Kuzma,KCP, Harrell all flourishing on the Wizards

[Manny98]

Life after LeBron ball is a good one :applause:

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Harrell has a 29 PER and 34% win share. When did he turn into prime shaq wow

Maybe he was right when he used to tell Paul George he was better then him

[LeCola]

If you replace Beal and Lebron they are almost "20-21 Laker minus Davis".

That team is 4-1 now.

What do you think about it?

[8Ball]

And look at Harden and Kyrie with Durant.

Kyrie can't even play under Durant Ball and Harden turned into garbage player.

Just like Lebron ends Luol Deng's career.

[ShawkFactory]

They’re playing very well right now. No way the energy they’re playing with lasts all year but it’s actually fun to watch. Even if it’s at the hawks expense.

[8Ball]

Just like Lebron ends Luol Deng's career.

It ended before Bron got there.

Durant ball has Kyrie and Harden either not playing or sucking ass.

If Lebron didn't sign Lakers, Deng was going to return and he was going to win 2 MVPs and 2 FMVPs in two years.

But, Lebron ended his career.

[ralph_i_el]

Harrell just physically destroyed two teams in two nights in the paint on offense. No comment on his D, but the force and energy he brings on offense is awesome. The Wiz have adopted a strategy of chucking jumpshots with no conscience, forcing teams to play them close on the perimeter, and then forcing the issue downlow with Gafford (before he went down the other night) and Harrell, who are both athletic forces.

Wrong.

Deng joined the Wolves after and played games for them.

Bron never ended his career. It ended when he played 1 Laker game in 2017-2018.


Remember, I have never lost an argument on this forum. Ever.

Amazing. They might even crack 40 wins. :lol

Deng joined Minnesota after Lebron joined Lakers.

[RRR3]

15.2 PPG on 50.0 TS% is considered great for Kuzma. Ouch. Just how bad is he?


As for Harrell, he scores well everywhere he goes so not surprising. And KCP is a good player also not surprising.

[bison]

Lonzo and Caruso flourishing as well. I tell ya man, life after lebron is like seeing the sun rise once again after 4 years of darkness. It’s like feeling once more what it’s like to be a real human being.

[TheCorporation]

Amazing. They might even crack 40 wins. :lol

:lol Dat flourish

[ralph_i_el]

Amazing. They might even crack 40 wins. :lol

They'll hit 40 wins before the Lakers do.

[Airupthere]

I thought kuzma would have been diminished by now playing with lebron for 3 seasons. Good for him.

[imdaman99]

Lebron taught them what it takes to get to the next level. They watched day in day out his work ethic and now they're putting in the work :rockon:

But still, it's only been 5 games :lol

[Jasper]

take all three players and a draft pick , and you can have Simmons !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

[3ba11]

The list of guys that Lebron destroys is ridiculously long, starting with the sidekick he stole from Arenas to beat Arenas in the 06' Playoffs (Hughes), and ending with Westbrook and Kuzma

[ShawkFactory]

In all seriousness Kuzma isn’t really doing things all that differently. He’s still a very streaky shooter and doesn’t offer all that much as an on ball player.

His off ball movement has been good. Seems like he might have gained a little bit of weight and is using his body pretty well to finish underneath.

Defense is where I’m a bit surprised. He’s using his length well and instinctually is doing things that a guy with his stature should. It’s hard to tell if it’s him or just the ridiculous motor the entire team has at the moment but it’s something I was pretty impressed with.

I wish this wasn’t the moral of the story but...Lebron did nothing to him. If anything having AD underneath took an important strength of his away (cutting and finishing). And he just no longer was a starter once the Lakers got Davis. Is what it is. He’s a nice player to have. Nowhere near a star.

Honestly, probably. Kuzma has been hustling his ass off and playing with a lot of physicality. Trez is clearly channeling the rage of not playing much last year. KCP is real steady. I'm such a fan of this trade.

[Charlie Sheen]

I'd hope so. I can't even tell you the names of who those minutes were going to last season... or the season before that :lol

[imdaman99]

Yep, got you 3 solid rotational players. No more Anthony Gills :oldlol: but where's Rui?

Such a stupid trade by the Lakers. KCP was an ideal fit and a key player for them. Harrell didn’t fit but he at least has trade value and could have been moved for a better fitting player. Kuzma is shit but even he could be moved for something I imagine. Or if not at least he’s not ball dominant and gives the Lakers a hybrid wing/big.

[ralph_i_el]

Nobody knows anything about what's going on with Rui.

[tontoz]

Nobody knows anything about what's going on with Rui.

Apparently he is practicing but not in game shape yet. No idea why he missed camp.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Scottie Kuzma Pippen does it again. 17 points, 17 rebounds, 2 blocks.

Seems he does that just about every night.

[ImKobe]

No wonder the Lakers suck on defense without him, KCP & Caruso.. Kuz always played his ass off on defense but got no credit for it, even though the Lakers improved on D with Lebron & AD out last year.

[bison]

Washington Lakers eatin GOOD right now

Kuzma :bowdown:

[coin24]

Every ex laker flourishes away from LeTiny

[tontoz]

Kuzma is averaging 12 rebounds a game :wtf:

Harrell is averaging 19/10 with a 67% TS. :bowdown:

KCP has been a tough defender, has a TS of 64% and hit some big shots in key moments.

[TheCorporation]

22 year old Kuzma's rookie season vs 26 year old Kuzma's Wizard season

Rookie szn as a starter/bench player = 16.1 ppg on 46%
26 year old as a starter = = 15.5 ppg on 42%

Is this what we're celebrating? :lol Slim pickins for the LeJealous fans

[Axe]

Caruso and ball have been equally successful as well, more or less.

[Hey Yo]

LeBron missed 27 of 72gms last season.

What were those guys stats for those games?
