Is Kuzma getting enough help?

[PickernRoller]

I think no one argues that Kuzma has become, officially, the most valuable Lakers player.

However outside of the Young Drip King, he isn't getting enough help to get the team over the finish line.

Drops 39 but the rest of the cast gave up all that production away by playing no defense.

What pieces would you trade to build around him?

LeBron has to be traded, he is a liability at this point

Terrible leader, terrible defender, hinders development of younger players, etc.

[PickernRoller]

I agree. I think we can still dump Lebron on some foolish GM for some good assets. One more year in the books and the dude won't fetch anything...

[RealSkipBayless]

Lebron should've been traded for AD.

Imagine Lebron off the team so Lonzo and Ingram could have the keys to the offense and flourish?

Lonzo
Bullock
Ingram
Kuzma
AD

And with plenty of cap space to go after another big name like Kawhi. Slide that boi in place of Bullock? You got title contention for the next 6-8 years.

Unfortunately, since no FA want to play with Lebron, Kuzma will be traded as a result and the Lakers will be fringe contenders for a couple years.

We can land both KD and Kawhi in free agency if Lebron is out of the picture.

He's holding the franchise hostage at this point.

Naw, man they going to the Knicks :pimp: well prolly not Kawhi.

[PickernRoller]

One can never be too greedy. I don't mind seeing the Knicks succeed if we stink it up. Ruling the East is your birthright. Just like it's ours in the West.

[Duncan21formvp]

Lebron for Zach Lavine

[BigKobeFan]

Lebron for a 2nd round pick

[3ball]

Not a single lebron fan itt. It's a tough reality for them

[PickernRoller]

Like getting hit with a brick wall. Not a nice feeling I bet... :(

[MrFonzworth]

Only one of the options is an addition by subtraction.

I'll give you a hint: it's not Lonzo, Rondo, KCP, JaVale or Hart.

Thank magic and his queer mate pelinka for fu*king this one up royally..

Bran for ad would have been perfect

Yeah that pairing is suspect as hell. Pelinka always looked like he could fly if he tried.

Yikes he's not even on the team anymore!

[masonanddixon]

Unfortunately not. He plays with that choking bum lebron james who always disappears in big games and plays no defense ever.

[PickernRoller]

I think his ghosts acts are not as damaging as his consistent no show on defense in each and every game. It's like having a free lane to exploit every game.

Some (for obvious reasons) would love to stress the idea that it's just trolling (more of the same) but most voters understand that behind the thin veil of mockery there lies some real truth in the situation surrounding the Lakers.

That's why posters are engaging and responding positively to the polls. No matter the shenanigans going around.

Straight facts. It is pretty hilarious how they call the truth tellers like us trolls just like u said:lol. 6 and 5 rings will always be better than 3 asterisks for rings.

We should be having a team with stars in their prime contending for rings... instead we dealing with a washed up veteran collecting a max. :facepalm

Should copyright my sh1t. Give Jeff some free publicity by putting ISH on the viral world of memes.... for a few free alts of course. Outsource management to Simon. Just has to svck off Kobe instead. I don't think he would mind.

[PickernRoller]

We shall see soon enough if Kuzma's teammates are genuine in taking some of the load off Kuzma's back.

[PickernRoller]

My boy drops 21 on them "Kings" in the third and we net the biggest win in weeks...

[Smoke117]

Love how the Lebron haters try and put this fukking scrub up on a pedestal. Kyle Kuzma isn't even the 4th best player on a championship much less any wear ever being an all star player.

He's a second year player averaging almost 20 points with a positive assist to turnover ratio, you raging alcoholic hahahah

Was also only pick 27 in the draft, he has exceeded expectations and beyond.....imagine his growth wasn't stunted this year by a certain someone....

GET KUZMA SOME HELP ALREADY

When did 16ppg become almost 20? This isn't high school summer school you mathematical dunce. He averages 16ppg on 13.5 shots...half the league could do that if given the shots you cross eyed paint eating fukkwit. Never respond to a post I make again. I just lost more brain cells responding to you than 10 years of alcohol abuse ever could.

Hes averaging 18.7 points on 45% shooting.

Slow down on the whisky so you can stay on the correct line whilst reading stats, big boy :facepalm

I was looking at his rookie numbers and not paying attention. None of this changes what I said. Instead of 13.5 shots to 16ppg he is taking 15.5 shots to 18ppg. Literally nothing has changed except for the fact that he's taking more shots. If you think he's any kind of an actual impact player you don't know anything about basketball. Well, that's already a given considering you actually believe Demar Derozan is a good player.

Bingo.

[Indian guy]

Whatever happened to him? His last 10 games have been brutal. 16 ppg on 37% FG (24% from 3). Even last night, outside of that 1 qtr where he got hot, he just looked so limited at all facets of the game. Not even a poor man's Jamison at this point.

[PickernRoller]

I do wonder what the season would have been like without Lebron. Both him and Ingram would have probably averaged about 23-25 pts per, and grown much more as the centerpieces of an offense - with all the responsibility that entails.

Kinda sad his growth as a player is being derailed - which isn't just expressed in numbers... there is a mental aspect to it as well and it's huge.

Guys like Embiid, Giannis and hec even Russell will grow significantly faster. Gotta envy that...

I dread of losing Kuzma or Ingram... :facepalm :facepalm

[34-24 Footwork]

Unfortunately, this is happening. Good thing is that the media shitted on ALL the young guys early on to prop up Lebron and then they tried to prop them up at the trade deadline. They can't be consistent...which is good for Ingram and Kuzma.

Good observation. If they're crap what's their value to x franchise? X franchise asks for more and more.... which leads to rape deals which have to be declined.
