2662773, Was "Kylie Kuzma" really the best he could come up with?

Cedric Ceballos wept
2662808, Yeah...the "Kylie" angle is weak

2662776, I can't believe this is what's hot to do.
Posted by B.J.S.301, Tue Jun-12-18 10:41 AM
Make joke diss tracks to your own teammate? God kids have nothing to to do in the offseason.
2662778, lonzo's never playing a second on bron's team
Posted by bshelly, Tue Jun-12-18 10:45 AM
and since i'm calling bron on the lakers, yes, i'm saying lonzo gets traded.
2662779, track is surprisingly good and i think this "rivalry" is fun
Posted by pretentious username, Tue Jun-12-18 10:46 AM
Bron ain't going there though but not cause of this.
2662780, zo, melo and kuz stay clowning each other on social media
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Tue Jun-12-18 10:46 AM
so this aint really a big deal. its kinda childish though and i expect magic to step in on this in light of the d'tective saga.
2662781, You think they *really* want LeBron as a teammate?
Posted by Cocobrotha2, Tue Jun-12-18 10:49 AM
I'm sure they're in awe of his talent, money and accomplishments but the locker room gonna get real tight and serious if he goes there.

Shit like this going to be greeted with cryptic sub-tweets, passive-aggressive press conferences and unsubstantiated trade rumors.
2662810, yeah i could see him going full "dad bron"
Posted by dula dibiasi, Tue Jun-12-18 12:01 PM
(which we saw the beginnings of in this last cleveland run: https://www.theringer.com/2017/1/31/16045776/this-is-the-dad-bron-era-73963c172608)

and it turning into a completely miserable experience for all involved.

would much rather see him with a veteran bunch like houston or the spurs.

Kuz, Hart and Zo roasting each other all season has been very entertaining. As a Lakers fan, it's an encouraging- and endearing- sign.

They feel like a genuine team and I think that chemistry is going to carry over next season as everyone develops.

Further, this is being done in a way that's decidedly unlike the Swaggy P/DLo fiasco.

As far as I'm concerned these guys are developing a culture of camaraderie. This should only be an issue if/when it becomes a distraction and/or they don't develop into a winning team.

If they wind up on on some D12 shit three-four years from now and don't know how or when to hit the off switch, then we'll talk.

Brawn shouldn't be trying to join a team of kids like this. Houston or San Antonio is the spot for a man of his tenure and his position.

Personally I want to let these kids cook, exactly as they are.
2662809, me and my dudes did the same thing at that age 20 yrs ago
Posted by dula dibiasi, Tue Jun-12-18 11:55 AM
i.e. make up dumb raps shitting on each other.

we just weren't rich famous ballplayers w/ social media and soundcloud.

good harmless fun. non-story imo.
2662811, two things can be true

1) absolutely nothing wrong with young dudes having fun.

2) bron ain't putting up with young dude shit.

Kuz has legit comedy chops that Zo lacks.

Zo doesnt want it.
2662814, one of the main reason I don't see Bron coming to the Lakers is Magic &...
Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Jun-12-18 12:17 PM
Rob are not going to let him come in and call shots and sign Bron to a 1+1 contract and trade away all our young talent for some overpriced vets just to get Bron one more ring.

Luckily the Lakers are not as thirsty and some of these other franchises are and willing to mortgage their future for a year or 2 of Bron.
2662815, to cloak, or not to cloak
Posted by bentagain, Tue Jun-12-18 12:22 PM
LOL, nice try

you trying to convince yourself?

We can up the posts speculating Bron to the LAL...pretty confident they are at least 2 years old

i.e. the fuck were you clearing cap space for?

to sign PG, LOL
2662817, I'm good either way, if we sign him cool, if not I won't be upset either...
Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Jun-12-18 12:27 PM
at this point it doesn't make sense to mortgage your future for a guy that's going to turn 34 this season no matter who he is.


2662818, so you see a chip in the near future, like the next 2 years
Posted by bentagain, Tue Jun-12-18 12:31 PM
with IT3, Zo, Kuz, BI, and Randle

?

I think you're really underestimating Magic's competitive nature

He may not have been the pitbull on the outside that MJ was

but he was every bit as much a competitor

They took over this mess

why would they hold onto a losing hand?

Bron is a FA, if he opts out

you're worried about giving up any of the names listed above to acquire Bron...which would make you a contender before the ink is dry

not sure what is so coveted about the LAL's roster today

?
2662856, Honestly even if they landed Bron and PG I don't see them having enough...
Posted by ThaTruth, Tue Jun-12-18 04:05 PM
to compete with GS.

GS is the clear favorite for at least one more season before they have to make some hard decisions.

Bron is at his best ever but unless he is on a Barry Bonds regimen his production will probably start to slide in a couple of years. He'll still be good but not make any team instant contender good.

I think Magic and Rob are definitely interested but they don't have all their eggs in the "Lebron or bust" basket.

>with IT3, Zo, Kuz, BI, and Randle

You think Brawn, PG and whatever other aging friend is beating a GSW team currently in it's prime over the course of the two-three year window we'll most likely have?

Hey, if that happens, I'll take it. But it's not likely. Yay WCF, I guess.

>I think you're really underestimating Magic's competitive
>nature

Cool

>They took over this mess

Yes, and they immediately improved on said mess.

>why would they hold onto a losing hand?

Losing hand? We've improved on our winning percentage two years in a row, in good strides at that. Skipping steps in a rebuild at a time when there's a stranglehold on that top spot is risky.

Boston, GS and OKC all built themselves organically, and that's the blueprint we should be following.

Calling the current roster a "losing hand" assumes no further significant growth from any player, and that's a foololish assumption.

>Bron is a FA, if he opts out

>ink is dry

Yes, for a couple of years, before he moves on, after having held our feet to the fire, demanding absurd contracts for moderately talented Klutch players.

It's a better long term strategy to build slowly, incrementally, so that we're hitting a stride with young players in teo to three years when GS is older and, hopefully, in a mortal state.

>not sure what is so coveted about the >LAL's roster today

Because it's not about "today", it's about building a team that's competitive long term instead of trying to hotshot our way into contending, likely for second place, while GS is on a tear.

If this were Brawn three-four years ago, or multiple players in their primes at the same time, yeah. You go for it. But going all in on a guy in his 16th season while GS is on god mode takes a risk of playing for second.
2662823, haha.. they're funny as hell..

2662905, Are you under the impression that athletes only "work on their game"?
Posted by Cold Truth, Tue Jun-12-18 06:56 PM
Do you think that they do not have, like, relationships with other people, outside hobbies and interests and what have you?

Because you can literally ask "don't they have better things to do, like work on their game?" regarding any activity that isn't working on their game.

Thanksgiving dinner?
Reading a book or watching a movie?
Getting pussy?

NOPE. They damn well better get in that fucking gym with their free time!
