AR15 goes from seasoned pro to G-leaguey, sometimes on the same possession.

Luka's not sad, he just hates not playing.

That's part of the reason he's hurt all the time. He plays through a lot of injuries.

They need to keep him out until they know that the calf is ok. Aaron Gordon is going through the same thing this year and he's not close to 100% even though he's playing.
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

I might like them better than Sacramento and Phoenix. Spurs coming up too though. The bottom 2 spots for the play-in is going to be very competitive.

Blazers will take their spot

They’ve won last 9 out 10 games

It’s going to hit hard when Luka leaves to the join Jokic on Nuggets when his contract is up


I wonder if that might actually happen. He has said he wants to play with him.


Judging how close Luka is with his national team teammates , and how close he was with Mavs org , I’m not saying he will leave lakers , but you have to know that Euros in most part is wired differently eg , Jokic , Luka , Giannis all happy in their relatively small market teams

So it's the Lakers fans agitating in this thread but Jokic and Mavs fans get to write fanfic about Luka and circlejerk about him joining Jokic on the Nuggets?

We'll keep that 2027-2028 cap space warm for you in LA, Joker.

Dude Draymond would be amazing on this team. Absolute defensive savant. He's on Lebrons level when it comes to being a general on that side. Even better than Lebron imo.


In b4 he gets ejected or causes fights and team chemistry :lol: Yeh no thanks.

Curry

Watch your mouth granny, that's an offensive line...:lol:

Anyway, Curry's decline casts doubt on the idea that his game would age well since he doesn't rely on freak athleticism. Seems that old legs ruin everyone's shot, even the GOAT shooter

Steph had old legs early. Mark Jackson would play him triple overtime, no time off.
