Old news.

[GimmeThat]

twitter is the mind media

[FKAri]

So basically, LeCoach

[superduper]

No excuses :eek:

[Haymaker]

JR Smith to Lakers confirmed. :applause:

[DukeDelonte13]

JR Smith to Lakers confirmed. :applause:


that wouldn't necessarily be a bad idea.

James and JR have a good relationship.

LA and Cleveland have been recent trade partners.

JR can shoot and defend, plus his deal is an expiring deal this upcoming season.

[DukeDelonte13]

Pros with Lue:

Allegedly not afraid to call out Lebron.

Good with X's and O's, great at drawing up ATO plays.

Cons:

Rotations aren't great, will favor older vet that plays lazy than young guy who tries and does what he is supposed to do.

Too much of a "player's coach" but i guess that's what you have to be with a Lebron team.

basically lakers will be a middle of the pack team for the remainder of lebrons contract, then theyll fire lue/wont extend, and restart our 5 year draft process all over again. whoopie!

We needed someone to develop and push the young core to the next level and instead we got Lue :facepalm

Cavs 2.0, lol. This time at least the team president is 100% f*ckworthy.

You say this as if the young core is coming back. :lol

[theballerFKA Ace]

I hated Lebron ball with the Cavs

I hate it even more with the Lakers

After last year's finals are you still sure about that? :oldlol:

Bro LeGOAT added two WHOLE wins to your team. Be greatful for his negative impact 30pt triple doubles :rockon:

Pros with Lue: Takes Lebron up the ass with no Vaseline so he can be happy.

Lue is not an upgrade over Luke... It's a sideways move or downgrade possibly..

I want to see who the assistant coaches are. Staff can make a big difference..

So the lakers tanked to get picks and draft young players, only to give them away for nothing, sign bran and obviously next a pile of washed vets and repeat the same failures :lol :lol :facepalm LA Cavs

Signing LeCancer was the WORST thing for the team:facepalm

[PickernRoller]

:( :( :( :mad: :mad: :mad:

[90sgoat]

Lebron won't make the playoffs ever again.

[bobopenguin]

now we just need to get JR, K.Love, nance and clarkson back.

[LukeWalton]

Miss me yet?

enjoy Ty Lue

:D

[oh the horror]

[dazzer87]

Lakers got their scapegoat for next yr when it goes bad again.

No shit. This will end ugly...

This exactly. The media has been RECENTLY praising him and pushing his name in the media.

He's DEFINITELY the scapegoat now that Walton and Magic are gone.

[QuebecBaller]

Love (or Thompson) and JR Smith for Ball, Ingram and Kuzma this summer?

[FireDavidKahn]

Can't wait for the leaked emails about how Buss thinks Lue is doing a terrible job.

[3ball]

The funny thing is that there's an article saying Ty Lue got the job by impressing Jeannie with X's and O's

except Jeannie isn't into X's and O's

Then Kevin Love goes in Undisputed and makes a point of saying how Ty Lue is awesome at X's and O's - so it's clearly a marketing campaign to sell the narrative that Lue isn't a lap dog for lebron and can actually coach.

The problem is that the stats dispute it all - Ty Lue let lebron hold the ball for 11.0 minutes per game in the 18' Finals, which was nearly 20% more than Harden's 9.5 in 2019.. So there were no X's and O's other than letting lebron dominate the ball more than Harden.. the Cavs were MASSIVELY out-assisted and lost by record amount, much worse than the clippers did in this year's playoffs.. #LeFraud... #LeMarketingScheme

:applause:

The ENTIRE media has been campaigning for Ty Lue...a guy who they were shitting on just 2-3 years ago. No team was reaching out for Ty Lue and suddenly the Lakers want him for his Xs and Os. What in the actual fvck?? Wouldn't be surprised if Richard Jefferson was acquired in the off-season.

Good Lord....make it stop :(

It's a mess... Lakers were doing so well until Christmas day then everything fell apart.. We had a solid young team.. Our rebuild was almost complete, all we had to do was develop what we had.. Adding Lue means we dump everything we have for a bunch of 3pt shooters.. Smh
