Yeah I would definitely test him if I was playing the Lakers.
He might be washed too.

Warriors actually went 16-1 the first year with Durant. You could say they would have had 4 or 5 if Draymond doesn't get suspended and so many don't get injured in last year's finals. You could say they might have had 2 if Kyrie and Love are in the first finals. Same deal with the Lakers' 3 titles. Point is, direct comparisons like these are too vague, too many variables.
Those first 2 years under Steve Kerr they were the most fun team I've watched across all sports, all time. That puts them over the Lakers. Shaq "hook shotting them to death" as he likes to say isn't that.
do they even make the playoffs at this point? it's looking murky
Imagine AD leaves, I can't imagine what it'll do to LA after we just lost a GOAT.
They play Rondo too much. And they need that defensive identity back. They'll be fine post All Star break.
lakers finally coming down to earth as the miami heat rise. time for miami to make another finals appearance
The only reason the Warriors didnt 3peat was KD got injured. That's it.
Not to make excuses, but people forget because the media only brings him up when it's time to shit on him, but Pelinka and Kobe were pretty close..Gianna was even his goddaughter iirc.
That feels like an excuse for just not getting things done.
Went through an emotional thing together and probably bonded a bit more during it.
I see it, but also...
Lakers are family now. Caruso is your older more handsome brother. Rondo is the washed up uncle with the starter cap. KCP the cousin in and out of jail. Kuzma yo fuck boy baby daddy that shows up family reunions for free food.
I would be surprised if Collison's name was mentioned a single time in these threads his entire Pacer career, unless it was by a Pacer fan.
I could play the washed uncle role.
Though I could never nut punch like Rondo can. :(
Zion is gonna be the final big, but what a big to go out on
He changed the game. Literally. NBA teams shoot more 3s because of he and Klay, he was a unanimous MVP, and everyone you listed are known for being shooters(apart from early Wade) and he is going to go down as the greatest shooter of all-time with multiple championships, who wasn't selfish. I might argue that Kobe is higher, but I'm also not a Kobe stan, so I don't know.
Do you think you could show up to the Lakers practice facility and show off some of your skills? You would probably immediately take Rondo's spot.
I remember talking about Collinson with giglepoo. Also, anything at this point is an upgrade over Rondo lol
i tried. For some reason they won't let me in the door.
They won't even let me show LeBron my highlight package!
All you need to do is dribble the ball in a straight line and make passes to players posting up and you're already better than Rondo. Don't give up!
Don't forget the refs literally handed the WCF to the Lakers one year. A man went to jail for it.
You probably lost the interview the second you told them you wanted to show LeBron your package.
Are they ok if I wave off LeBron every once in awhile in the 4th quarter and take my man to the hole?
Also, as trash as Rondo is he has a better handle than anyone in this thread (including myself). But thats about all he can do and its not enough.
Iggy = LeBron, my god, the pieces fit! Finally, I've solved the equation!
The Warriors could put 5 hall of fame players on the court.
The Lakers were carried by Shaq and Kobe averaging like 60 points a game and with the occasional B Shaw, Horry or Fish clutch 3.
I think the Shaq/Kobe Lakers can beat the Warriors without KD. But with KD that is just too stacked of a team.
Lets be honest though Draymond and Iggy are not really true HOF players, they're good players elevated in status by playing on a really good team.
team psyche and emotions were probably fragile. This seems to be a very tight team, and after something emotional like that I could see a reluctance to mess with that chemistry, especially when there wasn't really a no brainer deal out there for the Lakers.
Iguadala was legit for like 5 or 6 seasons when he was on the Sixers. He was a legit star and could take those team to the playoffs to lose to the Heat or someone really good.
Draymond I think I have to agree with you, but the Warriors don't work without him. He makes that small ball shit possible and can at times be a genius on defense.
You are correct except I was there for the taking. If the Clippers, Lakers, Sixers, or Bucks come up short it is their own damn fault for not looking outside the normal NBA channels for talent.
