Lakers: Lol Longo Bell

[LkrFan]

Got embarrassed by an undrafted PG. That was PATHETIC tbh.

[LkrFan]

And Lakerfan actually thinks this scrub bust is better than Tatum.

That's not what I said

[Raven]

You are the Lakers brass and worked out Kyle Kuzma - who blew you away in your private workouts. Even made a promise they would draft him if he cancels workouts with other teams. Knowing you got a potential diamond in the rough in Kuzma, and Lonzo grew up in LA (so they knew him even before he blew up at UCLA), why would they NOT draft Lonzo over Tatum - who is a TAD bit better than Kuzma...maybe. Let's compare the two who play the same positions (a better comparison tbh):
●Kuz: 20.4ppg, 4.4rpg, 1.4apg (TS%: 54.8%, 3PT: 26.7%, FT: 87.5%)●Tatum: 18.8ppg, 9.6rpg, 2apg, (TS%: 53.6%, 3PT: 27.3%, FT: 90%)

We knew we were getting rid of D'Angelo Russell, so we had to draft a PG. The question was would it have been Fultz, Fox, or Ball.

So my question is, if the Lakers knew what they had in Kuzma and knew what Lonzo could become, would it NOT be better to have them both - at the expense of drafting Tatum? I won't deny Tatum's talent, but I'd rather have both Lonzo and Kuzma instead.

I said this before, the original sin was drafting Julius Randle. Had you guys drafted Zach Lavine instead (which was never in play), you would have drafted Porzingis the year after, while avoiding the Mozgov, Deng debacle. You could have then drafted jaylen brown (granted, by actually making good picks, you wouldn't have been the worst team in the league the last 5 years, but still) and the year after went with tatum, since a sf would be the only thing missing.

Lavine, Brown, Tatum, Lebron, Porzingis.

Now that's something to be excited about.. But you guys were too ignorant, I'm afraid.

I actually wanted Embiid, but yeah, no disagreement with your post.

Rondo's -21 in 17 minutes kept them Mav s in the game

[LkrFan]

Caruso > Gonzo
Kuzma > Brandoff

Watch lakerfan throw them under the bus though like they do with Nance

DSJ sucked Donkey balls last night tbh

I will hand it to Ball he had an aight game. But, for every one of the aight games, he has 10 games.

Correct. He is inconsistent.

Yeah, and that had little to do with gonzo DSJ is just not a very good player tbh, bad decision making, terrible footwork, inconsistent shooting form...he has ways to go to be a legit starting guard

[midnightpulp]

Correct. He is inconsistent.

D'Aaron Fox tonight and this year (although anyone can score in today's NBA, so take it for it's worth).

Fox killing it tbh. He pissing me off to the highest degree of pisstivity

D. Fox........31pts, 10 reb, 15 assists


This is what Laker fans truly believed this is what they would get from Longo.

Not gonna happen.

1. Nope. No one with any brains thought he would drop 30 ptint triple doubles he barely scored 30 a few times in college ...
2. what sux is Fox wanted us and we liked him ...

but again still early
and btw I liked Fox better than Fultz ...

But where you are right, in modern nba fox can drop 30 and a washed Rose can get 50 ...

[LkrFan]

Zo is shooting 41% from downtown (so far)

[lebomb]

1/4 from 3 range last night.

[BD24]

Getting outplayed by the corpse of Rondo again .

This is trash tbh. Lonzo is a bust, just accept it Laker fans. I know its hard to swallow that yall spent a number 2 pick on this pos.

[LkrFan]

1/4 from 3 range last night.

Any of them 3 misses look like this:

I doubt it

Comparing Lonzo to terrible players like Dennis Smith and Fultz doesn't make him any less ty

Like I said, 1 decent game and then several shows in a row. Im afraid Lonzo is probably a bust. He just cant do it at this level on a consistent basis.
