LeBron, AD, D-Lo, Reaves, etc are on the court. I’m currently watching the Nuggets without three starters (Jokic, Murray, Gordon) go toe to toe with the Clippers. There are many other examples around the league, and the Lakers BEST PLAYERS are on the floor and their getting blown out the building by halftime.
I’m not buying it. There’s a much deeper issue here. And it’s not because of Vanderbilt, who got benched in the playoffs and a couple others being out. If you expect them to turn this thing around vs contending teams, good luck.
You are correct it’s copium . It’s a dogshit roster the guys were missing none of them are close to needle movers. Rui is a bench players who’s a negative in impact stats every game , Gabe is a streaky shooter n bad offensive pg, vando n cam are my favourite of the bunch but they’re on tiny salaries and are both big negatives on offensively so they don’t actually add positive value .
I’m over it this sub sucks. They cried about Pelinka during Russ time but arguably he’s made even shittier moves since and nobody bats an eye : or Jeanie . What were they thinking demanding kyrie take 2 year extension immediately or they won’t trade for him when he can’t leave for a max without bird rights . This sub is so fucking delusional they think stars are gonna come here after Bron retires: we can’t get stars while he’s here and guys pick the bum ass clippers over us. We have a dogshit fo and everyone knows and I think our scouting is s hit over rated too : jhs is a bust and I tried defending him but his offence is IDEALLY like cades who’s also a bust : but isn’t anywhere as talented . Really just for first time ever don’t know if any purpose to Bron n AD , both have declined since 2020 but we have even worse roster and the roster wasn’t good/great then euther . Pelinka got bad shooyers n no offensive creation and he can’t get away with that now our duo is declined .
