As much as I want to hate on AD he's accomplished more to me than guys like Embiid, Jokic and Towns. Sure those guys have better stats but Davis has proven that with a decent team he can help you win a championship. |

The issue is that he DOES, in fact, get injured, alot, and he's not doing the team any good by sitting down for 50% of the season, every season.
Any professional team is about winning. And if you can't contribute to that, then your presence is not doing the team any good, especially when you are getting paid so much salary. |
I just don't understand how you can build a team around a guy who misses that many games, even if the injuries are all legit.
That said, AD isn't the only NBA Star missing lots of games, Silver addressed it publicly recently begging for a change.
The regular season has become close to meaningless in the current format, too many games being played with backups for big money tickets. The fans are turning off to it, compare and contrast to the NFL which has a regular season that is on fire with the players playing unless hurt bad. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

He proved that Lebron could drag him to a title. As the top dog like Embiid, Jokic and Towns he has accomplished as much as they did with the exception of maybe Towns. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Davis was the team's leading scorer, in both the playoffs and the regular season. I do agree though that Lebron was more of the go to guy, but so was Kobe during the Shaq era.
I don't think you are giving AD enough credit. He led the team in points, rebounds, blocks, and steals that season while playing DPOY level defense. |

Depends what you mean as THE guy. As you said, Davis was the leading scorer, while also being the best defender by a margin. James is always with the ball so it looks like hes doing more, both on the statsheet and without paying attention to detail. But thats not something i necessary value so much. To me, they were co-stars that title run, with Davis having the slight edge due to defense _________________ 48 49 50 52 53 54 72 80 82

AD is the primary reason they won in 2020. Dude even had a legitimate case for DPOY. The team collapses when he's not healthy. Even a 75% AD changes the complexity of the Laker defense. So yeah, his health needs to be the biggest priority for the FO right now. They need to get a crew of the best doctors and mad scientists to figure out his injury woes. The moment he gets hurt again next season, it's over. They are at the whim of his injury situation, and that speaks volumes about how poorly the team is constructed. |

4.5 month break and isolated circumstances were our mvp. If you disagree point to me what ad has done without that.
He needs to be moved and our rebuild needs to start. We may be marginally better next year but not nearly championship level. This 2 headed monster is not elite outside of some spurts. |

Bron has been here 4 years. Without the luxury of the bubble we have been bad.
He’s done as a full time player. Next year will be worse than this in regards to his health, however he said we had a successful season which we all know he meant him = Karl Malone

There is no luxury of the bubble
-both him and Davis were healthy all year
-both AllNBA 1st team, Davis should have won DPOY
-we were the best and hottest team when the break happened
-we lost home court advantage
-the break came just before the playoffs, not really in the middle of the seaaon, and not really when we were running on fumes
Other team benefited more because clearly, playing a season right after a chamoionship playoff run affected the team. James got hurt, Davis got hurt. If fresher and healthy, that team goes to the Finals. And has better chances against Milwaukee than Phoenix did.
I dont care much about James, i hold him accountable for this year, for us losing all assets as well, and for not bringing effort and leadership to this group of players. But im not gonna sit here and pretend we were barely standing in 2020, then got lucky the NBA went on break _________________ 48 49 50 52 53 54 72 80 82

Dude even had a legitimate case for DPOY. The team collapses when he's not healthy. Even a 75% AD changes the complexity of the Laker defense. So yeah, his health needs to be the biggest priority for the FO right now. They need to get a crew of the best doctors and mad scientists to figure out his injury woes. The moment he gets hurt again next season, it's over. They are at the whim of his injury situation, and that speaks volumes about how poorly the team is constructed. |
4.5 month break and isolated circumstances were our mvp. If you disagree point to me what ad has done without that.
He needs to be moved and our rebuild needs to start. We may be marginally better next year but not nearly championship level. This 2 headed monster is not elite outside of some spurts. |
The same break Leonard, Butler, Jokic, Giannis, Harden, Embiid etc had? Because of this break, AD had to go straight from playoffs to RS. It hurt us in 2021 when we had a more talented team than 2020. |
Now do the 3 years bron didn’t have a break. |
No idea what you are talking about, but youre wrong about 2020 |
Lottery
Bubble
Play in first round bounce
Lottery
That’s what I’m talking about |
I never mentioned 2019. 2020 we won a championship, and had to play the next seaaon immediately after, because of the break and NBA not wanting to lose money. It hurt us in 2021. This season was a disaster, im not gonna excuse anyone |
Bron has been here 4 years. Without the luxury of the bubble we have been bad.
He’s done as a full time player. Next year will be worse than this in regards to his health, however he said we had a successful season which we all know he meant him = Karl Malone
You can’t use excuses for failure then look at bubble as being normal. |
There is no luxury of the bubble
-both him and Davis were healthy all year
-both AllNBA 1st team, Davis should have won DPOY
-we were the best and hottest team when the break happened
-we lost home court advantage
-the break came just before the playoffs, not really in the middle of the seaaon, and not really when we were running on fumes
Other team benefited more because clearly, playing a season right after a chamoionship playoff run affected the team. James got hurt, Davis got hurt. If fresher and healthy, that team goes to the Finals. And has better chances against Milwaukee than Phoenix did.
I dont care much about James, i hold him accountable for this year, for us losing all assets as well, and for not bringing effort and leadership to this group of players. But im not gonna sit here and pretend we were barely standing in 2020, then got lucky the NBA went on break |
Sure there is. Both bron and him can’t stay healthy for real season. They have only proven effective with a 4 month break in isolated conditions. The heat were our finals opponent. IMHO they weren’t the best team in east, the other teams , as we heard in real time didn’t really want to be there. Not debatable |

I just said they were healthy for that entire season.
So only the teams that lost didnt want to be there, how convenient of a excuse. _________________ 48 49 50 52 53 54 72 80 82
