Hate what this will mean for RealGM and Laker fans popping out of the woodwork.


He's got the length and instincts to be disruptive defender, he just seems somewhat lazy and disinterested far to often o he's saving his energy for offense. He could work out quite well as a 3rd perimeter defender who takes the weakest perimeter threat and is able to play the passing lanes.

But offensively he's going to lead a lot of top flight teams and is built perfectly for today's league. He's got court sense and vision that simply can't be taught. There are lots of Ball haters out there but I believe they're focused on all the wrong things.

He slipped because he doesn't have a position in the NBA. Undersized and doesn't protect the rim at center, can't space the floor at power forward.

Agreed though his jump shot is underrated.

Lonzo bringing that CHino hills game to the NBA. Dude is the perfect running point. Agreed Kuzma looks legit.

Things that people called me crazy on but have been silenced:

- Ball will be a generational talent - now where are they at?
- Kobe won't win us 5 championships - now where are they at?
- I started a thread stating Ball would have a Lebron level impact in his rookie season on a team level - now where are they at?
- Ingram will have PG numbers next season(in partial because of Ball) - now where are they at?

They've all been silenced today, and they know what's coming. Rings. Lots of them. Tatum, Fox, all good players, but not on Ball's level in terms of team impact...not even close.

Ball's performance solidifies Paul George coming here next season. Lakers are going to quickly rise in the west in the next couple of years, and will soon be contenders most likely by year 2 with Ball.


:lol: :lol: :lol:
No one has been silenced yet. And you're still spewing out nonsense.

I want to know who the Celtics version RingsDontLie is :lol: Does he believe that Marcus Smart is the best defensive guard of all time, and that Al Horford has Karl Malone-level impact?

I don't believe we have one, not at least on the 1 year i have been on the Celtic board. We do have a lot of homers though but I don't think we have someone on the level of RingsDontLie :lol:
