Bill Simmons the voice piece of Ainge. How much is Bill getting paid to inflate Tatum's worth. 🤣
Fans overrate their own players. Have you seen the talk about Brandon Ingram?

MJ wins that easily. And I am saying this as a MJ hater.
Everyone close to him either gets murdered, raped in the shower or gets a horrible case of AIDS.
Kobe will break you down mentally but he is killer on the court. Not a legit stab you in the eyes in your sleep killer like Jordan.
Most Laker fans have been shitting on the guy non-stop since he came back from suspension.Fans overrate their own players. Have you seen the talk about Brandon Ingram?

lonzo "untradeable" ballMost Laker fans have been shitting on the guy non-stop since he came back from suspension.
Bad example bro.
Better example.
The Ingram stuff mostly comes from the media and the Lakers themselves.Most Laker fans have been shitting on the guy non-stop since he came back from suspension.

Well that is the smart thing to do when you are trying to trade someone.The Ingram stuff mostly comes from the media and the Lakers themselves.
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.Well that is the smart thing to do when you are trying to trade someone.

The thing about Hart vs Ingram is that the latter is a better defender.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.

Ingram plays the he does because that how Magic wants him to play. The Lakers started using him differently right after Magic was hired.
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.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.

Steph aint the weak link.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.
there are like 30 current NBA players I'd prefer to Kobe on that team
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
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.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.
lol how do you ignore someone on this 3.0 ish
survivor is a mental game, he'd be the natalie white to durant's russell hantzIf 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.
game recognizes game. Big props to AI for recognizing GOAT Kobe.
In a fight to the death I would never bet on normal well adjusted human beings like Steph and Lebron.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.

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.

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