Spurs Need to Go All-In

[Killakobe81]

Man, the hedging. made tbh.

What are you rambling about?
You need my attention?

Here are some definitives for you:
1. Lakers make playoffs
2. Lakers win at least one round
3. Lakers wont win le
4. state will struggle to threepeat but get it done.
5. Lakers win a le in the next 3 years
6. Ingram will be a star
7. By end of the year (not regular season) Lakers will be better than Spurs
8. Pop is a top 3 coach all-time and earned my respect even more dealing with this KAwhi fiasco.

There, you happy?

[Killakobe81]

Clips will have about $40 million on the books in 2019, a promising young PG and $22 million of Gallanari off the books in 2020. Lakers counting their chickens again.

Sure.
They are still the Clips.
They get KL good fo them they had CP3 and Blake for years and didn't win .

[Mugen]

You'll hedge on all of those sooner rather than later scrah. I stand by my previous comment my man.

[dabom]

Cursing ... Look above your bold font I acknowledged it's the west.
Sig or Avvy bet Lakers make playoffs?
Double that if Lakers /spurs meet in playoffs?

Sig bet you Spurs whoop lavaliers.

Bump 'em you wanna bet on any of those?
I'll be happy to get that creepy avvy off your posts for a week or a month, the choice is yours.

Lakers’ dreams riding on Lebron’s well worn Achilles and all thise PEDs ain’t helping.

I don't see how the Spurs don't get a 1st. Even if that re ed s bag decides to quite, it would take significant injuries beyond that for them to not finish with a top 10 record.

Even with a mid-late 1st and a late 1st, those can be packaged to move into the late lottery.

I'd also keep an eye on Winslow throughout the season. He made a leap from 3 last season. The Heat have a bloated payroll and low upside. If they sense he's going be too expensive for their taste, would they be willing to get out before having to make that decision?

In Playoffs?
Sure thing, how long a week?
IF they dont meet we will do ot on who advances further regardless of matchups if we get state and get waxed in round 2 and yall make WCF you still win. Deal?
IF same round tiebreaker is whoever wins more games in that round?

Sure. And if both lose in second round, who ever had higher seed.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Alright screw it lets just grab Melo!

[picnroll]

Next years is a crap draft year. Rather have the two seconds if one is from the year they combine two draft classes.

You'll hedge on them bruh. I know your ilk and that's ok. Like i've said before, I like you and you're welcome upstairs but let's call a spade a spade.

Are you asking if I want to make bets with Internet pictures on the line?

Killa, if you don't hedge on any of these for the next year, I'll let you change my avatar to whatever you want. Feel free to keep track. It can be Earvin Jr. tossing a Kawhi crouton salad for all I care

We ascending, y'all descending.

this Lakers team will be better than Last year's cavs. Record may not show that because its the west.
But funny how it was Lebron carried a piss poor roster to the Finals ... until he signed with Lakers.
Now we are worse than the cavs ...GTFO.

since regular season matters we swept yall last year i think once without Lonzo and once without Ingram ...
Now we got Bron.

1. If ascending means getting to the playoffs from last season’s finish...anything is progress if you start from the bottom of the barrel. Took you five years and you punted your draft picks for the most part.
2. LeBron at least had Love and some talented, even if stupid, pieces to work with. Aside from McGee, Rondo, and Stephenson, rest of the cast doesn’t have playoff experience. Talent may be better but playoff experience is little to nil.
3. 3rd to 8th seed for the Lakers, easily. That’s how great LeBron is, not how good the rest of the team is.
4. Congratulations for sweeping the Spurs even if the Spurs didn’t have a full squad.

The Lakers are in a great situation, they win whether they land Leonard this year or not. I don’t understand the Laker fans coming in here telling everyone else how good their team is and how much the Spurs have regressed, but I guess it’s mostly just pent-up frustration from being garbage the last few years. Or is it because the Spurs wouldn’t take the Lakers’ offer which you perceived was better? LeBron tried to give the Lakers some leverage to minimize the exodus of talent while simultaneously getting another All-Star but I guess some things never work out. Enjoy your season with LeBron, Lance, and Lonzo.

Whatever happened to SL MVP Hart by the way? Totally disappeared versus Portland? What was that all about?

Heat don't even consider that without a somewhat valuable pick or prospect and Spurs aren't touching Whiteside. Not only his personality, but the extra guaranteed year from Gasol. When they're out from the latter next off season, Aldridge and Poeltl will be the rotation bigs going forward.

I'd also expect them to attempt to address starting SF then, lose one of Gay or Cunningham and that, along with incoming draft picks, will probably mostly be the team in the near future.

[Killakobe81]

Sure. And if both lose in second round, who ever had higher seed.

Nah because Lakers or Spurs may choose to manipulate seeds like y'all did with 8*
Whoever wins more games in that round seems more fair.
Besides i already said yall would have the higher seed, why would i bet against something I believe?

Pau+Mills+Paul for Fournier+Vucevic

Gets Orl off of Vuc and let's Pau mentor Bamba and leaves us cap neutral next summer with Vuc coming off of the cap and gives us better 3Pt shooting this year from the wing.

Who ever has more wins in whichever round ok. Easy win.

I think they want off of Whiteside bad enough to do that but, it's probably the same reason we won't do it.

"Ascending" isn't that hard when you have nowhere to go but up tbh

APPARENTLY YOU HAVENT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION
1. I have been here almost daily since the rumors started and was advocating a Celtics trade not a LAker one.
2. I didn't come here in this thread to tell you our team is great just that this trade sucks Spur fan brought up the Lakers
3. Hart played OT the game before and had played a bunch of days straight. I did not even want them to win that semifinal I Was hoping teh sexton kid would have nailed his FT's especially after Hart's nose got busted. Hart is a solid combo guard and rotation player. HE will never be an NBA star IMHO but good teams need guys like him. not sure what else you wanted.
4. I agree my confidence mostly stems for Lebro, Maginka and Ingram. I absolutely believe he will be an all-star by next year.
5. I never left when the Lakers won 17 games so why would i leave now that we got Lebron?

[Namundy]

We have always been fairly balanced between winning now and building for the future. I don't expect that to change anytime soon.

Sure me and my 33,000 (damn) has been awfully silent.

[RD2191]

Why the are there even laker fans in here?
