    Dude is a top 10 player! He's probably the consensus 2nd best PG in the NBA now no?

    Just a quick question Kon since you’re a big lakers fan. I’m sure you already went over this at one point. But were you for getting rid of a lot of their young players and I think a few picks were going to be offered for Anthony Davis? I honestly came into the season with the Lakers being my favorite team to watch. I personally wanted to see AD teaming with Lebron. Plus seeing how well he could improve some of the younger players. However, it almost seems it didn’t work out. Still think they should have gotten rid of Ball, while he would have been worth someone decent or a high draft pick. Are you regretting getting Lebron at all?

    I honestly thought coming into the season that we were going to see the lakers get a 7th or 8th seed. I feel Lebron just sort of gave up on fully trying before that injury. I guess at this point Lebron sitting out the rest of the season letting all the younger guys play and see who to stick with next year wouldn’t hurt. Do you think the lakers have a shot getting Kyrie next season that some sport anaylsts were talking about recently I’ve seen? I think him and Kyrie along with Kuzma would definitely be a playoff team. Or possibly if this was the year Lebron has finally fell off they could probably get some d--- good talent on the team getting rid of Lebron. Just disappointed with how this lakers season ended up.

    @dna hits , I’ve heard a decent amount of Lakers fans talk about regretting getting Bron, but you won’t see me being one of them. Bron not only puts them in the best spot to win a title in the near future, but also gives em the best chance to get another star next to him.

    With that said, this season has certainly been awful and maybe this season alone they would’ve been better off keeping last year’s team, basically adding IT and Randle to the mix and taking away Bron and the other vets.

    I feel like looking back on it now, the final nail in the coffin was the AD fiasco and how that was handled. Magic, Rob and Bron all preached patience at the start of the year then threw like all 6 of the young guys and some picks at AD when they got the shot even though it appears the Pelicans were never serious bout the talks. The front office f----- up big and I feel that ruined trust and chemistry for the season. They were making progress before that and before the injuries.

    As far as Lonzo goes, I don’t know how to feel exactly. On the positive side, I feel he’s a LOT more valuable than some think. The Lakers D is way better when he’s out there and he also runs the offense way better than anything they’ve had since. But his injuries and toughness are a concern, he doesn’t seem to play through anything and a minor injury originally slated to be day to day ends up keeping him out for months. That kinda scenario has happened at least 3 times already in his career.

    It’s gonna be an interesting offseason, I hope they keep Ingram at the very least, hopefully Kuzma too. I could definitely see them landing Kyrie, he’s gonna be out of Boston for sure. No clue what happens to AD though lol.

    I want to see Ingram get into another fight. They’re already out of the playoff race so f--- it. That was one of the most entertaining nba games I’ve watched in a while. He’ll really blow up as a fan favorite getting into another physical altercation. Fans love that s---.

    Dude can ball too. If they can add another player having him, kuzma, Lebron plus some decent fill in guys like Lonzo; i see them a good team next season. If LeBron isn’t falling off completely.

    You’re aware Ingram is out for the year and has a potential career threatening blood clot issue right?

    If Lebron had better teammates, they would've hit the playoffs. Lakers dont have enough chemistry to succeed.

    Watching this Lakers team is like a death march lmao. Crazy to think Bron is still not 100%.

    I think LeBron is pretty much 100%. He just doesn’t give a s---, at this point. He isn’t going to go all out risking making the injury worse. Even with this team next year, they won’t do s--- with their current team. The lakers will have to get another star caliber player if they really want to go to the playoffs. The majority of their younger players are complete s--- at the nba level. Just being honest with watching the Lakers all year.

    I didn’t mean he was completely healthy either, to be fair. He probably is more hurt than what I was thinking. The one game recently I remember the sport analysts said he was given a sedative before the game, so he clearly had some pain. Give Lebron painkillers for the rest of the season and let him recover this off season. With my herniated discs, football s----d without painkillers. You take some and you don’t feel anything being hit and have extreme energy. Just the next morning for film you wake up and feel like you got hit by a bus. But I’d smoke a bowl before film which relaxed my mind and body.

    Lakers gotta just shut Bron down for the season, I mean he's apparently still injured anyways so not like the NBA could do anything..Plus the more L's the better at this point.

    Might as well not add more miles to Bron for no reason in these games.
