LA Lakers

[brownbomber]

with the way the nba has shifted towards small ball lineups, a point guard was the better pick in my opinion. just look at the low post beasts in the nba today specifically al jefferson and zach randolph. the memphis grizzlies just shifted to a small ball lineup with zbo coming off the bench. the lakers havent had a capable pg since the d-fish days.

 

also, clarkson is a natural scoring guard with passing ability, not a point guard.

 

however, if the lakers were truly trying to compete this year, maybe mudiay, the more finished of the top two pg's, would have been the better pick

Not really...only team that that is using small ball lineup officially are the GSWarriors...theres no shift...sure some incorporate small ball rotations in their lineup...but not all are succesfull...only GSW is succesfull...because of curry...just look at the 2nd ranked team in the west...as ive said..PGs are a dime a dozen in the league...also the next 2 year future college draft picks are full of higly rated PGs and SGs...besides why would you shift to small ball...when we all know the lakers are always succesful with a dominating big men in the middle...not with a dominating PG....

 

Besides its highly debatable regarding the potential of russel vs okafor...even mudiaye plays better than him....

There's actually a lot of teams using small ball now, not just the Warriors. The Pacers are doing it, Heat, Raptors, Clippers, Mavericks, Pelicans, Spurs, Thunder, Wizards. It's just the way the game is being played now along with the rules of the game being changed in order to space the floor with shooters and give advantage to guards like Curry and Westbrook.

 

If you remember the Lakers tried it out with Dwight but it didn't really work out. Even now, with Houston, they're not exactly doing good either.

 

They need to adapt to the way the game is being played now. Plus at the moment, i have yet to see any big man that can be considered a superstar player that can be compared to the Laker bigs like Shaq, Kareem, or Wilt

Tambak na naman kanina

[sanjeeva]

Go LaKers

[Air Jordan]

Bye Kobe Bryant, Hello Jordan Clarkson.

[blackmamba11]

Hello mga fellow Laker Nation members. Kobe leading vote-getter sa first returns ng all-star with more than 700k votes. That's more than LBJ + KD combined. Mukhang sure starter na si Mamba. Also, agree ako sa pag pick kay DLo Russell. Magdedevelop din yan into a Damian Lillard type of player basta mabigyan ng chance. Lakers for Life!!!

[happybloke]

Last hurrah for kobe, and i don't think sympathy votes kay kobe. He's been an all star for how many seasons, and un nga he was injured last yr.

 

Hopefully, when kobe retires, they need to get somebody to replace the gap or somewhat try to fill the gap that is kobe bryant.

The Lakers stil have a long way to go in becoming contenders again. Ganyan talaga lahat naman ng young teams dumadaan sa ganyang pagsubok.

Proud laker fan since 1996. Rookie year ni kobe yan.

Napapaisip nga ako kung pagretire ni kobe e ganun padin pagmamahal ko sa lakers e. Anong opinion nyo fellow laker fans?

[paowee24]

If laker fan ka tlaga kahit wala na si kobe laker fan ka pa din. Eh di sana kobe fan ka nalang.. kaya nga nauso ang Bandwagon.. kung san napunta si lebron sunod ang mga mokong..
