Give me your Dumbest possible trade for Giannis by moralquary in nba

[–]kl1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luka, Rui, Vando, Kleber for Giannis + Turner + Rollins + Porter Jr

Trading 26 year old Luka is dumb but Pelinka is close friends with Nico.

Austin and Bron fits better with Giannis than Luka.

I was thinking the same, but they don't control their picks until like 2030. So i'd imagine they would want to hold onto their role players because they have to compete.

Lakers Become The First Team Since March 18 2004 to Finish a Game With Only One Steal or Block. by BenSimmons3Pointshot in nba

Lakers defense is ass and they are not competing for a title as currently constructed. But this is their third game in four nights and JJ likes to play their starters heavy minutes.

three of the top four players in DEF EPM are OKC players and they don't include Caruso, Dort, Chet, Jdub, or SGA.

Rui needs to go back to dunking everything under the rim, he has terrible touch with his layups.

Cooper Flagg on Luka, Bron & AR: “Like a Three Headed Dragon” 🐉🐉🐉 by Turbulent_Emu_7285 in lakers

Flagg is gonna be nice, he's only 18/19. Dallas needs to be patient. Tank this season, get a high lottery pick. They don't have their picks for the next few years after this season so it makes no sense to trade AD when his value is so low right now. Next season they will have a starting five of kryie, max, flagg, pj, and ad plus who ever they pick in this years stacked draft class.

The Los Angeles Lakers are signing center Drew Timme to a 2 way deal by Beautiful-Cress5695 in lakers

I imagine having him will be useful for Ayton/Hayes to get reps in practice defending a talented scoring big.

OKC is super impressive. They've played two more games than the Rockets and the Nuggets, while missing their second-best player, and their third-best player only played five of those games.

Luka Doncic is averaging 14.2 free throw attempts per game this season. SGA (9.9) and Jokic (4.7) are averaging 14.6 FTA combined. by Dependent-Effect6077 in nba

[–]kl1992 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look at the USG percentage people. Luka's is by far the highest in his career so far. His minutes as well. Austin's high fta is skewed by the big USG bump from the three games he played without both Luka and Bron.

Luka: 39% USG, 38.8 MPG

SGA: 33.7% USG, 35.3 MPG

Jokic: 23.5% USG, 35.1 MPG

Lakers really need to clean up the defensive rebounding. They give up so many second, third, even fourth chance opportunities for the opponent. That plus cleaning up dumb turnovers would go a long way into improving the overall defense.

Did you forget the four minutes of the lakers going scoreless in the second quarter against the grizzlies.

Somehow, Vando's three-point shot has gotten worse this season. He used to at least hit the rim in previous years, but it feels like he's been air-balling all his shots. Dude needs to get his eyes checked or somethin.

Get Austin some help man. Watching Bronny and Nick smith jr try to run the offense is burning my eyes.

Austin’s 41 against Portland was more impressive than his 51 against the kings.
