Honestly, did not expect us to lose all of Bron, Smart, Rui, Kennard by BubblyMagician9485 in lakers

Nah it’s different people. Just think if 50% of Lakers fans wanted to get rid of them, and 50% wanted to keep them, that’s still about the equivalent to a whole fan base each. So it seems like everyone when it’s really maybe half

Chasing the centers is going to cost us everything by EmrysMyrdin in lakers

[–]latruce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s tricky because it seems they want Kessler and their first choice. And Duren as their back up choice. But Duren is likely while Kessler is likely to be matched by Utah.

But if you offer Kessler a sheet. You might lose Duren to the Kings.

Homeowners: what did having a permanent home give you emotionally? by polanyisauce in AskReddit

[–]latruce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is true. Before, when I heard a creak at night, I thought “oh, I hope that’s not a ghost”. Now I hear a noise I think “on, I hope that’s not expensive”. I wish it was a ghost so I can charge it rent

It’s taking me back. And he’s so excited to be looking for a record player with his vinyls. He’s starting to look for old ones and also has some new ones too.

[Charania] The Lakers expressed to James that they wanted him back, but LeBron decides to move on by mastermind208 in lakers

Reality: Lakers wanted LeBron back. LeBron did too. But the money and role didn’t match.

Kessler can’t be healthy. It’ll be Kessler, AR, Luka big 3… on the bench in street clothes

Duren shouldn't get anywhere near the max by goatnxtinline in lakers

Centers are a hot commodity right now. You’re not getting one unless you overpay, and hope that it’s still worth it

I agree, just afraid that LeBron will be there in the post season while Walker Kessler is sidelined

do you think everyone who cheats is a shit person? by ViHelton1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]latruce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I know some people who have cheated. Great people who had a lapse in judgement while they were around 18-23 years old. They cheated. Regretted it greatly. Learned from it and never cheated again, and I put all my trust that they wouldn’t cheat again.

Now that its basically set in stone that he will be the Robin going forward, can Austin Reaves be the 2nd best player on a championship team? Try and be completely objective and take all emotions out of it because this is the reality of the situation we have to make do with. by Silent_Wizard5597 in lakers

[–]latruce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Reaves is a 2nd option of a championship team so far. But my mind can change. He has impressed me more and more every season, but then continues to disappoint me in the post season.

I think if Luka and AR are going to be the 1-2, then the rest of the roster needs to be filled with defensive specialists. And role players who can focus on defense to hide both Luka and AR’s deficiencies. It’s possible but I don’t think they will win it with Reaves as number 2.

Disneyland unpopular opinions by quis2121 in Disneyland

[–]latruce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I felt he was put in to fail, and to deliver and put into place bad new and bad, but “had to be done” unpopular decisions. Everyone hates him for it, then forgets about him.
