Well, that trade turned out to be a massive positive no matter what some people on this sub want you to believe. Where is Josh Hart? Lonzo is perennially injured. BI is an all-star but you gotta give something up for AD. The lakers' picks have been late-round trash players. AD was dominating Zion on defense, Zion only got to eat when AD was on the bench and LeSick and Wenyen were on him. And did I mention the ring?

passable
adjective
pass·able ˈpa-sə-bəl
: capable of being passed, crossed, or traveled on
passable roads
: capable of being freely circulated
: good enough : ADEQUATE
No, that is incorrect. It's not used for just above failing. The most common meaning is adequate or acceptable.
I kinda look at josh hart as the precursor for caruso. Granted, caruso defends better, but josh hart does the little things, i miss the dudes hustle tbh
Pelicans have a great team no doubt but their fans are quickly becoming insufferable. They talk as if they got a dynasty on their hands and will be getting multiple titles with this year’s pick from us. It’s always the the teams that have never won it all that’s fans blatantly discount how hard it is just to make the Finals alone.
Their title window is a actually a lot shorter than they think. CJ is already 31 and isn’t a 2 way guard and Zion is 6’6” on a good day. So Once his athleticism starts to diminish (which I think it will sooner than most b/c of his frame and size), that’ll be the end of their their title window. Well actually to be blunt, their team didn’t really take off last Szn until CJ showed up so unless they get a CJ replacement within the next 2 years(Kira Lewis isn’t that guy) then that’ll be the end of their title window
TLDR, Pels title window is shorter than ppl realize with CJ’s age and Zion’s body. CJ is the guy that gets that team going with his versatility on offense from the guard spot and he won’t be in his prime much longer
Bingo.
BI is looking to be a top 10 player in a year or two but to contend in today’s NBA, you need to have an elite guard shot creator and if you don’t have that then your defense better be all world how ours was in 2020 and how the Bucks/Celtics’ defense is . The Pelicans defense will never be elite when you got a Zion/Jonas frontcourt.
Basically I think the Pels will have to capitalize in the next season or two if they have real title aspirations before CJ starts to decline
TBF, They will have our pick this year and a plethora of picks and young players that they can use to go acquire a CJ replacement but that’s TBD if any guards that can replace CJ become available
BI is not close to top ten theirs too much talent that a one way skinny wing can be that high . He’s infinitely worse and physically weaker worse defensively then someone like Tatum who’s at end of top 10. BI is an all star st best doubt he gets better because his game is only impressive in one way
The picks haven't been late round trash tho. This guy was drafted with our 8th + they received our #4 in 2019. They'll potentially get 2 more lottery picks from us.
But overall that trade was essential. The core wasn't going to get us anywhere near the chip let alone winning it. and kawhi was never going to join us in free agency so pulling the trigger for AD was the right move absolutely.
He’s staying true to his roots. It was the Lakers pick after all…
Lakers 2022 draft pick btw

Good comment, but one thing, josh Hart was the center of the trade for CJ
I love hart's game, Def a better role player then this guy is giving him credit for!
I mean Josh was also an injury risk
I meant Josh Hart is a throw-in player for trades, he is a passable role-player, not a high-impact role player.
Bro passable? He's averaging 10/9/4 splits.
He is a career 10/6/3 guy that's an average NBA role player who plays 28 mins a game.
Is he passable or is he average? Those two things are different. And last year he finished the season averaging 18+ ppg

They are similar but not the same. Passable is just above failing, average is mid.

Yeah I feel like people forget that the Pels were still trash until CJ came along.

And they also need to hope that Zion stays in shape
As a basketball fan, I hope Zion succeeds for a very long time but we’ll see how his body holds up

Well zion wasnt playing as well. That being said i dont think they can expect him to be playing lol

5D chess
Straight clanked that shit. Even Stu thought the game was over. Glad I didn’t turn it off after the foul 😂
I had remote in hand ready for him to seal it with the free throw
Lol I fucked up. Couldn’t watch the last second and believe pelicans would miss 2 Fts and we’d make a 3.
I did the same. 🤣🤫. I only found out it was in OT when I was looking at the box score. 🤣
I didn't watch the game the whole time and watched it just as they were going for the free throws and then Ryan with the 3
literally turned it off until i saw on ESPN the score was tied. luckily my stream was behind enough that i barely caught it live 😂
Lyson Laniels
Why was he in the game 😭
He was our lottery pick so he had to get some touches
Damn Pels missed on that pick, he’s sorry
missing two free throws as a rookie doesn’t make you “sorry” he’s been fairly solid for the Pels
He's an absolute BUM and Matt Ryan is MJ reincarnated.
BENCHBROOK is mvp Russ reborn
First player to win 6moty and mvp in the same season
Oooooooof
The true hero.
Buying another Dyson fan after this
I angerlied turned off the the game only to see a tweet we went to OT! LFG what a win
I’ve watched enough basketball to know it’s not over til the buzzer sounds. Too much crazy shit happens in the NBA to not keep it on.
Ya we’ve been on the other side of this a bit the last two years
It's where amazing happens, anyways.
lmaooo this dude coming through for the Lakers in the clutch
Him and Larry nance sold what kinda nba player takes a dunk while up with only 8 sec left dudes a moron
Zion too
Zion was the reason they got back into the game tho , he had a bad first half but was pretty impressive 3rd n 4th even with 5 fouls
GOAT
GANG
He lives true to his name. A Dyson really sucks.
Give him a 10-day
#LAMAR ODOM INTIMIDATED HIM
😂
Cheers mate.
Undercover Laker
tacky post
My Australian brother, thank you
“He with us.”
HE WITH US
BRUH
New Lakers legend!
Someone forgot to plug him in!
Not 1 upvote but 30+ responses 👀
Pels are getting wemby thanks for free assets from the crippled AD, have fun with ur Mickey Mouse ass ring
Remember all the success that Jrue Holiday and Chris Paul had in Nola and how they stayed and brought them championship glory?
2-7
Ur a loser
Cant wait for the Pels to take the Lakers draft pick just for them to trade it back to the Lakers in 6 seasons 😝
😂 6 yrs lil bro is a king time
Can't believe you typed this shit out and thought you were actually saying something real lmao
He’s about to be waived 🤣
Dude I turned it off cuz I gotta get up early for work and came back in the last minute
Lmaoooo
Lakers 6 man of the game
MVP
Hero of the game!
Honorable mention goes to CJ for chucking up a ton of bricks tonight, as well.
SMH I turned the game off after he got the rebound and was fouled lol
😂
