Fans overrate their own players. Have you seen the talk about Brandon Ingram?
while that may happen, I want to believe Kobe or Lebron (understanding the business) would recruit Steph (the weakest link) to help kick MJ and Shaq out first. It will end with who Steph decides to side with Kobe or Lebron that will decide the winner.
Most Laker fans have been shitting on the guy non-stop since he came back from suspension.
Bad example bro.
right, but the timing of this piece is a bit suspect when there's recent rumors of a Lakers, Magic, and Pels trade.
This makes total sense to me. You just know AI seems himself as Brad Pitt in Troy.
Better example.
To be fair though to that poster, he is family.
Its hard to do family like that.
You wouldn't understand, being a Celtics fan.
The Ingram stuff mostly comes from the media and the Lakers themselves.
Well that is the smart thing to do when you are trying to trade someone.
Magic is extremely high on Ingram, and I don't see the Lakers legitimately shopping guys until the offseason and they see what happens with the second star plan.
I've never shitted on BI, check my receipts. I just believe his style is not conducive with Lebron ball. And thus my reasoning for Hart to over BI while he leads the second unit where they will need him to create.
Also with Dengs stretched contract still looming for 5 more years, it makes sense that BI and ZO would be shopped for a superstar.
The thing about Hart vs Ingram is that the latter is a better defender.
Ingram plays the he does because that how Magic wants him to play. The Lakers started using him differently right after Magic was hired.
My eyes tell me it's been a wash between Hart and Ingram on defense (Hart may even have a better Def rating - I haven't checked). The team as a whole has improved on defense. We just need to balance out the Offense with Hart in the lineup.
Hart is definitely worse defensively, though he isn't getting destroyed every possession like he was at the beginning of the season. Just look at last night's game and you'll see the difference.
Sure, Hart is a better interior defender than he is on the perimeter. But I've also seen perimeter players blow by Ingram as well. I just think with how well the team is playing on def lately anchored by Lonzo, adding hart to the starting position would help balance our offense.
Last night's game was a horrible example though. 2 of the 3 fouls Hart got in the first half were trash.
Steph aint the weak link.
Half those dudes are insecure. Shaq clearly is everyday on TNT. LeBron can be. Kobe can get in his feelings to prove a point.
We'll see about Curry. He still may be. Mostly seems he doesn't care
If we're talking about a hypothetical scenario of a game of Survivor, Steph wouldn't have the endurance to last the whole month. He'd be DNP. The game of survivor almost always ends with a strong contestant carrying a weaker to the end to win it all.
Hart's problem last night was him not being long enough to guard the guys we had Ingram on. Gay was just shooting over him.
I would blame the Lakers offensive issues on the scheme rather than the talent personally.
Don't underestimate Steph. The first person he going up to is Shaq, sowing the seeds of betrayal between him and Kobe. While Shaq is literally eating Kobe, Steph asks LeBron and MJ who is the better player.
Steph then disappears into the shrubbery to let them fight.

lol how do you ignore someone on this 3.0 ish
If I see any accounts accepted within the last couple days I'll be a little suspicious 😆
survivor is a mental game, he'd be the natalie white to durant's russell hantz
If Ingram had half the motor that Hart does, he would be KD. That's the issue. I have always said, Ingram mind wants to do what is body cant, he looks stuck in mud sometimes, or his legs are two steps behind his body.
game recognizes game. Big props to AI for recognizing GOAT Kobe.Trust LeProcess
In a fight to the death I would never bet on normal well adjusted human beings like Steph and Lebron.
In this game sociopaths rule.
Thus MJ is going to come out on top.
Really interesting article dissecting the box-score stats that most strongly correlate with wins.
"Here's the W-L record of teams that "won" the stat in the box score.

the strongest contestants are gifted mentally and physically. Kobe would be the Yul, Lebron is Ozzy, and Steph is Becky on Cook Islands.

Being good at making baskets correlates with winning games. Checks out, I guess.
Great thread.Trust LeProcess
Who does AI have coming off the bench though?
