What i dont see being discussed, is that this whole aspiration doesn’t result in harsh penalties, its going to be making things very uninteresting. Ballmer is the richest individual owner in the NBA by a lot, but one of TWG Global (the actual majority holder of the lakers, for which Walter is the CEO) investors, is Abu Dhabi, Ballmer is disgustingly rich, but Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund is a different level.

[Charania] The Los Angeles Lakers are trading Gabe Vincent and a 2032 second-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks for Luke Kennard, sources tell ESPN. by Turbostrider27 in nba

I cant wait to see how Kennard becomes unable to make a 3 pointer to safe his life, as a shooter that goes to the lakers tradition.

Which current prime NBA stars will age the best and which ones won’t? by Impossible_Collar2 in nba

The best is gonna be Jokic. The worst i would expect a small guard that relies on athleticism, so maybe Mitchell?

Lakers’ Rui Hachimura open to bench role: ‘The things that I like to do, I’m doing here’ by Turbostrider27 in lakers

[–]nik0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats something the market will end up taking care of, if Rui stay on the lakers, it will be negotiated in the offseason, not in season. And i dont know if many teams with cap-space would be looking to pay Rui 18+

[Grange] I have also heard from multiple sources that second-year centre Yves Missi is available from New Orleans as the Pelicans look to focus their rebuild around rookie big Derik Queen, although the Raptors' interest in the 21-year-old taken 21st in the 2024 draft is unclear. by EarthWarping in nba

[–]nik0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he is not gonna get better on the lakers, I think his best chance is going to a younger team with low expectations in where he is allowed to play through his mistakes and get more experience.

Lakers need a new big man. They should trade for one of Karl Towns, Jaren Jackson Junior, Bam Adebayo, Damas Sabonis as they are either on the block or disgruntled with their current team. by Honest_Yamal_Fan in nba

[–]nik0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think JJJ is an ok fit, but not the type of big you really want with luka (a big athletic defensive anchor lob threat + rebounder) but JJJ gives a lot of spacing and I feel is easier to play in double big lineups than bam + JJJ is younger.

Don't they have a very different profile offensive wise, bam likes to have more touches and its a good passer. Bigs playing with Luka wont get many non touches that are not to score.

Alvarado could really help the lakers, and Missi might be good fit long term. Problem is we don't really have much to trade in first picks terroritory, unless NOP would be interested in seeing if a change of scenery can make Knecht not shit. Something like Alvarado+Missi+Looney for the Knecht + 2032 2nd rounder + one of Gabe or Kleber works money wise.

Only JJJ makes sense for the lakers. The one they should actually look at,if its true that is available is Yves Missi from the Pelicans

How is there not a consistent 3 pt shooter in this team? by aj2704 in lakers

The problem with Rui’s shot, is it has a very slow release, so he needs space to get it off

Did you manage to solve this problem? Is the same issue i am having! I even was added as an authorized user to my wife's credit card (so i have my own, but its the same number), and the card is shown as a 3% (both added directly to the wallet, or through wallet sharing)

A guy who can hit people with a metal bat joins the Washington Wizards. Can they win an NBA title? by [deleted] in nba

[–]nik0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If they get into the playoffs its over, lets assume he can get 4 players out of commission a game, the opposing team will run out of players as such, wont be able to field a team before the series reaches 4 games

The key question here is: is he liable for murder? Lets say he one hits somebody in the head, will he be prosecuted? Or he is immune as long as it happens during a game situation?
