You've gotta admit, he seized the role and has run with it. I could do without the cheap shots to other guys' genitals, but otherwise, let him cook.

Is this sustainable though? Reaves, Hachimura, and D-Lo need to step their games up

this dude is just unbelievable.

He's the 6th player in NBA history to make it to year 21

Robert Parish, Kevin Willis, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter, and Dirk

Combined, they averaged around 24 ppg. LeBron is at 26.4

Granted, everyone but KG was at least 40 in their 21st season, but still.
BaF Lakers:

Nikola Topic/Kasparas Jakucionis
VJ Edgecombe/Jrue Holiday
Shaedon Sharpe/Cedric Coward
Kyle Filipowski/Collin Murray-Boyles
Alex Sarr/Clint Capela

Bench: Malcolm Brogdon/Hansen Yang/Rocco Zikarsky/RJ Luis Jr.

if those 3 are the solution to relieving his burden - the outlook isn't looking very good.


I don't see how the production with the usage at his age is sustainable. i'm just going to enjoy the ride until the wheels come off.

They’re the team that will end up trading for Lavine. They still won’t be in it the finals tho. LeBron should actually leave. Go back to the heat or cavs lol

I get why chanel hates AD - he is along for the ride. he is the one who should be unburdening Bron. sure one game he'll give us some wilt stat line but then the next game against sabonis he is giving channing frye stats. they really needed to get him someone who is always wet.

He’s a big disappointment. He claimed he’s hurt but he always is. They could trade him but I don’t think you can get a player like him back. Everyone knows he can’t give full effort all the time.

You'd think the Raptors or Magic would be in on getting LaVine.

The Kings could sneak in for him with an offer as well.

would be interesting what teams would be interested and what he would command on the market.

A team might trade for him if they had 2 stars already. He could be the 3rd star then and could focus more on defense and not have to score every game. Can’t think of who would do that and also who has the players to give the lakers.

I hated how he was crowned as a superstar/top 5 player in the league for a decade by journalists who wanted to sound interesting. He was the condescending pick of the basketball intelligentsia for damn near ten fcking years.

"He's made the playoffs twice and won 1 playoff series in 7 years in NO so you don't see him play (implied: you're a casual) but trust me I know what I'm talking about this guy is better than Curry and Harden"

Dude's a great second option when he's even fit to play but he's not the guy, never has been, and never will be.

it's the latter part. the lakers aren't going to get what they need from a team looking for that 3rd piece.

I mean AD is basically a souped up kp with a worse jumper at this point
