lonnie was ultimately lonnie; just not assertive when he needs to be.
They’re not gonna last the entire season. Klay was discussing with the TNT guys how lucky they are having fresh blood that will make it possible for them to have long careers not having to carry the team through 82 games every year. Yeah, I expect either LeBron or Davis to be injury prone with heavy iso and logging minutes. Nothing I hate more than Dubs Curry and Co to match Timmy ring count. But who else will come out from the West? Denver with Murray back? Hopefully.

I guess the Lakers have been listening to Stephen Jackson and thought we were holding lonnie back so they started him for 30 minutes. I guess they found out.
As if Lonnie was going to get any offense going.
Lonnie will get Corey maggettes nickname soon.
This Lakers team reminds of the Aldridge-DeRozan era Spurs, only James-Davis are obviously in a different universe from them.
They're trying to play a more modern rotation, but they have no sizable two-way role players.
He's easily a top 75 player of all-time, but obviously was never going to seriously challenge Duncan.
Still, he had (has?) a shot at ending up in the Malone, Garnett, Nowitzki, Barkley tier.
He’s on a one year contract, so any trade has to have his blessing.
That was only because he was putting up historical PER on that horrible NO team. It highlights how good players look like great players when they are on bad teams as they get to stat stuff. The really great players carry their teams to better records, especially in the regular season. In the playoffs, even the greatest players need a great team around them to succeed.
Nah. That's only if he would have early Bird or Bird rights after the contract ends. He'd only have non-Bird rights. He can't block a trade.
Which makes what he did all the more impressive. Unlike S bag's affluenza ass, Davis didn't get to join a dynasty in progress. Instead, he had a carry a moribund franchise, yet still posted historic efficiency with bad - mediocre, chronically injured talent surrounding him.
Save for James, the only others who might have been able to squeeze more out of that team at that time were Durant and Harden.
I meant the great players carry their teams to respectable regular season records. That’s why I’m not that sold on a guy like Mitc .
What? No he ing isn't a top 75 player. LMAO.
Lonnie is actually playing well with 12 pts in 15 mins in the 2nd quarter. I think the Laker fans are awed with his athleticism and might be in a very good situation tbh. A starter for the Lakers?
Yeah like he didn't have games like this for us occasionally. He's not a terrible player his problem is his low bbiq and terrible consistency. He'll definitely have games where he looks really good though here and there
Except with the Lakers he's actually encouraged to pump his fist for that entertainment factor. It's like a circus, and Laker fans are entertained.
Coach Ham just asked Lonnie smiling, just drive the ball. I think Lonnie will thrive with the Lakers tbh
That's not true. Can't hold everyone to the same standards of Abdul-Jabbar, Bird, Johnson, Jordan, O'Neal, Duncan, James, etc., who mostly had decent or better teams surrounding them.
Great reasoning.
He's looking good and probably the reason they're close with LAC. If he keeps things simple he should be good for the Lakers.
Thanks. Anthony Davis top 75. ing ludicrous. Do you work for ESPN? LMAO.
AD already out with injury
Are you serious? Most of these old fogies had no business making it, the media just lacked the intestinal for ude to remove them because of perceived disrespect.
Among current players, he has as good a case as S bag and they both have better cases than Lillard, Westbrook and Anthony.
Lonnie missing a bunch of wide open 3s
Yeah that was a bad fall from the Kawhi spin move and pump, that took two of Lakers players.
I still can't believe Lonnie is the starting SF for the Lakers
Lakers are ed.
