    Raps think they got the best defender in the league ?!?!?!?!?!? :embiid:

    I think a lot of people are forgetting that Embiid and Simmons are only gonna get better.

    A lot of ifs but Markelle Fultz would be the perfect fit. This guy was a number 1 consensus draft pick in a very strong draft afterall. Back in college he was very good at creating his own shot. You have every right to call him a bust right now but I warn ya... they same people called Embiid and Simmons that as well.

    Got swept by the team that got swept in the Finals, not a title contender IMO

    I think Boston & Philly will both have better records this season. Also Fultz is a stud, that's only gonna help

    Right, so basically you have no proof, so pullout the good old 'I'm not gonna bother' after actually bothering yourself. Right. :cam2:

    And speaking about Lonzo, since you actually replied something about it, let's take a look at his monthly stats actually:
    October .286 (7 games)
    November .243 (14 games)
    December .377 (10 games)
    January .324 (5 games)
    February .667 (2 games)
    March .275 (14 games)
    Pre All-Star .303 (36 games)
    Post All-Star .310 (16 games)

    So when exactly did he start shooting better and what kind of articles are you reading ? As you can see, the only time he actually shot good was February and probably only because the sample size is just so small (2 games). That article was straight up nitpicking months, just to include a really low sample size to increase the %. His shot is one of the worst in the NBA and he will never be consistent from the 3 point line as long as he don't change it (changing it so late in the career could ruin the shot even more, but there's not much to ruin there). So yeah man, I know quite a bit about Lakers, meanwhile you fail to prove a single point of yours so far.

    There's a lot of talking about how good looking Fultz shot is now, hopefully that's actually true and he completely overcame those yipes and developed a better shot. That whole situation with him throughout the season was just straight up garbage

    Pretty sure 86 3 pointers from a guy who doesn’t even s---t a ton isn’t a 2 game sample size or a small sample size for a rookie who was injured some anyways.

    You simply don’t know what you’re talking about if you don’t think the Lakers have guys who can hit 3s.. it’s that simple. Lonzo was my 5th example, but yes he did improve after his disaster shooting start last year.

    Yes, those months were a complete nitpick. I mean would you mind explaining how it isn't ? So you post some copy pasta from an article saying how his shot has improved during those months, while I completely proved it didn't improve at all. It's literally cherry picking stats to make someone look better. Oh he only played two games that month and only attempted 9 threes ? I gotta include those two games in my calculations, the sample is big enough to make assumptions, instead of adding months where he played +10 games. Do you see how dumb that sounds ?

    Right, I know nothing. You know so much and yet you fail to back up a single point of yours. Keep repeating the same s---, there's no point in discussing this any further with you, as you can't prove anything, while I even throw in some stats for you.

    Lol still completely ignoring the other 4 guys I brought up.

    Whatever man, think what ya want. Lonzo’s shooting started out horrendous and got a little better at times later in the year. Not saying he’s the top shooting threat or anything. The sample size I gave were stats, not sure what you need me to back up.

    Done arguing with ya though.

    Did you ever see that video Gilbert Arenas did detailing the issues with Lonzo’s shot? Thought it was awesome tbh. Never expected anything like it from him.

    Lmfao Curry knocked LeBron right out of the 10's decade... d---. Well I assume this picture is going by winningest player and not best player, cause if it was best player the 60's would be Wilt not Bill R. so sadly after the Warriors win again this next season this photo will make sense
