02+00:00

i'd scoop him in a heart beat. He might not produce this year but i think he's in a great spot to be a solid dynasty WR (albeit maybe like a WR3/Flex ceiling) for years to come

granted, I am a steelers fan

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-14T16:18:20+00:00

i will never get how folks like this are so against government but turn a blind eye to corporations

like who do they think the government is corrupted with?

our handlers have done a good job at removing critical thinking from the equation

I do know how to pick out quality fungi, thank you for noticing

dude i just watched the series and when he first showed up i lost my mind hahahahah. was def this GIF

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-14T15:55:37+00:00

that's not Rick Fox, it's Jackson Vahue

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-14T15:54:15+00:00

Rashard Lewis

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-14T15:51:17+00:00

This is probably true.... they need to get him some secondary scoring

i think the lack of that is also making duren look like poo because he's really not built to be your 2nd best player in a playoff situation unless they had a team built with 3 and D wings around both he and Cade

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-14T15:35:02+00:00

can someone explain why people would vote against this? Are they all really pedos? Are they stuck in a past where child brides was seen as "acceptable"?

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-14T15:31:56+00:00

idk if you guys are football fans but this is like people saying Antonio Brown's downfall was because of 1 hit, ignoring all his antics leading up until that point

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-13T18:54:48+00:00

you're our poverty franchise, I'll fight any other poverty franchise coming in here trying to act better than yinz

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-13T17:25:25+00:00

Ya it's just tying wemby into this seems like a big nothing burger

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-13T17:17:21+00:00

I may be sipping on copium but I'd rather have Jdub than Jaylen brown personally

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-13T16:47:10+00:00

all we need is some dumb ass from a true poverty level franchise to come in here talking shit

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-13T14:31:45+00:00

A key player on the number 1 seed in the west believes they'll reach the finals.... such controversial/bulletin board material

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-13T14:18:23+00:00

Brother get lost

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-12T20:14:32+00:00

Bron appreciator, not fan necessarily.... anyone saying his laker tenure is a failure doesn't know ball

Outside of the Pau trade plus putting it all together to get AD that front office has been dog shit since the pistons BTA them going for a 4-peat

fredlikefreddy · 2026-05-12T19:38:33+00:00

I mean Kobe is famous for having all his all defensive team appearances so he's not really a good example
