They're a slow, plodding team with that Drummond-washed AD frontcourt.

Much like his little brother Payton, Drummond is really subtraction by addition.

Drummond going from being benched in Cleveland and then being waived by the Cavs of all teams

to being the starting center for the Los Angeles Lakers and still playing like trash Is the biggest con job the league has ever seen outside of Elfraud Payton starting for the New York Knicks.

i have no idea why they ever messed with their center spot. it was such a strength for them. nothing they have done from gasol to trez to this big dummy made any sense.

I know he's coming back from injury but AD's always been a little soft for being opposed to playing the 5 (except in the playoffs). It's clearly his best position, particularly in today's NBA.

AD-Bron is the best frontcourt in the league. Add a useless center to that mix and they lose what makes them special.

Jeff Green would've been valuable for that team than this platter of washed bigs.


they just needed someone who could bang with the guys who would wear down ad for 20 minutes or so and be mobile on d and protect the paint. they had 2 of those guys. now they have none.

I don’t even bother to watch their games anymore. I just find the “dribble to death and only pass it if I can’t score” offenses, boring. Super talented, have been in on him from the beginning & wanted him desperately, but until they figure out that Luka could be even more lethal as a secondary option off the ball for multiple plays, they’re going to be limited.

Ppl always went nuts over the Steph one on one highlights but fail to recognize his off ball stuff is what made that GSW offense so potent

They don't have enough ball handlers. Brunson is solid, but not someone you'd trust with a full-time starting PG position.

That team is fool's gold. They'll lose in the 1st round no matter who they play. We have a better shot at making the 2nd round.

Lakers are not getting out of the West even if LeBron and AD are healthy. The actual defensive contributors and tough mentally guys are gone. There is no Rajon, no Dwight, no even Javale. Javale and Dwight are like 10 times better than Drum defensively and he is not there to score points on dumb-ass possessions.

I can't stand LeBron but I wouldn't underestimate his greatness. He'll have Drummond looking like Shaq.

Lakers and Heat are going nowhere this season. I could tell by the way they let themselves get mad handled by the Mavs. Eff those guys.

When you consider the Hornets are without their #1 and #2 options, they are pushing up against the "loaded" category. They will be a problem next year.
