Bron out there at age 39, in year 21, still being one of the best players in the league. That's a truthful statement.

Yes, indeed. One of the 50 best players in the league.

This one isn't the FO's fault. Signings all made sense on paper. Imo Lakers should ger a coach who is either really good at one aspect or a non-player coach that can make the tough decisions, because player-coach has just become code for anyone willing to accommodate low iq ball. Even with the injuries their floor is just really really lower than it should be.

Yes, I agree, the problem is: he passed then he needs to shoot and vice-versa. Decision-making is very important thing.
Gotta love how the guy who used to glaze me in my DMs and beg for my takes on player peaks now has me quoted in his sig

Also, decision making is evaluated over a totality of one's career; not the latest play they made
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

28th rated offense
Dead last in 3pt shooting.
This is worst than that pathetic start to last season. It's shocking to me how bad this has been. This is not a team that's built to lean on its defense to win games. This is an offense leaning roster, and they've been basically non-functional at that end.
Someone has to answer for this. Lebron and AD are both rocking 63ts% and 60 and 57efg% and the Lakers are still a woeful inefficient team from the field.

Good players simply know when the ball will go in the basket. Every shot taken that does not go in is a bad decision, as is every pass to someone who takes a shot that does not go in.

You know what, take it further, playing on teams that do not win the title is a bad decision. Playing in games that your team does not win? Also a bad decision.

Totally agree: career "Decisions" - its LeBron's superpower!

Nahh his real Superpower is in the film room, which appears unfamiliar to you considering most of your posts are on par with gossip blogs and I've never seen an actual game breakdown related one from you

Explains why you felt the need to constantly message me for my opinion because all of your takes are just copied from other people. If you're going to base your basketball personality on other men's takes I'd suggest you find someone intelligent to parrot that actually feels like giving you the time of day when you're in their PMs
Edit: I can already feel PaulieWall's blood pressure rising reading this so I'm gonna do the right thing and just shut the f*** up on this topic

Heej and Gregoire warned for baiting. I am locking this thread for 24 hours until the immaturity levels die down a bit.

Seems unlikely, LaVine is making big money. Would take something like Russell/Rui/Reaves just to match, and I think y'all have only 1 1st to add. And I'm not sure if Chicago can't do better than that splitting the two.
I bought a boat.
